Is it just me, or should there be a shipping for Dawn and Brock? I mean there is a shipping for Brock and May [[ShoppingShipping]] and there is a shipping for Brock and Misty [[GymShipping]]. So why not one for Dawn and Brock? - [[User:Alexa9966|Alexa9966]]

should we mention that some culture definations of what's considered shippy is little different. I know that in some cultures(like in some middle eastern ones, and chinese), supposedly close friends also hold hands. in most latin american countries, some african countries, spain, and france friends greet each other with hugs and a kiss on the check. in amercian, friends hug each other.

:Not really. Any romantic gestures will be either universal or Japanese in origin. And for the most part, the hints themselves are subjective between friendship and romantic.

I know this is weird but seeing their is a ship for Ash and PIkachu and Dawn and Piplup, also Brock and Croagunk, Don't you think their should be a Shipping of May and Blaziken or Misty and Togepi? [[User:Emeraldben|Emeraldben]] 20:52, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

:Those ships do exist. ContuckyFriedShipping and AllgrownupShipping (with Togetic), respectively. The thing is no one had made articles about them. But the reason is probably because they lack evidence. Misty and Togetic is more of a mother-child relationship while May and Blaziken don't have as much interaction as the ones you mentioned before.

Shouldn't we put this ship in the more popular anime ships section? i mean, from what i've heard its become a pretty dang popular ship comparable to PearlShipping, or perhaps, its more popular.[[User:TyphlosionTrent|TyphlosionTrent]] 10:50, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

:"Some popular anime ships include:" Keyword is "some". It's a short list. Short lists don't need every popular example to make its point, or else it wouldn't be short (and would then include Comashipping, Cafemochashipping, SapphirePearlshipping, and a number of others that include Ikarishipping). Never mind that Dawn's already in two examples on the list. What does Ikarishipping bring that's different to the rest?

::I see your point on Dawn already having a couple examples, but a lot of people have mentioned how populaur it is and hey, Ash is on the list five different times! I say we add it in. --[[User:Potatogurl|Potatogurl]] 00:09, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
:::I don't deny that it's popular; it is. But Ash is there multiple times because he's still on the show (being the main character and all). Adding more Dawn 'ships doesn't make sense in that light, especially when no other character aside from Ash exceeds two (even involving his current companions).

::::I odn't know if I'm just no around when people talk about AppealShipping or something, but I personally feel IkariShipping is a very popular ship, so jus "maybe" we could replace it? Again, I don't know if I'm n the internet at all the wrong times and I jus never here the talk, but eh, you can consider it. --[[User:Potatogurl|Potatogurl]] 02:37, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
:::::Appealshipping is one of the more popular yuri 'ships. We needed a yuri 'ship, especially when we don't have many. That's the trade off. It doesn't matter if Ikari is more popular than Appeal; it matters that Appeal is at the top of its place here.

== BumbleeShipping ==
This is ElesaxSkyla. I was curious as to why I've yet to see it listed since it seems to have images and a fan base out there. The name tho is one I heard like once--[[User:Darknesslover5000|Darknesslover5000]] 06:14, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
:Most likely due to a lack of ''official'' evidence (inferred stuff from the games, anime or manga) I'd guess. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 11:44, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
::Not to mention Elesa/Skyla is accurately (and far more commonly) called Airplaneshipping. Unless they get some actual interaction apart from one line outside the games, of course it won't be listed here, regardless of popularity.

== OrangeShipping ==
Shouldn't Orangeshipping be listed here? Its the most popular Tracey shipping and one of the most popular Misty shippings--[[User:Alexa9966|Alexa9966]] 20:30, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
==Luke+Burgundy==
Do we have a [[Luke]]+[[Burgundy]] shipping? If we don't, it should be called "Filmshipping" or something liek that. [[User:Slowbro|It's-a-me! Slowbro!]] I liek [[Mudkip (Pokémon)|mudkipz]] cuz thar comfy and eezy to wear
:It's ''FrenchFilmShipping''. But if you want to suggest names for ships, you should submit them [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f300/complete-list-shippers-v8-4655/ here]. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 01:38, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
== About all other shipping-related articles ==
They are irrelevant, subjective and useless. This article is relevant because it describes a part of the Pokémon fandom that is somewhat present in many parts of it but the specific shipping articles as well as IRL shippers are not notable for a wiki as they serve no encyclopedic use whatsoever. Please delete such rubbish from this wiki. [[User:SatoMew2|<b><span style="color:blue">Sato</span></b>]][[User talk:SatoMew2|<b><span style="color:pink">Mew</span></b>]] 20:16, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
== Drayden x Touya/Black Shipping ==
I would like to add this Shipp with some name like:
* YouthfulLeyendShipping
* YoungLeyendShipping
* JuniorLeyendShipping
* BlossomLeyendShipping
* BoylikeLeyendShipping
* JuvenileLeyendShipping
(Young, Junior and other names because of Touya's youth, and Leyend because of Drayden's dragon type.)
If seen about enough people that like that pairing like for making a Ship out of it, {{unsigned|ShiroKun}}
:This isn't the place to name your ships. Although it seems that you already know [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f300/complete-list-shippers-v8-4655/ where to post], please note that Drayden/Hilbert is already called RigorousShipping. --[[User:神奇超龍|<font color="#2B547E">'''超龍'''</font>]]<sub><small>「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|Chao]]'''」</small></sub> 09:31, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
== New rule ==
There are too many shippings with 1 or 2 hints. There should be a rule that if you can't think of ''at least'' 5 hints, the shipping isn't notable. [[User:Spyspotter|&#123;&#123;SUBST:u&#124;Spyspotter&#125;&#125;]] ([[User talk:Spyspotter|talk]]) 13:19, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
:Shippings, except for the truly notable ones in the history of the franchise and the community, are not notable '''by definition'''. And even those can be summarized and explained in the main article about the subject. Anything else should be deleted ASAP.

== MD Ships and Pokemon Ships ==
I was wondering if we should make articles or at least mention ships that are from the MD game (Virsion and Emogla) and anime ship that use only Pokemon not People. --[[User:AbsolX|AbsolX]] ([[User talk:AbsolX|talk]]) 19:14, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
== Originalshipping ==
I am confused why OriginalShipping (RedxGreen) isn't at the 'popular shipping list' because if you google it, it has 11 Million results. And it is by far the most known and popular shipping. So, is it because it's a gay shipping ? that's somehow really discriminating. And if you google Agency shipping as example you won't even get a million results..so.. this seems more homophobic and non fact based [[User:Orange ryo|Orange ryo]] ([[User talk:Orange ryo|talk]]) 19:31, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
:FWIW, your "11 million" search results almost certainly include more pages like [http://community.ebay.ca/t5/PayPal-Payments/do-i-supposed-to-refund-for-original-shipping-cost/qaq-p/108629 this] than like [http://archiveofourown.org/tags/OriginalShipping this]. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:00, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
Nah, but it's unarguably one of the biggest shippings in the fandom, if you have ever been at tumblr or stuff like this you would know, so it has to be up there [http://originalshippingislove.tumblr.com/][http://fyeahoriginalshipping.tumblr.com/][http://green-x-red-ftw.tumblr.com/rec-list] . And these are only 3 of the many blogs you can find about this pairing. [[User:Orange ryo|Orange ryo]] ([[User talk:Orange ryo|talk]]) 15:17, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
::Note that it says "some of the popular ships" not "all", just because it's not mentioned on this particular list, doesn't mean that it's not a popular ship. We also have homosexual ships on the list and even whole pages focusing on them, so saying that we're being homophobic is rather unfounded.
