Amourshipping Thread V3

[Epicocity]

It's a ship in a TV show that has never focused on ships.

Please don't take it that seriously...

Was Ash really jealous of Rudy's affections to Misty, or was he just frustrated that Rudy was not giving his attention to him on the battlefield?

Frustrated, I'd say

But not going to lie, with the small pushes from 4Kids localization + some anime magazines from here pushing it, I thought it was the other way around back in the day.

With the exception of Iris (and I think Mallow, though can't remember if there was any) I think Ash has been ship teased in at least some way with all his female traveling companions (if not an outright crush, then some other characters say thinking him and his female companion a couple). With the above discussion, whether or not Misty was crushing on Ash, it can't be denied from the way things were set up that there was some subtle tease.

I think he was teased with Mallow in SM’s first episode.
And Chloe? Was he ship teased with her?

Was Ash really jealous of Rudy's affections to Misty, or was he just frustrated that Rudy was not giving his attention to him on the battlefield? He remained oblivious to Rudy's words about being lucky to have Misty. And the whole blushing after the whole Team Rocket teasing is again an example of embarassament showing. Imagine hanging out with your friend and then all of a sudden, a bunch of people start insisting that you two are an item. You would be embarrassed and then immediately deny it. It's also an example of why blushing doesn't actually lead to romantic endgame. It shows they are capable of forming a romance, but it won't actually assure it.

Ash reciprocating Serena's feelings have to make sense to Ash's character. What we know of Ash's character is that he loves everyone and thus doesn't understand why romantic love would be more special. All he knows of romantic love is that it's that everyone is more happy. Thus, for Ash to reciporacate Serena's feelings is for him to be unusually happier with her than with any other companion. He wouldn't know it consciously, but his subconscious would as seen with the twinkles in his eyes.

The love epiphany he would have is something for him to realize when he's grown up... or maybe when he reencounters Serena again since this is the last series featuring Ash.

yeah, I also just wish that Serena had a long lasting impact on Ash just like how Ash had a long lasting impact on her

Unfortunately, that’s just not possible for a mostly static character whose development ended years ago, and is no longer allowed to develop further in any meaningful or permanent way.

Serena did have a long lasting impact on Ash, it just disappeared after XYZ ended, same where his character development went.
Heck even BW has more Ash character development compared to SM and JN… I’m fully expecting Ash to get little to no development in these final episodes because “HES GOTTA ACT 10”

The best thing Pokemon ever introduced was Amourshipping

Makes you wonder how would 4 kids handle amourshipping if they're still at the helm.

Did you know that the french dub did a huge edit ? In XY060 Ash literally said to Serena « The ribbon is the same color as your eyes, it’s so beautiful »

That’s the only big change the dub did for Amour afaik and it was in french lmao

Are most of the anipoke YouTubers still amourshippers? I remember back in the XY days there were a lot of amour discussions among prominent anipoke YouTubers also 3 years ago LumioseTrainerZac made a video where he ranked amour as the number 1 ash ship now he seems indifferent to it based on his tweets I also remember KGprestige fawning about XY back then now he seems to hate it.

Amour one big drawback - it's fans. And it's lack of a satisfying resolution for Ash. <ahem>

Amour has two big drawbacks. It's fans, it's lack of a satisfying resolution for Ash, and it's perceived one-sideness.

I'll start again

Are these people still prominent? I remember KGPrestige from years ago, but I honestly forgot he even existed until you mentioned his name.

also, another drawback is the anime's adherence to the game's status quo since red doesn't have any romantic interest. Unless Confidentshipping(Red x Game Serena) becomes canon in gen 10 or at least masters

Serena giving up her crush and shipping Misty and Ash would be a crime against humanity. Not happening.

List of YouTubers:
Raf is neutral but leaning towards anti
Zanolith and Aleximo I’m pretty sure dislike Amour
Charusaru ships Amour
PRB12 ships Amour (duh)

KG had copyright issues so he switched to discussing in streams, that's probably why
