Famous Pokemon ships, and do I ship them? (Part 1)

In 25-year old journey of a show called Pokemon, there has been a lot of progress, following the journey of our protagonist, Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. There are so many things which have got many of us attached to the show, like characters, Pokemon, episode plots.... and ships.

These are some of the most famous ships in the Pokemon universe, but I will give my opinion on them :>

I'll go region-wise, here's the order:

Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola and Galar.

-----------x----------x-----------x-----------x----------x------------x----------x--------x---

1) PokeShipping/SatoKasu (Ash x Misty) - (8/10) - It's actually good :D - Semi-Canon

When Ash got Pikachu, an electric mouse that wouldn't listen to him, as his first Pokemon, they accidentally triggered a flock of Spearows while trying to catch a Pidgey. The flock, enraged, started hunting down the trainer-Pokemon duo. In an attempt to save Pikachu, Ash fell into a waterfall which led to a lake, eventually getting fished out of it by Misty, who told him the way to the Pokemon center so that he can get Pikachu to be alright. Ash 'borrowed' Misty's bicycle to reach there faster because Pikachu's well-being was in his hands, and that's how it all started.

The reason Misty began travelling with Ash is because he took her bike and she wanted it back. Just due to that, they traveled together, along with Brock, for a LONG time. She's Ash's first and foremost travelling companion. Instead of going back and running the Cerulean Gym with her sisters, she decided to continue her journey and cheer Ash on. 

Honestly, it IS a good ship. Though I am not much of a multishipper, but these two have a really good chemistry. Misty's actually hinted to have a crush on Ash, but that doesn't go the same for our protagonist. Though, Ash and Misty care deeply about each other, and Misty once refused to accept goodbye when Ash decided to begin his journey to Hoenn. Though don't worry, Misty returned for sometime in the Hoenn and Alola region later on.

2) PalletShipping/SatoShige (Ash x Gary) - (4/10) - It's kinda okay, but not really - Non-canon
