Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

What do you think of rival ships to advance shipping?

PokeShipping - I can't say I'm a fan of it. I mean, I used to like it which makes me feel awkward when I look at my old posts. Regardless I'm not a fan of love/hate or opposites pairings. I can't see it working out.

ContestShipping - No. Just...no. Sorry that's the nicest way I can say it. Previous posts pretty much said what I would've said.

PearlShipping - It's a pretty cute ship to me. Heck, I even semi-support it...err...I guess that's all I can say at the moment.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Awww, thanks everyone :3 *huggs* My fanart skills are getting...better i guess xDD

What do you think of rival ships to advance shipping?

Pokeshipping: mostly one-sided, and the 'Opposites Attract' concept never made sense to me- it rarely ever happens in real life. And besides, Misty always seemed like an older sister to Ash than anything else.

Contestshipping: I'm sorry to say this, but Drew was too arrogant since the beginning for my tastes. And he treated May like crap...then expects that throwing roses will fix it all. His character just irks me.

Pearlshipping: Too bland, and too stiff. I personally don't see much potential in it, and the extent of the 'hints' are shallow things like high-fives. Ash seems like the older brother to Dawn.

Not to be offensive to other shippers of course. This is just my solid opinion. ;)

So yes, Advanceshipping is my way to go =]

Oh, so I'm sure some of you remember the freewebs site I said I was making. I finally think I've collected enough hints and cute moments for it...so, for the next majority of posts, I'm going to post these hints to see what you guys think. Feel free to add more to it, discuss/argue it, or just bask in its lovely ADVness ;] (do know that some of these hints are ones that I've found throughout this thread, so you may have heard it before or recognize that you were the one who posted it. All credit goes to you guys :D)

Hint #1

In the episode New Plot-Odd Lot, while May is worrying about the contest, Ash volunteers right away that he “would be happy to help her train”, in which May looked at him gratefully and thanked him. Later, after being infuriated by Harley, May quickly says, “Ash! Want to train?” to which Ash quickly stands up (ignoring his food I should add ^^) and says happily, “Right behind you!”

And random screenie~

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Thinking about how many times Ash has saved May's life, I've started wondering:

1) Has May ever thanked him for saving her?

2) How many times has she saved him?


For the second question, I remember how she and Professor Birch saved Ash back in the Advanced Generation premiere, when Ash was in a similar situation to what May would later face in "All Torkoal, No Play." Any others?

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Oh please, guys, you're missing the big one...!
Movie 9, post putting Haruka in the mini escape pod.

...Satoshi's brain is completely shut off because of lack of oxygen, and it really looks like he's about to drown, but then Haruka enters his mind and body and heart... and not only does he wake up from his almost-dead stupor, but he gets a sudden burst of energy to go on. <3

My favorite advanceshipping moment, by far, ever, haha.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

^^ Okay, thanks for pointing that one out. Though I'm pretty sure Ash is still ahead in the "saving the other person's life" count.

Yea, that is just about how i see the others ships in comparison to Advanceshipping. And I say this in the nicest way possible. I try to treat all my "enemys" with dignity and respect or else we get what happened to Germany after WW1 (if you don't get what i mean, pm me).

@Rocker: What you talking about, My advanceshipping Spirit hasn't gone down since the day i found out about it. The evidence to it is just too strong, and until i see, on my tv screen, that is not happening, i will not lose hope!

Also, sorry i wasn't on yeasterday, I was attempting to survive tornado force winds. I succeeded, our STEEL barn wasn't so lucky!:eek:

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

lol you could say that May is saving Ash here xD

Has May ever thanked him for saving her?
A few times...though she mostly looks relieved and sends Ash a fervent 'thank you' gaze rather than saying anything out loud. Then again, she also tends to say 'thank you' to him in many other types of situations, like when he compliments her or something ;]

Hint #2

In Lessons in Lilycove, Ash gets very scared for May as Combusken’s fire spin goes out of control. Then, when waiting for the results of the second round, Ash is seen intently looking at the screen and saying to himself, “Come on May, don’t worry, you’re going to make it.” It is sweet to see that, even though Ash wanted to get Swellow to learn Aerial Ace, he still found the time in between to watch all of May’s performances. Then, after finishing his training, Ash comes back into the Contest Hall and says, “Now I’m looking forward to a great battle, and a victory for May!” Then, during the battle, when Grumpig uses Bounce and it looks like Combusken just might be finished, Ash is seen to be the only one standing up, his eyes wide with fear for May.

Contestshipping:Seems like a perfectly normal shipping choice to me at first Drew might seem like a fool but he gets better as time and eps go on

Pearlshipping:I see this one as more friends than anything else

Hint #3

In “Hail to the Chef,” May’s stomach growls, which makes Brock and Ash joke about how it sounds like Ash’s stomach.

^lol I found this one amusing ;]

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

What do you think of rival ships to advance shipping?

Pokeshipping: I never really liked the idea of Ash and Misty being together because to me Misty acted more like a big sister.

Contestshipping: I think that its kinda shallow. Sure girls like roses, but it gets old fast.

Pearlshipping: I think that Dawn and Ash act more like brother and sister. Some of the hints people use don't really support it, so Ash and Dawn high-five each other that doesn't mean they like each other. If it does then me and my friend(girl) like each other more then friends.

These are just my opinions if I offended anyone I am sorry.

Princess those are cool hints I remember the first two but I don't recall the third my memory is kinda rusty.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

I recall her thanking him quite a few times. But they were usually a gratuous gaze.

How many times has she saved him?

I'm sure she has saved him at least twice... the first episode comes to mind, but Prof. Birch was with May at the time. So...

Hint #1

All three sound good. :] Can't wait for the site to be up, btw. Good luck with it.

And some extra stuff:

I finally found a screenie with May holding Pikachu. Ah, the things they do for loveeach other. From Manectric Charge.

From The Bicker the Better. I find it cute how Ash and May make up so fast compared to Ash with Misty/Dawn. And their expressions in this screenie make it all the more adorable. <3333

Edit: The pic won't work. :[

i agree with you point about some of the so-called pearlshipping hints not actually being hints. what's so romantic about a high five, and oops i forgot to mention my opinion about pearkshipping

Awww, thanks everyone :3 *huggs* My fanart skills are getting...better i guess xDD

I agre with your opinion of contest shipping a 100%. Drew does treat her like crap, i think he only wants to "get some" from May.


Lastly i have another question:

what other ships in with ash or may in them do you like(if any)?
There's two ash ships i like also but one of them is a crossover one xD
1.mareshipping:I mainly like them becuase the kiss they shared.There was also a few other hints in the movie if i rember right I still prefer advanceshipping over this couple since ash knew may longer than bianca.However i don't know Bianca's perosnality that well, maybe she wasn't compatible for ash if i got know her more?

2.ash/wendy darling: this ship in a sense is similar to advance hsipping but however Wendy would be able to help ash from being so dense about love, and she's a dreamer unlike may. i find this ship cute too.

Let's not beat up on Drew too much, 'kay? You're toeing a line I'd rather not have a newbie cross (this is where you read the rules, real good). Arrogant, maybe. Horny? They'd have Harley admit he's gay before the writers would have a sexually active pre-teen, so your interpretation...bordering on not-cool-round-these-parts. Mmkay?

I agree with you, we wouldn't want to start anything that offends others. I can see were Ponyboy is coming from but I think that its Drew's attitude that will push May and Ash together. Drew hurts May's feels, Ash cheers her up, they realize they love each other and they live happily ever after.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

well yeah i can see his attitude pushing ash and may together eventually. the main reason i think of drew like that is that he'd always try to spend some"alone time" with May.

sorry i was being kinda rude, but the few guys i've known in my life that were sexually active before the age of 13 behaved similar to drew when around girls they wanted.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

I see Drew as a guy who find May cute - In the sisterly way, and tries to make her happy. But doesn't know how to, so he ticks her off like all siblings do. And I see him as an AdvanceShipper as well, coz he only seems to give her roses when Ash is looking ;D

I never noticed that HAHA well that's something to look out for...

And nice to see I'm not the only person who likes Mareshipping, still since Bianca was a one off character there was no chance for me to like it as much as advanceshipping.

Just me being Random but Latias was awesome during the Pokemon Heroes Movie.
