Okay, I feel like I'm replying reallllllly late for this... buuuut, I first "found" shipping itself through pearlshipping, and yes, at first I DID ship that... but It was because I hadn't properly watched PKMN in ages and I assumed all these fanarts and stuff were because they WERE canon. I know they aren't now, but It's what I thought. Then, after a little more digging, I discovered advanceshipping and I just knew it was the ship for me... I'd ALWAYS loved May/Haruka the most, I was so very upset when I found out she had left... anyways, one thing led to another and I soon became hooked! wow, if only I could write that much on the homework I'm meant to be doing... :/ meh. Happy Advancing!

It all begain , when I was 8 or 9 years old. I never know any love, pairings, or shipping for Pokemon. I watch the first season and thought it would be over. But I was wrong. So, I kind of miss some parts for Johto series and maybe for Orange Island (becuase of school stuff).
Few years later, when I was around 12 or 13 years old. When May show up, I start to like her alot. But miss some parts for Advance Series (damm you school). I been thinking about what is the best girlfriend for Ash ? So, I just look up the internet and found a bulbpedia. I click on Pokeshipping and found alot of hints that make no sense and never remenber watch some epsidoe.
Next, I go to the Advanceshipping page and got me interest. So I back to the Advance Series to watch the episodes and that how I become an Advanceshipping fan.

I found Advance shipping when I was young, watching the Anime. I thought that they would be the perfect couple. And, after I started reading fan fiction, I was converted.

It began in 2005, I was watching the televition and eager to watch the new season of pokemon "pokemon advance" (in that moment I didn't thought that advance battle was on air) and I was glad that I never had to see misty again (I still don't like her) and I saw the first episode with May, it was love in first sight if pokemon was real, and when I discover that she would be Ash companion I was hype, I thought that May was perfect to Ash...until Drew was introduce, then I was in a mental war between advance and contest, I like them both and still do, but after some time when I finaly could she movie 9 advance came out on top and the last episode of battle frontier just cemented that, i was crying when she left and during the manaphy movie, then shippings in general die with me because of a lack of pokemon until 5 months ago when on the Internet I discover by accident the first episode of DP (bad rap) and I was hook again, I then began to like pearlshipping, until the Wallace Cup arc, in that moment when May return I remember all the past episodes and how I love them together, when I finish the DP saga and I put myself on par with the BW series I began to watch advance again and I was hook with advanceshipping since then and It's not dissapearing in a long time

Lets see... Like everyone... i guess... i grew up with th first season. being the hopeless romantic that i am, i never really saw any hints with ash and misty. I actually thought that Misty liked Brock because she would always pull on his ear everytime he tried to flirt with a girl lol Anyways this isnt gymleadershipping lol... when the first season of AG came out I thought wow this May chick is pretty cute... she would make a good girlfriend for Ash. adn after watching a few episodes i was hooked on them... then last may, I came home from work and saw my little brothers watching pokemon reruns and it was the last episode of master quest and i was like oh! i remember this! and started watching pokemon with them and AG came on and I was even more HOLY SHIT! I remember this! They like eachother! and for some reason i thought that they were still traveling together... yeah i know lame of me -___- lol Anyways i googled Ash and May and found out their shipping was advanceshipping and then i googled ash and may have a crush on eachother... or something like that... and behold! PikaMasterADV's May's Crush came up adn i read the fic and was hooked! after reading his fics, I read Lucifer's, Gengar's and Midnight's fic and was completly blown away and hooked! so i wanna thank yall for getting me hook and addicted to both pokemon and advanceshipping! That was one looooong story! XD

Just like anyone else on here, I grew up with the first season. As a child, I kept watching it with my brother on VHS and I took a liking to it. I wasn't too crazy about it, but something made me borrow all of those videos from my local library. So, yeah.
However, my TV didn't have access to any channels showing Pokémon (and it still doesn't, CURSE IT!), so I relied on the library's videos and the movies to get caught up on what's going on. And believe me, it wasn't a very reliable source. As a result, I was actually VERY surprised to find that May replaced Misty when I bought the 6th movie from a store. I didn't mind it though and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Come to think of it, I remember my brother telling me that a friend told him that May was MISTY in DISGUISE. XD We were such stupid kids back then...
Like I said, my TV doesn't have access to Pokémon, so I relied on the movies to keep me informed about AG. You'd think that I didn't learn about Advanceshipping because of that. YOU'RE WRONG! Even if I was just watching a movie, the image of Ash and May being a couple literally slapped me in the face! My brother caught onto it too, and pretty soon, we were playing out fantasies that Ash and May got together as a couple. Believe me, we were still KIDS at the time. Well, not really; I think I entered middle school at that point.
A short time passed, and the 9th movie came out. Man, did I fall in LOVE with those Advanceshippy scenes or WHAT?! JEEZ, it seemed like even the creators love the pairing so much that they incorporated a bunch of good hints into an entire movie! Yeah, it was with that movie that my rabid love for Advanceshipping was secured.
Then, I somehow stumbled onto Fanfiction (don't ask me how, 'cause I don't how either). The first Advanceshipping fic I read was "The Darkness Within" by Night Rain Illusion. I doubt much people have heard of it, so try giving it a read; it's really good.
At first, I didn't know what Advanceshipping meant after seeing the title so many times on several stories that I've read. But, I quickly traced a connection between the title and the main coupling of the story. It became familiar to me that instantly, and I didn't even have to look it up! When I found Bulbapedia, I already knew what Advanceshipping meant, but with its help, I managed to track down all Advanceshippy episodes.
Then I lost interest in Pokémon until last year. It was after this rediscovery that I took Advanceshipping MUCH MORE SERIOUSLY! And here I am.
And that is the story of how I found and fell in love with Advanceshipping.
Wow, this is long.

Ah, at least I'm not the only one who read "The Darkness Within". And I actually read those two stories also! Thanks for recommending them, though. I loved them both, of course.

Before I got into Advanceshipping, I was actually into Pokéshipping. Then I went to this website where it showed there were rivals to Pokéshipping. I saw Advanceshipping and I loved the hints that were given about Advanceshipping. In Pokéshipping, Misty was so mean to Ash. May never was that mean. I just stuck to it after that. The feeling is just right.

How I found Advanceshipping: The same thing a lot of people get into things...Youtube.
I was listening to a palkia tribute (Since it's one of my favorite pokemon) and I saw a advanceshipping vid, clicked on it, it was pretty good, and that's how I became an advancer

May looked the most realistic. That and I liked how May and Ash acted with each other when I first watched Advanced Generation.

Well, I don't remember exactly how, but somehow one day I stumbled upon the fanfic, May's Crush by PikamasterADV. There I came across the term 'Shipping', and also realized that I liked Ash and May together, and became an Advanceshipper. So I re-watched AG and the movies, and got into reading fan-fiction and collecting fan-arts and stuff ever since. And I really enjoyed reading all the posts in this thread and learning about how each of you guys found Advanceshipping

I found this place when I was on fanfiction.net and saw that Gengar's "Civil War" had been deleted from it. But in his profile, he said he will still post the story in the advancers forum and gave a link to it. So I followed the link, signed up, and the rest is history. I got a hand it Gengar, he's a great recruiter!

I'm a little late to the party. Oh well.
When I first watched Pokemon, I was 5 or 6 and AG was being aired. I immediately loved May, and to this day she's my fave character. I'd seen some episodes from OS and figured Ash and Misty would make a good couple b/c of her crush on Ash. I've always been a hopeless romantic, so when they introduced Drew I put him with May. However, I never got into shipping for a few years.
I was listening to Pokemon music 1 or 2 summers ago on Youtube and stumbled upon a Pokeshipping vid. I watched it, and eventually found an Advanceshipping vid. I loved them, and began an internal debate on Poke vs Advance. Then I found this great Advanceshipping AMV called 'Dying Inside.' That did it. Soon after I looked up shippings on Bulbapedia and compared the evidence. While Pokeshipping was mostly based on Misty's crush. Advanceshipping had hints from them both and all the evidence from movie 9, my fave movie, proved I had made the right decision.
