>I don’t know, I feel naruto entertained with so many competing parallel ships while Pokemon makes it obvious which ship is actually intended or not?
>Intented or not I feel as though in the end the fans are going to react like how the Naruto folks are now. Canonizing one ship pisses off a diffrent group who were rooting for another ship and so on, keeping the level of canonicity to a bare few (and even then stick to the very clearly defined pairings like say, Contestshipping) at most is the best road to take on that imo.
>well and then you get into the issue, was pokeshipping not clearly defined enough to say that it’s fans don’t deserve to see it culminated?
>Some will say it did, others will say it didnt, and right there is the basis for many arguments and debates that could spring up from that. Pokeshipipng is canon, people agaisnt the ship are saying it “didnt deserve it” other say it did and so on.
>I feel that’s a bad metric though. An author should write what honestly makes narrative sense regardless if it pisses off fans. That shouldn’t stop an author from staying true to personalities. Pokeshipping would stay true to Ash and Misty’s personalities. Contestshipping would stay true to Drew and May’s personalities. Questshipping would stay true to Jimmy and Marina’s personalities.
Why do people still cling so much to Pokeshipping? When Ash is better with literally ever other girl than Misty (and Iris).
