Dump qustion

Is caild shiping when it's none Pokemon? Like Lufy and Nami from One Peace--Cerberus 23:41, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, shipping is pretty much a universal term that is not exclusive to Pokémon. --PAK Man ^Talk 02:21, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks.--Cerberus 18:37, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, like Inuyusha and Kagome. (no, I don't watch that show, I just heard about them.--Starlight_the_ampharos 20:52, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Link

Does any one else think that on the Characters page (for example, on Mistys page include a link to Pokeshipping)?--DarthCookieMonster 00:56, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

No, no. Shippings are just (highly agreed on) fan assumptions, such as GSDS or that Ash is gonna catch a Hippopotas. --Theryguy512 01:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Why not? It makes sense, since there is plenty of speculation already, why not at least offer a link to the appropriate shippy section? Also, is there an article that lists all ships described on Bulbapedia? 'Cause I think that might be appropriate here. (Where's altoshipping on this "favorites" list? *pout*) NonaSuomi 21:09, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

For the sake of having a comprehensive wiki, I'm thinking that compiling a list of all 'ships' might not be a bad idea. -- BCJ(talk) 09:04, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Gay Shipping

Can We take down all the Gay Shippings like palletShipping, Even with the warning, It just isn't right.--Quick Man 21:18, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Why?????????!!!!!! Are you against homosexuality? sigh, such prejudice in the world. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH HOMOSEXUALITY•Pokemaniac102 21:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

1. No.
2. There's nothing wrong with being gay or lesbian. Besides, just because there's a shipping doesn't mean that people think they're banging each other in secret. Brock and Ash are great friends. That's a relationship, is it not? TTEchidna 02:26, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, most people think that being lesb/gay is ethically wrong. But wrong/right is a matter of opinion. I, myself, think that homosexuality is wrong, but then again, one must look at the big picture. So, please, show some respect to each other. Posted by the Θρtιmαtum♏^Talk|Links10:00 23 May 2008

I would challenge that first claim (at least for the West) but let's not get into a political debate. Bulbagarden actually has a longer history of accepting these. --FabuVinny ^{|Talk Page|} 11:14, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Whether or not people consider right or wrong, it should still be allowed on the site. This is a Pokémon encyclopedia after all. If shipping in general is part of this encyclopedia, then homosexual ships should be included as well to make the site as complete as it can be. Just because some people find it offensive is no reason to remove it (though it does happen...). Some people find shipping in general to be offensive, while some disagree with having spoilers of things that have only been shown in Japan at the time. These aren't going to be removed, so why should this? - unsigned comment from Hyper Turtwig (talk • contribs)

Keep them up. Weather you thing Homosexuality is wrong or right, it doesn't matter, some people do some people don't. I can't actually stand people who are always against homosexuality and are always like "yeah its wrong blah blah blah" (being Bi-sexual and having a girlfriend myself...). As for you saying "it just isn't right"...Love is love, regardless of gender (: *totally stole that quote from a friend btw* Takoto タコト| サソデイ = 愛 15:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I see no reason why homosexual shipping should be removed. Bulbapedia is supposed to have a neutral POV. One's beliefs on what is right or wrong should have no bearing on the deletion of RELEVANT and LEGITIMATE articles. I agree with Hyper Turtwig, if some find shipping in general to be offensive, why should one class of shipping be removed but the rest spared?Draconium 23:50, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Um, I actually think the original poster was insinuating upon that he doesn't think odd pairings between members of the same sex is right, aka May and Dawn (simply because people think they would look "cute" together), Ash and Gary (as they are pretty much rivals), and others related to those. - JWhitt 09:20, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

In regards to adding articles

While I'm definately not immersed in the shipping scene, I do notice a few trends that don't have articles yet, like Ash's Chikorita/Bayleef having her obsession over Ash, it's probably as significant as the Latias one. The side of me that likes to add articles started kicking in, but really, what does one do, just make an article and make up a name for the shipping? Or is there some accepted name for how these shipping things turn out, or what? @_@ Toastypk 22:33, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

We has a list; we likes to use it. Ash/Chikorita is Chikoshipping, and Ash/Bayleef is Bodyslamshipping. If the side that kicks you into making articles exist, be our guest. ArcToraphim 14:23, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

relationship

relationship did not must be romantic.

we all there have a relationship, because we all post on this page.

so it will be better to delete the word romantic if is not 100% clear.

--Hanmac

i don't have relationship.

u need better grammar.

i cannot understand what you are writing, you are not clear. Θρtιmαtum♏_Talk|Links10:54 22 Aug 2008

What about Brock and May Shipping.

When Brock returned to the cast, May was quick to drag him around like a new boy toyYami 22:09, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

We have that. It's called ShoppingShipping. --ケンジのガール 22:10, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Order of the list of popular ships

I know this is a petty thing, but I really think it would be better alphabetically listed, as popularity can be subject to opinion. The Dark Fiddler - Nos hablamos? 22:43, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Ditto. UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 22:58, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

That's true...but how are the ships on the page decided?--KK Happy new year! 22:59, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

That is indeed an issue, but we should take it one step at a time, and put the list in alphabetical order until we can figure out what makes a ship be allowed on the list. The Dark Fiddler - Nos hablamos? 23:31, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

That's fair. I just hope PokéShippers don't freak out that it's not at the top of the list. Personally, I don't think Ikari, Orange, and AppealShipping should be on the list. They're not as popular as the others. --ケンジのガール 23:37, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, since 3 people hardly counts as consensus, I will wait a bit more before I change it back, to see if anyone complains (for whatever reason) The Dark Fiddler - Nos hablamos? 23:47, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

What about Brock and Dawn Shipping.

Is it just me, or should there be a shipping for Dawn and Brock? I mean there is a shipping for Brock and May ShoppingShipping and there is a shipping for Brock and Misty GymShipping. So why not one for Dawn and Brock? - Alexa9966

Go ask the Shipping experts, not here. There probably is one. --ケンジのガール 22:55, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Says Template:S that it's LightrockShipping.--freezingCOLD _{(page, talk)} 22:55, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

PalletShipping

Does anyone else think that Palletshipping shouldn't be up on the popular shipping list? I think that no one even supports this shipping anymore because Gary is hardly in the anime anymore. - Alexa9966

That's like saying no one supports Pokéshipping anymore because Misty isn't around (and you know that isn't true) and should be removed from that list too. Palletshipping: stil priddy dam popular. Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 15:04, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, but what's popular to one person might not be to another. For example, subconciously, I want to think that no one supports gay ships because I was brought up to believe that homosexuality is wrong (though I now agree with what Seinfeld has to say on the matter).--Totodilesentret!^{Talk to me.} 21:10, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

LuckShipping

I feel that this should not be under the most popular shipping page. There isn't many fanart, videos, or fanfictions about it. So I don't see a reason for it to still be on. - Alexa9966

ArcToraphim says there needs to be at least one Brock ship up there. And according her, it's the most popular Brock ship. If we defined popularity as a whole, then there would probably be only Ash ships up their. I believe ArcToraphim's idea was to try to make a blended character list. --ケンジのガール 04:06, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
