Thread: Palletshipping

Oh, there's the thread! I couldn't find it for a while since Bulbagarden upgraded their forums...
It's been so dead here. I was really hoping that some of the other fans would come back but I guess that's not the case. ):

Well it's good to see you, The Cool Honourshppr! Read my fanfics~! Just kidding. I only read the ones from FF.net so I can only give you suggestions from there.
Just saying that the story In Ruins by Lanie Kay-Aleese is finally finished so be sure to check that awesomeness out. (: Other than that, there are lots of new Palletshipping stories uploaded to FF. You can check those out as well.

Palletshipping? Honestly, I think that's the BEST thing out there! The anime creators SO need to make this CANON!!

The rivalry between Gary and Ash was just awesome - that battle at the Silver Conference was SUPER.

Everytime Ash would leave for a new region, the reason was because Gary was going, too. (Except for Unova). It's just sweet! Following your friend wherever he goes just to catch up with him...LOL

The anime creators need to bring Gary back to the show :)

I'm also a fan of palletshipping. :D I'm pretty open minded when it comes to shippings so I like pokeshipping AND palletshipping, but being a yaoi otaku honestly I'm more likely to do palletshipping writing.

I decided to start supporting PalletShipping today when I realized how many hints there are. I'm not exactly a big fan of the idea of Ash and Gary as a couple (as of now, at least), though. But I think that they are at least good friends who are an important part of each other's lives. Aside from Unova and the Orange Islands, Gary was why Ash travelled to different regions besides Kanto.

What do you think if the original had Palletshipping actually happen and they started going out. Japan has a lot of shows that showcase two boys together. So it could very likely happen in like that last few episodes of the show. What do you think the English Dub would do. Do you think they would cut it out? :( There has yet to be a kid's show in America to specifically say that a boy was gay.

You mean assuming there were actually scenes of a date or something? I imagine it would be toned down in the dub to make it seem like Ash and Gary were just friends and hanging out. Anything more suggestive would have likely been cut, similar to how Misty slapping Ash was cut out of the first episode by 4kids.

Granted, there have been gay characters in Pokemon, most notably Harley and Zoey, but its not like we ever saw them actively hitting on other characters....well, for the most part anyway.

Um hellooo!! I've been following this thread for a while but only just decided to post. I've actually been a secret Palletshipping fan for a loooong time :) I think Ash and Gary are really really cute together, and I really love how Gary's character matures over the course of the show and how Ash responds to it. My favorite moments were the scenes during the silver conference when it was just the two of them out at night, staring at the moonlight. Siiigh...so romantic..

I agree with Gliscor'd, they would probably just make them out to be really close friends. It probably wouldn't be that hard since its a kid's show in the first place, and the original uncut version wouldn't likely have anything past a kiss anyway. And a kiss would be easy to cut. But that would just be such a shame. :( Actually now that I think of it, they did this in Sailor moon where there was a lesbian couple (I forgot who) who mysteriously became cousins for the english version lol. They also changed the gender of guy in a gay relationship...I don't think that'd quite work with Pokemon, haha. I can't really imagine Ash or Gary as a girl, even if Ash seems to have a tendency to cross dress...

Does anyone know what happened to Gary's parents? I'm actually in the midst of writing a fanfiction that has to do with them initially, but I haven't seen every single episode (well to admit, I've only seen up to season 6), so I don't know if they ever talked about them.

Oh, it's been such a long since last time I were here xD Got a congratz from bulbagarden and remembered how active I was here and how this thread had a really important meaning to me :] good to see it's still around (thought a little dead...)

Maybe a new contest can bring it back to life a little bit? 8D Like a drawing contest, but let's first see how many that's interested ^.^

I would be Very interested!

I'd really love to see this thread getting active again. I used to get all my writing inspiration from you guys <3 But yeah, a drawing contest sounds great! I'm in.

Also, welcome to the new faces here. Might be a little late now, but late is beter than never ^_^'

This is a kinda of old artwork I did... But still, I do thing it's cute ^^

Ash is crossdressing as Ashley there

Hey, guys, I'm sorry if I'm annoying you by posting in this randomly and me not even being a Palletshipper, so I'm sorry about that. But, I have a Gary question and I assume you guys are the most knowledgeable about Gary, so I wanted to ask you, if that's okay, please don't kill me.
This looks like the stupidest question ever, I'm sorry I apologize for that. I tried to post this in the "Simple Anime one-answer questions" thread, but it was closed, so, sorry. But, I was wondering if someone could list the episodes where Gary can be seen in his corvette convertible or whatever car it is he drives. Preferably an episode where Gary can be seen facing forward and the car can be clearly seen. Please don't ask my reasoning behind this ahahaha. Thank you.

So, you guys still up for the art contest? :D

Pokémonlotty: Well... the only episode I can remember is ep 31 xD Dig those Digletts... hope it was to some help 8D

Sad to see this thread is nearly dying...

It's not dying. The Shipping Pictures thread already died, which I thought would never happen, but yeah, I'm not fine with watching this one go too.

Anyways, here's some fanarts that showed up on my Tumblr dashboard.
