I love your signature by the way :3

Lol. Thanks. I found it on Photobucket actually. It made me laugh.
I wonder what kind of Pokemon they each own.
(France totally has a a Bellossum and a Roselia)


Here's a question for the crowd: Do you guys think it's more likely to Gary to travel with Ash or for Ash to settle down and live where Gary's research is?

Ash would NEVER settle down. Ever. Ash's entire world revolves around travelling so that he can be the best trainer. It would devastate him to be stuck in one place for a long period of time. The chances of him doing so are slim to none, even for his crush/love-interest/boyfriend/girlfriend/lover/spouse, with spouse being on the dangerously close to staying point. I think he'd only agree to it if he suddenly found himself a father or something, which isn't going to happen between he and Gary, unless you're a super freak like me who loves mpreg. LOL, preggy Gary, so I can't see that.

There's a better chance of Gary joining Ash, but he'd have to manipulate his research so that he could do so, making sure he got in enough data to fill a quota as he went along, since he's kinda on loan, at the moment. And I think he'd be happy to, since Gary's kinda been hovering between training and researching anyway. I also think he'd love the chance to get into some of the trouble Ash does, because usually Ash and his friends have some surprisingly informative encounters with a Pokemon. Not to mention he'd get to see some legendaries, which would be like GOLD to him.

Do you guys think it's more likely to Gary to travel with Ash or for Ash to settle down and live where Gary's research is?
I don't think Ash will settle down. He'll get bored of the research soon enough. He has dreams to follow and that'll only happen through travelling.
I can see Gary travelling with Ash. Gary can have a combination of training and his research. I mean, Ash often meets new kinds of Pokémon which is very helpful for Gary. ^-^ (and he can keep an eye on Ash while travelling >D)

By the way, welcome Vilde and Palletshpprblaze! Nice to meet you 8)

As everyone else said, Gary would be more likely to travel with Ash. Ash just... wouldn't stay in one place that long. With all the Pokemon Ash manages to see (as well as the improbable amount of Legendary Pokemon that Ash has caught sight of) Gary would have plenty to observe/use for research.

Oooh new PalletShippers. Welcome ^_^

I love you because of your signature. <3 Just thought I'd say that. I didn't think anyone caught that.

Haha thanks. As soon as I saw the posts I thought "I HAVE to quote that in my signature..." ^_^

Question for the world: Does anyone know where I could find some good quality PalletShipping screencaps? I want images from the actual episodes rather than fanart, but it's proving to be kind of difficult =/

I was hoping for more of a list/website with them, but this is great. Thank you ^_^

Lol. Sorry. Those were all just on my photobucket.

You'd have to go through numerous episodes to get certain ons, but I think Serebii might be useful.

Does anyone know if there is any palletshipping fanfic contests going on right now?

Don't apologize, thanks heaps for the pics that you did give me ^_^

I checked Serebii.net, but they aren't the best quality. Oh well, I'll just have to make use of the 'Print Screen' button while on youtube or something I suppose.

Have you tried filb.de for HQ screen caps?

Okay fourth one is really true...lol I can imagine Leaf blushing madly in a Firered/Leafgreen shot similar to that

I also think Gary would travel with Ash since Ash can't really stay in one place...I want that to happen in the fifth region

Ash isn't going to be IN the fifth region, or the season for it, if I'm hearing right. They're taking his ass out, along with Brock's, so that if follows the games better. So the chances of Gary being in their group then? We'd never know unless somehow the new characters heard about it, and even then, chances are slim. Even if Gary's collecting data, it seems like he's being sent certain places for it. His and Ash's paths only collide sparsely.

I think the show is jumping the shark yet again with this. Taking out Ash is like taking out one of the bottom rungs of a ladder, or a the batter out of a cake (which yes, would only be icing), for the show, anyway. Yes, they had the games first, and that was what made Pokemon get out there, but come on: EVERYONE can say that Ash did a lot for it. Half of the fans like him, half of them hate him, but it's all for what he does or doesn't do.

Honestly? The show had problems to begin with. Pokemon has been trying to 'get it right' with the anime for a long while, and Ash is no exception. They snipped out Brock and replaced him, only to bring him back, because the issue as to why he was removed never came up. They shoved Gary out of the show once he'd changed enough into a pansy for them to think he wasn't a decent rival anymore and replaced him over and OVER again with people who were just as flawed, especially Paul, who shouldn't be considered a rival at all, just a cold-hearted kid who happens to like to see everyone under his shoe. People had horrible fits when Misty was taken out, because Misty, (despite my dislike of her), was one of the most layered and detailed characters besides Ash, and replaced her with someone like May and Dawn, who never stood up to the love Misty received. The only characters that have ever stayed constant were Ash, Pikachu, and Team Rocket.

Take away any of those three, and I know and you know that the popularity and the money Pokemon has will drop. Significantly. The games will still sell like gold, but the show's ratings will hit the dirt. The episodes are already cookie-cutter-esque, boring, and filled with a new 'character of the day' that's got the personality of a clod of dirt. The movies are getting desperate, and Ash has literally died so many times or nearly died that, logically, he shouldn't be standing. He shouldn't even be functioning because of the amount of oxygen his brain's been deprived of for long periods. ASH KETCHUM IS PRACTICALLY A ZOMBIE. We get it: the kid takes life or death risks for his friends, but if they keep this up, I seriously expect the poor bastard to start shambling around looking for brains.

I'm sorry for going off like this. Maybe it's because, I don't know, I always liked Ash. He's the kid you know you'd want to be friends with and a guy you can trust. If he disappears from the anime, I think it'd be safe to say that from that point on, Pokemon is a dead horse. It's been going on 20 years, now, which is a long hardy life for a fandom, even immortal, but I just can't get behind what the anime is doing, anymore. I only vaguely see the idea in adding more new Pokemon every new region, because in real life, even, we are always discovering more species. But even then, a couple of the games didn't have certain Pokemon in their coding AT ALL. Which means you couldn't catch them. ISN'T POKEMON ABOUT 'CATCHING THEM ALL'?

People laugh when they say I don't play the new games or watch the new episodes. You know what? All of you that laugh can suck it when they take Ash out, because it's just another reason for me to love and stay loyal to Pokemon's start instead of the absolute bore it's become.

That's a rant, by the way. I wouldn't open it if you are at all a fan of the new changes they are talking about implementing.

They MAY BE one going on in one of the DA groups I'm in, I think. As for here? No.

...

BUT!
BUT!!!!

I'm glad you asked. Because I think it's high time we tried another. Since Mleen's judged before and I freaking SUCK at getting things in on time, I can be one of the judges and give out a prize fic for the winner.

Come, my fellows, my brethern(or sisteren!), come discuss what our contest will be about! We need a theme. It must be grand enough to be made of awesome but subtle enough to make one-shots.

AND! To make it more interesting: if you wish to participate, you must sign up BEFORE we come up with a theme. Because if you don't do something just because of a theme, then you aren't challenging yourself. And please, try to attempt something if you sign up, even if you don't like the topic.

DO I HAVE ANY CONTESTANTS?!
