Thread: Pokeshipping General Discussion

That was what I was trying to achieve with the topic... I remember some people saying they didn't post here often because of the hypothesizing.

Anyway, I'll do the same thing again, because my imagination is limited like that.

Dub-only: Misty's Goodbye Song
Non-dub only: Naval Maneuvers (because I think it's the strongest Ash hint)

Hmm...good topic (even if it is from another thread)

I think I'd have to agree with AvidPSFan about Misty's Goodbye song - for me, that is definitely the most 4Kids has contributed to pokeshipping.

I've got so many favourite non-dub hints, it's almost impossible to choose. I think my all-time favourite non-dub hint is in Get Along, Little Pokemon where Ash carries Misty into the cave and holds her close during the storm. For me, that just shows how much Ash does care for Misty, even if he's not so quick to admit it.

Nothing! Sorry but I must say that but I totally hate that Misty's goodbye song, it drives me crazy every time I hear that >.> It's so horriblw and ruined the whole episode and the sad moment. My brains don't work so among this there comes only Misty's "marry"-thing from Heartbreak of Brock to my mind, but I don't consider that as a hint. There are also some differences in dialogues between dub and original but nya, my answer is there is no favourites.

What is your favorite "non-dub-only" hint?
This is kinda difficult question, but my absolute favourite hints and moments are from Here comes the Squirtle squad and Tower of terror. In that Squirtle episode before Ash goes to get some medicine for Pikachu, Squirtle said that if he didn't come back by noon, they will kill Misty [or spray her hair purple, in the dub, lol]. And when Ash gets back to the cave, there was no one there after that was scenario of Misty falling which caused Ash to panic. That was very sweet to notice how much he really cared for her.
Tower of terror had very cute moments too. It was very interesting how Misty only heard Ash's voice when Ash teased Misty :)

Dub only: If it counts, then Misty's Song off the 2ba Master album. It's not part of the show, but it's like a flat out confession. It definitely shows that the dub producers/writers/other important people thought they like each other, and I personally don't think they pulled it out of thin air. I also personally think that if they did pull it out of thin air, then whatever quality control liaison the Japanese producers had with the dubbers wouldn't have said "Sure, bro, you can modify our plot". But I can't prove that.

If that doesn't count, then the goodbye song I guess. There really aren't that many, despite what some people say. There's that, the Jirachi Wish Maker line, "We'll be married someday too" (even though I don't view it as a hint) and that's about it.

Non dub only: If you mean any hint that was in the original, then I'm partial to Rudy's last line in "Misty Meets Her Match":

Rudy: "I hope you know, you're a very lucky guy, Ash."
Ash: "Lucky? Whaddya mean?"
Rudy: "Haha, you'll see someday."

I saw it subbed and I believe the line was essentially the same. Blatant foreshadowing, absolutely blatant. Either that or the entire movie of Pokemon 2000. If you meant something that the dub took out, then "A Date With Delcatty".

Oh my god, I completely forgot about that one!

Can you believe that some people think he's not talking about Misty when he says that? I mean who else could it be?
