Although any selection of characters can be shipped, there are multiple shipping archetypes that are more common than others within the Pokémon fandom. These will generally include the main characters, mostly due to their abundant screen time and the resulting chance for interactions between individual characters. The most popular of these in the anime is usually between {{Ash}} and his [[Ash's friends|female traveling companion]] of the series; other popular pairings include the main characters as well as their respective [[rival]]s.
