Top Ten Overrated Shippings

From any animation, game, book, comic or any other you can think of, what is a ship you believe gets too much popularity and people make it bigger than it is. Doesn't necessarily mean you hate or dislike the ship or anything, just that it shouldn't have gotten as popular. Shipping is wanting to see two people in a relationship.
The Top Ten
1 Amourshipping (Pokemon the series XY)

The biggest problem with amourshipping and amourshippers, is that they become stuck on thing that are obviously meant to catch their attention. "Ash and Serena's First Date" and "Ash and Serena getting one at the dance" it's literally JUST a gotcha title and it's representative of how Serena thinks. And they inflate every single instance without any rational thought. SHE considered her being alone with Ash as a "date." And then because he gave her a ribbon, one that wasn't even a real gift. They just take too many things out of context and it's ridiculous. If he talks to her, it's " amourshipping" if he saves her from falling off a damn cliff it's " amourshipping". It's just become incredibly unreasonable.

This is the best Pokemon ship of all time. Seriously, Ash is always concerned and worried about Serena, and when the gang gets separated, he always calls for her first. He is always supporting her dreams and he was genuinely happy when he saw that Serena wore the ribbon he gave her. Besides, look at Ash's face when he saw her fenniken outfit! I bet this ship is hated because Misty came onto the series before Serena. I bet if Serena was first, then Misty would be getting the hate. Serena isn't just a stereotypical girly girl. She's brave and always chases her dreams, and I know she's gonna make it big. I really hope this ship gets more love.

There are capsized ships sitting on the ocean floor that are not as one sided as this shlock. Wow! They met as kids...for like 5 minutes before going their separate ways. That's clear because Ash forgot about Serena. If he did remember her then that would imply they hung out after they rejoined the main group. Gary was a childhood friend before they became rivals and then friends again. Even then the new season may have accidentally or deliberately changed the past again and removed the first meeting of Ash and Serena. As now Ash misses the summer camp Professor Oak hosts in Enter Pikachu. (Ash being 6 at the time, which is what he appeared to look to be around when he and Serena first met.) Furthermore there is no mention of a past or future time where Ash goes to the camp. (I.E. His mom saying "You went last year." Or "Maybe next year." after he misses it.

Also take the plot for the ribbon episode and write it for any of the other seasons and you're gonna get the same result ...more

(Ash & Serena) The only thing it's got going for it in the whole series is the whole childhood friend thing and outside of Pokemon that's been done... a lot. But people make it bigger than it is saying Serena's the first to crush on Ash, but they push aside Macy, Anabel, and Angie just cause their side characters. It doesn't matter. Someone crushing on him won't make a difference as it didn't the first 3-4 times (depending if you want to count Misty). There is also the fact that he had ditched her twice already in the anime. Obviously, it's as one-sided as all the other females that crushed on him.

2 Dramione (Harry Potter)

They barely interact. People who hardcore ship them obviously can't distinguish between fiction and reality. Yes, there are good fanfics out there which is why they're so popular, but people have to realize there are some extremely fundamental problems with this ship. It's beyond problematic. It's like shipping a jewish person with a nazi. He literally hates her and her kind...

It's J.K. Rowling who should've had the whole entire Slytherin House go through proper character development back then before in the first place. She could've had the whole entire Slytherin House go through proper character development back then before in the first place but no instead she just had to left it unknown at the end of Harry Potter.

People only ship them because they like Emma x Tom together because Draco and Hermione have no interactions... Draco is a pure bully towards her in every interaction and she seriously hates him. They never had any scope for being a couple people only ship them for visuals no chemistry at all

My sister loves this ship. Meanwhile, I don't get it. Draco and Hermione hate each other. There is no secret love between them. Quit acting like there is.

3 Makorra (LoK)

(Mako & Korra) From season one I did not like this... Makorra was horribly written I'm sorry. From the awful love-triangle mess to the breakup to the messing of Mako's character from finding his only bro to out over finding Korra to making Korra irritatingly pathetic I DO NOT want.

Makorra was such a horrible ship and Mako was such a horrible person. He played with both Asami and Korra's hearts and Makorra was so random and badly written. Korrasami is way better. Why does anyone even like this ship?

Mako is so indecisive on whether to choose Korra or Asami even when he was with Korra

4 Ikarishipping (Pokemon)

Nope nope nope

The fact that this has SUPPORTERS is worse than the sometimes frustrating amourshipping fanbase (even though I support it myself)

Dawn is my favorite pokegirl, and paul? He's just... NOPE.

Yep. The only reason this is shipped is because "opposites attract"

(Paul & Dawn) There was little interaction and even less a positive one

5 Inukag (Inuyasha)

Now, I enjoy the Like an Old Married Couple trope as much as anyone, but about half of Inuyasha and Kagome's time is spent fighting over tiny little things (seriously, you could make a drinking game over how many times they get into a stupid argument) and treating each other like crap. Exactly how they fell in love so quickly in the series is beyond me. Inuyasha insults and ridicules Kagome on a regular basis and doesn't care that she has a life outside of shard detecting, and yet she's swooning over him as early as episode 11. Inuyasha at least has the excuse that Kagome is Kikyo reborn, but considering how awful she can be to him (sitting him when he doesn't deserve it, berating and belittling him because he says or does something she doesn't like, expecting him to be the perfect boyfriend when they aren't even a couple), that doesn't seem like enough for him to fall like a ton of bricks for her.

So basically, we have a pairing that's touted as being the truest of true loves, ...more

I don't hate this couple or anything, I even think they can be cute sometimes, but I have always loved the relationship between Inuyasha and Kikyo and it still baffles me how much hate InuKik and Kikyo in general get (or at least used to get), just for being in the way of Inuyasha and Kagome. I still think that if Kikyo hadn't died, Inuyasha would not have ended up with Kagome. Again, I don't hate Inuyasha and Kagome together, I just find them to be very overrated.

That other imperfect couple, Ranma and Akane is worse than this couple or this other imperfect couple is worse than Ranma and Akane.

Rinne and Sakura are better than Ranma and Akane and Inuyasha and Kagome alongside all the other previous love hate couples.

6 Harry and Hermione (Harry Potter)

Eh it would have been better than the canon couples jkr went with them... but in the end, they were good friends & nothing showed them of them interested in each other romantically. Just because they are good friends, doesn't mean they should become lovers. It's fine to have just a friend who is the opposite sex.

It also sucks that jkr paired up people in the same house. How boring.

Hell no why would somebody include this on the list this is the best ship ever!

I never liked it, but if you like it I respect your opinion.

7 Draco and Harry (Harry Potter)

This had no development whatsoever.

8 Rey and Kylo Ren (Star Wars)

Rey is an obnoxious Mary Sue, and Kylo Ren is an annoying crybaby. I guess they're perfect for each other, but I hate both of them, they're somehow worse than JarJar Binks. I think Finn had potential to be a much better protagonist than Rey, and Snoke a much better villain than Kylo Ren but unfortunately they ruined both of them in the Last Jedi.

This makes no sence, they share no love interest with each other- watch the force awakens for all of the proof.

This is an actual thing? this makes no sence- to star off, they both show no love interest in eachother, don't belive me? watch the force awakens for yourself then

9 Soarindash (My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic)

At least Soarin is a better choice for Rainbow Dash shipping than Sonic, that's for sure. Yes to same-series ships! No to crossover ships! End of shipping wars! enough said.

10 Mario x Toadette (Super Mario)
The Contenders
11 Sans & Toriel (Undertale)

This ship is even more overrated than it really is, the Soriel shippers even made a Soriel Day (March 10th is the day where they celebrate it) on Tumblr (I'm not even joking). Like, do these Soriel shippers really need to make an anniversary day of their ship?

I don't like this one very much, but I constantly see people getting attacked for it. (it's better than frans though...) I see sans as like, frisks uncle.

She is like a million years older than him.

This is super overrated.

12 Rocketshipping (Pokmon anime)

To the person who says there's ZERO evidence, then you there's no way you've ever watched Pokemon at all. And why is this as high as second? It's one of the most underrated Pokemon pairings, you don't even know the meaning of the word overrated since it's this high on the list. Any Ash pairing are the most overrated as there's tons of art and fanfiction in comparison, Poke- and Amourshipping is the most overrated of them all. Rocketshipping is actually the most possible to become canon, they're both adults and has the chemistry. Ash pairings can only work if there's a time skip, kids don't get into serious relationships. That said, before you say something is overrated you need to learn what it actually means.

There is ZERO evidence for Rocketshipping, in the English anime of course. People misread a close, sibling-like friendship for something else. I HATE that about shippers! I'm like, really? It is no one's business who ends up in a romantic relationship with who! And they push it even farther by touting their little ship-religion and by trying to force it onto others. Anyway, when I first started watching the anime about a year and a half ago, trying to understand the characters and their dynamic with one another, I thought Jessie and Jame's relationship could possibly be romantic. But I quickly realized it definitely wasn't and now it irks me when I see anything Rocketshipping-related. Those idiot shippers can go on believing a lie, living in their little cuckoo land, and dreaming up disgusting fantasies. Let the stupid be stupid still!

James would "rather die" than marry Jessie and Jessie shows obvious interest in other guys, yet rocketshippers still insist this is a thing. Nothing romantic has happened the past 20 years (and no, the manga is not canon to the anime). But of course, any kind of affection between two characters is automatically taken as a sign that something romantic is going on. Jessie and James clearly care for each other very much, they're basically platonic life partners (I'm pretty sure James even said so himself in a Japanese-only mock interview). Another thing that irritates me about this ship? It either leaves Meowth out or the shippers act like he's Jessie and Jame's surrogate son. No. It's clear all three of them are on equal terms and they love each other like siblings. Jessie even called Meowth "dear" at one point. Anyway, Jessie and Jame's dynamic is very much like Sharpay and Ryan's from High School Musical. James is the submissive, slightly effeminate, younger brother and Jessie is the ...more

(James & Jessie) James ran away from his family so he wouldn't marry Jessabelle because she was controlling, and Jessie is very controlling.

13 Foxy and Chica (Five Nights At Freddy's)
14 Wario & Mona (Warioware)

Honestly considering how rude disgusting and greedy Wario can be I doubt any relationship would work for him if he doesn't improve his bad manners. To me he's just a adventurous hoarder destined to live alone.

Mona: It's Wario's game, so you'll start on his stage. Spin the GBA until the hand is on his ugly mug (I hope he's not reading this! )

So she thinks he's ugly lol how can she love him?
Then she contently worries about getting paid. While Wario is greedy why would you do that to her?

Mona finds him ugly and wants to be paid. How can that be a happy relationship?

€�Is Mona supposed to be a teenager? "
That's true! She's a cheerleader at her school & wario is at least an adult he looks to be at the very least in his mid 30's more likely 50's. This is a very gross ship.

15 Lams - John Laurens x Alexander Hamilton (Hamilton)
16 Waluigi & Rosalina (Mario Kart 8)

People they never f-ing dated it's listed no were that they even are acquainted with each other at all anywhere so S T FU and get over it fan work doesn't make anything true so stop spreading BS!

What the hell? This is just random and weird.

17 Lifty x Shifty (Happy Tree Friends)
18 Nick x Judy (Zootopia)

This ship doesn't make sense at all. A fox and a rabbit?! Which moron even made this ship in the first place?!

It felt forced. I really wish they'd just stayed friends.

This ship is just overrated.

19 Steve and Bucky (Avengers)

Apparently people never heard of platonic friendships.

20 Bendy & Boris (Bendy and The Ink Machine)
21 Jelsa - Elsa x Jack Frost (Frozen/Rise of the Guardians)
22 Knuckles x Rouge (Sonic)

They are rivals and Knuckles doesn't even like Rouge. The "crush" that Rouge has is only part of her being flirty. She would act like this to ANY male character honestly, even to Sonic himself. Plus, Rouge tries to steal the Master Emerald from Knuckles all the time. This shipping also makes Knuckles look dumb when the fact is that he's much more intelligent than Ed from The Lion King.

No offense to anyone who ships Knouge but Shadouge is much more hinted in the games and comics (and no, it has nothing to do with Shadow seeing Rouge as a sister. She flirts with him too for Mobius' sake).

The only 'hint' that really matters in the game is knucklehead's song where all he said was he found her attractive and that's it. Even further in the song, he voiced his disinterest about everything else about her.
Looks<personality. Even knucklehead is smart enough to figure this out kids.

Plus she flirts with knucklehead like she flirts with everyone else (besides shadow). To get what she wants (aka master emerald). That's not a good base to base a relationship on.

Rouge doesn't seem to "love" knuckles anymore than any other guy she flirts with to get what she wants. But people are obsess with it regardless because of some lyrics from an old game that knuckles sang when nowadays he shows 0 interest in getting with her.

23 Foxy & Mangle - Five Nights at Freddy's
24 BBRae - Beast Boy x Raven (DC Comics)
25 Puppyshipping (Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters)
