The Original Trio Parting Ways.

Dieser Zweiteiler ist einfach soo gut. Richtig schöne vibes mit allen, wie gut Misty und Rocko jeweils gezeigt wurden und einfach toll. Misty war richtig niedlich und lebendig und das fand ich richig schön. Man merkte wie viel Spaßi sie hatte und so krass aktiv wirkt sie sehr sympathisch, weil es auch zum Alola vibe passt. In Folge 2 dann immer mit Rocko auf dem Schirm, weil der auf Olivia gehyped war und sie hatte IMMER irgendeinen Ausdruck, was ich sehr lustig fand.

Folge 2 war eher für Rocko. Super lustig, wie immer. Ich find ja Kaki schon sehr lustig, aber hier merk ich wohl, dass ich Rocko einfach mehr mag. Nicht nur waren seine typischen Faxen sau lustig und unterhaltsam, aber auch die Szene mit Kangama war schön. Der vibe mit dem OST, der Ernsthaftigkeit und ich mag ja Rocko Fokus immer. Der hat so ne nette Art an diese Situationen ranzugehen und dann wie er auf Olivia fixiert war, war sehr lustig und eben seine eigentliche Art. Darf halt nicht fehlen und mit sowas war der Zweiteiler hier echt gut

Dann noch die kleinen Throwbacks. Sind wieder zur Schatzinsel gesurft, die Kokowei, 2 insert songs für einen guten vibe. Fogle 1 war halt echt nur vibr wi sie misty alles zeigten und dann die Insel. Auch ne Szene gegen TR, aber die war auch nett weil Song und ejder hat was gemacht

-

Ich fand die beiden Folgen hatte viele gute und auch kleine Momente. zb beide Clips vom Poképroblem waren nur das OS Trio am Strand. Ash schläft zwar ein, aber sind schöne Szenen oder ganz am Ende mit dem Feuerwerk und dem Dialog. Fand ich auch immer sehr schön, weil e snur ein Moment für das Trio war. Sind schöne cht tolle Folgen. Zusammen besser als die ersten Comebacks, aber beide top. Damals halt gute Kmpfe, ejtzt eher vibes und die Charaktere präsentieren

-

Ich find schön wie auch ocko und Misty Alola wertgeschätzt haben. Auch wieder hier wo Ash damals saß. Schöner vibe einfach nur, und weiterhin Alola schätzung,w a sich toll finde

Mal erwähnen, dass diese ANimation so viele niedliche Frames von ihr hat. Find ich toll

-

Ich findsüß wie die beiden einfach nur schauen. So ein Eltenr Moment, wenn das Kind mit Freunden vereint ist. Ist schon süß

-

Misty hatte Rocko so oft auf dme Kiecker, weil sie das gewohnt ist xD Das war so ne lustige Sachen die Folge über. Ihre Ausdrücke da

-

Die Szenbe ist toll. Der OST, wie ernst das wirkt und Rocko Fokus halt. Die Herangehensweie bei sowas ist immr gut von ihm

-

Auch wieder eine schöne Szene. Is aber doch schade, dass die beiden dann nicht mal Cameos während der Liga hatten :( Ich hab zu dieser Szene damals soooo viel geschrieben, schaff ich nicht nochmal, aber ist toll. Auch wie Ash und Misty ihre Ziele schreien. Dieser vibe davon ist so nett, das Scenery hier und deren Freundschaft

Why I M O, Pokeshipping is dead. ( kinda hot take, sorry pokeshippers. )

Now as to what your here for, what killed pokeshipping. There are 3 main contributors to the death of pokeshipping.

1.) The length of time from when misty was replaced to now,

2.) Serena and Amourshipping

3.) The Pokémon sun and moon Anime.

The length of time from when misty was replaced to now. Now while this might not have been much of an issue if the other 2 bullet points didn’t exist, it has been over a decade at this point, since we last saw misty, meaning that we have a severe lack in character development, and that gives time for other potentially better ships to be created, which leads me to my next point,

Serena and Amourshipping. Possibly one of the biggest ships right now, (which at this point isn’t going to fizzle out anytime soon. ) With Amourshipping going so far, as to introduce a major plot point in ash’s story by having Serena be his childhood acquaintance, many other points that multiple poketubers like Catch ‘Em All Saul, bring up in their videos from years past, to the kiss, and even the writers basically confirming the darn thing.

Amourshipping Confirmed?

So at this point, ( unless they throw all that away, which please. Don’t. ) there is next to no hope of pokeshipping to ever become cannon, which is only further proven by my last point,

The Pokémon sun and moon anime. Now, this is honestly the iceberg that sank the ship, because Brock and Misty returned twice in the Sun and Moon anime, which I’m pretty sure was for let’s go promotion. Now this is where all hope is lost for pokeshipping because even though they returned twice, Misty had literally zero emotional moments with ash whatsoever. No pokeshipping pandering, no flashbacks, nothing. Here’s another video explaining that further.

Now while the only good thing to come out of the re-return episodes was Brock possibly finally finding a girlfriend,

Brock x Olivia

This was the point of no return for Misty and pokeshipping in general. Misty, even though she returned twice, in the most recent anime, had literally no development, and nothing to show how she grew as a character since her absence, her return seems pointless and devoid of substance, and with another ship still gaining popularity at an exponential rate, I’m sorry pokeshippers, but,

It’s time to pay your respects, and move on.

R.I.P Pokeshipping: 1997-2019

Oh wow, a return visit.

I'm clearly not here for this seminar you've thrown onto me but since you have invited me to critique your opinion in hearty debate I will pose the following:

1 - It has been 3 years, dub and sub, since Misty's last full anime appearance (SM103), in addition her silhouette also makes an appearance in the Journeys series - episode 18, 2 years ago. No matter how long it has been, Misty always tends to show up in every series in some shape or form, that longevity does indeed mean something regarding both her popularity and her appeal to fans and writers.

2 - I don't want to trample on Amourshipping, we've hit a period where the bitter wars you try to revitalise with this attempt to attack Pokéshippers has dwindled, people are respectful again. What I will say is, in my personal opinion, Amourshipping is not the 'better ship', that is purely a subjective matter. For me, Amourshipping was in fact hugely detrimental to Serena's character growth, and made her less of what she could've been in the series. Being someone Ash met in the past is a far cry to actual attachment, but I would never refute that Serena does have feelings for Ash - despite in my mind being incompatible with each other. When the kiss happened, many Amourshippers acted like it was a victory lap, and that Pokéshippers had gone quiet to acknowledge that. In truth, Pokéshippers like myself see it for what it actually is: Serena kisses Ash, then walks away. While this acts as a strong pro for the Amourshipping department it does not count as canonizing the relationship, if so then Ash will have then cheated on Melody and either Bianca or Latias who had also kissed him. We can dig deeper into such matters like Ash deciding not to follow up on that and simply going home and then to Alola without a care, or how it is never brought up since even when Ash and Serena crossed paths in the Journeys series, but that's a tiresome debate to be had that I'd rather not indulge. Conclusively on this point, Amourshipping is just as not-canon as Pokéshipping, we each have our receipts but at the end of the day Ash is not currently in a relationship.

3 - I wonder about that statement, because when Serena came back in Journeys I saw no such hints or 'pandering' for Amourshipping. However, if I asked an Amourshipper if they found ship hints in that episode I think they may disagree with my thoughts, in that same vein I disagree with your sentiment too. In the 3 SuMo episodes where Misty appears there are plenty of Pokéshipping moments, flashbacks and emotional moments - including a peaceful walk on the sunset beach where Ash talks about all the things he wants to show Misty around Alola. In terms of development she has had some in having acquired Mega Evolution, she has trained Psyduck to both learn how to swim and control his psychic powers, she has overtaken her sisters as the De Facto gym leader, and has enough status to be invited by Kukui as guest lecturers in his Pokémon School so she's still developing.

Brock and Olivia's romance was fun but it has no weight in this argument, no idea why you're trying to cite it as such. As for 'other ships growing at an exponential rate' what ship do you think you're talking to? Any new ship Journeys provides is no straw on our backs, and surely that applies to all past-companion ships.

In conclusion, your essay needs a lot of work. It lacks proper citation from unbiased sources, not to mention factual information. Your three points end up contradicting one another as if Amourshipping is exempt from the same things you feel Pokéshipping suffers, even though Serena's gap between XY and Journeys twice as long as Misty's last SuMo appearance and that, as you pointed out, other ships since ours have entered into existence. The Brock/Olivia strawman does not help your case either, nor does the choice of audience. So your essay has inevitably failed in its intention to make me 'give up' on a ship I love, but in all fairness this was never going to work.

I'm not quite sure if you do this to try and antagonize or try and get people to express why they love a ship by issuing conflict, but realistically there are better places you could focus your energy on. For the most part I do think you're after attention, and you want to see how long people will play your silly games, but if you really do believe in what you're saying I actually think you're scared, scared of 2 words and one big number:

Pokéshipping: 1997-present

that charizard is so friggin cool...!!

....Ok y’know what.

I love dub Lana. Her line deliveries in SM103 (second part of the Original Trio in Alola arc) are A++ game. It was finally up on Pokemon TV so I checked it out, and ohmygod that episode worked well in dub. Since I got used to the Battle Frontier/Diamond & Pearl Brock during my project last year, I absolutely loved his performance in this episode’s dub. Also I’m not sure if I’ve said this, but Olivia’s got a good voice.

(And fyi, I have watched today’s ep, Sm123, with subtitles, and well, since I seemed to actually understand it so well I didn’t feel like saying anything new. Except that, I keep on loving Suiren/Lana more and more by every episode. Gosh.)

....anywho. Had to have a say on those. I think I’ll be checking out Poni Arc in dub as soon as it arrives on Pokemon TV as well. :3 Hate the music replacements, but the OS Trio in Alola two-parter was pretty great to watch!

If they don't translate "World's End Fall (in love)" to "Continental Crush (on you)" I will bus my ass over to Bellevue and kick in TPCI's fucjing door

「ハナダジムを世界一のジムにする！」

To make Cerulean Gym the number one gym in the world is a very nice resolution. I really like seeing Misty telling everyone how she takes the gym leader role as a challenge with pride instead of seeing it as an unwanted burden.

i feel so good about this final scene. ash phrased it like learning and falling in love with more and more things about pokemon and becoming a pokemon master.. and isn’t that just the perfect explanation the kind of a pokemon master ash wants to be. it’s wholesome. you know that warm feeling you get when you love a character and see them doing/saying something that makes you love them even more? yeah like that.

the affirmation of their friendship and their love for each other was palpable as well. it was so good! this scene was a good goodbye to brock and misty (for now). a good couple of episodes.

[smilingperformer]

I watched SM103 with subs now, laughed a ton, I love the OS trio and just..... I started crying so, so much at the very last minute of the episode. The friendship Satoshi, Takeshi and Kasumi have is beautiful. I love them. They’ve known each other for a long time. They know each other through and out. This was amazing. I’m glad Pokeani brought Kasumi and Takeshi to Alola. I’m glad we were given this gift. I love Sun & Moon for this. ♥
