Involves: Ash and Latias from the Pokémon Heroes movie
Reaction: Uh...honestly I don't remember much about the movie. I was still a kid the last time I watched it, so yeah. All I know is that Latias has a thing for Ash, and she would shapeshift into Bianca, as in the Bianca from this movie, not the ditzy Bianca from BW.
Points For: Latias is really affectionate towards Ash.
Points Against: Would they ever see each other again? And the kiss at the end...was it really Latias or Bianca? Idk.

AMShipping
Involves: Ash and Mairin
Reaction: Uh...what? I guess if you don't know what ship name to give the pair, just use their first letters. But then...M could mean anyone. Mairin, Misty, May...even Milani...but Milani is not involved in this book, okay?
Points For: In a sense, they seem to have a similar personality. Also...I think they'd get along pretty well. And hey, if Mairin does something clumsy, Ash will save her, and just like almost every girl Ash helps...she falls for him.
Points Against: Again...not sure if they're gonna ever meet. And maybe the Ash saving her theory might not happen because Mairin is probably different than other girls.
Update (12/14/16): THEY DID IN FACT MEET. I wrote this before the whole XYZ thing, so I didn't really expect it. Anyway...they're good friends now.

AmorousShipping
Involves: Brock and Temacu
Reaction: If there was someone who is a crazy as Brock, it's Temacu. I mean...it's not everyday someone ends up liking Brock, right? But then...Temacu is messed up.
Points For: Misty actually approved of this, although Brock didn't really go gaga over her at first.
Points Against: Temacu is gonna marry that doctor guy at the end of 'Heartbreak of Brock', right? Also, Temacu would fall for someone else once that someone kinda saves her.

AmourShipping
Involves: Ash and Serena
Reaction: Well...here we go. Personally, I'm okay with the ship. It's my second liked Ash ship next to Pokeshipping. Every time I watch the XY episodes I always say, 'Oh look. More Amourshipping. You couldn't be more obvious, anime writers.' And at first, I didn't like Amour at all because it felt like Serena was just there to make romance happen, but I ended up being okay with it when Serena decided to become a Pokémon Performer. Oh yeah...and this is my theory...the reason why they made Serena's character like Ash is because of Kalos being based from France, and France is kinda considered like a romantic place. Idk. They do call Paris the 'City of Love'.
Points For: I feel like if I give a short discussion here, and an Amourshipper reads it, they might argue...but yeah. Generally, Serena has a huge crush on Ash. Again...mainly because he helped her blah blah blah. Even though it is unclear if Ash likes Serena, but who knows. Serena would always want to impress Ash and stuff. The anime seems to emphasize this a bit too much sometimes. I'm not gonna enumerate all the instances where Amourshipping happened because there's too many, plus I have only watched the XY episodes once, so some of the moments have not been registered in my head. The only thing I remember well is the flashback. In Ash's side, however, Ash seems to be fond of her, plus Serena isn't really like Ash's other companions who get mad at him if he does something dumb. And also Serena is using the ribbon Ash gave her now. That's something.
