Back in the early/mid AG era, Advanceshipping rivaled Pokeshipping in popularity. Back then May was the first new female companion and we had no idea we'd get new ones every gen, so people who were bored of Pokeshipping or never liked it went over to Advanceshipping.

It's only now after Dawn, Serena, etc. exist that looking back on it now you won't know how popular it once was.

>>31181569
You could look through the archives of serebii and bulbagarden forums from 2005, there are still threads up from a decade ago where there were Pokeshipping Vs. Advanceshipping debates and Advance Vs. Contest.

I know this because I sadly took part in all of them. You could even read my old posts in those threads from a decade ago.

Yes you did, Scott. You honestly thought Advance would happed even after Drew and you threw a tantrum when May left

>>31181792
The old pokeshipper debates were nightmare fuel. Back in the early 2000's they were vicious rabids because at the time they seriously believed Misty would come back. The reason they have the reputation they have today is because of those old debates. I think I was emotionally traumatized by them.

Oh well, its all in the past now. Seeing Amour confirmed canon makes me very happy.

What does it matter to you since it's not like the future canonization of Amour is going to have any direct impact on the show itself in the years to come? It's all going to happen off-screen. Amourfags can be happy with the outcome, while life as usual goes on in the show. It's an outcome that is respectful of all people who watch (except hardcore shipperfags who ship something besides Amour, and even then it's not like the opinions of those relatively few whiny autists on the internet really matter).

>>31183685
doesn't really matter imo, it's been obvious forever that he's been shitting the thread up without a trip for years, probably because of how much shit he got from everyone for being a retard which caused him to "quit" /padt/.

Either that, or you're sperging about people discussing shows you didn't watch.

>>31184186
I watched XY up until Korrina, thrn Gurkin oissed me off so much that I watched on and off, picking specific episodes up to XYZ, when it started getting good,then stopping at the league because it was shit.

Even then the romance in XY wasn't particularly unbearable, never being the focus of episodes, limited to gags. It might have driven plots at times, but it wasn't shoved in my face with mushy dialogue and lovestruck characters shitting up the screen.

Not like Cardcaptor Sakura, which for epme ends when she caotures the last card,

For the record, I don't like it because if it's even slightly ambiguous then you get our fanbase. If they want to put in relationships, make it absolutely clear to everyone or otherwise save it for the doujins.

>>31184362
I like the first arc. It's when Shaoran and Sakura's love becomes the main focus that I lose interest. That's not the only factor though, Eriol is a dick and never gets called out for it, all these people we kept magic a secret from are suddenly magic and the comfy slice of life adventures from cardcapting are no more.

you just jelly he got to bang the hot ginger teacher

>>31184417
But the only pairing anyone here were ever actually serious about was Ash/Serena, which wasn't ambiguous.
Who cares what spergs on tumblr or bulbapedo bitch about?

>>31184350
When will that happen?

>>31184262
At least you acknowledge the role it played in the show. God knows how many idiots and shitposters we've had who insist it Serena's crush was just meant as some cheap gimmick.

>>31184468
Not clear enough. At best, it comes off as a one-sided crush, and given that Ash is denser than a gravitational singularity I'm sure he still doesn't understand what she was trying to convey.

>>31184520
It's ambiguous in that there's no proof the relationship is mutual. Notice that Ash didn't kiss her back.

>>31184523
Hopefully sooner rather than later, but I think he's too busy with subbing SM and Volcanion to put that together at the moment.

I'm ok with this

Yajima, Tomioka, Omode and Matsui all endgame Amour. I bet even the animators like Iwane and the others do too. What a time to be alive.

>>31184571
It's possible to be kissed and not kiss back, genius. All it shows is that Serena has the hots for Ash- not that the other way around is true too.

>>31184571
I think that's going to be the new bait of choice, anon: just pretending the interview doesn't exist and running with it.

>>31184683
Ash didn't expect it, what did you think he was going to do? For his first kiss, it was well done. He didn't pull away in disgust or embarrassment, and Yajima said in the interview he was "awestruck."

>>31184713
Not that anon, but I believe the word was dazed, not awestruck.

>>31184732
They're pretty synonymous, anon. Besides, the word "dazed" was likely just one possible choice of many made by whoever translated that text.

>>31184732

Don't get me wrong, I like Amour but the fact we're not likely to see Serena again in a series that could easily go on for another 20 years, I find it hard to believe they stick to Serena as Ash's ONE AND ONLY love interest in that potential period of time.

>>31186302

>that could easily go on for another 20 years, I find it hard to believe they stick to Serena as Ash's ONE AND ONLY love interest in that potential period of time.

It dind't happen before XY that was like 17 years of show

>>31186232
>conveniently forgotten
Doesn't matter if it's "forgotten." The director wrote the scene with a specific message in mind, and it happened. Just because it may never be brought up again doesn't render it null and void. Besides, the fact that things from older series aren't brought up is mainly to avoid confusing new viewers, not because the previous stuff in the show is suddenly wiped clean.

>>31186302
It's in theory possible they could try another romance subplot with another girl 20 years later or whatever, but as long as the staff remain mostly the same, it simply won't happen. This isn't one of those things you can simply repeat the way you can with Ash losing league after league.

>>31186368
I'm not saying they're bastardizing OS, I'm saying that someone saying "Serena and Ash is a thing" (which I've been away for a bit so I haven't actually seen a source on) means jack squat since Serena will either A) Show up for an episode or two as previous girls often do or B) Never show up again.

Yajima more or less confirmed in the interview that old shit not getting brought up in XY wasn't even intentional.

>>31186407
They had to make a conscience decision not to give Iris a cameo though. Up to that point the previous girl coming back for a cameo was a guarantee, and Omode wrote for BW too, so throughout the entire span of XY, the concept of Iris returning must have either been shot down or never been brought up.

>>31186130
IT does matter:)

>>31186439
No one cares about Iris.

>>31186439
I think it was just another "oh shit we forgot to do that, didn't we" moment, just like with Oak.

No other character will so why not confirm Ash's endgame now? Everything you say can be applied to your supposed other love interest character tha will appear in 20 years

I heard there's another interview coming up next. Is that true?

>>31186302
No other girl loves Ash except Serena.

>>31186487
He has no endgame. That would suggest it ends at some point before its cancellation.

>>31186488
Nobody has provided a source.

>>31186488
There's no evidence of that. Someone said there would be another interview coming out in March, but they didn't provide a source to back that up.

Unless it's confirmed, just treat it as bunk.

>>31186439
Yajima was new and I guess the producers and writers never suggested her return so everyone just forgot about her

>>31186488
Adamant de-confirmed it.

>>31186487
>Everything you say can be applied to your supposed other love interest character tha will appear in 20 years
That's exactly my point though. Pokegirls have never been a solid thing in the anime outside of a tiny amount of time in OS when they thought they were gonna ditch Ash after it was over.

"Endgame" means that there's an end and that they're going to be together. One of those things is certainly never happening, and the other one possibly could but will most likely never happen because of [current gen girl] shipping.

I wish Tomioka would give us an interview of the behind the scenes time when he took over from Shudo towards the end of Johto, and all the changes and decisions he made during AG and DP.

>>31186526
No, he said he hadn't confirmed there'd be one.

>>31186171
Oh ffs. Does it even matter? In the end, it's the people from Nintendo, Game Freak and Creature that ultimately decides the end-game for the anime. They're the ones that hold the license to the entire Pokemon franchise, so they're the ones that ultimately decide who Ash ends up with, if he ends up with anyone at all. So all this talk about directors, producers and writers is just a waste of time. So can we all just drop this shipping bullshit and talk about the goddamn anime already?

>>31186527
but no other girl has been said to be Ash's endgame like Serena, right? and the idea came from a guy that has worked with the show since the start so even if the show ends with no time skip or anything we can assume Ash gets with Serena because at least people on the show said that

>>31186517
>Yajima was new

>>31186541

>Oh ffs
You have to go back.

Also, this isn't something "the people from Nintendo, Game Freak and Creature" would care much about, and if they did, they'd have already have agreed on it considering Serena as already set up as endgame.

>>31186565
He knew it was irrelevant because there will never be an endgame and that the few people who care will stop watching because they get actual jobs

You mean the delusional headcanon/fantasies of people watching the show? You're seriously acting like the writers won't let Serena be Ash's endgame because each generation's main girl gets shipped with Ash by 100,000 rabid shipperfags on the internet?

Please. Serena is the only girl to date who has ahd a romance subplot with Ash, and the way it ended seems pretty clear-cut and was subsequently confirmed by the director.

>>31186594
Wake me up if there's a serious romance subplot that's done again in this show. And again, it's not something you can repeat the way you can with Ash's league defeats.

>>31186551
>Nintendo, Game Freak and Creature...decide who Ash ends up with
No, they don't. They only care that the right things from the game are marketed. They don't give a shit about whether Ash gets a girlfriend. All that stuff is left to the anime writers.

>>31186618
Until they have another girl also kiss ash and then make ambiguous statements about what it means which they can't back up.

>>31186571
>He's worked on the show since BW1
Did I say otherwise? Mostly of the staff is old so working since BW like him and Omode is being new

>>31186615
