Palletshipping is the romance between Ash and Gary. Some people don't like this kind because they don't see too many hints, but I have some hints.

On the episode where Ash and the gang go to a city and the electricity in the entire city runs out, (this is in a johto league champions episode) they have to go to the powerplant and turn on the electricity because team rocket turned it off. Here's the cute thing:

While Ash tried as hard as he could to turn the crank that opens the dam, he couldn't do it, so Gary actually goes over to him and puts his hands on his to help him! *fangirl squeal*

Another hint is on that episode where Ash fights Gary in the Silver League (It's a johto episode as usual). On the night after Ash defeats Gary, he finds Gary by himself standing by a lake. Ash goes over and tries to comfort him about the loss of the battle. Gary thanks him and gives him an item (looks like a half broken pokeball). But get this- Gary actually takes Ash's hands in his own! Here's the episode:

The actual part starts on minute 8:59. Don't worry. It's the correct link this time XD Sorry.

Oooh Shigeru x Satoshi! ^__^

An awesome pairing in my opinion.(even though I like a lot of rival ships) I love the pictures. *saves them all*

Thanks! I think that this must be my favorite shippy of all! Well besides pokeshippy. And I've finally got a good topic! It may be a little off the actual subject, but it's just something I have to know!

Who would you prefer over both of them? Ash or Gary?

I would pick Ash. Even though Gary is cute, Ash has a well-rounded personality and he is very caring to anybody, even those he disliked. He may not be the most handsome in the world (In the anime. In the manga he's adorable) but I still love him. ^_^

I'm not exactly sure I'm a PalletShipper or not, as I've always been a fan of PokéShipping, but here lately I've found it to be a very....intruiging coupling, and if Shigeru were to return rather than Kasumi, I'd probably become a fully-fledged shipper. There's a site I found once with a LOT of information about PalletShipping that really convinced me; it made a lot of sense.

Who would you prefer over both of them? Satoshi or Shigeru?
I'm not really sure this is a shippy question, as it doesn't involve their relationship at all, but I would choose Shigeru without a second though. Satoshi is.....not the brightest fellow in the world, not necessarily the most handsome either. Shigeru, on the other hand, has a great personality, underneath his rough exterior that is, has that cool demeanor that keeps him basically calm in any circumstance, and he's a heck of a lot more handsome than Satoshi.

Shigeru! He's so cute and it kind of sucks that he gets trampled everytime because of Satoshi's dreams ((He is kind of in the wayy)).

Oh yay, I found this thread! I'm not a die-hard fan of this pairing but it's absolutely my favourite one. ^^ I've always been into slash.

And about that preferring question, I have to pick Gary/Shigeru. Definitively. ^^

There's some super great fics about them at fanfiction.net, they've got their own C2! you should check it out! :}

This pairing got me into slash. Hahah. XDD And I mean before it was cool in a crazy way. Now we've got fangirls screaming YAOI and random fan Japanese everywhere. -.-

I never thought of it until I came across a Palletshippy site that convinced me. It's cute. I really adore this rival ship. (I was going to say most rival ships, then I remembered I'm not into Contestshipping XD)

Who would you prefer over both of them? Satoshi or Shigeru?
Satoshi! I've always loved him since third grade. @_@; -shot for loserness- Although I do admit sometimes here and there I don't think about him, but it's had its revivals. He's like, my hero. I think it's love. <33 -shot-

I don't recognize any names here, but are any of you by any chance members of the Yahoo! shishi group? I’m not the owner, but I have to say it’s the best place for palletshippers to get together and chat about our favorite pokemon pairing and share stories, pictures, and other great shishi material. Anyhow, here’s the link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/shishi/ You have to be approved before you can view any material/post, but you should have no trouble being accepted. :)

Over the years, I’ve also collected a wide variety of great shishi sites that have artwork and fanfiction you wouldn’t believe. A lot of the artwork sites are in Japanese, but with a little trial and error, it’s not too hard to stumble upon galleries of shishi goodness! I’ll share a couple now, and maybe some later too if there’s interest:

Who would you prefer over both of them? Satoshi or Shigeru?
You’re asking me to make one of those choices where it’s a lose/lose scenario because I want both! Ah well, since that’s not an option I’d probably prefer Satoshi just because he’s the kind of guy that I’d be happy with just being held in his arms - or holding him in mine. Satoshi also has a certain innocence when it comes to life, and I find that adorable.

Now, I have a question of my own I’d like to ask:
Who do you prefer as the uke(submissive) and who do you prefer as the seme(dominant)? Or do you prefer an equal relationship?

Personally, I like to read stories where Satoshi and Shigeru have an equal relationship and they both have lives outside of their relationship. We all know how easy it is to rile up Satoshi, and I’d like to think that Shigeru would still be able to get under his skin. I don’t like stories that basically have Shigeru “take charge” of both their lives and Satoshi is stuck home with Pikachu.

I <3 Palletshipping to death. It was this pairing that got me into slash to begin with. I don't know what it is...but this ship screams "cuteness". I loved Master Quest. Gary had matured...he still said things to get Ashy-boy riled up, but he wasn't nearly as mean-spirited. Then the two kept having these moonlight conversations in private, where Gary spoke of "all kinds of possibilities waiting for the two of us in the future..." and, of course, we learn that since before the very first episode, Ash and Gary have been carrying around one half of a broken Pokeball.

My favorite Palletshipping hint of all time is when Brock returned and was acting all emo over Professor Ivy when her name was mentioned. Ash doesn't understand why he's acting that way....so Misty says Gary's name and Ash does the exact same emo thing. Priceless.

Palletshipping was my first slash pairing too, but strangely enough, I've never taken a liking to any other slash/yaoi pairing. Not that it really matters, since this ship has practically everything I could want in a ship - the hotness (Shigeru) and cuteness (Satoshi) factors, the teasing (nobody can get under Satoshi's skin like Shigeru), the underlying feelings they have for each other (whenever one of them is in danger, the other comes to their rescue), and so on. The wonderful world of fan fiction has only helped to strengthen my love for this ship. Such angst and drama! Some writers out there are simply phenomenal (LeikaLai (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/845443/) comes to mind).

The moonlight conversation was one of my favorite palletshipping moments! I especially like the part where Shigeru takes Satoshi's hand as he smiles and compliments Satoshi. It seems like the Silver Conference episodes were just *full* of great Palletshipping moments - besides the moonlight conversation, there was also Satoshi's line about him wanting to win the Silver Conference for both him and Shigeru, and , of course, the half of a pokeball that they each carry around with them. There was also that moment that Shigeru mentioned that he was going to quit training and become a researcher and Satoshi looked so sad and disappointed! Finally, there was that one scene where Prof. Oak and Delia have a short conversation about how important Satoshi and Shigeru are to each other, even if neither of which will openly admit it. I'm so glad I have all these episodes on tape!

You picked a great palletshipping hint... it's funny how on more than one occasion, the writers made it so that Satoshi's reaction to Shigeru mirrors Takeshi's reaction to a girl/girls he has the hots for. That happened in the episode you mentioned, but it also happened in the Dig Those Diglett episode. Seems like a subtle hint to me!

A new favorite hint of mine is from...

one of the later AG episodes where Satoshi receives a postcard from Shigeru. Their conversation was translated by a Japanese member of our shishi group:
Shigeru: Pull yourself together, Satoshi-kun.
Satoshi: Shi-Shigeru.
Shigeru: You beat me.
Is it alright for you to keep on losing like this?
Satoshi: I know.
Shigeru: Really? Then you have to hurry up and move forward.
Satoshi: I will win! I'll definitely win next time!
Shigeru: Cause I don't have time to stand around with you to wait.
<End postcard scene>
Haruka: What is it Satoshi?
Satoshi: That's right, there is no time to stand around. All right, I'll do it!
Masato: Now he's suddenly full of energy.
Satoshi: Of course I am! With everyone cheering me on like this, I wouldn't be a man if I didn't get fired up!
Enishida: Satoshi-kun's finally acting like himself again.
Ookido: Shigeru is my grandson and Satoshi's rival. In times like this, he's the best medicine for Satoshi.
Enishida: I see

I think it’s great that the writers haven’t forgotten how important Satoshi and Shigeru are to each other. Rivals or not, it’s obvious that Shigeru’s respect and recognition is very important to Satoshi, and Satoshi’s determination is partly a result of his need to prove himself to Shigeru. At least, it's obvious to me...
