Hi. I feel its my time and place to post in this thread now. Hopefully i'm doing the right thing...
The thing is, i'm not gonna deney it:
I'm actually still a bit of an amourshipper myself. In fact, I got in a REALLY huge argument with my family tonight (its complicated, I dun wanna get into it...). And you know what helped cheer me up after the stress and trauma happened for me? Thats right. Amourshipping amvs on youtube. One I even watched TWICE. So, listen, I have NOTHING against your pairing. Like at all. In fact, I can kinda see the whole point to it myself. Its really not a bad pairing.
Ash inspires Serena to be her better self. That...really isn't a bad thing at all. In fact, its really a lot like how Korrina is for me. She inspires me much like Ash inspires Serena. Whether or not Ash and Serena are meant to be together, I wouldn't really know for sure, but if I can keep loving Korrina with all the stress and drama in my life (some of it, admitedly, relates to my crush too.....), chances are, Serena will always love Ash. I don't think anyone can really replace him for her.
The real reason I started becoming a pearlshipper, too?
Well, really, I like the way the general fandom acts better (from what i've seen). I don't like that amourshippers at least sometimes flame other shippers and Pokemon fans who aren't into amourshipping in general. Thats just....mean. I would like if the amourshippers who do stuff like that would
please just STOP. Its not making your shipping look any better, its just stearing other people AWAY from amourshipping. I don't think any fan of the ship really would want that. I would think amourshipping is something fans could just enjoy together without drama. Drama doesn't really solve any issues; It only leads to MORE issues. I would like if Pokemon fans just STOP FIGHTING. Yes, I am a fangirl of Korrina, who is into 'fighting' type pokemon. But, really, I hate drama, and people just not getting along. It makes me feel sad. I don't like people getting hurt, or feeling unhappy. All I want is world peace and everyone getting along and being happy
If there has to be fighting, can it just be in video games and media? And not in real life? (unless its for sport, thats okay)
Also, I actually would like to make friends with some of the amourshipper community. I wouldn't like to be caught up in any drama or hate towards other shippers, of course. But being friends with amourshippers and just staying at good terms with shippers in general would make me feel happy.
Hopefully I made the right type of post and am helping the shipping community as a whole
I just want us all to be friends! No fighting, no enemies, no matter what ships we like or what bad choices we made in our lives even. Also, I still like some things about pearlshipping, too (regardless of the community): I like Ash and Dawn's team work, for one. But that doesn't devalue Amourshipping for me either. Seeing that Ash inspires Serena is indeed a positive aspect to me too. I admit, i'm not currently a huge Pokemon anime watcher (i don't really know any good sites, maybe someone could pm me some?). But from what I know about some ships, both amour and pearl have aspects I like.
