I felt hopeless after "Spontaneous Combusken" ! However After thinking clearly , I realize Advanceshipping has some hope. Specially after seeing this From some reason , I can't think of the idea that both half of Terracota ribbon will be remain separate forever even after Ash & May dies. Considering the 9th movie , I guess there were writers who wanted Advanceshipping to be Canon. Also , Married life of two Top Coordinator might be messy.

How do you feel about advanceshipping and how has it changed since you first started shipping it? Nothing. Just my belief on it has strengthened. I still preach advanceshipping just like day one.

Besides may deserves someone better than that stupid,self-centered jerk. She deserves ash.

Besides may deserves someone better than that stupid,self-centered jerk. She deserves ash. The problem is , May's story is handled like an Ideal Shoujo Anime. Where A insure and clumsy Girl find a Dream/Goal and change herself ! That Why Tomioka want her to end up with Drew. Because Shoujo Anime Protagonist always end up with Hot , handsome and shining guy like Drew ! They never end up with Ugly or Average-looking guy like Ash .
Even if there any Shoujo Anime where The Protagonist pick an Average-looking guy , It doesn't become popular because Shoujo Anime are mainly for girls and they doesn't like the Protagonist picking an Average-looking or Ugly guy over a Hot guy. Worst part is , Writers able to create an ideal Shoujo story with May But they couldn't create an idea Shouene story with Ash. PS : Ash is not Ugly But he's not very hot or handsome ether ! He's an average looking boy with spiky hair and Two Z underneath his eye.

It feel impossible ! Because May herself show feeling for someone else. It make watching AG series harder and painful. I can no longer watch any AG episode in peace unless Advanceshipping shows a hint that even stronger then Contestshipping hint. Don;t worry, they'll be tons of hints later on! Are you just starting to watch AG, or have you seen it already? I already watched it ! Now , I can just hope for May to reappear in Pokémon Sun & Moon to provide a hint that she doesn't like Drew in a Romantic way. Plus , Just try to imagine married life of Two Top Coordinator.

As you said Shoujo anime was basically for girls but Pokemon is loved by boys as well as girls. The only boy which was cool in Pokémon was Paul!

I stumbled across Advanceshipping quite by accident. I'd atarted watching XY and thought Amourshupping was cute, so I looked for Amourshipping fanfic but couldn't find many. I ended up finding (you guessed it) May's Crush (still wish he'd finish the sequel...), then gerbilftw and shiny gengar (now blue is the new red)'s fanfics, and I got conflicted. Then I watched pokemon movie 6 and I decided that May was a better character than Serena (and I still do). (seems like serena was obsessed, not in love). As for the contestshipping hints jn season 9, I always saw them as being "wait drew can be nice? and he gave me a rose? i know what that means." (she's not ash lol) but that fact that she doesn't accept Drew means that she doesn't want to be with Drew. Drew just becomes a friendly rival, but nothing more. She still remembers all the noncomstructive criticism Drew gave her and what it means for his personality. Besides, May's contest style is like Ash's, so in every contest she competes in, she's reminded of Ash (fanfiction oneshot prompt there?) I think she went to Johto to prove her skills: since Drew's gojng there, if she can beat Drew, she'll prove herself to be a good coordinator and can finally shut up Drew. I think she does: that's why Drew didn't get invited to the event in Sinnoh (the name of which suddenly escapes me). Anyway, I'm now a loyal Advanceshipper (as you might be able to tell by my name), and I mau be busy now, but I should be ale to start writing next summer!

Purely based on the ship itself, Advance and Amour are fighting between #1 and #2 for me. The community here, on the other hand, always has been and likely always will be #1. In all brutal honesty, watching the XY series, I lose faith in the possibility of AdvanceShipping as canon, and at this point, I'd honestly take any resolution aside from Ash's typical "Relationship? What's that? That's just being best friends right?" (BW029 for reference) But for every bit that fades in canon, it's more than made up for by the supporters. It is worth mentioning, though, that the League is finishing in Japan by the end of next month, and they still need to make the series last until Sun and Moon launches in November. Iris hasn't come back yet, so it's possible they'll slap her in right at the end. In the same way, the ORAS launch wasn't acknowledged at all, unlike FRLG and HGSS before it. There is at least a remote possibility that May will re-appear briefly for an episode or two, either at the same time as Iris or independently.

We're almost done with the Kalos League, and then after that, it's Team Flare. Not sure what else is left to fill in other than the inevitable goodbyes and Ash learning about Alola.

After the most recently announced episode in Japan, if we assume that XY will run to the release of SM like BW did for XY, there are 12 episodes left to be announced. I highly doubt that the Team Flare arc will last for more than another 4 episodes, and the goodbyes/I'm-going-to-region-X has never taken more than two episodes. That leaves six for whatever the writters have in mind. I doubt it will be filled this way, but it would be nice nonetheless. I am a bit disappointed that XY is taking the 140-episode length like BW instead of the 190 like AG and DP.

I'm sure if those games were announced in 2017 rather than this year, we'd have a sweet four-year Kalos arc like we did back in the AG/DP days. (And therefore, more time for May and/or Iris to make cameos.)

Still, I would've much rather had 190 episodes of XY and a fall 2017 SM release. Gen VII can wait if it means the best anime series in a long time can have a fourth season. I didn't have this issue with BW since the entirety of the last season was filler, but this is down to the wire.

Advanceshipping is definitely the ship I care about the most.
