• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

Amourshipping Thread V3

Let's face it, the real threat to amour

kiss_0.jpg
and we're lucky it wasn't brought up today.

Honestly this is the only hope for amour rn

I feel like after MPM 11, Ash's journey will take place mostly in movies moving forward and that's Yajima's field. Even if Amour will only be canon in movies, that's better than nothing.

Well I'm fine as long as amour doesn't sink


Well as long as the rival ship are no blatant moments in both sides amour is still the closest to canon

Meh, I get you and other shippers are more passionate about your preferred pairing, but I'd much rather prefer that something got confirmed/pushed forward as the canon pairing.

Amour wins by default for being the farthest ahead is not what anyone expected when XY ended.

"Which shipping do we make canon?"
"....what shipping?"
".....Alright, none of the above then"

And the shipping wars continues for eons

Pretty much.

Also, they're definitely keeping Ash in the wings, either to bring him back as a protagonist or for future specials/movies, so maybe companions will return then.

I mean, by this point, Misty's relationship with Ash has been leaning heavily into platonic territory since she never does anything to one-up Serena.

I mean, Misty also has the last shipping hint in the show (end of MPM02), basically making it so the shipping wars will never die.

would be cool to see shinkai-esque pokemon movie like Your Name or Weather With You
Well there are a lot of parallels: between Taki/mitsuha and Ash and Serena:
- After last seeing each other in late 2016 they reunited at April 8 2022
- The blue ribbon = The red kumihimo

I'm pretty sure most of us here prefer having a canon pairing than open ended

To be fair, given what we know now, even I’ve come to acknowledge that MPM02 was just blatant fan service to sucker people like me into watching through to the end. I guess it technically doesn’t make the hint any less valid, but still tainted a bit.

lmao, we're basically back to square one, keep assuming when will Serena return, what is the future of Amour, will the kiss ever be addressed again?, etc.

This to me sounds like that's the way they intended it to be. I doubt the writers are ready to fully retire Ash yet. Even though he's not the main character of the anime anymore, he could simply star in a separate movie or a special episode and if the anime doesn't do well, then Ash could just return as a main character again.

Anyway, 10th anniversary of XY game/anime this year. We'll see if there's something by then.

Well at least you guys got a whole episode dedicated to ash and misty alone while we only got a 30 second reunion without any kind of follow up

That's fair. Obviously, you guys got screwed all around here and I can't deny that. Just slightly salty that they basically manipulated me into caring about this series.

Jesus, I'm getting old.

Tbf they got screwed just as much. Misty was present throughout MPM02-MPM11 and we still don’t have an explicit confirmation of sorts on Misty’s side. (Assuming MPM02 ever had romantic hints which i still don’t buy to this day)

Not even a confession (in a cutesy tsundere fashion) or something which is sad tbh.

So while MPM02 had the last "hint", in the end it wasn’t enough to surpass the kiss.

Not to mention we got to see Ash and Misty's classic dynamic for exactly one episode, and for the rest of the series Misty was a glorified prop.

Imagine expecting a confession now of all times...lmao. They didn't do it back in OS, why would they do it now?

Lol yeah.

When it’s one thing out of all the episode would you even call it a romantic hint when everything else says otherwise? Or is it just being embarassed to ask to go along someone you got into drawn out roast fight with and had nothing to do with romance? Though i guess that isn’t really a tooic for this thread.

But well there was no way we were getting any final ship when the writers couldn’t even bother to really finish up ash’s goal of 26 years. So we can only be happy with what we got.

At least the fanarts are still going strong for now, but it’ll be a question of how long that’ll last as well.

"Now you know how we amourshippers felt when we were baited when Serena returned!"

*ahem*

Just Yuyama staying true to Misty's original role in the anime, to just be an "eye-candy"

- The blue ribbon = The red kumihimo
All that's needed is for Ash and Serena to swap bodies. (Where's that damn Manaphy when you need it?)

It seems like r/amourshipping is still high on copium

Yeah best thing we can do is to keep the fandom alive though fan works
