"What's This Ship Called?" ver. 3 point 5

[lungs]

Is the ship for Gold/Silver/Crystal (Special) Johtoshipping? I'm not sure since I've seen that term used to describe Gold/Silver/Lyra, so I'm just wondering what the two separate terms are.

I'm not a Lyra hater, but it kind of bothers me how she replaced Crys in that ship... Is there a term for Gold/Silver/Crystal/Lyra (game, I guess)? Because that's really something I could get behind. :>

^You're right - Johtoshipping is Gold/Silver/Crystal for both specialverse and gameverse, it seems.
But Gold/Silver/Lyra (assuming you're taking all gameverse here) is Samisenshipping.
Gold/Silver/Kris/Lyra (again, all gameverse) is StarsofJohtoshipping.

I hope that answers most/all of your questions. ^^

Yes, that's what I needed, thank you! n__n I'm pretty new to the Pokemon Shipping community, and I'm not used to all of these names and such (more used to simply character1/character2 or a portmanteau), but it's interesting nevertheless. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but how/where are the shipping names determined (also, why are they created in the first place? >_>)?

[omniouswind]

Understandable, it can be rather overwhelming ^^; The Pokemon fandom has thousands upon thousands of named 'ships. The full list can be found here.
It's managed by Toran Frostbite, the user who posted this thread.

Submissions can be made a lot of different places... Here, but a lot of the action happens over at the shipping name thread on the Bulbagarden Forums.
Basically, if you think of two (or more) characters that you would like to pair together, and you see that the ship is unnamed (by checking the website), then you can name it! Of course, it has to be a name that's not already in use.
Submit it to this thread, and if your the first person to name said 'ship then that's its official name!
Simple, no?

As for why? Haha, I can't entirely say I can answer that. :P Because it's fun? Because it makes Pokemon shipping more interesting?
I've met people who are 'meh' about the whole thing simply because there are so many names and they can't remember them...but a lot of names are really clever and may add some extra twist to a pairing. (and no one says you have to use the ship names anyway...but if you do, use them properly! :P)

If you have any more questions, don't be afraid to ask. And I'm sure you could always ask Toran Frostbite herself; she's like the ship-name goddess, haha.

And finally, welcome to the Pokemon Shipping Community~ It's a fun place to be! : D

Very interesting, thank you again! Many of those names are certainly very amusing. :P

Out of curiosity, what's Lucian/Lucas named?

Out of curiosity, what's Lucian/Lucas named?

OH I WONDER WHY YOU ASKED FOR A NAME FOR THIS. >8)

It's actually nameless, mai dear.

What is the shipping name for Ash and Belle.

[omniouswind]

[Tatatorterra]

What is the shipping name for N and Touko (White)?
A friend of mine wants to knows - a created a monster when I show BW for her...

PS: Sorry for my bad english.

[FlameRose]

N/Touko is FerrisWheelshipping

[Lbsweet96]

Is there a name for Yacon/Artie?

Cause I'm not even a shipper and I want BrokeBackShipping to exist.

[omniouswind]

^Sorry to disappoint, but Yacon/Arti is already SandyCloakshipping while Brokebackshipping belongs to Dario/Damian (two CotDs) :/

[Hazukixxx]

Is there a name for Shooti and Iris?

Is there a name for Shooti and Iris?

Shooti x Iris is Flavescentshipping. ^^

What's the name for:
Arti x Kamitsure
Riolu x Eevee

[Love in a Mist]

Arti/Kamitsure is Juxtapozshipping, and Eevee/Riolu is Anomalyshipping. (:

Has Furou/Flint gotten a name while I was gone? *crosses fingers*

[Legendary Dreams]

In addition to AgencyShipping (Black (PokeSpe) x White (PokeSpe)), I would like to propose a new shipping name.

IsshuDexShipping - (Black (PokeSpe) x N (PokeSpe)).

Would be a neat reference to N's hatred towards Dexes and its linked to IsshuShipping, which refers to the pairing in the games.

I can't find any ideal name for White (PokeSpe) x N (PokeSpe) and Black (PokeSpe) x White (PokeSpe) x N (PokeSpe). The equalivents in the games are FerrisWheelShipping (Touko x N) and MonochromeShipping (Touya x Touko x N), for those that are confused.

Out of pure curiosity, I must ask:

Is there a shipping name for Platinum and Red from the manga?

[omniouswind]

^...I might of overlooked something...but Platina/Red seems to be unnamed.
