PokeShipping (Ash x Misty) Discussion Thread

[blondekid15]

Hi guys, newbie here.

Have a question regarding Doujinshis.

http://www.frostedsuki.com/pokemon.html

Does anyone know where I could obtain the "Orange Mail" Doujinshi and "Ready Go!" Doujinshi?

Cheers.

Welcome ^^

Oh I've been to that website, there are links to where the person who made it got their doujinshi, I've looked specifically for about 5 of the titles on the websites and couldn't find them...But a few years ago I bought Ready Go! on eBay, if you can't find any of them on eBay I will hopefully get around to scanning it soon that way you can read it either way (of course it's in Japanese)

Which reminds me if anyone can help translate it if I post the scans, that would be awesome cause it will be 10x better knowing what everyone is saying, of course it's already awesome even in Japanese.

All this time I've been wondering why Brock has been following Ash in travels for the last two region... now I know...

It's really funny, so funny I fell off my chair lol.

Ya,that makes me wonder..NIce comic strip,..

I was watching Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea today and the ending song made me think of Pokeshipping! It's called "Together We Make a Promise." I put the lyrics in a spoiler.

In our never ending journey
The road has split apart
A chapter closes in a story
A finish to a start
And even though it feels like the end, my friend
You know it's only the beginning
It's the beginning...

Together we'll make a promise
To never forget it all
We've only scratched the surface
Of worlds we'll come to know
Together moving forward
Even though we're far apart
So safe and sound inside our hearts
We keep our word until we are together once again

And if you hear me in a raindrop
I'm not that far away
You can see in your reflection
Another side of me
And even though we say goodbye, goodbye
We will never be alone
No we're not alone...

Together we'll make a promise
To never forget it all
We've only scratched the surface
Of worlds we'll come to know
Together moving forward
Even though we're far apart
So safe and sound inside our hearts
We keep our word until we are together once again

So goodbye to you
And everything we went through
We made it to the ending and
The other side of the moon
Goodbye to you
We'll hold on to the memories
Of the good times

Together we'll make a promise
To never forget it all
We've only scratched the surface
Of worlds we'll come to know
Together moving forward
Even though we're far apart
So safe and sound inside our hearts
It's all inside our hearts

Together we'll make a promise
to never for... (fade out)
 

I just think that song really fits our ship. ^^

Next time I post on here I think I'll have a nice graphic to share with you guys!

Yes!It's totally fits with them,specially reading the last part really makes me remember the last Part of ''Gotta Catch Ya Later'' Which they promise that they'll meet or see each other again.

Thats very nice of you .

I'll have to keep searching on Ebay, haven't come across any unfortunately.

Any keywords that might stand out more for when searching for the doujinshis on ebay to make it easier to find?

Cheers.

How do I view those in full?...Or get translations? ._.

By the way, HELLO forums

[blondekid15]

For searching on eBay...it was about 2 years ago when I bought Ready Go! ...But I think you should just try different searches..the best search i think is "Pokemon doujinshi" cause that comse up with a lot of different ones..unfortunately there are really only rocketshipping and palletshipping ones...there are about two pokeshipping ones on the list but they're hentai which doesn't interest me in the least so...just keep checking that search, the doujinshi you're looking for (which im also looking for aka Orange Mail) is rare so just keep checking cause it may be on the list one day...

I was on Blondekid15's Youtube channel (AMVGeek15 <--- check her out, she's good!) and I saw this video about how Ash and Misty meeting each other was their destiny and I almost cried! SatoKasu is so right! Misty and Ash are just obviously in love! X3

Aww, thanks about you liking my AMVs, i love making them ^^ oh yes that one you're talking about didn't seem as cute or sweet as the other pokeshipping story videos I've seen but I've gotten some strong reactions which was what I hoping for (basically touching pokeshippers hearts in some way)

Oh my gosh i love the song *_* especially one lyric that..well I'm just gonna have to put it in my signature, shouldnt i? xD Edit: And i wanna make an AMV with it ^_^

[ChicaMusica]

I'm confused, what exactly is a doujinshi? And also, I'm really starting to lose faith in the anime. -.- Any older aspects are being taken out completely...I know it's a Cash Cow Franchise, but eventually it's going to run out of generations to make. Especially with Misty gone, Ash is even more of a Chaste Hero. I don't know I just dislike the fact that Ash is pretty much asexual nowadays. I'd like the writers to at least for a final season or something to make a storyline with a plot other than get to the league, with maybe some of the old cast back. (*coughMistycough*) Yes I know I'm shameless I'm aware that the show advertises the games, but that doesn't mean they can just toy with main characters. Sorry XD but I was watching some pokeshipping videos and it just brought back those evil feelings XD

[Hakajin]

A doujinshi is a fan-made manga. There're laws in Japan that allow such fan-made works to be sold in stores and at conventions. A lot of them are based on previously existing works, but they don't have to be. A lot of them are also hentai... but not all of them. Some manga artists started out writing doujinshi. CLAMP is probably the most famous example.

Anyway, those aren't evil feelings. Even if it's especially about Misty for us, I do feel like it's bad of them to keep switching characters. May was fine. I mean, I was upset about the switch, but... when Dawn came around, and we realized that this was going to be a regular thing... it makes us feel like the characters are expendable, just props that can be switched around to promote the games or whatever. I wonder if the writers have realized this and didn't go with the B/W heroine for that reason... Maybe they plan to have Iris stick around for a while. I don't know, but... I think it's natural for fans to feel that way, and not just Pokeshippers.

[xxGlassRose]

There is quite a bit to reply to on here!

Welcome Little_Dave and ChicaMusica!

And yes as Hakajin said, doujinshis are fan-made comics. I've read some pretty good ones too ^^

@Blondekid15
I wanted to make an AMV to that! But if we both do, all it means it more Pokeshipping in the world! XD My opinion is that the world could always use more Pokeshipping!

Since last time I posted a Pokeshipping moment it got such good reactions, here's another one of my favorites!

Wherefore Art Thou, Pokemon?

Ash: What'cha doin?
Misty: Writing identical letters to Emily and Ralph. It's the perfect way to get these two together!
Ash: You really think it'll work?
Misty: *grabs him by the collar* Of course it'll work! Ralph and Emily are both going to get a letter. A love letter from each other! *drops him*
Ash: But couldn't you get arrested for mail fraud? (one of my favorite lines ever! XD)
Misty: Those two will end up thanking me for this! They're not mature enough to admit it, but they really like each other!
Tracey: You know, it's exactly the same thing with you and Ash!
Misty and Ash: *death glare* You must be crazy!

But he' not. x3 Honestly, I don't know how Orangeshipping exists when Tracey stated, boldly, plainly, that Ash and Misty like each other. Tracey is probably the biggest Pokeshipper in the show besides Team Rocket!

I agree that anime switches characters too often. I love May, and Dawn's right behind her on my favorites list. Iris isn't even in the show yet and I like her. But I wish the old characters would at least make more cameos or something! *coughPokeshippingcough* ;D

[Teshub]

Do you know the actual Japanese dialogue for that part?

[issue-11]

Wherefore Art Thou, Pokemon?

That's one of my favorite pokeshippy moments ever!

you know, I was browsing google, searching for something pokeshipping-related (don't remember what) when I stumbled across a topic on pokecommunity. it was called 'AAML is dead!'. I read a few pages and noticed a lot of people think AAML and pokeshipping are the same thing. IMO they're not. AAML is the actual thing, Ash and Misty's Love, and pokeshipping is the group that supports it, and doing anything AAML-related can also be defined as pokeshipping, even just thinking about it. this led me to the conclusion that AAML is dying, and Pokeshipping is desperately trying to revive it. why AAML is dying? simply because Misty hasn't appeared for a few hundred episodes. AAML is like a person dying of an illness, and hints like in "Buizel your way outta this!" are the medicine prolonging it's life. If the anime ends without AAML becoming canon, it will flatline, but if AAML dies, all other ships will also die. because the Indigo season was originally going the be the only season, I think the writers actually meant for AAML to become canon. but when they made plans for more seasons, this idea was put on hold because romance is hard to fit into show like pokemon. I think that IF they decide do make one ship canon, it will be pokeshipping, because it was the original ship. anyway, this whole lap of text is just my theory, ignore it if you feel like it. But know that as long as we exist, AAML will NEVER die!

[Moogleborg]

Thats right. Pokeshipping will never die as long as we exist. Like the Kamen Riders assisting Kamen Riders Decade and Diend against Dai Shocker, we'll never give up on Ash and Misty as long as we live! ^_^

Even if it takes a long time for Ash and Misty to finally be together, i'll guarantee myself that i'll be there when it happens for Ash and Misty. And i'm hoping that all of us Pokeshippers will be there too. ^_^

FINAL KAMEN ATTACK RIDE: ASH AND MISTY!! (RIDER KICK!!)

i completely and absolutely agree, you just said it way better than i could have, lol. in my opinion, not even being bias, either pokeshipping will happen or no shipping will happen..its possible for pokeshipping to become canon, because one thing people always say is pokemon is a "kids" show so there isnt a lot of romance...i begged a differ though, think of all those couples in pokemon that have confessed their love for each other...ash and misty were probably going to be the main couple that takes a while for them to get together like in a lot of romantic comedies but since its been 13 years we'll see if that's still the plan...hoping it is and even if it isnt, nothing will stop my love for the ship which keeps it alive

These is our of my fave Pokeshippy episodes!!Tracey is such a POkeshipper(I think)..you could see how Ash and Misty react so fast when Tracey said ''You know,it's exactly the same thing with you and Ash!'',They both deny on that thing together..*shocks,I hope Ash has the same feeling as MIsty has*..

But I wish the old characters would at least make more cameos or something! *coughPokeshippingcough* ;D

Me too..I hope old characters have their another cameo..specially for MIsty of course!and also for Brock..etc!I hope the writer would make their minds think that old character really needs a cameo..*I hope Misty can have another cameo*..Hoping..just ''hoping'',

[Little_Dave]

Would be cool if Misty/Kasumi made a brief appearance on Best Wishes, just before Ash/Satoshi leaves for the Isshu region, he can give her a brief call, or a scene showing th end of a call with Misty/Kasumi waving bye.

Yeah,Exactly..!
and also It would be nice if Ash would mention even a little about MIsty,just like in DP about the lure Misty gave to him,..

[issue-11]

Hell, ANY indication that Misty still exists would be nice...

[xxGlassRose]

Maybe we should email the Pokemon people and petition for a Misty cameo. lol ^^

So anyway, I realized something. These guys are ten. And when I was ten, teasing someone or hitting them with a ball was considered flirting, and it meant you had a crush on them in most cases. If that's true, Ash and Misty did a heck of a lot of flirting! x3
I liked how they went from two people who were always arguing to best friends. I mean, what motivated them to stay together all that time in the first few episodes?
I also realized that I will always be a Pokeshipper. I might as well be, since I seem to have a strange inability to recognize any other Ash ship hints. ^-^

The episode Misty Meets Her Match says it for me. I will now break it down some and point out a few things. ^^
When Misty went with Rudy on a date, Ash was upset about it. If he were just Misty's friend, wouldn't he be happy for her?
When Ash was taking the test for his Gym battle, he saw Rudy giving Misty flowers and called out Charizard by mistake. Remember how determined Ash was about Gym Badges in the earlier parts of the series? What Rudy was doing with Misty was more important to him than getting that Badge.
I think that Ash was so determined to beat Rudy for two reasons. One, to get the Badge. Two, to impress Misty.
Misty chose to go with Ash instead of stay with Rudy. This is important becasue she could have been very happy with him, had she chosen to stay. Misty wanted to be with Ash instead.
Rudy called Ash "a very lucky guy" and we all know what he meant by that! Ash is lucky because he has Misty. :3

It's impossible to ignore what was. If Pokeshipping did become canon, the anime would lose fans, but there are so many hints that you can't deny that they have both felt slightly attractted to each other at one point or another. Ash and Misty have a season and a movoe with the sub theme being the idea of them as a couple! No other couple has had that! If you take the more mature Ash we have now and put him with Misty, who has also matured, then their relationship would grow a lot!

You know how I promised a graphic a while ago? Well I made it, but forgot to post it ^^"

I agree except for one thing (since in the Japanese version there is a slight difference in dialogue but it's still Pokeshippy xD)

Rudy and Ash's conversation went like this...

Rudy: Take care of Misty
Ash: Take care of her? How?
Rudy: You really are a clueless guy..

Ohhh Ash, you poor dense child xD Anyway, I read somewhere that what Rudy means by "take care of" is basically like when a husband takes care of his wife...So Rudy is, along with Team Rocket, one of the characters who hinted at Ash and Misty getting married...Many fans love the hint in the Heartbreak of Brock however in the original Japanese Misty just says that Temacu (sp) fell in love with Brock at first sight. But, I'm sure everyone will enjoy the original Japanese version of the famous scene where Ash and Misty get caught in a cage and Team Rocket teases them for being love birds...In the original, instead of calling them "love birds" they said that they ran away to elope...Now why would Ash and Misty blush about something that isn't true? Think about it, obviously they weren't going to get married, but they looked at each other and immediately blush, turn away, and deny it...Oh pokeshipping, how i love you so xD

Lol, do you know how many people tried a petition? just google "pokemon petition Misty" or something.

You know, in the Netherlands we have a saying, "meisjes plagen, kusjes vragen", which means as much as "Teasing girls is asking for kisses". indeed, it seems teasing is considered a way to show affection at that age around the globe.

For me, pokeshipping is a special ship. I've been fan of other ships, but always lost interest after a few weeks. I've been a serious pokeshipper now since April and my love for ship hasn't been sinking in at all. I actually love pokeshipping to the pooint where I decided not to watch any episodes that don't have Misty in them.

[Kasumi_HiME]

Yeah, Misty will always be the first girl Ash traveled with ^^ And that alone I think is really special. What bothers me is that Pokemon was originally suppose to end after the first movie and even with a possiblity of Ash/Misty being cannon as shown in this video...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b70GRNYnacI
Later that trailer was scrapped. Misty looks so much older in that video, so it's obviously set into the future.

Even though the video is over a decade old, it's nice to read the theories of that video and what Pokeshipping was suppose to become. It really does give me hope that Ash was really meant for Misty and always will be.

Rudy: Take care of Misty
Ash: Take care of her? How?
Rudy: You really are a clueless guy..

Ash really is so clueless! I suppose its a bad combination of being too dense and being young. Maybe someday he will finally get it xD
Ash gets so defensive with anything hinting towards him and Misty being a couple. I think if he truly didn't like her, he wouldn't get so defensive and wouldn't bother him so much, haha. That's why I love pokeshipping though. They tease each other so much. They are simply in denial!

All of you guys are so great ^_^ as long as we all support this couple, I don't think I will ever give up.
