probably most of the other guys know i was never really interested in advanceshipping or the fandom but regardless this community was a pretty cool place to be a part of despite not really being a lot involved in the whole 'shipping' thing

KMT4ever agreed with tentio! Whenever you get an idea, jot it down immediately (take it from someone with a memory of a goldfish 😔). Whenever you get the time, you'll have some ideas to go through at least so you're not completely blank with writer's block. And I've been trying to do the same thing with the games, I feel so lost not knowing most of the pokemon after X/Y 😭

Am I seeing a bit of activity? 👀 Anyways, glad to see some new people coming up and showing interest in stuff, I used to be a relatively hyperactive advanceshipper a few years ago with great enthusiasm of making advancers and the whole advanceshipping scean active again, but I did not get any people of the same generation back then who could support me, we had Hailey and Dark , and we three used to be the ones who had a significant contribution in reactivating the forum again sometime around 2020, but things went dull again after 2021 as all of us became busy again due to irl, and older fellas are well... Older fellas, so yeahh, as Aqua said, there weren't a lot of newer people to take up the baton, 3 people can't do a shit honestly. And at this point since Ash is gone, and someone like me, who used to be crazy for advanceshipping just a few years ago, has lost almost all interest in Everything, things seem a bit too dull now to be revived honestly... Yep. Interest in things tend to fluctuate over time. I used to read fanfiction a lot a few years ago before I took a huge break from the Pokemon fandom in general. After a few years, I'm back and as interested as ever. That's just the way things work, of course. It's definitely sad to see Advanceshipping community lose activity and discussion, but I know it's far from dead. Is it dying? Perhaps, but there's still plenty of life left in the community. I'm very interested in trying to revive the fandom, at least to the best of my ability. I've started writing fanfiction in the last 2 months, and I'll say that I've gotten a surprising amount of attention. There's still plenty of people interested in the fandom, and I've even had some people PM me to say they love how I'm trying to keep the fandom alive. I've even met a friend or two that I consistently talk to based on our mutual interest in the pairing. I've created a discord for Advanceshipping and gotten a few members, though I'm still trying to stoke some consistent discussion, but I think I'll get there eventually. Overall, there's still a decent bit of fanart, fanfiction, and AMVs being created (mostly by a few consistent people). And as long as I'm around and I have the time, the fandom is not dead. I'd like to see a little more life into it eventually, but I'll be patient, even if it gets a little lonely sometimes. I'm also still holding out a little bit of hope that we haven't seen the last of Ash (and perhaps May?!) Definitely, it's not dead yet, And I really appreciate your efforts, as far as fanfiction and me are concerned, I almost read all famous Advanceshipping fanfics between 2020 and 2022, we had lockdown and I had nothing else to do, so yeahhh, but right now I'm not much active on that site as well due to the fact that I'm about to be a tenth grader pretty soon and tenth in India is... More or less, hell. I believe the best advanceshipping fanfiction currently ongoing was "The Chosen One's Wrath" by LegionZ, but it hasn't been updated since December 2022, and I used to be in regular touch with the author, but I haven't received any response whatsoever since then, and I believe there are no chances of revival of that fanfic honestly at this point, same with DarkSlash9 and his "Fellowship of Aura", Personally I think, Gerbilftw deleting his account and all his fanfics did deprive us of a lot of potential advanceshippers, I don't know if you have read his fanfics but if you have, you must get what I'm talking about. I do plan to come back to the reading scean once I'm done with my school, and medical preparation, but that's not gonna happen for another 3 years, so yeah... Life's pretty much dull at the moment in the online scean.

Life's pretty much dull at the moment in the online scean. Of course! Funnily enough, it was reading, "The Chosen One's Wraith," that really got me into the fanfiction scene! In all truth, getting to the end of that story and not seeing an update for over a year was absolutely devastating, as it was quite possibly the most intriguing and well thought out fanfiction I've ever read. I hope LegionZ is doing alright though, perhaps he finished college and simply doesn't have the time anymore. Darkslash9 is also a great author, I've read both of his finished stories. I haven't read of Gerbilftw though. I read Basic Trainer's super long story but that hasn't received an update in about 4 months or so. I've been reading pretty much whatever Advanceshipping stories I can find, and honestly by the time I've read them all, I'll probably have forgotten the first ones so I can reread them lol. Other than that, I'm making my own stories! Hopefully by the time you're back into fanfiction in 3 years or so, I'll have multiple stories published and Advanceshipping will be here to stay!

Big welcome to the site! Yes, I've also felt like advanceshipping has died down, it's pretty sad honestly But not seeing too much on it + dealing with the realities of life kinda makes one put it aside, ya know? Still nice to see the activity on here, though. Maybe one day it can make a comeback lol

Regardless of the state of the Advanceshipping fandom, I’m grateful we at least got to see a bit of May before Ash’s journey concluded. After all these years we got to learn that she still cared about him and kept up with his endeavors. The intense face she had while watching Ash battle Leon said it all. I found it pretty ironic that she shared the moment with Serena of all people lol. It was a satisfying cameo and allows for Advanceshippers to interpret the moment in whatever way suits them. I don’t know if we’ll see Ash return any time soon, but Advanceshipping will never truly die as long as its fans exist. There are still stories getting written and fan art of Ash and May being drawn, so even though we’re not in the Advanced Generation era anymore I think it speaks volumes that new content still gets produced. The only thing we can do is enjoy it now!

advance4eva Likewise! Everything you said pretty much sums up my thoughts entirely and what keeps me going. Happy to see other viewpoints similar to mine. On another note, I read Man in The Mirror. Great job on that story!

Great job on that story! Wait... I remember reading Man in the mirror around 2020, and it was written by Advance4ever or it was surely a name like that if not the same, but hadn't that fanfic been updated last around 2014? I'm pretty sure that fanfic was left hanging...

The only thing we can do is enjoy it now! Are you the same Advance4ever who wrote the orginal Man in the mirror around 2014 or is your version a rewrite of that? Or is my memory playing tricks on me and no such Man in the mirror existed around 2014... As I remember reading it around 2020 lol

Oh that's nice, I'd surely read your work when I get time to do so. Yeah, Basic Trainer's work is a great indeed, I suggest you go check my Favourite stories on fanfiction.net if you want to find some more advanceshipping fanfics, since earlier Ig I pretty much read all the great and famous ones on the site around 2020-21, I highly recommend reading LuciferIX and Littlemissmidnight's fanfics, along with some other ones whose names I've definitely forgotten, 3-4 years is a long time indeed huh, that's why I suggest checking my account's fav stories if you're looking for more. Ah well, it's a shame that Gerbilftw deleted his work actually... I still believe they were best works of fanfiction ever written in the Pokemon fandom... Just see the absolute bottom ones of my fav fics if you happen to check as the best ones are the older ones, I'd recommend Matkin22's one, I remember reading that, aaand, One Love one Heart by the same author who orginally wrote Man in the mirror, One Love one heart was extremely nice, I remember reading it and liking a lot, but I forgot the plot lol, has been 4 years, but yeah, now I'm sure a fanfiction named Man in the mirror existed back in 2014 since I'm damn sure it was written by the same author who wrote One Love one heart, the name was Advance or Advanced4ever, I suggest checking that author's profile out too, wrote multiple fanfics which were really great, but I guess last updated around 2014 so yeah, few great ones remained incomplete, and as well as there are a lot of other one's, Wihin Attraction by selh was a good one, There was one written by Cybercuped originally on SPPF which came into ff.net via someone named Mayziken, I forgot the fanfics name, but it was great as well.

I've done quite a bit of snooping through FFN and have found many stories. I'm currently reading Matkin22's one and I have read LittleMissMidnight, Cybercubed, LuciferIX and a bunch of other great authors. I'll definitely take a look at your account though.
