Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Just thought I'd let you guys know that Boomerang (a sub-channel of cartoon network) is going to be showing Hoenn episodes starting on May 22nd. So, that's just more Advanceshippy stuff for us, assuming you have the channel.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

don't think we have any policies about user-run shipping competitions just yet (which is why I offered an alternative site for discussion). I'll talk it over with @Insanish Danish ; and get back to you on that. What I know you CAN do for sure is use the blogs to outline and advertise the competition like I've done in the past. I am very interested in the idea of user-run competitions for the shipping section and hope that there will be some developments to come from this discussion.

I do, however, acknowledge that there are users on this thread that may not want to participate, which is why I'm reluctant to let it continue in this thread.

Oh, I see, that would be cool :D

I was wondering when that would happen.

So was I. Looks like we've finally got what we've been waiting for.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Of all these years, why are you still an Advanceshipper? What kept you in?

Aside from PokeShipping which was my first Pokémon OTP, AdvanceShipping was the one that got me into looking for fanart and research its hints via the computer. In fact it taught me to it made me look into things (looking for hints in each episode) that I really didn’t bother doing before (I was as dense as Ash) and helped me into accepting that just because Misty was the first girl Ash had ever traveled with/interact/etc. doesn’t mean he’ll be paired up with her automatically. There’s still a chance with he can be with May while with the other girls, eh…..he’s just friends so I’ll doubt he’ll go out w/ any of them after the first two. Nowadays the magic of AdvanceShipping is slowly deserting my mind and I’m not sure if I should let it go all out to move on or continue holding onto it for it won’t matter if the writers aren’t going to put shippings before the Pokémon but just support it anyways. 8S I’ll be likely to be taking the route to move on then since I don’t think every PKMN shipping I supported would ever come close to AS and I accepted that on how everything in Pokémon would be as it is. Maybe I can accept the things I’m going through and I can incorporate on how I felt around AS onto any potential OTPS…esp. if it's from My Little Pony.:p Although I do have faith in AdvanceShipping and always would I visit the AS threads to see on what’s popping to keep my support but not as much….^^;

Yeah I'm assuming those episodes may air sometime next week due to how the remaining Johto episodes were referred to as Pokemon Advanced (according to my receivers) and it can imply that AG will be aired.:D I'm glad on account of the saga itself is one of my favorites alas I'm going to miss Johto, they're not as bad as ppl put it imo.:)

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Is there anything at all that is keeping anyone from entering and if so how can I or gengar help?
2 things I suggest to change.
1) Allow any word length. If they ramble, that's their problem. If its long but perfect, props to them. 5K is WAYYYYY to short a limit anyway.
2) Be more formal. Like either a) make another thread for it or b) consistently establish who the current judges are, the current contestants, the current rules, etc.

I disagree, I think that for a one shot, 5k is the right amount. But since we disagree on this how about we go by majority? Whatever Raichu chooses then that will be the official rule.

It doesn't really matter to me, I'm a bit over 4000 words.

But of course, it's up to the judges.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

I honestly don't think it's that big of a problem, nobody will go far beyond 6k words. It's only a one shot, after all.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

I might have to think twice before I declare myself not entering. I've got a decent idea for a songfic, but I'm not sure it'll work with our current topic. I'll make a decision by tomorrow.

Everything about AdvanceShipping.
From re-watching the AG episodes, and movies; to the AS fanfics; then there are the fanarts, & AMV's. Just about everything. What's not to like about AdvanceShipping? The fact that Ash and May look so cute and perfect together is enough cause for me to remain an AdvanceShipper.
This prompts me to ask a new question.
Do you see yourself as an AdvanceShipper in the future (like 10/20 yrs from now)? Pls specify.
My answer? I don't see myself ever giving up (hopefully the same goes for all of you). AdvanceShipper for life.

I'll support the couple, but I probably won't care nearly as much.

I see no reason why I would just give up liking something for no reason so I probably will still support it.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Hey guys, everyone saw the little trailer of Dawn returning with Ash and co? And that note:

Now that we know that Dawn is going to be in Unova with Ash again, do you think May will be mention at all since Dawn is currently competing in the Hoenn Grand Festival?

Maybe, maybe not. It's hard to tell but if so, any news small or big will make this advanceshipper happy.

Now that i think about it, maybe Dawn is in Unova for Pokewood for Buneary, yes. that would make so much sense. XD

Do you see yourself as an AdvanceShipper in the future (like 10/20 years from now)? Please specify.

Well of course, i mean i probably wont write or draw them together as much as i'm doing now, but if you love something dearly you will never forget that you love them.

@ShinyGengar: Well i guess after writing for so long you have this feeling that if you get something wrong in grammar like not adding a comma here or there you just have to go back and fix it. Even when i text my friends, i hardly use slang unless i'm in a rush. Here they are typing "Hey, where r u? didnt c u all day!!!" and i'm like. "At home, sleeping."

And they say us teenagers these days can't spell properly, oh the stereotypical view of the older people in my community. >.>

Lol dominate? I think you might be using a too overpowered word there friend. XD You remind of a review i got. Well, LuciferXI got it and shared it with me. Hehe, makes me laugh every time i think about it. lol.

Everything about AdvanceShipping.
The Fan Arts, Fanfiction, AMVs, the Community members, etc; is what kept me supporting this ship.

Do you see yourself as an AdvanceShipper in the future (like 10/20 yrs from now)? Pls specify.
For sure, but most likely, I'm going to focus entirely on my Future Family as well as the job that I will be getting. But I'll still check from time to time, just not contribute as much as now. And since the newer generation kids don't know what AdvanceShipping is, then Its up to us older fans to keep this Shipping alive for many years to come until the writers decide to make this Shipping Canon (just have faith It will happen).

Now that we know that Dawn is going to be in Unova with Ash again, do you think May will be mention at all since Dawn is currently competing in the Hoenn Grand Festival?
I hope so. Its been a while since we heard from May. If we end up getting another Hint, then we shall post here! :D
Right now, I'm watching Best Wishes (currently on Saving Darmanitan From the Bell! as of this reply).

I'd be about 26 or 27 then... I probably won't be as active in the community by then (As sad as that is to say). Advanceshipping will always always be a good memory though, like how my parents talk about old cartoons they used to watch.

But then again, maybe I'll surprise myself, and still be active... slim chance though.

Now that we know that Dawn is going to be in Unova with Ash again, do you think May will be mention at all since Dawn is currently competing in the Hoenn Grand Festival?

Probably not. May is probably still in Johto or went off to Sinnoh. :/

I know for sure that I'll be active on this forum as long as there are Pokemon games coming out. And Pokemon's not ending in the near future. If you think it is ending any time soon, then sorry, but I think you're an idiot who doesn't understand market and business. So I'm certain I'll still be here.

Actually,I had been quit from advanceshipper about months then came back.But something get me back for some reason.
One day,I had nothing to do so I search in google for advanceshipping then I realize how cute and wonderful they were so I decide to come back and watch for more advanceshipping xD

So I think that it because of my heart is full of interested in advanceshipping and can't quit being an advanceshipper.

Do you see yourself as an AdvanceShipper in the future (like 10/20 yrs from now)? Pls specify.

Everything can change.I'm not sure that I gonna stay like this for my entire life but as long as there's still a hope. I'll not give up.
I just hope that my child would do the same.(Support advanceshipping). Just hope that Pokemon still on going and more hints for advanceshipping for sure!

All I can do now is hope,support my favourite pairing as much as I can and that is writing a fiction(The only thing I can do)
4-5 years had passed but I'm still an advanceshipper so I guess I won't back down even I am adult!

So that mean.. I'll probably be about 25 or 26 then.. (I'm a teenager but my brain might not change xD)


Now that we know that Dawn is going to be in Unova with Ash again, do you think May will be mention at all since Dawn is currently competing in the Hoenn Grand Festival?


There is chance but not much because as almost(or all) of us know.A gift from May did mention in first episode of Black and White so didn't it suspicious?(Maybe that's all things Ash got from sinnoh but whatever..)

Since Dawn doing contest in Hoenn,I doubt that she might meet Norman or Caroline at least or probably Max and since she know a bit about May's family and also she called May,Princess of Hoenn.There must be something that make her interest and went to Hoenn I think.


This might be out of topic but.. Ash should grow up by now I think.. Not 10 years old boy forever because.. that kinda annoy me.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Judging by the fact that in twenty years I'll be thirty-seven, I'll probably have better things to do. I guess I'll keep up with it, but I won't care nearly as much.

New topic.

If you do write Advanceshipping fanfiction, are there any movies that you take inspiration from?

I love the Dark Knight movie, so I try to make my stories a lot darker than most shipping fics and make them seem hopeless, much like the Dark Knight. I'll also admit that Heath Ledger's Joker practically inspired Team Universal's leader. I think I'll even throw in some Dark Knight quotes.
