The Big Valentine's Shipping Debate

Debate: Feb 8 - 17 || Judging: Feb 17 - 22

Hi everyone! I'm Bonnie! I had a great idea! So, I'm pretty great at finding potential couples. And I see that some people here are pretty good, too! So let's have a little debate. Which couple has the most going for them? You're going to have to convince the judges that your favourite pairing is better than the rest!

Instructions​

♥ To sign yourself up, post your username and the ship you will be arguing for!
♥ Any PokéAni ship is allowed, but it's probably going to be easiest to argue for your OTP.
♥ To start, you must submit at least one paragraph describing why your OTP is such a good couple. A standard paragraph is four to six sentences.
♥ You're allowed to stop there. But other people may ask you to clarify points or argue that their pairing is better! You'll probably want to reply to them and make your argument better.
♥ That goes in reverse, too! You can comment on other people's arguments, but everyone should be respectful. No personal attacks allowed. At all. Ever.
♥ You can get some approval from the judges if you do well at refuting someone else's argument! But you can't win just by arguing against things; you have to have a ship you argue for.
♥ When challenging an argument, the challenge must be presented in a way so it in itself is an argument. Example: "Pearl is better than Ikari" wouldn't be a challenge to an argument; you have to say why. "Pearl is more stable and nurturing than Ikari" would be something to build from.
♥ If you're arguing for an XY pairing and using points from events beyond episode 4, use the spoiler tag! Not everyone keeps up with the Japanese broadcasts!
♥ You can argue for the same pairing as someone else, but don't use their whole argument! It's up to you to make a good case and win.
♥ The judges (Anna and Wobbu) will be looking at ALL of your posts to see if you made a good case. Make every post convincing!
♥ Don't be too serious. Have fun and treat it as a conversation!

If you have any questions, post them in this thread and I'll try to clarify for you! Have fun debating~ Oh, and make sure to check out the other events linked below!
