MangaQuestShipping Facts: 

MangaQuestShipping (Japanese: ゴークリ GoKuri) is the belief that Gold and Crystal belong in a romantic relationship. Although it ranks among the more popular ships in Pokémon Adventures, there are still a number of opposers, including SpecialJewelShipping. 

Basis
Gold is one of the two male main protagonists of the Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter, and is typically shown wearing a pair of goggles as well as wielding a billiard cue. He is portrayed to be similar to Red in terms of recklessness and courage in the face of danger; however, unlike Red, he has the tendency to lie at times, a trait noticed by the people around him. In stark contrast, Crystal is shown to be caring and considerate, though she constantly maintains an air of sternness, so much so that Gold even accuses her of always being strict and proper. Although Gold constantly expresses his annoyance at Crystal's seriousness, that doesn't stop him from teasing her, which fans of the pairing see as a sign of his fondness. 

Throughout the series, Gold and Crystal have always been working together, usually with Gold recklessly plunging into battle or executing other unnecessary actions while Crystal frantically attempts to keep him in line. Eventually, she seems to have gotten used to his attitude, as by the end of the Gold, Silver & Crystal saga, instead of chiding him for being a pervert to Green, she wipes tears from her eyes and whispers, "Welcome back... Gold..." While many believe that a relationship is even less likely to happen between two people of vastly different personalities, MangaQuestShippers, however, are firmly rooted in the belief that their polar opposite personalities make it more likely that Gold and Crystal will eventually get together, due to the popular saying: "Opposites attract." Gold's habit of being so carefree and nonchalant means that it's always Crystal's job to straighten him up, and fans continue to wait in hopes that the course of their interaction will cause love to bloom. 

Name origin
The name "MangaQuestShipping" is derived from the fact that Gold and Jimmy are both based on the male playable character Ethan, while Crystal and Marina are both based on the female playable character Kris, though Crystal, unlike Marina, is also the manga counterpart of Lyra. Thus, this can be considered the manga counterpart of QuestShipping in the anime. It could also be a reference to their separate quests to defeat evil (Gold and Crystal to take down the Masked Man, Jimmy and Marina to protect Raikou from harm). 

Similarities
Both have adopted a different method of capturing Pokémon from the conventional method of throwing Poké Balls: Gold uses his billiard cue to hit them, as if playing an actual game of billiard, and Crystal kicks them.
The only other Pokédex holder known to possess a notably unique method of capturing Pokémon is Yellow, who occasionally catches them by attaching a Poké Ball to the end of her fishing rod and swinging it at the selected Pokémon.
