Fanon
Pokémon has a very large fandom. The franchise is primarily a game, but it has diverse adaptations. Stories in multiple medias attract distinct niches of fans. Due to that, different ships involving the counterparts of the same characters are given different names, also the characters as well are considered separated people. For example, Serena of the game, whose popular ships are Lacewoodshipping. Boutiqueshipping and Kalosshipping is not considered the same Serena of the anime, whose popular ship is AmourShipping, since in the games Serena never ever met Ash as he doesn't exist in the games, added to the fact that both Serena have different personalities. Her counterpart of the Pokémon Special manga, Yvonne, also have different named ships, being Laverreshipping a popular involving the character. This rule is applied to all characters that have more than on version appearing in the game, animes and mangas.

In game, most popular ships involve playable character with the rival, champion or the playable character of the opposite or same gender. In anime, Ash gets shipped with all his companions and rivals (Despite of the genre) that follow him in his journey of the season, and Rocketshipping, involving Jessie and James, recurrent characters, are a quite popula ship as well. In Pokémon Adventures manga, the writer has a tradition of pairing together both counterparts of the playable characters of every game.
