Shipping Debates

[Shedinjareese]

lol not exactly. True. Badges, rocks, and trees...they're shipped too. :P

Oh! And aprons and eyes. Speaking of which, I'm pretty postitive this has been discussed before, but how old is Brock? When I was younger I always thought he was an adult, but then when I got older I realized he's in between Ash's and the adults' heights so is probably a teenager. Sure, it would have been kinda creepy if an adult were paling around with two ten year olds, but I find it even creepier he's in love with so many female adults. And that begs the question, Uh, Professor Ivy???

 

[Jorah]

I don't remember rocks or trees, when have we shipped them? On Bulbapedia it says Brock is 15, which came from some official sketches, apparently. I always thought that Professor Ivy was in her 20s, I suppose it's not too bad really.

 

[Azumi]

Jorah, you said the forbidden word in your second last post! *it is not Disney* *YGOTAS again*

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkTd-vgohfU&feature=sub Pikachu and Piplup o.O It's the next episode preview for Japan

America's sooooo gonna ban this.
If they don't, they've gotta do something about it. Make an excuse. Just don't teach the children about gay people. DX

That always sounded right to me. When he meets Ash he's still young, but he's taking care of a whole family. He had to be somewhere in his teens to do that I think.

Then why is Harley not dubbed as a girl? And children know a lot about gay people. Seeing as the teens under me all say they're bi, children are gonna know. At least in America, we're losing some social gender difference.

 

[RubyJB88]

Eh let's not get into the gay arguments for now...after all this is shipping so let's ship Harley with May instead. *is shot*

 

[Azumi]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *YGOTAS reference again*

But Harley isn't gay.
...is he? *shot*

 

[Jorah]

I think Harley is this https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AmbiguouslyGay Like Pegasus. Acts gay for laughs, but if it was ever revealed, would most probably be straight. That's why 4Kids wouldn't have made Harley a girl, because it's humorous, especially for younger children, like all the false "hints" 4Kids made up that James was gay, it was supposed to be funny, not that they would think it was "acceptable". 4Kids way isn't really to open people's minds, it's to censor *coughriceballscough*

I thought that as I wrote it, but people seem to be ignoring that rule D: I'm going to edit it out anyway XD

I would disagree, but obviously no one wants to talk about this.

Though I don't think there will be any real censorship of the episode. They'll just call it 'extreme friendship'.
Oh hey look, I found a good troupe from the page Jorah linked. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeterosexualLifePartners
Does that fit?

 

[Jorah]

Oh, I was talking about Harley rather than Pikachu and Piplup. The episode is probably going to be a one-time only thing, so it'll all be explained for Pikachu and Piplup to not be gay, anyway. Haha. The link works for Ash and Brock XD

I know, the first part was about Harley. Then I moved on because I was like...'Well they could try and use some weird form of that for an excuse!'.
I don't see Ash and Brock like that, because I know they've been together for a long time, and they are best friends, but they don't seem to be the closest friends possible before going into other boundaries best friends.
That and talking to certain people, to them, one of them might not share the same sexuality. ;>
Oh yeah, and I don't think the writers even think so! xD; In some of the more recent Japanese episodes like the one where they get stuck in the tent that makes them get smaller and the episode with Kotone where they get a Gible, Brock is sorta sent away so all the children can go play with each other for the day, haha.

 

[Azumi]

Look at my new name! *shot*

Brock's like the invisible character, for now, of course. Wait till we see him get his fair share of epicness in the Ginga-dan arc.

 

[Superficial Mycosis]

Can I have some.. not too harsh oppinions on a shipping I like to call Basaltshipping?
It's Hunter J/Mars.. I know they've not even met (yet.. I'm a tad hopeful for them being possibly a bit near eachother in future episodes, ha ha) but I can't help but feel their personalities would work really well together.
It's really grown on me recently.

 

[RubyJB88]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *YGOTAS reference again*

Now this is a reference I don't remember. :P

I don't think Pegs is gay, more like extravagantly metro. XD

They're gonna do it with or without a woman at their sides. That is confirmed.

lol I wouldn't be surprised. XD

I like these episodes more and more. Then the other one with Barry and that weird fantasy.

I'm officially done with him after the Brandon/Regigigas episodes. He is not fun anymore. He hardly gets his *shiny* episodes. And they're not what they used to be.

I wonder how J is on the outside...apart from being sadistic. *Pokesho images come to mind*

If there's anyone gay in Pokémon, it's Harley. Yes, he took that place from James. Any shipping with Harley creeps me out though... most of all HarelyxMay. I mean, what the f?

Also, I know this is not the appropriate place to do so, but: Harley wears the most ridiculous clothes ever. There.

About Hunter J: she's epic. <3 Finally a really awesome villain in Pokémon who's... well, a villain. Can't ship her with anyone, though; I only see a very sadistic kind of love that I don't want to picture.

And Brock: he needs more love. Everyone always forgets him, even Ash and Dawn ;;. Hope he'll just wind up with some nurse Joy from a city somewhere in Sinnoh, and be happy. Though that would immediately take all the fun away, because what's left for Croagunk now that he can't stab his beloved master anymore?

I agree that Harley wears weird clothes. I didn't keep up with AG very well, and when I saw him, I already knew he was...not a normal guy.
Then I was like
"Those are heels!" And what an ugly hat...

J is a great villian! Indeed the shipping would be sadistic, but that I actually can imagine and wonder if there are any stories out there... It would be interesting, no?
I think I like some things other people don't. x) It's in the same view as I see Comashipping really.

I think Brock is okay. He needs to more of people the mother/wise one, and more of the disappearing when the kiddies go have adventures. It seems quite appropriate. ;_; I love Croagunk, I don't want him gone!

They're gonna do it with or without a woman at their sides. That is confirmed.

Yet again I always forget to mention this my posts when I really want to. xD

Yep. *agrees* But then...Brock and James...I saw them twice together recently and that gives me reason to believe that Brock can be bisexual.

Also, I know this is not the appropriate place to do so, but: Harley wears the most ridiculous clothes ever. There.

Very true. I don't know what's worse, his Cacturne outfit or the May outfit.

Croagunk is the answer to all Brock's fantasies, which make them entertaining to watch. But other than that it's getting old.

That's it! PaulxJ. That is win for me. There has to be a name for that. but I'm too lazy to look it up. :P

Yeah, it really isn't a bad idea when Brock leaves for an episode not to be a twerp. However his "wise" stance is fading...he's stating too much of the obvious in every battle, especially Ash's battles.

Yet again I always forget to mention this my posts when I really want to. xD

XD

 

[Nina]

Woah.
Paul and Hunter J?
That! That is really interesting! *_* Hmmmmm.....

After a half-hearted search. I can't find the name!
Jorah! Fukari Nayu! Be on the ready!
Though, I'm really bad with searches.

 

[Snoaz]

Hunter JxShinji is a shipping I might be able to support....

if Paul only were a little older. And if it weren't for the fact that he already belongs to Ash. -wink wink-

Oh, and BROCK AND JAMES. I know, I know. There are a few episodes where they are strangely couple-like... that one in D&P where they have to design an outfit, f.e. But then again, Brock can get along with anyone. I even spotted a scene where he and Paul were shippable.

And it's good to see that I'm not the only one who questions Harley's fashion style and whatnot. xp

 

[Azumi]

NO PAUL DOES NOT BELONG TO ASH HE BELONGS TO MEEEEE *shot*

Ha at least you still remember my name change
I don't have any names at all.
Jorah, you're next. :P

BTW, that "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" reference was when the Duelist Kingdom thing ended and Kaiba was smiling, and Furry said that "we have to go to school" and then Tristan was like... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Geddit?

Yep, that makes sense. xD; So it's Paul with a much greater evil, or Paul with the One Who Saves the World? What a strange guy~
Ash rejected him and he turned to a life of crime when he got older?

I even spotted a scene where he and Paul were shippable.

It it that awkward bush scene? I remember watching that and going "OH HI STALKER SHINJI", and then Brock was acting like it's one of those secret conversations where someone's watching but you have to look normal. It made me laugh.
o.o But he did open up to Brock and sorta spilled out everything about Reggie.

*cough* I can't think of name either...
