Thread: How did you become a shipper?

You know, I am pretty curious. How did you ever got into shipping?

Me? I thought always that Jessie and James were a couple, and since some friends said this isn't true, I couldn't believe them and I still support Rocketshipping.

Can't really remember exactly how but I bet it was /cm/'s Pokémonthread on 4chan, hah.

I was reading random articles on Bulbapedia several years ago when I was just discovering the fandom and stumbled across the list of shipping articles. Fascinated, I looked at all of them and decided which ones I thought made sense. I've changed my mind on a lot of them over the years, though.

I was a noobish, romantic-minded 10 year old under the impression that Ash and Misty were in luv. >__> Then I found fanfiction. Then I found PalettShipping. Then AG came along and ContestShipping was awesome. Now CafeMocha. And all sorts of not-so-prevalent ships. I was in awe, and entertained.

Never RocketShipping, though. One of the first websites I found myself at was Pokemopolis as an impressionable child, therefore I still hold many of their views.

I stumbled across it while on Bulbapedia. Thank you, Dawn's Buneary.

Well I mostly came around after playing Mario Bros and saw the adorable kiss on the cheek for the mustached hero at the end. Hooray for adorable awesomeness

well, lets see.

It started in the second movie when i thought misty had a crush on ash because of the cliched "He not my boyfriend. He is a boy, and a friend, but not my BOYFRIEND!" line.

However, i never say ash returning the feelings, so i just thought i was parinoid or it was one-sided (<--still think that one).

Then, when i turned 17, i was randomly looking up angies crush on ash, and came across advanceshipping (). After that, and after having a girlfriend of my own, i have come to the conclusion as to which pairing i will ALWAY support. i will give you one guess as to what my #1 is.

(long explaination is long)

If I remember right, it started back in AG with Anabel, I liked Abilityshipping. Than I saw those specials in AG started to really like Orangeshipping. D/P came around and saw how Ash and Dawn were close with each other and noticed that they had great chemistry, that's when I truly started to ship. Than Angei was in D/P and I liked her with him as well, than Negaishipping {Ash/Iris} I thought was really cute and I said screw it, I'm a multi Ash shipperXD

I didn't really question it. When I was about 8 or 9 growing up with Pokemon, i honestly thought Ash and Misty were boyfriend and girlfriend.
It was only after re-watching when I was older that I realized they weren't XD

I shipped Steven and May when I played my first Pokémon game. Then I discovered the internet and the term "shipping".

I think Brendan and May got me into shipping. I just felt more attached to R/S's characters than previous generations, so I had more of a "story" in my mind as I played.

I was thinking of ways to annoy James, and then I randomly clicked this section, discovered shipping, and created Doomsdayshipping. Hehehe.

Also, I had previously created a huge love web full of cheaters, haters, and exes for the Sinnoh characters, which helped me get even more into it.

I don't really remember x3
I think I just randomly found it out thankz to the Power of the Internet(cool background music) x3

I became a Pokeshipper when I stumbled across shipping articles in Bulbapedia. i read up the hints, and eventually, I became a Pokeshipper.

I got into shipping pretty lately. While I did always like the idea of Colosseumshipping (before I even knew what shipping was), I didn't officially get into it until DP came out and I found Ikarishipping. That shipping brought me into the world of shippings and I haven't looked back XD
