Top 10 Pokemon Shipping of the Games

No anime content. Shippings that makes sense in the original pokemon story -the games- or eventually in the manga.
If the shipping is with the main character, of course the inverse genre makes sense.

The characters need to know each other, have chesmity and share a story, so no crackshipping with characters of different regions -that show no hints of know the other existence- just because they look cute together.
The Top Ten
1 Hoennshipping (Brendan vs May)

The rival in oras has a huge crush on the main character, and their family say they talk about each other a lot.In the end they have scene together on the mossdep space center that hints something more.

Just so cute they always say how impressed they are with each other and are always so supportive of each other

This is canon.

2 Burningleafshipping (Red and Leaf)

Lol you sad people that got mad over people picking this pairing can now sit down and quit setting houses on fire. Pokemon Masters came out and look who finally met one another. It proved how valuable this choice is and is credible to be selected throughout the poll. Turns out, it's not a crack pairing. Yeah they never met in LeafGreen and FireRed, but it's safe to say IT NOW qualifies with it being how close Leaf and Red are. Not to mention the admiration they have for one another and the time spent together. Go sip on some straws people of ire.

I love these two together, for me they are complementary, Red is the fighter while Leaf is more like a coordinator or a breeder, something between those two classes. I like to put them like childhood Friends and then they fall in love with each other, a very tipical love story, but effective after all.

Haha yes! This is the ship I root for! It's funny because I literally recommended a ship to be added almost a week ago (Burningleafshipping (Pokémon FR/LG) and find the same one added on as well! This is a pretty old ship because I remember a lot of people talked about it in like 2010 to 2013. It's awesome to know that Burningleafshipping has it's flame going. My OTP. @theXfactor I have seen that story on wattpad! It was really great and I could see why it won. Dragons_rose did an excellent job

Oh my gosh yes! I love this ship! Thank whoever put this up here! RedxLeaf are so adorable together and would make a fitting couple. In my view if Red and Leaf met each other, they would make the perfect couple! So cute arggghhh! And @theXfactor thank you for your posted comment! Your way of telling it shows a broad reason as to why this couple is liked. Your answer was plentiful :) and I will have to look for that story!

3 Hoennchampionshipping (Steven vs May)

They meet at the first time in a cave and he gives a gift to her. They meet again and travel on latios together, he keeps asking what she's thinking, gives a lot of gifts to her, and they spend a lot of time with each other. He explictly says he likes the player on route 120. Steven invites her to his house and when he go for a soul searching travel he let a gift and a letter on his desk adressed
to her explaining his reasons to leave but saying he want to meet her in the future. In the league he talks about the feeling of his chest when he first saw her. And he seeks her for any problem. Later he return and they make a pair on the battle zone.

The ages are irrelevant because the characters act like adults. Also, the avatar is done to represent the player. May and Steven are cute together and they really have romantic oriented interactions.

They have the most developed relationship of oras and their interactions can be interpreted straightly as romantic

May has the age you want her to be. Tumblr social justice warriors are here now?

4 Ferriswheelshipping (N vs Hilda)

From the beginning to end, how they first met each other at first till when they parted ways. It was all, lovely. This is one of my personal favourite ships, their interactions and how N gradually changed little to little because of player/Touko/Hilda/White. Their ride at the ferriswheel, their parting. Everything, every time I think back to it, just overwhelms me with emotions.

Rough and tough tomboy and the innocent boy, perfect! The two are bound by destiny, that ferris wheel ride and his farewell get me every time

When N go to a self discovering travel, Hilda leaves Unova to search N. In the sequel of the games N say to Rosa/Nate he needs to find the player to say how he feels.

N is so obnoxious & acts like a know it all! Hilda deserves better than that whinny pushy brat!

5 Druidshipping (Lucas vs Cheryl)

Really underrated couple - like all Lucas shippings. The main character protects Cheryl in the forest. She often says they make a perfect pair and that she feels elation when traveling with him. Later she gives the main character a gift, and she says that hopes to encounter him later. They eventually make a pair in the battle frontrier.

Sounds a lot like cloud and aerith. She is a lady involved with flowers and nature, has a first sight crush, flirts with him and he became his powerful bodyguard.

After generations, where it's implied the main characters saves her of the old chateau, I can see this shipping happening. And cheryl is hot.

They look sexy together.

6 Moonlilyshipping (Moon vs Lillie)
7 Livecastershipping (Rosa vs Curtis)

Curtis has a huge crush on Rosa, They have a date on the ferriswhell, often trade pokemons and call each other on a daily basis.

8 Boutiqueshipping (Serena and Shauna)
9 Sequelshipping (Hugh vs Rosa)

Hugh & rosa are childhood friends. Rosa went with Hugh to help get his sisters Pokemon back. His sister seems close to both to them too. And he seems to like to look good for rosa when he meets up with her. She was with him through the good and bad.

Hugh was alway there for her. He seemed to care for her a lot, he even helped her out to get her first Pokemon, & he says he’s happy that he has her to count on. They work together well, & never wants to lose contact with her no matter what.

If you played as Rosa in BW2...you should know that this is almost a cannon ship

10 Soulsilvershipping (Lyra vs Silver)

The player meets silver when his life is in a trainweck. But Silver grow, became a better trainer, learning with the main character, to the point of admiring and cheering her at the end. He gets angry when discover that she joined team rocket, and at dragons den silver refuse to pair with Claire, criticizing her appearance and chosing the main character as his partner. He also says to the player that he needs to train his heart, hinting that he developed feelings and wants to understand it.

They are obsessed with each other in the entire game, so them being in love is a plausible explanation

I love this ship so much!

The Contenders
11 Preciousmetalshipping (Gold vs Silver)

Follows him around, understood the importance for love for Pokemon talking to him, didn't like to see him with team rocket, & would rather battle alongside with him than the blue haired chick.

Gold however has seen silver's past, and was fine battling alongside him dispite the struggles silver made him go through & how rude he was to him.

Mot only are they both male but they hate each other

Even though they hate eachother at first, they're just a truly adorkable pairing!

12 Ironwillshipping (Riley vs Dawn)

They meet each other first time on iron island and spend a time on the cave. He gives a gift to her, which is an Lucario. Later Riley and Dawn do a pair in the battle frontrier, and he remember and rambles about the first time he enconted her, saying it was their destiny to meet each other and perhaps they would encounter each other anyway.

Interesting teacher vs classmate relationship

Aw I love this shipping

13 Fortuneshipping (Lucas vs Dawn)
14 Namelessshipping (Red vs Green/Blue Oak)

Blue might be a jerk to red, but he also refers to him as 'pal' at some points (I believe), waits for him to show up when he saw him at that company place, tells him what's going on with him and asks how red's doing (lavender town Pokemon funeral home), and from my recollection, 'smell ya later,' was not used in anyone other than leaf/red (as in he didn't say it to Lyra/Kris/gold).

HAVE YOU PLAYED HEARTGOLD/SOULSILVER AND SUN AND MOON? *spoiler* Once you get Blue's number, you can call him for a rematch but when I got his pokégear number, he talked about red. and in alola, they're obviously on a honeymoon

15 Omegatruthshipping (Brendan vs Zinnia)

Should be higher

16 Rebelshipping (Hilbert vs Bianca)

Childhood friends that started their journey at the same time, hilbert protects her against team plasma, she's often nervous or clumsy around him, and also helps him against team plasma giving items and similar stuff.

Sometimes the smallest actions can symbolise a lot... Bianca's been there for Touya the whole time, she cares for him and Touya would do anything for his friends. Rebelshipping... an unspoken love...

This is so much better than dualrival, I mean the scene in nimbassa city with bianca's dad and elesa makes it almost canon. there are so many hints bianca has a crush on the player character, which is most recognisable with the male pleyer character.

17 Dualrivalshipping (Cheren vs Bianca)

In b2/w/2, Bianca acts all nervous around him when seeing him. Like she stutters & acts nervous around him. Kinda weird for childhood friends, yeah? I think this could be possible, because they are so close since they are childhood friends. But they’d also balence each other out quite nicely with Bianca helping him to learn to accept things & be more patient, while cheren can help her with her klutziness. I do think rebelshippingis cute too, though.

Cheren tells her what she does wrong so she can learn, stayed with her till she was able to travel with them, and with his smart and serious attitude is a good mix for a klutzy, but brave and bubbly girl!

Nope, Cheren is a stuck up brat who almost ruined BW for me, Bianca deserves Touya

18 Originshipping (Wallace vs Steven Stone)

Wallace and Steven being GAY, surprising. What's not surprising is how much money you can save by switching to Geico.

They seem pretty close on how they talked to each other at the end and work pretty well with each other.

Every single one of these pictures is cringetastic. Excuse me while I go barf.

There not gay

19 Twinleafshipping (Barry vs Dawn)

They are childhood friends and are always together. Barry has a dream to became a pokemon trainer, but is prone to give it up when he see that Rowan is not certain if he deserves a pokemon and that could affect Dawn. Jasmine points how their relationship is beautiful.

Best ship ever

20 Folkloreshipping (Lyra and Morty)

Their dinamics remember of Howl and sophie hatter. They make an awesome couple.

21 Morningsunshipping (Sun and Lillie)
22 Heartsoulshipping (Ethan/Gold and Lyra)
23 BrightTomorrowShipping (Shauna vs Calem)

Shauna has explicit feelings for the main character. The fireworks scene in the palace is one of the most explicit romantic scenes in pokemon games.

Very underrated due do boutiqueshipping for some reason... This is very cute & has an extra line that isn't with Serena! 'I never watched fireworks with a guy before! '

This ship should be higher on this list

24 Transceivershipping (Yancie vs Nate)
25 Commandershipping (Tabitha vs Shelly)
