>>34889624>>34889623Holy kekarinos, there are only two ships I really believe in. VolcanicPrincess my SM OTP and one true ship and Advanceshipping. Amour was fun for the duration of XY but beyond that it's forgettable. I didn't like how it was mainly one-sided it was on Serena's side, but with Ash and May they played off really well together with the teacher/student dynamic. Their movies together were also extremely cute with Ash being a Aura Guardian and May being his Princess, he and May acting as Manaphys parents, and their argument episode solidified Ash/May as my favorite Ash ship. Also the fanfic "The Champion is Never Forgotten" was 10/10 and made me love it even more.
But, unlike LillieAsh autists who throw a tantrum anytime a different ship gets posted I actually acknowledge other ships that involve characters I ship together being shipped with other people.
Let me lay it down for you all with how I ship characters.
Favorite Canon Ships:
KiaweLillie
AshMay
SerenaMillifeui
TiernoSwannaGirl
Ships that I like but have no real preference over:
CynthiaAsh
AshDawn
ShaunaClemont
This is fact, AdvancedShipping had the best dynamic with Ash and May feeling like equals but Ash having a more supportive and encouraging roll towards May which was very sweet. Serena and Millifeui doesn't need to be explained, Millifeui would dominate and tease Serena endlessly, and Tierno/SwannaGirl just look so cute together! They met and fell in love at one of Shaunas performances!
