Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Yeah, I could see it now...

???: Mrs Ketchum! You cook so well! Ash is SO lucky to have you as a mom!

Delia: *blushes* Thank you, you can come over ANY time! I'm sure Ash would be thrilled to see you...So would I

???: Wow thanks!

Ash: Mom, I'm home

Delia: Ash! I'm happy to see you! Your girlfriend came over to see you as well

Ash: Thanks mom! wait..Girlfriend?

Delia: May of course!

May + Ash: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?

..xD

I'd give the wirters a piece of candy if that were to happen, but I could actually see Delia doing something like that. She probably likes seeing Ash and May together judging by that screenshot.

Going by memory, Delia thought "Ash has such nice friends!"

Mama Ketchum knows a good, natural couple when she sees one.

We all know it's true. ;)

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Haha, mothers ALWAYS know =3

And mothers ship who ever they see fit with their child...

Delia is an AdvanceShipper! Huzzah!

Caroline is as well isn't she?-I don't know, my memory is a bit fuzzy from the Advanced Generation....Which means only one thing- time to relive the Advanceshipping era! xD

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

^ Im not really sure about Caroline. In one episode she was pushing May to get with Drew after he gave her a rose.

But Norman would be all for it. I think

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Yeah Norman probably prefers trainers to Coordinators being a gym leader himself... and Ash is the "chosen one". I'm sure that stands for something in the pokemon world.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Being trainer or a co-ordinator wouldn't matter to him. But he has a lot of respect for Ash since Ash beat him and even before that, Norman trusted Ash.

@ lunar lucario
Numbers don't always win battles (as the US military has proven on mulitiple occasions.) However, better training helps alot, and Ash DIFINATLY has the atvantage there.:-D:-D

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

yeah, I'm pretty sure Norman would like Ash with May. He'll DEFINITELY approve, plus Max also respects Ash =P

And it's always good to have a Guy's mom and a Girls dad on your side XDD

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

He might like Drew. We may never know.

But I don't like to talk about Drew so much in the Advancehsipping thread. So, new topic anyone?

EDIT: I have a topic. Not really a topic but something.

http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=71914

That leads to Takeshi Shudo's blogs, former head writer of the anime.

There he mentions tha Ash and Misty were always meant to be good friends and nothing more. So Pokéshipping and by extension, all other main character ships will never become canon since thats not the focus of the anime.

So is the fact that no shipping will ever become canon a good thing or a bad thing. It can be considered a good thing because the fans can be content knowing that who each character ends up with will never be decided and so they can fill in their own versions of what will happen.
It can be considered a bad thing because many will be disappointed that a pairing didn't become canon and that the debates will continue without end.

Personally, I think of it as sort of a good thing. I am disappointed to know that Ash and May will not get together by the story's end but pleased that no other shipping will come true either leaving endless possibilities.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Well, I find it wise how there would be no real canon couple. The Pokemon fandom is quite insane when it comes to shipping, so yeah. My belief in AdvanceShipping is further strengthened, since it's another hint that the anime doesn't support love-hate relationships =3

As a for a new topic, how about...

How do you imagine Ash and May's wedding?

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Well, after seeing those blog entries, I was relieved that no shipping would happen. Just think of all the dissappointment and shipping wars there would be. But who knows. If the show ever has an epilogue, then it's possible some ships will become canon.

How do you imagine Ash and May's wedding?

I'll answer it a bit later. I need a little time to gather my thoughts...

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

I think it is a good thing that none of the ships will become canon, basically because no matter what you do a portion of your fans would be disappointed and the main goal of the anime was to you know entertain people not disappoint them. I do like the subtle hints that they drop though, those provide us advanceshippers(and shippers in general) with happiness. Okay now the topic...

How do you imagine Ash and May's wedding

Well I think it would be in Pallet Town, maybe. It would be only their closest friends. Max would be the ringbear and the flower girl would be Glaceon. I imagine it would be a very happy event with lots of ribbons and flowers. Norman would get some fireworks for the reception, which would be an amazing reception with a chocolate cake and lots of dancing. And uh...that's it, hehehe.
