Shipping in the Pokémon fandom began in the late 90s, with Pokémon forums hosting their own shipping sections for fans to discuss their favorite ships. Two of the most popular ships at the time were ''PokéShipping''; the pairing of {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, and ''RocketShipping''; the pairing of {{an|Jessie}} and {{an|James}}. Other Pokémon sites would also have sections dedicated to shipping, having lists of hints and evidence of a romantic relationship that were mostly speculation.

Recently within the fandom, shipping has seemingly died down, with conversations about them only occurring in small pockets of the community. Many fans seemingly condemn the idea of shipping, particularly the more offensive shippings. As such, the concept of shipping characters has mostly been abandoned.
