Game:

N x Touko/Hilda (Ferriswheelshipping)
Lillie x Mizuki/Moon (Mostly in SM because USUM's story sucks lol)
Silver x Kotone/Lyra (Soulsilvershipping)
Silver x Kris (Redemptionshipping - for retro nostalgia)
Mitsuru/Wally x Haruka/May (cute blushing!)
Zinnia/Higana x Haruka/May
Gloria x Bede
Serena x Emma/Matiere (maybe Serena can share her bottomless wardrobe with the poor homeless girl who is dressed in rags)

Volkner/Denzi x Flint/Oba
Archie/Aogiri x Shelly/Izumi
Lusamine x Mohn (sad story :cry:)

Spin-off games:

Grovyle x Celebi (PMD2 - cried at the end)
Gengar x Gardevoir (PMD - mostly platonic for... reasons)
Protagonist x Partner (PMD2 - also platonic for reasons lol)
Virizion x Emolga (Gates to infinity - pretty funny ship that is actually somewhat canon)

It's hard to ship silent self-insert protagonists so I just ship them with my favorite characters. :p I wish BW1 had actual dialogue options.

Anime:

Satoshi x Serena (Amourshipping)
Satoshi x Hikari (Pearlshipping)
Satoshi x Kasumi (Pokeshipping)
Musashi x Koujiro (Rocketshipping)
Pikachu x Buneary (cute!)
Pikachu x Piplup (lol)
Ai/Amber x Mewtwo (platonic of course)

Manga:

Silver x Blue (Chosenshipping)
Akari x Akira (How I became a Pokémon card - rare ship with a canon transgender character!)
Ruby x Sapphire (for some reason I liked it better when it wasn't canon...)
 
I once wrote a trilogy of Blue x Red fluff stories lol. I used to ship them so hard, though that's waned a bit in recent years. These days, I am all about SlumberingWealdShipping (Victor x Hop x Victor) and [everyone] x Hau because Sunshine Boy deserves love lol.
 
I'm not an active shipper or anything, but the two pairs that I would be most interested in seeing are Jessie x James (I love them so much!!) and Drew x May. both fit each other so well imo, and May's rivarly/connection with Drew was especially well written in that her story didn't just revolve around a love interest. she had her own goals and worked hard to achieve them, and strengthened her bond with Drew along the way. it was very well done ✿♥‿♥✿
 
I don't usually ship characters, but I made an exception for N and Hilbert (IsshuShipping) when I played White. I mean, N pretty much takes your player character on a ferris wheel date. From then on I started imagining that he had romantic feelings for my character, which helped make the game's story all the more memorable and meaningful. It was so sad seeing N pining for his missing friend/lover in White 2, and being unable to do anything about it because I wasn't playing as the same character anymore.

Doing my periodic every few years drop in to see where the Eldershippers (Professor Oak/Delia Ketchum) are... we are the oldest of school.

I spent COVID time with the "new" (Sun/Moon/Journeys) Pokemon and fell out of my chair to see that those two were still at it after all these years. (I screamed when she hopped in the Professor's car at the beginning of Journeys and he let her with no problem.) So that sent me to the original episodes to remind myself how we got there. Good times and I love them.
