Now I think Negashipping sucks. Besides, Iris has more interesting interactions with Dent. :P
No wonder Wishfulshipping is more popular.

Uuuuhhh, I think both interactions are pretty amusing, but I think that Dento has like absolutely no interest in Iris whatsoever. Iris may be a bit tsundere for him though, but that's as far as I'll go.
Wishfulshipping is more popular because: 1. It's not an Ash Shipping (strangely enough, after AG, Ash shippings tended to split into two camps: Poke and Advanced, which branched off into a whole shipping family deal; Pearlshippers, who were mostly newer generation shippers, tended to multiship more and were the most passive) and 2. It's the only straight pair alternative with interesting characters.
Which is why Cafemocha is not the most popular in the western language speaking fandom.

He may not have, but shipping is for fun, isn't it? Every time Iris is annoyed by him, we take that as a hint. Or when Iris hides behind Dento and stuff like that. :D
It's hilarious how complex shipping has become. But yeah, Iris and Dent are very interesting characters.
Um, I'd say Cafemocha is more popular than Negai. :/

It
is for fun, I'm just pointing out the fallacies in the ships :P I can see those as hints too...on Iris's side. What has Dento done to reciprocate those feelings? :P
Has become? I think it's always been that way.
Well yeah, but it's nowhere near as popular as wishful in the communities I'm involved in xD In the japanese fandom though, CafeMocha ranks supreme :P
Quote:
Um ... he's shown his kind friendship towards Iris. And we all know he's being fabulous only to annoy her, he loves annoying her. :P
Well in the beginning it was just Pokeshipping and Palletshipping. XD
Well ofc, Japanese girls know what's good. xP

Friendship does not equal luuuurve. I mean, do you ship yourself with all your close friends? :P LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!! What the hell do you mean? I'm pretty sure he's fabulous because, oh, I dunno, that's his PERSONALITY? :P
But that was enough to initiate a war and a peace treaty. And don't forget about the Rocket side of things, they had some crazy diplomacies as well!
Don't judge, I'm sure there are Japanese boys in the mix too.
Quote:
NO! Only special ones. ˇ-ˇ :P
Nah, Dento was pretty calm at the start of BW but as he got more open to his friends he realized Iris was annoyed by his true nature. Thus, he used the opportunity in order to seduce her in his fabulous ways. Now they're like love birds teasing each other whenever they can. We need more Iris/Dento moments . :D
Uh, I completely forgot about them. It could be because Rocketshipping is canon and confirmed. XD
True, true. And I'm not judging anyone. Only those who ship Coma not so great shippings.

But there's nothing particularly striking about Dento/Iris's relationship...it seems pretty standard to me.
HAHAHAHA!!
You're joking, right? That first battle with Ash, he definitely wasn't spinning and throwing around sparkles everywhere. Nope. And afterwards, he DEFINITELY didn't fangasm over a table over a ten year old boy...NOPE!! And he DEFINITELY didn't go into tasting tiems or talk big about his awesome domestic cooking skills or anything like that. NOPE. NOT AT ALL. HE DEFINITELY CAME OUT OF HIS FABULOUS CLOSET BECAUSE OF IRIS'S INFLUENCE.
Well, yeah, it is. :P but the camp for Rocket pairings were even more ridiculous because they had conflict within their own SHIPPING XD And their biggest rival wasn't even a rival shipping, it was the anti-shippers, which were so strong, they were put into a shipping category of their own XDDD (RShipping was the first one I got into, so i know a bit about them :p)
Pft, okay. Comashipping is an awesome ship and you know it.
Quote:
Different skill color Maybe. xD
Pfft, you silly girl, he did since he wanted to make Iris jealous. ˇ^ˇ
Wait, there was an anti-shipping for a shipping? WUT? <.<
Okay, it's not awesome, but it's okay, I guess. :P

I don't know what you're trying to imply with those strike outs ._.
No....just, no. I'm pretty sure he fangams when no one is looking. There's no way it can't be genuine. He does it because it's in his personality to do so. he went all fishing connoisseur when Iris wasn't looking, to you know, be of help....and kinda annoyed ASH in the process. His brother didn't seem fazed at all through his tasting times, which means that they must have been used to those mannerisms at that point. He went to a ****ing
train convention way before he met either Ash or Iris.
Now please, give me some legit evidence that he only does it to purposely annoy Iris/make her jealous.
yup. I've been in nearly every camp on my fandom journey. Starting out with being a R*cketshipper (meaning that you're adamant that they'll get together and you think that Jessie is a soft flower and that James is dripping in testosterone and ****) from being an Antishipper (because of Pokemopolis's influence) from being a Queershipper (thinking that Jessie and James might have a thing for each other but are basically lesbian/gay lovers) to being a FriendShipper (just as the name inplies) to being a regular Rocketshipper XD (yes, these are the official names for these sects).
That's victory enough for me ^^ (you'll like it one day, I promise :P)

It implies what I'm actually thinking while I write something else. Or you knew that before? LOL it also looks neat in a VM
That's all true, but not even Dento could fully be himself with unknown people that he had just met. He was a nerd but he was unsure of how Iris would react. As he slowly started unveiling his "tasting times" as a part of his daily routine and not just of some show they thought he was putting on during the gym battle, Ash and Iris realized that Dento really was a big nerd. Iris was attracted to that and so she started flirting via the best way she knew - snarky comments, pretending that she disliked it. :DD Dento realized Iris' signals and realized he could fully act natural around her, and Ash. That's how their platonic, still unconfirmed relationship, began.
He trolled her about being a photo sommelier in the Robert/Sawsbuck episode. You just know he did it on purpose. :P
That seems like quite a journey. Wow, those seem pretty fun. I wish I was there at the times, too bad I joined too late to the fandom. xD
Maybe if Paul actually says a normal, friendly, non-rival sentence to Ash? :P

Can I copy/paste your arguments to the PokeCommunity Shipping debates? You're welcome to join me there, but I would love to initiate a debate on this with more than one person :P (don't worry, I think I'll be outnumbered since Wishful is very popular).
I'm positive that Dento isn't afraid of showing his nerdy/eccentric side. He showed no shame or regret showing it to other people, like Cabernet or Trip. He certainly didn't mind showing it to Ash right after the battle. He may be hiding a deep secret, but I would imagine that it would be hard to "put on a show" 24/7 like that. It's just how he acts. Also, if you make the comment that Iris makes snarky comments to those who she feels attracted to, then the same argument could be used to support Negaishipping...or basically, everyone that Iris speaks to =_=; I don't think she's flirting either, because that would mean that she would have to make her annoyance known to him every single time it happened. It's been shown that she has no qualms with just being a debbie downer when no one is looking :P (like in the battle with Cabernet, she wasn't exactly being very loud about her criticisms, now was she?) I'm arguing this not only on a shipping basis, but on a character basis, because I find many faults with that interpretation of Dento's behavior.
He's a troll though! That's not a shipping hint, it's just something he does for fun XDDDD You never troll your friends either?
I didn't join any forums at that time, I was just a lurker. And a lot of the action happened in website battles, not actual forums XP This was like waaay back in the early 2000's
It's not really in Paul's character to do that though, but he's gotten the closest with Ash, you know, actually complimenting him on his achievements and all.
Quote:
Ah, I haven't been there in a while but you're welcome to use my arguments there, haha. By the way, I was checking out the Negaishipping thread in the SPPf and someone posted your AMV - everyone thought it was awesome. Just thought you should know! ;P
Haha, well I'm actually only trying to find ways so I could interpret Iris and Dent's friend relationship as something more than friendship. :P If anything, I'm definitely convinced Iris really does care about Dent. I've seen many subtle hints such as Iris putting her hand on his shoulder, Iris hiding behind Dent and NOT Ash, Iris being annoyed by Dent's nerdiness. Also, Dent is as a troll, why else would he had caught Stunfisk? xD But no really, it was like he was asking for it - he was pushing Iris' buttons knowing how she would react. And then he could gently troll her in his own way. :P Also, speaking of the Cabernet battle, the reason Iris wasn't very loud is because she didn't wanna bother Dent. She had come to conclusion that despite Dent acting the way he did, he really did want to prove Cabernet wrong which is why she acted the way she did. She discovered a completely new side of Dent, a badass side, but at the same time, a nerdy side of him too. But also, she really enjoys his cooking. :P
Oh wow. I joined Bulbagarden around May, I think, in late DP. :D
Well in terms of rivalry, true, Paul was best rival of them all. I wish Paul could make a reappearance along with Dawn in BW, as some sort of DP special. I'd say that they were, in a way, the most important people for him in DP. :P
