I agree with all the shipping potential in Mystery Dungeon games! I think a lot of my love for those games comes from them being the first ones to show Pokemon as characters with interesting backstories, relationships and emotions...And, yes, I too harbour a love for hero/partner, in whatever form <3 I think my fave is Pikachu (me)/Chikorita (partner), because that was the first combination I played with and they're two of my faves anyway so slightly biased XD and yeah, Grovyle/Celebi was really cute! Wigglytuff/Chatot remains the PMD2 pairing of my heart though~
@PokeGirl: you're welcome! *hugs back* ^^ and d'awww, they have babies!! That is just too adorable <3 Deerling/Cyndaquil is a cute idea too! WarmSeasonshipping, I like ^.^ I always see Cyndaquil as quiet, so if Deerling's shy too they could be adorably awkward together :3 (And I can't wait to see the random pairings from the generator XD)
@Kutie Pie: *continues staring back*...*falls over* damnit, you win XD;;
But because pairings tend to be from fans, the fans that want to share the pairing with others will need to have a convincing argument, in a way. You know? The thought of incest turns away maaaaany people (and I'm pretty sure a tiny percentage of Mewshippers support it as such like all other incest pairings), which is probably why Mewshipping isn't wide-spread due to the fact people associate it with the games more than with the anime (and they tend to bring that same argument over despite games =/= anime). Next to the fact Pokémon pairings tend to not be as popular as the human pairings anyway.
yep, that's definitely true! I like being sold on pairings I wouldn't otherwise have thought of by good fic, or just hearing other people's reasoning, it's part of the fun ^^ and yeah...I see how seeing it as incest would turn some people off (obviously I've been ruined being in fandoms with super popular incest pairings, because my default reaction to "but it's incest!!!" is pretty much "yeah...and?" :X). regardless of the genetics, though, Mew and Mewtwo weren't raised as family and they definitely don't have a conventional family dynamic - either siblings or parent/child - which is what interests me about the pairing. And yeah, games and anime are different canons, but some people seem to have trouble understanding that -_-
By the way, as cliché as it is, I do like your explanation for the Whiscash/Milotic pairing, at least for two specific characters.
Hee, thanks ^.^ yeah, I was worried I was going a bit far into fanfic territory with that, but that's just one way I could see the pairing as characters...When you think about it, every Pokemon is a different character so you can have the same PxP ship but with entirely different characters/dynamic/gender ratio. I think that's why a lot of ships are from the anime or Mystery Dungeon where they have distinct personalities, or people shipping their own Pokemon from the games with different ideas/headcanons about their personalities. So many possibilities, it's wonderful~~
Aww, cute Froakie/Sylveon pic! For names, I rather like Kutie Pie's BowFrogshipping X3 or perhaps something like Waternymphshipping, for the whole water/fairy thing? sorry, my naming skills are gonna need some time to get back in action ^^;; (My favourite Sylveon ship is Sylveon/Umbreon, though, gotta say. More of the opposites attract thing, and my two looked so pretty together on X I kind of fell in love with the idea c: Sylveon/Espeon/Umbreon works, too...idk if any of those are named. Oh, that can be a topic if anyone wants one:
What Pokemon do you ship with Sylveon?
There does absolutely need to be more PxP shipping fics...I wrote one forever ago, for a gift - it was Gypsyshipping (Quilava/Kirlia), which I never considered before but ended up quite liking when I was done with the fic XD I really should write some MarvelWhiskershipping sometime...hopefully I will get around to it one day, as well as the 394507 other fics I'm not currently writing ^^;
