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. There are also specific character or arc ships that are usually passing in the media that usually have more specific evidence of attraction on the part of at least one of the included characters. | Although any selection of characters can be shipped, there are multiple shipping archetypes that are more common than others within the Pokémon fandom.

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