>>53589610>Anti PokeshippingIt's a sort of hyper rationalist take where if something is not explicit then it isn't confirmed. Like how Bulbapedia says Girafarig "Might" be inspired by Giraffes.
That said there is merit to it because the show *did* go on to introduce Serena anyways. Serena's inception severely undercuts pokeshipping even if it was 100% intentional on the japanese end. Not only because of Serena herself but even moreso because they continue not to act on either ship beyond vague nods after the fact
