| A '''nevermet Ship''', while the specific term might be a lesser-used alternative for {{s|ThirdWheel|Brock and Tracey}}, in the general sense is a denotation of a couple who have not canonically met each other (interaction-wise, or even simply being on-scene together) in a specific medium, be it {{pkmn|game}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, or {{pkmn|manga}}.
| |
| | |
| ==History and Recent Connotations==
| |
| The very Ship it was originally named for was one of the best examples of a true nevermet Ship back in the day, when there hadn't been any main characters that hadn't met prior to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. However, by the end of the third season, the application of the term was nullified (Brock and Tracey did then meet), but never stopped being about how people could 'ship two people together if they hadn't been acquainted (in relation to people 'shipping Brock and Tracey, when there was little to go by). It's notable that this was early in the series by today's standards, when the likes of {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Pallet}}, and {{s|Rocket}} were the three biggest Ships of the time, and even the lesser Ships that ultimately mattered (such as {{s|Ego}}, {{s|League}}, and {{s|Elder}}) were still based on something in the minds of its fans, and romantically pairing two people who hadn't had that chance likely seemed strange.
| |
| | |
| People 'ship nevermets for various reasons, and mostly comes down to one excuse: "Because they'd be cute together." Little else is seldom expanded upon past answering why, basing their decisions on looks or how personality might affect the other character they wish to involve. It's this mindset that does divide the fandom sometimes, with people who don't like nevermet Ships because of what they are and people who don't think of them as a problem.
| |
| | |
| There are isolated cases where nevermets are created solely to appease one or a small group of people's love for one character wishing to pair them with everyone (or simply as many people as possible). This can actually result in a major influx of pairings with names that only a few people enjoy, which others occasionally see as a waste toward a coined name that could be "better used" for an actual met pairing.
| |
| | |
| Nevertheless, there are also cases similar to ThirdWheelShipping, of Ships that eventually stop being nevermets in the long run, but these are predictably few. {{s|SapphirePearl}} had a moderate fan-following before {{an|May}}'s three-episode excursion in [[Sinnoh]], where she finally meets {{an|Dawn}} and creates evidence of believed mutual attraction in one go.
| |
| | |
| Nevermet Ships that are crafted around related-version game characters with inevitable anime counterparts are not considered true nevermets, such as {{s|Hoenn}} and {{s|Fortune}}. This is because the characters interact on occasion through-out their game storyline, and serve as undistinguished terms for both the game and anime counterparts.
| |
| | |
| Ships involving members of the Pokémon League (Gym Leaders, Elites, and Brains) are also not majorly considered nevermets by the fandom as a whole, but if they aren't shown to have met in the games, anime, or even the multitude of manga series (examples of Ships that aren't are {{s|Ignition}}, {{s|Graceful}}, and {{s|Origin}}), they are technically so. Regardless, Ships involving League members are generally not called out on being nevermets, so aren't usually included within the bounds of what "purists" consider to be fangirl whim.

| ====NewReplacementShipping====
| |
| {{shipping|color=light|{{ga|Kris}}|{{ga|Lyra}}|jap=コトクリ|rom=KotoKuri|'''Information'''
| |
| :Considered "clonecest" by some and a regular couple by others, this pairing separates itself from the rest of the fold by technically being impossible (but that has never stopped fandom before). With Lyra's insertion, Kris is seemingly removed from her canon place. However, speculation of her presence in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is considered with a supposed Easter egg: where in past games that an untaken [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] [[Poké Ball]] would remain untaken, the third Poké Ball in [[Professor Elm]]'s lab disappears at some point in the game. The NPC shows no proof in being the one who took it, but neither does anyone else. The idea is it is a silent reference to the usurped [[player character]], but the truth—if there is one—remains unknown.
| |
| | |
| '''Similarities'''
| |
| :* They are both main characters in the Pokémon games focusing on [[Johto]], directly opposite the character {{ga|Gold}}, and are the ''only'' pair of female protagonists to share a male counterpart.
| |
| :* Kris was the first female protagonist of the game series, and Lyra was the first replacement female protagonist.
| |
| :* Both have pigtails that "defy gravity".
| |
| :* Both debuted in the anime as focal characters, along with a love interest (or two)—[[Vincent]] and {{jo|Jimmy}} to {{jo|Marina}}, and [[Khoury]] to {{an|Lyra}}—and a primary, three-stage {{type|Water}} attacker that can potentially evolve once more.
| |
| | |
| '''Name origins'''
| |
| :*''NewReplacement'' is derived from Kris' absence from HGSS and Lyra taking her place.
| |
| | |
| '''Trivia'''
| |
| :* Kris and Lyra are confirmed ''not'' to be the same character.
| |
| :* Kris's {{pkmn|Adventures}} counterpart, {{adv|Crystal}}, wears Lyra's outfit in {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}.

| |
| :*Both {{an|May}} and [[Ritchie]] own a {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]]: {{TP|May|Blaziken}} and [[Zippo|Charmeleon]], respectively. However, it is still unknown if Ritchie actually started with Charmeleon. Also, they both own {{2t|Bug|Flying}} [[Pokémon]] that happen to be based on [[List of Pokémon by body style|butterflies]]: {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and [[Ritchie#Happy|Butterfree]], respectively.
| |
| :*Both traveled through time and changed the course of the future and for someone else by altering the past.
| |
| :**Interestingly, both met an elderly female character in the present time who had lost a male love interest in the past because of an accident that happened when they left the female characters. Both went back in time and saved the males' lives and they were able to live and have a relationship with the females they had left behind in the past. In a sense, they helped turn tragic love stories into happy endings.
| |
| | |
| '''Name origins'''
| |
| :*''AdvanceClone'' is meant to be a play on [[AdvanceShipping]]. ''Clone'' is added because fans consider Ritchie to be a clone of Ash.

Gary ({{gen|I}}) evolved his {{p|Eevee}} into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} ({{gen|II}}) and May ({{gen|III}}) evolved her {{p|Eevee}} into {{TP|May|Glaceon}} ({{gen|IV}}).

| '''Name origins'''
| |
| :*''Brunett'' is a misspelling of both 'brunet' and 'brunette', disallowed to be corrected to the latter when it was pointed out it wasn't spelled correctly, because ''BrunetteShipping'' was listed as [[Delia Ketchum]] and [[Jasmine]] prior, and the acknowledged misspelling went through. <!--Delia/Jasmine was submitted as of early June '04 and Gary/May submitted as of Dec 14th '05, with after-the-fact-knowledge of its misspelling by the submitter, as noted by moderator MondoTR in the List thread in BMGf's Shipper's section.-->
| |
| :*''Shell'' is the prefix used for the shipping of Squirtle/Wartortle/Blastoise. In connection but not relation, all three were shown in the on-screen ownership of both Gary and May as of [[DP077]]: {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}} for Gary and {{TP|May|Wartortle}} for May.

| {{shipping|color=dark|[[Max]]|[[Mira]]|'''Similarities'''

| :* Both appear to have an affinity for {{type|Psychic}} [[Pokémon]]: four of the Pokémon Max befriends are either Psychic-types themselves or are capable of Psychic attacks, and Mira not only owns the entire {{p|Abra}} line between the anime and games, but more than not, the Pokémon she uses in the games fall under the same specialties.
| |
| :* Both initially tricked {{Ash}} when he first met them: into thinking Max was the [[Petalburg City]] [[Gym Leader]], and to helping Mira out for something that was essentially a fib.

| ====DiamondShipping====
| |
| {{shipping|color=dark|{{an|Giovanni}}|{{Delia}}|'''Information'''
| |
| :The following is heavy [[fanon]] context:
| |
| | |
| :Most supporters choose to believe DiamondShipping is primarily a past-Ship, one that happened prior and likely still isn't continuing in the currently time line. Under this flag, a lot of supporters usually consider the possibility of Giovanni being {{Ash}}'s father, a subject still spoken of—and occasionally debated upon—today; Giovanni still remains a candidate to some arguers (by DiamondShippers and non-supporters alike). How Delia and Giovanni would have gotten together is a mystery, although Delia alludes to Ash's father in an early episode when he starts his journey and arrives in [[Viridian City]]. He calls her on a videophone and she tells him that it took his father four days to reach Viridian. This is the only mention of Ash's father in the whole series.
| |
| | |
| :Fans of the pairing point to how the writers have gone out of their way to avoid a meeting between Ash and Giovanni. Their semi-meeting in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' is commonly ignored due to the two being so far apart in the scene in question.
| |
| | |
| '''Name origins'''
| |
| :*''Diamond'' is derived from the idea that Giovanni appears to be a man who would buy diamonds (or other expensive goods) for the woman he likes; in the same vein<!--or retroactively?-->, it also takes the [[Diamond Badge]] into consideration.
| |
| | |
| '''Trivia'''
| |
| :*This Ship is past-canon in the stage-production [[Pokémon Live!]], where Delia and Giovanni had a prior relationship, broken off before Ash was born (he is not Giovanni's son).

| ====NovelShipping====
| |
| {{shipping|color=dark|[[Paul]]|[[Misty]]|jap=シンカス|rom=ShinKasu|'''Information'''
| |
| :A surprisingly popular nevermet of moderate following, NovelShipping appears to have the same charm as {{s|Ego}} without the hints, or {{Gary}}'s suave arrogance, when it comes to its support. Misty's temper in the face of stubborn obstacles is key to her character, and where Gary and Paul are the types that make Ash mad (demonstrating their affect on him), it's theorized by supporters that Paul is the unmovable type (unlike Gary, who has shown to be capable of setting aside hard feelings early on in the series) that would incite the same kind of reaction in Misty that Ash often times does to her. Triggering that sort of response is also part of the {{s|Poké}} appeal as well, rather leaving a fine line between particulars with the interconnections.
| |
| | |
| '''Name origins'''
| |
| :''Novel'' comes from the belief of the coiner that the couple was, at the time, a "novel idea". Retroactively from the coiner, one can say the characterizations between Misty and Paul are some of the same types to be found in romance novels, and would take a similar plot to get them together.
