I don't like to do this, but we'll need to make Drew's character deeper if the fic is going to be well received.
Remember that we are appealing to people who are in the middle of choosing a ship to support.
In the case that promoting waterflowershipping doesn't work (Or is not approved of), what alternative (or a failsafe) should we have?

There was always Brianna, the girl who liked Drew and was jealous of May, thinking Drew liked her and vice versa.
She also had two pokemon similar to Drew. Drew has a Flygon and Masquerain, Brianna has a Vibrava and Surskit.

^That might work, but I have no idea what that shipping is called.><
Of course it might not because Brianna was a Character of the Day.>.O

And yeah, it probably wouldn't be very popular considering the fact that she isn't a main or recurring character. Truthfully, I think that Belleshipping (Drew/Dawn) would probably have a better chance of becoming popular with them than either Drew/Brianna or Drew/Misty.

No, I actually remember this from one of Rave the Rich's stories. It's called AdmirationShipping. Plus, I don't even think we should do this.

Probably both. Wile its not a bad idea, it could just as easily backfire. Not to mention that the chances of this happening successfully are low.

-takes out pen and paper- Well JB, if we quit then the next thing on the list is to umm -squints to read- send godzilla to attack their headquarters.=) The thing after that is prank calling them.xD
But like Lucifer said, the chances are low, I have my -virtual- pen and paper out, lets write down plan B, C, and Q. Just in case.=D

I prefer cavaliershipping over belleshipping, if Dawn has to be paired with someone with an arrogant streak, I prefer it to be Gary than Drew. There are not a lot of options in my opinion, maybe I say this because I prefer this method of pairing the female leads: Advanceshipping - May with Ash Orangeshipping - Misty with Tracey Cavaliershipping - Dawn with Gary Oh well, it's your fic guys so do as you please. Or are you still looking at enticing others?

Well, since James mentioned how he pairs the mains, I'll go with what I do:
AdvanceShipping: AshxMay AppealShipping: DawnxZoey Misty? I say she isn't shippable for me.

I'll do the same:
Advanceshipping: AshxMay (der.-.-) Ikarishipping: PaulxDawn (What? Don't stare at me like that!><) Orangeshipping: TraceyxMisty (I seriously think Misty moved on.=3)
No Plan B, C, and Q then...? <=(

Plan B. *scrathes head* AHA! make a post on ff.net or bulba that is friendly and (about 60 to 70%) supports Advanceshipping. Remeber, you have to gentle, yet agressive. And boot out someone if this goes out of balance. And remeber, you have to target their character type (do they prefer gentle ships, unlikely yet possible ships, obvious ships, etc.)

Okay, so we have down Orangeshipping (which I support) and Advanceshipping, but there are three different Dawn ships listed, appealshipping, ikarishipping, and cavaliershipping (who came up the name for that?). So choose one.

So choose one. I'm guessing Cavaliershipping comes from the episode in which Gary and Dawn met. Dawn and Gary were trying to save some Shieldon from Pokemon Hunter J. Cavaliers are warriors who use Shields. At least that is my reasoning. As an aside, I think this ship has a stronger chance of happening than Appealshipping and Ikarishipping. Dawn appeared to have a bit of a crush on Gary, or at the very least some admiration for him. And unlike Paul, Gary knew her name before they even met face to face. Paul couldn't even remember hers (which was very funny).
