C/P time once again!
All the ships here are what I have as my list back at SPPF - it is ages old now. However, I think I still like the ships I have still, and in the same way - not much has changed since I last made a shipping list.
***** = Supporter to the brink of obsession
**** = Hella' like it
*** = Support it, but not enough to search for fanservice for it
** = Eh....kinda
* = Wait a minute, I support this?
Pokeshipping (Ash X Misty) (*****) : Anyone who even remotely knows me should kno
w how much I like this ship. The first ship I supported and even realized could exist, I have searched high and low within the old episodes for any inclination of a hint of SatoKasu. When I got back into the fandom about 2 years ago, I did give up on the shipping when I saw Ash traveling with May. But, when I did some research, and saw the open-ended ness Gotta Catch Ya' Later had, I went right back to this shipping, thinking it still has some potential for hints to crop up. No, I'm not giving up on this shipping!
Advanceshipping (****) : During my hiatus from the fandom, the only glimpses from the anime I had seen were the Pokemon movies; Movie 6 in particular. Back when I thought that every anime had to have at least one pairing become canon, I automatically assumed that SatoHaru would have to become canon; May's wish pendant further confirmed my assumptions. However, upon seeing Gotta Catch Ya Later and thinking that it was pretty open-ended, I pulled a 180 and instantly became an anti-Advanceshipper, and avoided anything SatoHaru related. Nowadays, I have mellowed out, and have gone back to reading the Advanceshipping fics, which, admittedly, are the better made and planned out, on average, of all of the other shipping fics. And I particularly enjoyed Ash's and May's moment under the moon at the Wallace Cup.
....However, I have yet to see "The Bicker the Better"....
MorpheusShipping (****) : The first alternate Ash shipping to Pokeshipping I supported since my fierce anti-shipper days. I guess it's because Ash and Angie acted the same way Ash and Misty did back in Kanto. Sure, there really is no promise for this ship I still like it XD
Contestshipping (***) : Originally supporting this for the sake of defending Pokeshipping, I realized that this ship actually had some hints to go with it, that eventually became stronger as the Battle Frontier ended. Brianna, the Grand Festival, post-Grand Festival, it is all there. But I cringe when I see a Contestshipping fic; I just can't get sucked into them like I can with Pokeshipping. Maybe it's because they are usually the same generic plot :/
Handymanshipping (***) : The same applies with Contestshipping, with the difference being that I really got into the ship. I like the typical popular blond X kind-hearted guy pairings, and this is no exception. There need to be more Handymanshipping fics.
Penguinshipping/Cavaliershipping/HeatTagshipping/Ikarishipping/Twinleafshipping/pretty much any Dawn ship that isn't Pearl (**) : Eh, I really don't like Dawn that much; sure, she's a good character, but I see her as May 2.0, despite the differences. That said, I really can't get into the Dawn shippings that much, but I do see the hints that each ship has, and I like them.
Rocketshipping (**) : Same applies to the Dawn ships: TR are great characters, I just don't get sucked into them, and the same applies to the ship.
Luckshipping/Breedershipping (**) : Hey, Brock needs to have someone. Might as well have the girls that in my opinion, had the best interaction with him.
Novelshipping (*) : For those that don't know, Novelshipping is Paul X Misty (where they got the name, I have no idea...). Cold hearted guy with the fiercely independent girl, that's a no brainer for me. Though I will stand for Pokeshipping, I would find it very amusing if she went off Ash's arch-rival.
Cookieshipping (*) : Ho ho, YES. May's and Harley's character interactions are just awesome and humorous, and like this shipping for those reasons. I wouldn't go so far as ship it for romantic reasons, but the interactions.....the interactions, man....
