So now its to try and disprove contestshipping hints. That means that I actually have to go onto the contestshipping portion of bulbapedia? I hate that page, I don't even like keeping it in my history. But in this occasion I'll have to make an exception. If it makes it any easier, you'd be looking at the points contestshippers use and then blow them out of the water with valid counterpoints.

That is one of the reasons not to fear this ship. The only point they have is the her blushiong over the rose thing.

That is one of the reasons not to fear this ship. The only point they have is the her blushiong over the rose thing. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Without the roses there is virtually no proof that the Contestshippers can use. But I'll try to find others as well.

Go to Bulbapedia, or send someone to a contestshipping forum to see how they would prove their ship. Just not me.

^ But your an infernape!! Isn't kickin butt the thing Infernapes do best. XD But the real strength Contestshipping has, comes from the Pokeshippers, who would just want to put May off with someone else, and the roses make Drew their best option. And well BMGF is filled full of Eleteist Pokeshippers.
and they'd rather support Pearlshipping, in contrast to Advanceshipping, as per a pole in tBulbagarden where Advance is out numbered by Pearl simply cause the Contestshipers are supporting Pearl over Advance, and not many Advanceshippers are voting there.

^ Wha?! I ain't no Infernape! The fella in my avatar is, but not I! I'm more like Abomasnow, with a quadruple fire weakness. Anyone who browses through FF.net would see all Pokeshipping fanfics will say something like... <INSERT POKESHIPPING TITLE HERE> DESCRIPTION: OMFG MISTY comes to Sinnoh and immediately hooks up with teh Ash. Pokeshipping and Contestshipping (So May will GTFO). And Contestshipping Fics <INSERT CONTESTSHIPPING TITLE HERE> Description: May and Drew are travelling through Johto and Drew gives May yet another rose so that means they have to hook up k thnx. Contestshipping and Pokeshipping (So Ash will GTFO). PS. the Manaphy movie never existed cos Drew has green hair and is awesome. Okay...maybe not like that... but yeah... Pokeshippers are Contestshippers and vice versa, and it is the only reason why they are in larger number.

But Contestshipping is followed by a load of what I call 'shadow shippers'
shippers who say: OMG Contestshipping is like my seond fave ship in the world, after Pearl.
but then don't really do anything. for example on BMGF the support for Contestshipping is large, randomly in threads people would say stuff about Contestshipping. and Advance is barely mentioned
then you take a look at the Contestshipping general discussion, in comparison to Advance.

I guess that means that its really a rather shallow pairing, if it is only a second favourite to everyone else's primary shipping? It really does seem like the only reason people put May and Drew together is because there's a small amount of evidence and I think Dawn has passed May in terms of popularity. May's got it rough, Misty was the first girl, Dawn is the current girl. I think that's why those two other pairings are getting more followers right now.

Well May is still carrying the pressure from being the one who replaced Misty. Dawn has a bit of a "buffer" (I don't like calling May that, but thats exactly what she is in this case) in between her and Misty so the Pokeshippers don't attack Pearlshipping. PS. the Manaphy movie never existed cos Drew has green hair and is awesome. Very nicely done, and I'd be willing to bet that there are a good ammount of Contestshippers like that.

May's got it rough, Misty was the first girl, Dawn is the current girl. I think that's why those two other pairings are getting more followers right now. well look at it from the Pokeshippers POV. 1. Misty leaves Really sad, begin to think series may end 2. May enters Angry, as their golden girl is gone and to them the chances of May leaving are never, so they start to over react and thus gain hatred for this ship 3. May leaves Happy, the'll just make some excuse up about it bieing 4 Drew. 4. Dawn comes (not Misty) Well shes gonna leave anyway, so they don't take in that sense of anger as they did to Advance. They prefer Pearl over advance, but still think that neither have hints. but back onto the proper ship. this threads 'bout

WHOA!!!! That quote is total BS right there. I mean, the PokeShippers can't at least respect the ninth movie. That's ridiculous.
