By the way, I'm betting that, like seen here, there is a mixed(although primarily negative) feedback on the rushed Epilogue of Digimon, so they didn't try it on their next two seasons. On the fifth, Savers, they did the time-skip Epilogue again, although this time there was no character "hook-ups" at all, even though considering the maturity of that season. EDIT:I personally believe that there were enough Tai/Sora hints with or without the movies to deem them a pairing that was well on its way to becoming canon. -I second that one. Season 1 pretty much made the pairing canon, and their friends, including Yamato(Matt) even acknowledge it at the time.

Digimon Season 2 and 3 i say were the only good ones. However i'm not sure if Pokemon is gonna bless us with some (who married who and what they do) sorta thing.
My own mind wishes for them (when they stop making episodes) to have a movie of when they're all much older (as in 21 and up) and have some sorta finish and know who tied the knot and such. Kinda like Elite4James project Arceus.

Ah the good old days of digimon season 2. I loved TaixSora, I would fight with my other digi-pals about who would end up with who. MattxSora=CRACK!XD I love crack unless it turns canon. Crack + Canon = GHEY!xD Ahem, back on topic... I'd like to see some closure. Of course open-endings are fun. But ze shipping debates (or warz) will keep going, and we don't need that. Though I'd love to see the look on the CS peeps faces if Advanceshipping turned canon at the end.xD

The stubborn contestshippers will probably stop watching Pokemon if that happens.

I can see their faces now when they realize the truth...-gets starry eyed- They can cry a river and build a bridge for all I care. But not my friends, -hugs them close- they're too nice to me.

^Lucky you have such friends.
Can anyone think of other anime, or any other show, for that matter, that is similar to Pokemon in the sense that they don't follow exactly romance through and through, and yet, is like Digimon in the sense that they put in romance only near the end?
PS: Hate being n00bish, but I still couldn't grasp the exact meaning of 'Crack'. In my chosen future profession, another meaning comes to mind.

That's what you get for shipping other ships not by connections to you're favorite ships but because you belive in it. (For some reason, KibaHina in Naruto attracts contestshippers.xD) I can't think of another fandom like that. Someone help me, please. Crack means that the ship is basically a joke or was made to spite another ship. Let's say there are two charaters, Joe and Megan (random names here), these two are going out. But some fans don't like them together, therefore they take Joe's best friend, Mick, and pair him with Megan. Then they pair Joe with Megan's best friend, Tanya, who secretly has a crush on Joe with her. The JoexMegan fans get upset and call it crack, because it was made to spite, not because anyone thought it was cute. I simply think that conestshipping started off crack but turned into a real ship once the roses came out.><

Yu-gi-oh GX could count as one, although the couple was made pseudo- canon near the end of one season in the show.

I was just surfing the Internet, looking at some certain Wikia, then realized something. I saw that some franchises(Digimon, Golden Sun, among others) have adapted names for the pairings of their choice. Some names(particularly from Digimon) use a name that's a combination of the names of the paired characters, while another example(this time primarily from Golden Sun) use terms relating to both characters, similar to how shipping in Pokemon are named in English.
Makes me think. How long exactly has the shipping phenomenon been going on? If I remember my past correctly, I got into most, non-canon(as-of-yet) pairings from various franchises(starting with Gundam), long before the concept of "shipping" hit my eardrums.

^ I wouldn't be surprised if there are many other ships from other franchises that have names for them. Maybe the word shipping is relatively new, but the concept is not. Shipping exists even outside of anime franchises, so it's probably very old. Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipping_%28fandom%29There are shipping wars far larger than the ones that happen in Pokemon.

Now I remember that article. But, it says that the earliest use of the term was with the characters in X-Files. Could that really have been where the term of "ship" began, or somewhere else earlier?

There are shipping wars far larger than the ones that happen in Pokemon. Yep, and Harry Potter immediately comes to mind now at the mentioning of large shipping wars, but anyway... As far as the actual usage of the word 'ship', I agree that its very possible that the term may be new even though the act of shipping is not. I know that I had never even heard of 'shipping' until I was 16, but I had still always been fond of pairing up certain characters in tv shows, games, books, etc, so yeah. In fact, Power Rangers comes to mind now because I remember pairing up the Pink and White/Green ranger when I was really young. But idk, the article says X-Files, so it's possible that that's really where and/or when the term was born, so to speak. But again, the concept definitely isn't that new at all.

The stubborn contestshippers will probably stop watching Pokemon if that happens. Unless it's the end. Then most people will stop watching. aNd about JB, he is being sarcastic. He obviously mean Wrong RocketShipping. *Bricked, then tossed in ditch by NN for stealing her thing.
