Opinions on shipping in Pokemon?

The worst part about the X/Y kiss is how onesided it was.
Pokemon will only tease at best because it gets what is essentially a hard reboot every 3-5 years.

Shipping is cancer and has no place in Pokemon, both the game and anime.

that is a pretty good ship,not gonna lie

>>33448186
You're one of them! No... Pikachu x Ketchup will always prevail!

Light teasing is ok here and there, but hard and fast shipping is godawful almost everywhere that isn't a romance genre.

its best to just give up the anime, it wont ever get anywhere important so its a waste of animation. he'll never win a league, never get much stronger than he already is, never settle down with any girl because hes a kid that doesnt get how love works

Referring to romance angles in a show or a game as "shipping" is awfully autistic and obsessing over pairings that don't even exist in the show/game is even worse.

Big mistake

>>33447939
Shipping is cancer no matter what fandom you're in.

It's hard for me to get too invested in shipping, since it's a kid's show with a revolving door of female sidekicks.
If anyone really thinks Serena is endgame and she's the last love interest Ash will ever have, they're in for a rude awakening eventually.

This.

Pokemon is not "shipping their characters", Pokemon had a romance subplot. Stop talking like a retard and using dumb buzzwords about everything.

Trips speak true

It is so disappointing watching grown man fantasize 2 underage kids having a relationship. I hate shipping.
