Talk:List of major manga ships

This talk page is for discussions about the contents of List of major manga ships.

Notice

The Shipping section of Bulbapedia underwent a large overhaul as discussed by the Leadership Board, primarily due to the largely speculative nature of the entire section. For future content regarding Shipping we are encouraging people to head to the Shippers' Paradise subforum to discuss and share with others.

The eligibility criteria for getting a section on this page was determined by a three-point system, with the occasional LB exception:

1. A main character must be involved
2. All characters involved must be at least recurring characters
3. There must be a clear display of affection (kiss or equivalent between them), OR the notion of one or both characters being attracted to the other must be explicitly shown or discussed, OR the notion of the two characters being a couple must be explicitly brought up (including as a joke/tease and as a disguise) in at least one version of the Pokémon franchise (including dubs).

Crystal x Eusine

Why is that ship doing there? I literally saw nobody shipping that + it looks p3do, definitely not a great ship to add on bulbapedia Personally I think Crystal x Gold, Crystal x Yellow or even Crystal x Silver are better options Lauralegal (talk) 20:08, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

• Yeah, I agree, that's a weird ship to put in there compared to any other protag ship. I'd very much like to remove it. Eeveelutionred (talk) 05:53, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

LGB+ Shipping?

I've noticed that there are little to no ships that aren't het. My suggestion would be to add something along the lines of Gold x Silver

green x silver

considering one of the rules is "they have to seem attracted to eachother", chosenshipping doesnt make sense being on here, no? silver calls her his big sister in both jp and english. i dont believe silver saying she would look pretty is should be considered any kind of ship tease after that, i believe its just a normal compliment. if anything were to replace it, gold x crystal would make more sense to be on here based on their canon interactions.

I'm inclined to agree, if the text indicates that they see each other as siblings so it seems weird to suggest that there's any romantic feelings there. Plus, in my experiences with the Pokéspe fandom, the overwhelming majority of people interpret their relationship as sibling-like, so I wouldn't consider it a major ship in the fandom either.

for sure. if any of it is based around silver blushing in a page with green, i find that silly because he also blushes in a page with crystal. i don't believe it indicates anything romantic, i believe he was just embarrassed considering green was seeing his face for the first time. if we use that logic, any character blushing around another would mean something romantic — which in that case means that gold x silver would also have to be considered. shipping pages are definitely a hot topic though i believe they should be based more on pure canon info than implications due to the trouble any misunderstood implications could cause :p.
