Being honest I stop watching Pokémon long ago after AG but i started to look up the movies one day last year and i got into it again. I absolutely hate Sinnoh and Unova. Next up i looked for the Movie The pokémon ranger and the sea temple and saw someone commented the movie say this was a big Advanceshipping movie? I was like what the hell is that? I looked it up and came upon in Fanfiction and read some of the stuff and was hooked!

How did i find advanceshipping? Well one day, after watching AG after a few years from OS i saw this new girl May. After watching that ep i started to like May near Ash so on YouTube i typed in Ash and May and these AMV's came. I watched a few and then just got into it. I watched episodes that showed on the AMV's that got me more into it.
Then followed fanart and fanfiction. Before i knew it i had a go at both. But it did take me some time to get the name though. xD

I've said this before to various people but mine was a little gradual. After getting into the Pokemon games again I started looking up Pokemon Pictures and eventually AMVs on YouTube. These started to lead into shipping videos and even though I hadn't watched the anime in years it started to get me thinking about shippings as I saw both Pokeshipping and Advanceshipping videos. I think I had already started to gravitate towards Advanceshipping but it was one of Zeaeevee's videos that caught my eye a little more than the others and I read in the notes that she had read PikamasterADV's fanfic May's Crush and was promoting it. Curiosity got the better of me and I searched for it and found it. Reading that was what solidified my liking of Advanceshipping over the others and after finding Fanfiction.net I started to read every story about Ash and May there that I could get my hands on.
Well that's my story at least. While my interest has waned as of late I doubt that I'll either eventually change shippings or truly completley part from Advanceshipping will completely fade.

How did you "find" Advanceshipping? That's a nice question, but fortunately, I have a very good memory. I've liked Pokémon since 1998 when I was seven years old and it was really 'in' at that time. Like everyone, I played the games, bought the cards, watched the movies, bought the plush-toys and so on. It was a very important part of my life back then and I attented a small school in a village with a huge playground. During the breaks, we always traded our cards and talked about Pokémon. I loved this time and I think that I could never forget it, because it inspired me to behave like I do. In the 90's, however, I wasn't very interested in girls, like every seven-year-old boy.
Unfortunately, Misty treated Ash like my big sister treated me and so I'll always looke at Misty like a big sister for Ash. There's no way that I can think of Misty as a girlfriend for Ash, because I could never imagine to be in a relationship with my sister. Misty just was annoying like my big sister ...
I lived in the countryside for almost five more years, therefore I wasn't so influenced by newer 'trends' and I sticked to Pokémon. Sometime during that time, Pokémon Advanced generation came up and the Pokémon-geek I was, looked them of course.
During that time I developed my 'fear of girls', but I didn't like it very much. It's some kind of neurotic illness and I kept distance between me and girls. However, I became mature and I loved it when friends got girl-friends and I was happy for them. Of course, my favorite Anime character couldn't miss at that point. (Ash Ketchum)
I wanted him to be happy and May was similar the style of a girl that I had a crush on. Due to my fear, I couldn't ask her, but I wished that Ash would come together with May.
You could say that Ash was the replacement of myself and May was my crush. It sounds crazy, but I was kinda in love with May, but enough from that. That pairing was so important for me and I loved every episode with the two of them.
In 2007, I got my first computer and one year later I had internet connection for the first time. I loved those chat rooms and I could write with girls, but I also watched those AG episodes of Pokémon again. Shortly thereafter, I found youtube and typed May and Ash in. It was followed by AS AMV's and I liked it very much.
Over the next couple of months I found fanfiction, but my English wasn't that good at this time. It took over one year before my English was good enough to read fanfictions and I loved them all. I had so freakin' much ideas for those stories, therefore I started to write own stories.
That was the short summary of my ADVshipping experience.

I got into Pokemon when the Advanced series was going on. I guess I always just pictured them together in my mind, it just seemed right! ;D

I found ADV when I was looking through the "List of Shippings" on Bulbapedia. Then I looked at the hints and I liked them so I became an ADV. It's not really complicated.

I like Advanceshipping even since May appeared on the show...well maybe a little later but still. Although I saw the hints between Ash and Misty, I didn't actually like her enough to think of her as a girlfriend for Ash. When May appeared, I was just starting playing the third generation games, and I started liking her character. When an especifically chapter in AG appeared, involving teasing both Ash and May as a couple (considered to be the chapter that gave born officially to Advance), I liked even more the idea of them becoming a couple. Whenever I saw a hint, I got really happy, and made me love the pairing even more. When May left, I was sad, because there was a probability that since she left the group to compete in Johto, the pairing might die, but she eventually appeared in DP and that made me extremely happy =) Well, in conclusion XD I discovered the pairing by watching the anime, and then googled "Ash X May" and the name Advanceshipping appeared.

I found advancedshipping only q couple years ago. But I believed in it since Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. *spoiler alert* when ash puts may and manaphy in the capsule, and then saves the day. It seems that may should have kissed ash as soon as the two were reunited. That was back when the movie came out, and i my head i would think of scenarios where may could be ash's girlfriend. During those thoughts i often contemplated misty over may, but may was a better fit for ash in my opinion. Finally in 2011 i took the search to the internet. There i search to see of there was an episode where ash and may kissed. No luck. Then recently i thought that other people write down fanfiction what is advancedshipping is one of them. By this time i had the definition of advancedshipping from bulbapedia. And then i found fancfiction.net and all the advanced shipping stories. Advanced shipping makes sense and agewise i hink may is just a bit younger than ash so thats a good fit.

Agreed to that. Advanceshipping is the most suitable pairing in the series in my opinion. It fits perfectly

I found it when I started watching pokemon again. I watched from the first episode but soon got bored and skipped to the advanced saga. Soon I looked up pokemon fanfics and suddenly found one that was titled:Advanceshipping. Curiosity made me google the term, and that led me to a couple of The Shiny Gengars fanfics. They got me completely hooked on advanceshipping. (Gengar also led me to the ADVancers[ am also aware that gengar is here as well])

I liked the idea of Ash and May getting together for a long time probably since I first watched AG.
I found out what Ash x May was called when I stumbled upon some art and hints that sourced back to Advanceshipping's Bulbapedia page as well as the old Advanceshipping thread on Bulbagarden almost 4 years ago.
