Not necessarily a revival, but more of a restoration. Maybe, raise awareness for some of the younger fans? That was more what I had in mind. I'm changing the name of the initiate to "Advanceshipping restoration project"

Advanceshipping isn't dead. It probably will never die, but it's popularity has waned a bit due to the advent of the incredibly popular Amourshipping, which has been pretty active thanks to the nature of the Episodes of the XY season. Amourshipping is more popular because it's new. Anything new gets the most "fans" but most jump on the bandwagon

Amourshipping is more popular because it's new. Anything new gets the most "fans" but most jump on the bandwagon While that may be true, Amourshipping is a special case imo, as it's highly prolific in nature, in terms of its hints, and especially in terms of Serena, who's crush on Ash is much more obvious than Misty, May, Dawn, and Iris. Advanceshipping isn't the only pairing experiencing this slump, due to Amourshipping, practically every other Ash pairing has lost traction due to this new player, that's aiming for the top. Back when BW was new, I didn't remember Negaishipping causing this much of a ruckus within the community. In fact, the only one to rival the Amourshipping storm, was Advanceshipping, back when it was new in 2002. That was before it became clear that our hints were fewer in number than the other Ash shippings at the time (despite the high quality of hints, whenever they dropped). This seems more one-sided than anything

I think one of the big reasons why those other threads on other forums aren't as active is because a lot of us migrated over here. xD Every now and then we'll head on over to other forums for post challenges, which is essentially just something we do to try to spark as much discussion as possible in other Advanceshipping threads. This usually happens in the summer, when a lot of us are online at once in the middle of the night. We began doing this not long after we created this forum. You can read a little more here: advancers.proboards.com/thread/185/post-challenge-funThis forum itself shows that our community is active. We created this place to talk about Advanceshipping, yes, but it goes beyond that! We've all become very close because of this one thing we have in common. We're friends, we're family. This space has become a safe haven for so many people to talk to other like minded individuals. Many people from our generation have outgrown Pokemon or have moved on to other fandoms. And, true, a lot of new fans are into the current ships. But a lot of us are still here. And we're all so close! There are, of course, going to be periods of more activity and periods of less activity. Just keep contributing any way that you can. Discuss topics, write fanfics, draw fanart, make AMVs. Leaving reviews for people's creative work is especially encouraging! Whatever you can do, keep doing it. And of course, don't forget that this community goes a lot further than just one ship. Don't hesitate to explore other things around here!

Of course I know all the ships are one sided, but I mentioned Amour since it's what we were discussing at the time. There was no point in bringing up the others if we were just talking about Amour
