Luvdisc What do you think about Contestshipping? <3

Hey everyone. I haven't made a new thread in a while, so I figured, hey, why not.

Does anyone like Contestshipping (May and Drew?) I mean, as much as me? You might know me as an Amourshipping fanatic, which is definitely true, but I love other ships too.

I just love shipping rivals together. A.K.A, MayXDrew, DawnXKenny, and more. I love when they fight! It is just so cute. Drew is a sweetheart. Ok sorry I'm talking too much...

Anyway, what do you people think about Contestshipping? Do you like it? How about Penguinshipping (Dawn and Kenny?) Thx for answers in advance!!!

I remember when I first heard about ContestShipping and PenguinShipping.

I always hated them! I mean, being former AdvanceShipping and PearlShipping trash meant that I was always going to be biased against them. Not a fan of Drew in the slightest (still not) and Kenny was just so...annoying too.

Having gotten slightly back into the anime around the time Ash battled Flannery, I have to say that I despised Drew. He was arrogant, narcissistic, and had some sort of fascination with roses but always seemed to think he could get the girl because he deserved it.

Of course, when I discovered shipping around 8 years ago, and learned that ContestShipping was a thing, I immediately wrote it off, instead becoming a supporter of AdvanceShipping (Ash x May if you're not shipping trash). During my time in various shipping communities I did not exactly get a great impression of ContestShippers either, so ended up pretty much despising the entire thing.

As for PenguinShipping... I was more into AppealShipping (Dawn x Zoey) for the rival shipping going on with Dawn. And no, not because lesbians.

...maybe a little because lesbians.

We clearly need more lesbians.

AdvanceShipping seems to be what I follow apparently.

I like two characters. If they were in a relationship, it'd be cute.

I liked Contestshipping, and Drew, back in the day. ...Think I even joined a fanclub for him once.

Personally my Pokémon OTP is Gary Oak x Molly Hale from the third movie. *shot*

I don't know why, but Drew is just such a cutie... He gives roses to May and why else would he be doing that? He obviously likes her.

Your het ships confuse me.

No, but seriously, I don't see Ash as anything but asexual anymore. Although I haven't watched much XY, I don't see it changing that much. Ash's one love is Pokemon training. And he's terrible at even that. We should have retired him Gen III at the very latest.

That said

I thought May and Drew were kinda cute, at least. Really no other better options for either, so that's cool, I guess.

I ain't no hardcore shipper. I dunno, I mean I have a few ships I'm like "okay this sounds cool" with, Ingitionshipping (FlintxVolkner), JimShipping (Brock and James), and apparently SingleStepShipping (Misty and Sakura, I swore there was a better name for that) are few that make the list. I don't really adhere much to any ship communities though, so, eh.

I prefer ships that have any groundings whatsoever and to be honest Ash with anyone has no grounds, not after his quote from Gen 1 of love not being more important than catching Pokemon.

That being said I didn't watch enough of Hoenn or Sinnoh to have any opinion on any contest related ships.

So if any of you wonder why my signature picture and avatar changes so often is because I go on these crazes where I obsess over one particular ship at a time.
Like right now it's Contestshipping because I can't get over how cute Drew is... Ok I really am starting to think that I have a crush on him. And yes that sounds pretty lame, I know...

Satosere, if you don't already know there's a Pokemon coordinator tumblr that frequently reblogs Contestshipping fanart, fanfics, or people discussing their characters as well as the other coordinators of the show:

http://pkmncoordinators.tumblr.com/

Go through that tumblr and click on the Contestshipping tags to see a whole community for it.

The entire shipping community is on tumblr if you're not already there.

There are a large chunk of pokemon anime fans on tumblr for some reason, mostly because they all left pokemon forums like Bulbagarden and Serebii where the anime was discussed for years.

Honestly I don't blame anyone for that, forums have a hierarchy in place, and disagreeing with those above you can result in bad times. Or having too strict rules. It's no surprise that fandoms went to tumblr where it's more equal for everyone and you can follow the people who post the stuff you like.

But still, ew tumblr.

I'm not a huge contestshipper or anything, but I have to admit it has pretty fanart:



Its hard to believe this ship is 12 years old. Drew made his debut in 2003.

Goddamn I am getting old.
