Well, I would not just say that it is us who are on good terms with them; without much or any competition from other shippers, many ships don't bother rocketshipping much or at all.

I was only pointing out that I prefer to pair James with Gardenia. I got nothing against Rocketshippers at all.
I'm not going to include a ship simply because I want its supporters to side with my favourite ship. That's just ridiculous, you ship what you believe and if people don't like it, they don't have to read it. Respect their beliefs and they'll respect ours, at least that's what I'd like to think.

We want to convince the rocketshippers to be Advanceshippers too, of course, not just being "allied" with us. I was thinking of establishing the same relations with the rocketshippers as we have done with the gymshippers or other ships of that nature.
I'm not asking for them to give up rocketshipping; that would be ridiculous. They can support rocketshipping and Advanceshipping at the same time.

I think it is simpler to write one really good advanceshipping story and if other non advanceshippers read and enjoy it, then they may like it enough to try it themselves.
That's not to say that what you're saying has no merit, because it does.

That's also part of the idea. We use rocketshipping as sort of a "hook" to get the rocketshipper's attention.
What are the chances that a rocketshipper would actually read an Advanceshipping story or any other story in general?
Not much, they would read more stories about their own ship; unless the other stories have ,at least some, rocketshipping in it to attract their attention.

Pokeshippers? I don't remember any pokeshipping in After Hoenn...
Were the reviews from contestshippers and pokeshippers positive?

Looks like Jessie is going to be releasing Dustox soon. I wonder if they'll be getting newer Pokemon now that James has lost Cacnea and Jessie will be releasing Dustox in episode DP073...

You sure that she will be releasing it?
But then again the only thing she ever uses Dustox for is Contests. Losing him will just result in her joining more contests.
And yes, I do think that she will be obtaining a new sinnoh pokemon sometime in the neat future. James got Carnivine and so Jessie shouldn't be too far behind in getting another pokemon.

Well considering the title of the episode is, "Sayonara Dokukeiru" ("Goodbye, Dustox"), I think it's a pretty fair assumption. Apparently it begins to chase after a shiny Dustox or something. Sounds a lot like the Bye Bye Butterfree episode.
I really want her to get a new Sinnoh Pokemon. Dunno what though...

Whoops, guess I should have read the title of the episode, that would have stopped that question right then and there. Ya Dustox is gone, I read what little they have of it on Bulbapedia. But on the topic of her next pokemon it will be interesting to see what they want for it. Part of me is saying Burmy but I really doubt it.

I'm going to go with any one of the following Pokemon:
Lickylicky, Purugly, Stunky or Skuntank. I can really picture her with any of these Pokemon.
As for James:
Snowver, Tangrowth, Drifloon or Drifbim. But most likely Tangrowth because I can just picture it being released only to constrict him with love and affection.

It makes me sad for some reason when Jessie releases dustox; maybe it is because it had been in Hoenn and saw Ash and May traveling together, and that made dustox the connection to the Hoenn and Battle Frontier series.

Yeah I know what you mean, both Jessie and May had captured Wumples. So there was always that connection.
