Quoted By:
There's no concept of " closest to winning " in shipping when nothing happens in the first place. It's retarded cope made by shippers trying to rationalize the sunk cost they put into their ship. It happened with Amourfags during her return and now it's happening with Pokefags given that there's even less shipping angle to the Misty/Ash dynamic than OS had, which genuinely had some romantic implications in some certain scenarios. MPM didn't nostalgia bait any of those moments(TR teasing Ash and Misty, Ghost of Maiden's Peak, Rudy, etc). Just completely unserious
