Thread: Opposites attract

Who dosen't love the bad boy hooking up with the good girl.

I personaly love the ships were someone who is most of the time a big jerk softening up around a nice girl, I support,
Ikarishipping(DawnxPaul)
SoulSilvershipping(SilverXLyra)

Ikaishipping is cute because paul is always forgeting her name just to get attention from her. In one episode Paul told Dawn all his past and his fellings while walking together! They also blushed when they were found out!

SoulSilvershipping is a game ship so it is hard to come up with evidence, but he would always follow Lyra aound and in the end of the game he asked to do a tag battle with her.It is my favoite!

Plese post your evidence for these ships and others where two different people with completely different pesonalities get together.

I totally agree!
Ego and Novel are some of may favorite shippings!
They all deserve to find love

Ikarishipping ftw <3

Paul seems to me like the kind of person who keeps his feelings in, so when Dawn's around, he wouldn't blatantly show any signs of liking her, unless he really learned to trust her (hence the ep where he opens up to her about Ash and such).

I like the idea of SoulSilvershipping (though I prefer the name Redemptionshipping) because of the whole redemption themes that go along with the romance. Silver seems like a vulnerable, lonely guy who could do with a cute, bubbly and cheerful girl like Lyra.

Another favorite of mine is Wes and Rui (forget the shipping name), if you take Wes to be a hardass, like I do. Wes, who's had to steal pokemon and see what they become, and who turns traitor to his company for good, seems like he'd have a lot of his own personal issues that would cause him to seem distant and cold. Rui, however, seems like the kind of girl that could help him with his issues and help him to move on and be a better person.

I'M A HOPELESS ROMANTIC, I KNOW.

They're two different 'ships: SoulSilver being Silver/Lyra and Redemption being Silver/Kris, so they aren't interchangeable.

And Wes/Rui is Colosseumshipping.

Paul didn't remember Dawn's name, because as he said in the episode, he barely ever paid attention to her. This was only in the 15th ep of DP, so I believe Paul and Dawn only ever saw each other once up to that point.

As for the second part, that....never happened in the anime. In the Sinnoh league Dawn asks Paul why he doesn't like Ash, and Paul says he used to not like him because he thought he was a lousy trainer. They were talking about Ash, not each other. Also, no blushing ever happened between Dawn and Paul over the entire span of DP.

I believe those are the only two times Dawn and Paul ever truly interacted over the entire span of DP.

I'll admit some Ikarishipping fanart is good.

Irony is the title of the game is in the name

Is this for just good-girl-bad-boy pairs? D8; Those are so boring. I want to toss in some good-boy-bad-boy.

Yeah, some Ethan/Silver, Barry/Paul, Ash/Paul, Lucas/Cyrus (wut).

Evidence isn't always necessary for me, but...well, for Ethan/Silver, just replace Kris/Lyra from SoulSilver/Redemption with Ethan, and boom, the same pair.

The rest...uh, yeah. OTL

WAT.

Actually, are there any bad-girl-good-boy pairings? Let me revise that, are there any "bad girls" in this series? I guess Jessie, Cassidy, and other Rocket girls, but beyond that...

Pokemon needs more bad girls.

Hunter J likely counts.

I think ComaShipping is my favourite in this genre of pairings.

...Well, unless Thorton/Maylene, Volkner/Candice, and Morty/Falkner counts.
Although those aren't necessarily bad/good. More like Serious or Apathetic/Lazy or bubbly.

Haha, I really do love these kinds of pairings, come to think of it.

Does Micheal/Wes count?

I do like opposites attract-type pairings, but not all necessarily bad boy/good girl stuff.

Like Buck/Marley, which just so happens to be named OppositesAttractshipping. (:
I also love Paul/Barry, Ash/Paul, Volkner/Candice, Lucian/Aaron, and plenty of others. Differing personalities of characters always make for interesting shipping dynamics. ^^

Hmm. Good/bad pairings...

I do greatly enjoy shipping Cyrus with far too many people than I ought. Among those are Dawn, Lucas, Hareta, Mitsumi (although Mitsumi may be morally grey overall due to her history), Cynthia, and Carolina.

Also, there's things like Koya/Mars, which is good boy/bad girl (albiet good boy there is a jerkass).

If by "bad" you mean being affiliated with an evil team at one point in time, then:

• Colosseumshipping (Wes/Rui)
• Diamondshipping (Giovanni/Delia. Depending on one's theories of how they met.)
• Innuendoshipping (Brock/Domino)
• Krazyshipping (Meowth/Pikachu)
• Skillshipping (Ash/Domino)

There's only evidence for Colosseum and Krazy, the rest I just think would be neat.

If you mean being a jackass or bitchy, then:

• Coldcoffeeshipping (Paul/Barry)
• Comashipping (Paul/Ash)
• Teenrocketshipping/Neoneorocketshipping (Mondo/Domino)
