Do you know anyone, rl or online, that reminds you of Ash and May?Well, I couldn't say irl, but I suppose a sub topic to this would be: What other universe/fandom characters remind you of Ash and May?I would have to say Robin and Starfire from Teen Titans, because of the following reasons: 1) Robin is the self proclaimed hero, just like Ash 2) He is also very dense when it comes to relationships, just like Ash. 3) Let's not forget that Robin also has spiky black hair. 4) Starfire, like May, is optimistic and cheerful, albeit sometimes clumsy. 5) Starfire is an alien, which makes her new to Earth. In a similar vein, May is (was) new to the Pokemon world, so she was an 'alien' in that sense. 6) In both cases, Robin and Ash acted like Starfire and May's 'mentors' into their respective new worlds, teaching them and encouraging them. 7) Robin is usually a lot more mature around Starfire, as is Ash around May. I can't think of anymore, but that's the gist (: And Robin and Starfire become a couple at the end of the TV show, so I'm not complaining <3 Wow, that's a great comparison

Yes, both pairings are so adorable! <3
What other universe/fandom characters remind you of Ash and May? One pairing that always comes to mind for me is Kataang. The friendship Katara and Aang share is very strong, like Ash and May's friendship is, and it was that strong friendship they formed that allowed love to bloom for them.
Katara and Aang also acted as mentors to each other as they were improving their bending skills, much like Ash and May help each other improve their battling skills.
Also, Ash and May remind me of Aang and Katara respectively in terms of their personalities. Both Katara and May are strong-willed, high-spirited, determined young women, who have soft, caring, and even motherly sides. Katara had to step up and act as a mother figure after her and Sokka's mother passed away, kind of like how May looks after Max in place of Caroline while they're traveling. Ash and Aang are also determined individuals, and they also end up shouldering a lot of responsibility and they both assume the role of "the chosen one" in a lot of situations, Aang being the Avatar and Ash just being the general hero of Pokemon.

^ ohhh I love this comparison! Kataang <3 And yeah, it really makes sense too...let's not forget that Ash and Aang are both also pretty goofy, and both of them have some sort of partner that they couldn't live without (Ash's Pikachu, Aang's Appa) =D

Very true! They do both have very care-free, relaxed, and fun personalities as well.
Now all Ash and May have to do is get married and have some adorable babies and they'll catch up with Kataang in no time! ^_^

xDD That would certainly be awesome. Avatar and pokemon crossover, anyone?
All right, new topic!
Have you ever "jumped ships" before? If so, why and what made you come back to Advanceshipping?

There was that one time in the Baltimore harb-oh wait. You could say Pokeshipping, but I don't think so.

Have you ever "jumped ships" before? If so, why and what made you come back to Advanceshipping? I've gone through periods where I've been less active with Advanceshipping and have gotten hooked on other various pairings from different fandoms and even within the Pokemon fandom. I'm also one of the few that has very little problems with Contestshipping and I also really enjoy Hoennshipping and its manga counterpart Franticshipping.
However, Advanceshipping is still my number one OTP and regardless of what other pairings I might enjoy, my heart still beats the most for Ash and May xD I'm really not sure why, but I've always come back to it, and I don't think I'll ever stop loving it.

I will say that when I first started watching pokemon, I was a minor Pokeshipper because it was basically the only ship at the time. With that said, I wasn't too invested in the shipping at that time because I didn't really like Misty and Ash's dynamic. Misty was too hotheaded for my liking to begin with. Anyway, when AG started however, I found myself liking both Contestshipping AND Advanceshipping. A bit odd, is it not? I liked both ships and somehow allowed the two fangirls inside of me to coexist peacefully.
After that however, when AG ended, I gave up on Pokemon for a while. A few years later though, in the middle of DP, during the Wallace Cup arc, I returned to watching the show because I heard May would make a cameo. From then on, I remembered my love for Advanceshipping and revisited the AG series...and I guess the rest of the story speaks for itself. After some time away from shipping, I realized that Advanceshipping was the ship strong enough to bring me back, not Contestshipping.
And so, here I am (: Many times, I have gone inactive sure, but something about Advanceshipping always brings me back. (:
