Good luck becoming the very best.

>>33479299
But what are the reasonings behind the names? A lot of them seem to make no sense.

I can get amourshipping with Kalos being France pretty much, but yeah there are many others that just look like a very convoluted reasoning. Hardenshipping apparently is related to magma becoming solid when in contact with water, the innuendo is a bonus.

Because they're runnning out of names.

That's a problem in every fandom.
At the point where everyone was still desperately looking for shipping names, several fandoms had to share names.
It's not making it better when you realize that every ever so rare pair had to have a shipping name.
Pokemon is kinda a relic in that regard. Other fandoms nowadays don't force shipping names anymore

It's literally Bulbapedo acting like some sort of official council on this shit.

This is a 370 page long thread (started by Pomf, because of course it is) where you can apparently submit names and have them made "official". Yes, it's cancer.

Why do they even need names? What's wrong with calling it CharacterxCharacter?

Nothing. It's literally what Japan does.

If the "Hardenshipping" mentioned in the OP is Archie X Maxie, then that's called AoMatsu in nip, and I don't need to look that shit up to know that.

People used to do it, it kinda became a tradition. People ditched it eventually and just use Character/Character or some portmonteaux.

I don't know, but the Yugioh fandom did it too, so maybe it's an early 2000's thing.

It's a burger thing. Run by Bulbapedo. As mentioned in >>33479443, Japan just uses generic portmanteau names and gives no fucks about these "official" names Pomf pulls out of his ass.

I should be surprised, but I'm not. The only reason I still tolerate Bulbapedo is for the typings and the shitty trivia.

Have they lost all touch. The couple literally has Onix and Cloyster in the games, how can that be too inappropriate?
