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)

Link

Does any one else think that on the Characters page (for example, on Mistys page include a link to Pokeshipping)?--336Darth157Cookie168Monster141 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)

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 (Template:P2). 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 (talkcontribs)

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)

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)

Sigh...

You guys have to much time on your hands to think about relationships on people who aren't real.

Go read a book! Rpp 20:48, 12 June 2008 (UTC)Rpp
