Calm down, Karen.Can I please have an explanation as to why the bloody hell we can't have any names for any potential SwSh shippings involving Ash right now?! It's honestly infuriating me.
The list documents the name people use to refer to a pairing. It doesn't exist to force people to use a particular name, and it certainly doesn't exist for people in naming threads on Bulbagarden or Serebii to preempt a larger community. I'm not documenting the first name to file if it has 3 results on Google and a name selected by that pairing's community has 1,500. These threads exist to name the pairings that don't have a community to name it themselves. No one is preventing anyone from naming the rarepairs that make up 99.9% of the list. If you want to name Ash and a completely random character of the day from SWSH, be my guest. If you want to name Ash and a major character in the anime, or a major character in the games who can reasonably be foreseen to be a major character in the anime, that's where I have to defer and allow that pairing's bona fide supporters to name it. If 25 episodes into the series, Gloria hasn't appeared at all and there's no Ash & Gloria community, I'll be sure to document according to usage and who filed first.
