My top 10 favorite Pokemon shippings

10. Rocketshipping (James x Jessie)
Even though I don't particularly like the trio of Jessie, James, and Meowth nowadays cause they get on my nerves by appearing in almost every single episode, accomplishing nothing unlike Cassidy and Butch (who at least gets their jobs done but their plans fail), trying to capture Pikachu when they should've given up on that already and catch a wild Pichu that will eventually evolve into a Pikachu, and the same old stupid motto every time they appear, I do, in fact, actually like this shipping. Jessie and James seems like a perfect couple and in the Pokémon Chronicles episode "Training Daze" we learn a bit more about their relationship. At first, Jessie doesn't seem to like James all that much but when James takes his bandages off and that stuff, Jessie seemed to 'fall in love' with James and got to know him a bit more. I think those two would be a perfect fit to be a couple, as they both having depressing backstories, and most of the time, they are rarely even seen a part from each other. Plus, Rocketshipping is canon in the Electric Tales of Pikachu Manga (as at the end of that manga, Jessie & James get married and have a child), and I feel that they have a strong relationship as partners, so this shipping is perfectly fine with me.

9. JohtofestaShipping (Khoury x Lyra) 
  
These two seem like a pretty good fit for each other. Think about it, even though they are most often shown to be friends rather than an "actual couple", they are actually a few Khoury and Lyra moments in some of the episodes that have appeared in, so I wouldn't mind those two being a couple. That's all I have to saw for this one.

8. WishfulShipping (Cilan x Iris)
    
  This shipping is really unique and kind of cute in my honest opinion. Unlike NegaiShipping, which sucks ass, WishfulShipping is actually a lot better. I mean, Cilan and Iris have opposite personalities (Cilan is a Pokémon Connoisseur who likes to mainly evaluate different types of Pokémon, while Iris is more of this wild and energetic girl who dreams of becoming a dragon master someday) and sometimes, when they appear together, they actually have adorable WishfulShipping moments, so I think  Iris and Cilan are a great fit for each other and a way better fit than Ash and Iris.

7. LagomorphShipping (Ash's Pikachu x Dawn's Buneary)  
  
 LagomorphShipping (Pikachu x Buneary) is the answer to PearlShipping (Ash x Dawn), and I say that's its a good answer to PearlShipping. I mean, come on? It's obvious that in the majority of the episodes that those two Pokémon are together, Buneary actually likes Pikachu, even if Pikachu doesn't respond the same way at times and it's really adorable how Dawn's Buneary flirts with Ash's Pikachu in some of the Diamond and Pearl episodes, so I think that they will be a great for each other, no doubt!  

6. QuestShipping (Jimmy x Marina)
  
Although their love isn't explored as much throughout the Pokémon Chronicles episode "The Legend of Thunder" (all parts), it is hinted that Jimmy actually loves Marina or Marina loves Jimmy, vice versa. In one scene of the episode (I forgot which part it was, maybe it was part 1, IDK) but Jackson (I don't think the name 'Vincent' suits that character so I'm going to stick by calling him by his original name) calls Jimmy and tells him that it's obvious that he and Marina like each other. So, I think Jimmy and Marina will actually be a pretty awesome fit for each other.

5. OrangeShipping (Misty x Tracey)

I am not a Pokeshipper myself (nor will I ever be one because I see Ash & Misty more like in a sibling relationship then a actual couple), but out of all the Misty ships, OrangeShipping has to be my most favorite one (even though I sort of like MangaPokeShipping aka Red x Misty). I mean, even if they aren't seen together a lot (which most of the time they are, even after they both had stopped traveling with each other), I still think that Misty and Tracey are a really perfect fit for each other and in some episodes either in Pokémon Chronicles or Orange Islands, I don't know which one, (I could be wrong though), I vaguely remember a scene where Daisy hints at her sister Misty liking Tracey, and actually I would have to agree with Daisy! Misty & Tracey are a awesome fit for each other and they fit more for each other than Ash x Misty, in my personal opinion. Bottom line, I just think that they are a pretty awesome fit for each other, even if they don't appear in a lot of scenes together.

4. ContestShipping (May x Drew)
  
Come on? Did you seriously think that ContestShipping wouldn't be on this list. I mean,  I don't really like AdvancedShipping (Ash x May) at all, since in my opinion, Ash belongs with Dawn, but I think that May and Drew are a perfect fit for each other, and even though they aren't shown to have romantic feelings for each other (they just have a friendly rivalry) but in some episodes of the Advanced Generation, it shows some hints that May actually likes Drew and in one episode of Battle Frontier, when May gets asked of liking Drew, May responds with saying "Never thought about it" (sounds familiar, doesn't it? *coughs* Pearlshipping *coughs). Bottom line, I actually think that May and Drew are a perfect fit for each other, and this shipping is way better than AdvancedShipping.

3. FourthWheelShipping (Max x Bonnie)

 This couple is actually pretty awesome, yet adorable at the same time. Those two have a ton of things in common, like they both have older siblings who are actually trainers (May and Clemont), both are around the same age, I can go on and on.
Even though Max and Bonnie, sadly won't ever interact in an episode (maybe until the very end of the anime), I still think that this couple is really adorable. Whatever, I think that Max and Bonnie are a perfect fit for each other.

2. GeekChickShipping (Clemont x Serena)
  
This couple is actually very awesome. I am not a big fan of AmourShipping myself and I think Clemont & Serena are a way better fit than Ash & Serena. I mean, come on? There's actually an episode where those two are seen dancing with each other, and Bonnie would really be proud of her brother for finally getting a girl (and especially Serena as his girl), so this pairing is pretty amazing and I think Clemont and Serena are a very perfect fit for each other, way better than Amourshipping in my opinion.


And number one would have to be *drumroll please*

PEARLSHIPPING! This is actually my most favorite Pokémon Shippings! I mean, in several episodes, they're are a LOT of Pearlshipping hints, like that one hint where Ash asks Dawn to dance with him, or them taking each other out for ice cream, etc and even in the Unova region, Ash wanted to battle Dawn first (showing that he may actually love Dawn and Dawn may love him back) and when Ash comes inside Cynthia's vacation home in Unova, Dawn surprises Ash with a 'prank' (A love prank I guess?)
So yeah, even if we'll most likely never see Dawn again, PearlShipping is still my OTP! Ha Ha, take that you AmourShippers and PokeShippers out there (not seriously saying that)
