first of all i must state i am an advanceshipper so even though it might sound like i am just in denial but please allow me to justify why i thought advanceshipping was more appropriate than contestshipping.

first of all i must say i can not deny that there has been a lot of hints BUT the reason why i chose advanceshipping over contestshipping was because of drew's personality and his personality ONLY.

i think even if he got may...he didnt deserve one bit of it

wen he first saw may first thing he did was barraging her with comments that are very harsh to a beginner, if you look closely enough...you will be able to see that he is already doing something wrong...even if he wanted to start a conversation it would be much better to give advice rather than comments, at least with advice you are off with a good start.

of course he was more nice to may as time passes on...this only make him seem like that may needed to do certain things to make him notice her and acknowledge her...again this is the wrong way to go, girls arnt just put there and you pick whichever you want...you need interaction.

thirdly...throwing roses, this is even more stupid... you cant win a girl over just by giving her roses everytime you see her. this is just like you can not buy love or happiness with money, no matter how much money you have you can never buy real love or enjoy real happiness, so drew was basically saying oh look how much roses i have i am so romantic so you should be my girlfriend.

last but certainly not least...for god sakes...he shouted at may and tried to make up for it the next day by being all nice again and giving her a rose. this really disgusted me. this is just like a husband who hits his wife and the next minute he tells her he still loves him, which we all know is wrong and the marriage is a failed one.

in conclusion i can not deny that there are a very large number of hints about contestshipping but the personality of drew throughout the series has drenched the ship with filth not only to me but to many who dislikes this ship because of drew. therefore i will approve that contestshipping is a very strong ship but even if it becomes canon i still will not bow down to contestshipping solely because of drew.

p.s. about him and may leaving at the same time...i think i could be just a coincidence and renew of characters...because if you think of it like a hint...and a possible hint that makes the ship canon...wouldnt orangeshipping also be close to canon since tracey and misty also no longer belongs to the main crew, yet make around the same number of appearance and cerulean is just down the road from pallet...like may and drew travelling in the same region?

correct me all you like on my arguments and ill argu back =P practice for my debates against other skools
