Diamond admires Platinum

CommonerShipping (Japanese: ダイ嬢 DaiJō or ダイプラ DaiPura) is the belief that Diamond and Platinum belong in a romantic relationship. It is one of two main shippings for Diamond & Pearl arc alongside Template:S and is considered it's rival. The name is derived from how Diamond is a commoner compared to the wealthy Platinum.

The basis

Diamond is one of the two main male protagonists of the Diamond and Pearl saga. Usually shown with some type of food item; doughnuts, cookies, etc. He seems to have a very laid back and calm personality. He has shown great care for his Pokémon and enjoys sharing even his food with them. He enjoys the company of Platinum in much the same way, also tending to think kindly of her as a princess figure such as when he first met her.

Platinum is a very well mannered and skilled young girl, she is also the female protagonist of the Diamond and Pearl saga. She has her mind set on obtaining all the ribbons and Gym badges with the assistance of Diamond and Pearl, whom she originally believed to be her bodyguards. She seems to enjoy most of Diamond's antics and even giggles at most of his jokes. She also seems to be oblivious to the apparent crush Diamond has on her.
