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. | should we mention that some culture definations of what's considered shippy is little different.

: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. It's not really a cultural thing. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 01:21, 22 February 2011 (UTC) | :Not really.

I noticed that NegaiShipping is listed under popular ships and that sort of bewilders me. Is that just because it's a ship with Ash and a female companion? Because from what I seen, NegaiShipping is not that popular among fans. Which is a bit surprising. WishfulShipping seems to be more popular than it is despite their being more valid hints for Negai displayed in the anime for Iris. Especially among Japanese fans (of course CafeMocha out-popularizes them all lol). Let me try to prove my case with some well known sites for fan works. If you have a problem with these couplings, don't click the links. | |||
Here are the tags for both Negai and Wishful on Pixiv. Please compare: [http://www.pixiv.net/search.php?word=%E3%82%B5%E3%83%88%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4&s_mode=s_tag Negai] vs [http://www.pixiv.net/search.php?word=%E3%83%87%E3%83%B3%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4&s_mode=s_tag Wishful] | |||
Here is what search results turn up for Negai and Wishful on deviantART. Please compare: [http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&global=1&q=NegaiShipping Negai] vs [http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=WishfulShipping Wishful] {{tt|*|Please note that all works may not be relevant to the ships}} | |||
*In addition to this, I'd like to include the ships' focus groups on dA. Please compare member count: [http://negaishippers.deviantart.com/ Negai] vs [http://wishfulshipping.deviantart.com/ Wishful] | |||
Here are Ash/Iris and Cilan/Iris stories on FanFiction.net. Please compare: [http://www.fanfiction.net/game/Pokemon/10/0/1/1/0/6297/50779/0/0/1/ Negai] vs [http://www.fanfiction.net/game/Pokemon/10/0/1/1/0/50973/50779/0/0/1/ Wishful] {{tt|*|Let it be known that some of the stories may not be shipping}} | |||
These show that NegaiShipping is lagging in popularity when compared to WishfulShipping. I am here to suggest that WishfulShipping get added to the list as well. And no, I'm not doing this because I am a Wishful shipper. If I saw evidence that it was indeed less popular than Negai I wouldn't bring it up. But if Negai is being listed, I think Wishful should be too. And if it is indeed only being listed because it is an Ash x Female companion ship, I would suggest a removal. Ash ships should only be listed if they are indeed very popular, which Negai clearly isn't. --[[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>]] 10:45, 7 May 2011 (UTC) | |||
