How content are you with the amount of shipping in D/P so far?

[Cybersai]

Do you think the D/P series has had a content amount of shipping for you? Obviously Pikachu/Buneary shippers are VERY happy, but what about everyone else?

For whatever ships you support, does the D/P series satisfy your thirst for cartoon character pairings?

It seems like most of the shipping anymore comes direct from the animation. I always enjoyed the little dub hints in combination with the animation, because it gave a nice little piece of variety, and made things more fun in a 'well do they really mean that' sort of way.

Although as a complete Rocketshipper, I want a piece of something now and again. I am glad for what seems like a major return of the fear hug, however.

The only ship I'm wanting in D/P so far is Appealshipping. We've gotten a few little moments of it, so I'm pretty happy.

But overall..there doesn't seem to be much shippiness in D/P. I mean.. yeah it's still new, but still. Maybe I just miss Contestshipping too much, but meh.

Can't a series still be a good series w/out alot of shipping hints? Not saying shipping is bad but I don't think DP will be that shippy but still be worth watching.

I know the writers were stuggling when they didn't want to create another Drew character and didn't want endanger pokeshipping.

'endanger' pokeshipping? It's practically dead. I mean, I could see maybe in some of the Kanto episodes, but didn't Misty like, totally ignore Ash when she could've been like, all over him? It was basically that lure scene, and like...nothing else.

I personally think that Misty liked him, but she doesn't anymore (she gave up on him for whatever reason) and is now just getting back to her habitual life as a water pokemon trainer. I think she's mostly a done character, except for a cameo here and there.

And, as for D/P shipping.....I'd like to see any palletshipping whatsoever. And Appealshipping, too, because I really like it and stuffs. I'm happy with the amount of Appealshipping, but there could be more. And there could be way more palletshipping. Really. AG kinda made me go crazy because Gary...kinda....fell off of the face of the earth.

...although I kinda like Kouhei as an alternative to Zoey, as far as Dawn pairings go. He's so creepy and made of lulz. And it was funny when Dawn scared him too. x:

AND HARLEY TOTALLY NEEDS TO RETURN AND SEDUCE BROCK, WHO EVENTUALLY GIVES UP ON WOMEN AND DECIDES TO SEDUCE BROCK FOR THE LULZ OF IT. *shot*

I don't care about the canon, so I'm plenty satisfied with the cute moments and interactions the characters I ship in D/P have, the only exception being only Zoey and Paul (gotta loooove againstshipping!), since they haven't met yet.

pixie stix of doom do you mind PrivateMessageing me so I can talk to you personally. Don't worry I'am not going to flame you.

 

[AnimeDutchess]

hm...i'd say, some more Palletshipping for me. some random, nonsensical Ikari would be good too, but after the latest episode, i doubt it'll be canon. >.<

damn, and the japanese fanart is so cute, too...

You know what I take back what I've said endangering pokeshipping can be "good" for pokeshipping like with orangeshipping did in the hoso. Read my debate in the orangshippingvspokeshipping debate thread and you'll see what I mean.

Edit: yes no one is starving for romance in the anime like Scott said LOL. BTW stop hoping I will go away because I'm not going to.

The only ship that I look out for regularly is Rocketshipping, and there really hasn't been anything noteworthy so far. Some cute moments here and there, but nothing straight-up shippy.
