You missed an episode called "Spontaneous Combusken". It implies contestshipping and also has proof that May has feelings for Drew when Brianna asks her if she likes him or not and when Drew leaves. You should totally add that part. Otherwise the reasoning was really awesome.Loved the video.

[@amandacommins9364]

I already shipped Contestshipping, but now watching this, it sort or renewed it since I haven't seen the episodes with May in a while. Also, I now can see why May would have a crush on him in the first place. I mean, come on, what girl wouldn't eventually develop a crush on someone who gives you roses repeatedly?

[@Toaddj1234]

I would fall in love! I would just be like, "OMG!!!!!! I'M FANGIRLING!!!!!" or like "Oh stop it you!" Or should I say "stop it Drew?" you sounds like Drew, alright my obsession has gone too far.

[@gil2644]

Even though this is an old comment, but I kinda wanna see a rivalry between Drew and Brendan. Brendan has been shown several times, so maybe there's a chance May have met him in the anime.

Well I still read fan fictions bout them❤😂trust me.. Those are amazing.. I mean I can't believe some of the authors are mostly adults like me.. The depth of their writing is just amazing

[@koemi0199]

Never forget the whole Spontaneous Combuskin episode. When Brianna’s like “I think you like Drew!” And May blushes and fiddles with her fingers “like him!? To be honest I’ve never really given it that much thought” then at the end May watches Drew walk away with the biggest blush in her face while holding a fainted Brianna and you just know she’s thought about it

[@yourhighnessyt6965]

that comes of her mind quickly although. If someone asked me that in front of people, I would blush because of the embarrassment but not because I like the person their talking about

[@koemi0199]

@@yourhighnessyt6965 When someone says May and Ash are in love in another episode May doesn’t blush at all and immediately rejects the idea. Usually a character would blush and say “ahh no you’ve got it wrong!!” But the fact that- when asked about Drew- she’s written to say “to be honest... I’ve never really given it that much thought...” while blushing shyly and fiddling with her fingers (not saying no to the idea immediately out of embarrassment like you’d expect) and THEN at the end of the same episode she blushes again simply because she’s watching Drew walk away... Added to another episode where she literally blushes again just watching him walk away literally because he complimented her and said “you were good! Take care”. And my FAVORITE episode where Drew saves her friends and acts like it was no big deal, then when Ash is explaining at the end of the episode that Drew saved the day she COMPLETELY ignores him to walk over and talk to Drew (with Max smirking to himself saying “I don’t think she heard you Ash...”). I dunno I just think it’s cute so I’m gonna support it! Obviously feel free to disagree, if you don’t ship it that’s cool but I just love ships like this so much ^-^

[@koemi0199]

Also in their final episode together, when May is talking to Drew alone on stage and says she was just thinking about him and Drew is all “were they good thoughts?” And May blushes and waves her hands around like “of course they were!!” That’s sweet on it’s own. But in the Japanese translation the dialogue is actually supposed to be Drew saying “thinking about me...?” And May blushing like “ahh not like that!” Which I just find kinda cute!

[@yourhighnessyt6965]

@@koemi0199 to most people, they usually act like a 80% best friend rivalry, ash and may has done the same thing like when May blushes several times when ash was included in that situation. But it is obvious that may forgot about drew plenty of times until she started having thoughts about the rest of her future which happened at the end of the show mostly. Drew doesn’t even fit Mays personality and was a bitch most of the series, I don’t know one single person who ships contests.

I actually really hope in the new series they have May come back with Drew and they stay for a couple of episodes. They announce they're boyfriend and girlfriend (or dating) so Ash seems happy but has one of those confused faces. All the rest are like wth. Then Ash introduces them and the two enter a contest where they have to compete against each other and don't want to compete since they're dating. So they quit, Ash tries to give advice but doesn't get it because he lost his chance like 1 million times! Like what's wrong with you, Ash?! Soon they work it out and become dating couples again! Happily ever after! (BTW these are in separate episodes.)

[@medtle1]

Anyone who has seen that season of pokemon and read the pokemon adventures manga (also known as pokemon special) would notice that drew/shuu is a combination of gary/shigeru, ruby, and wally. Anyone who has read that manga should know about the only confirmed official shipping pairing in that series - and how similar it is to contestshipping. They did a much better job in creating may/haruka's rival than they did creating dawn/hikaru's rival or serena's rival.

[@mountain_dreams]

As a contestshipper and pokeshipper i thoroughly enjoyed this video, however i was rather surprised that "Spontaneous Combusken" was not shown for a number of reasons. Firstly there is May's reaction to the letter she received previously from who she thought was drew, she can be seen holding not only the letter but the rose in what is supposed to be some time later. Also, when may is asked if her and drew are an item she says "she's never thought about it" however her blushing and general reaction seem to imply the opposite. Furthermore when Brianna reveals her true intentions with Drew she seems uncomfortable despite saying its ok and this seems to heat up their rivalry (it should also be noted how Brianna says even she has noticed that May is the only female coordinator drew seems to respect). Lastly in the end he compliments May on her performance and she can be seen blushing as he leaves. Anyway sorry for the long comment, overall a great video :D

I didnt fall for contestshipping until the whynaut episode but I fell hard for them. Even I wrote a pokeshipping fanfic and I ended putting Ash and Misty on the background and contestshipping as main pairing. I drew a lot May and Drew more times than Ash or Misty. I also love ikarishipping. Its the only pairing I drew a fanart kissing. I know its not canon and it will never be but I love it. I want to think they could work in a further future. And I dont care about Serena, she can end with whoever who is not Ash or Drew or Paul for sure. So I dont ship her with anyone.

I really liked the video a lot.There are so many hints from both May and Drew that their rivalry turned into something more than friendship.😍But I liked a part very much and that is the part when Drew and May falling from the hill in that wynaut episode and May held Drew's hand and then they fell into the river and May tried her best to keep Drew safe and after that we saw Ash and Misty holding hands in the river below and Misty trying to pull Ash through the sea .

I wonder why very few people mentioned about pokemon ag 162 . I watched In japanese and there is a moment where a girl asks if may like drew and may blushes . In the same episode, drew also blush when he said it is may's fault for misunderstanding while may countered that she only knows someone who will send her rose is drew. The one who said may never blush because of drew must be on denial. There is one more thing, in japanese version of the episode where haruka is in slump, drew comes after ash received many things from his friends and families, may said that she is surprised that she just thought about drew and drew suddenly appears . After that drew says with a questioning tone thinking? and may immediately says that it is not in that way which means romantic way blushing even though no one said anything about that. This is different from the dubbed version

[@zabelict6574]

winterfenrir frank that episode has some interesting factors: first was Brianna with her fangirl love for Drew, saying him has always respect May, taking her as a menance of her ideal future with Drew, them there is May with her kindness to present him, her blushing when Brianna asked her about what does she really feel for Drew?, Her blushing at the end, mr. roses, there is only a person who would give me this? Drew with his " thats not my style", His blushing XD, And i can say that it became his style cause at the end of the kanto festival, he asked solidad for giving the rose to May. His cruel sincerity but still special attention to May and the only 2 left, definetely made May to remember the promise at the beach at the end of the hoenn festival. And finally, Jessie with her first love thing! Her not bad loser atittude when she lost, Jessy and MIme jr watching the moon. That episode was so contestshipping.

[@secrelight2610]

I was seven when I first started watching Pokemon, I got the DVD sets from Video Easy and watched them at home, at this point I had no idea what shipping was but every time Drew was in an episode I got exited because I wanted him and May to interact, the point I'm making is that I shipped them before I even knew what shipping was, I was only seven... and I could already see them as a couple. Contestshipping is still mt favourite ship to this day.

[@prettypat4702]

For a ship in pkmn this is really the most amazing one you can see how these two really developed feelings like at the end parts of advanced gen May was already blushing bcoz of Drew's flirts 😂

[@prettypat4702]

@Hopeless Fangirl I still wonder what happened when May, Drew, Harley and Soledad went to Johto like??? they could've made episodes of that even just a little 😵

[@prettypat4702]

I mean we saw May again in Sinnoh BUT THERE MUST BE SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED IN JOHTO RIGHT but I won't put my hopes up pkmn is for kids so they won't add those 😪

[@prettypat4702]

@Hopeless Fangirl ohh that omg I loved it but it was so short 🥺

[@wagoeswa2245]

@Hopeless Fangirl other than max, may is the maine character who has not appeared for the longer time i really hope she comes back

[@miyasaurtxn8659]

KYAHH DA CHEMISTRY! THATS WHY I WANT THEM BE TOGETHER! REMEMBER THE ONE EP THAT MAY MEETS DAWN? I WAS WONDERING IF DREW AND MAY TAKE THEIR RELATIONSHIP SERIOUSLY THIS TIME. AND I REAAALLLLLYYY WANTED TO SEE DREW AND MAY TOGETHER IN THE DIAMOND AND PEARL SERIES. EVEN THOUGH IT IS JUST 1 EPISODE. AWUUU MY OTP ROCKS! ❤️ Pokeshipping and Contestshipping is just 💕💕 Cuz their true for their feelings even tho Ash is dense but i clearly think he likes Misty 💕 May is a little dense too, but you can see her improvement of her feelings after a few episodes more ❤️❤️

[@rafandsulfus5468]

I watched this 100 times I think. Contest shipping forever!

[@Toaddj1234]

I love ContestShipping, what I think is that they actually are together because, why would Nintendo make so many romantic hints if they aren't in a relationship? Well of course they are in a friend relationship but I mean a romantic relationship. Him having feelings for her and May blushing every time someone mentions her liking Drew. These are the things I remember: Brianna asks strictly (Well not exactly like this,) "You like him! Don't you? You're the only girl he has respect for!" Then her mother says, "YOU TWO ON THE BEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW ROMANTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Harley saying, "I see something ROMANTIC HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Fangirl squeal) Then he says, "You two being alone, very dangerous." (These aren't exact quotes btw.) So too many romantic hints, why would Nintendo do this if they aren't in a love relationship?

[@vivilev8031]

I love this!!! And the fact that you put which episode they were from, im so happy. Thank you so much!!! Very helpful. I want more of this. XD

[@SilverflameYoshi83]

I actually only ever watched the Dawn and Iris series so I didn't really know much about these characters, but now I really want to watch it. They seem adorable.

[@sesameebasque]

Why am I giggling as a grandma at this vid

[@tanlegend0_0]

This video makes me want to rewatch Pokemon advanced. Just for all those amazing Drew and May moments. Drew is best boi forever! May is best girl forever! 😍

[@sakichuvt3518]

is it me or does drew sound like gary

[@alexandradiaz1010]

"He's just a friend"......We got Adrien Agreste in girl form.

[@alexandradiaz1010]

@Hopeless Fangirl it’s so cute 🥰. But, the love square is so frustrating, damn.

[@wagoeswa2245]

even mays mom ships them 😂😂😂

[@vikrampanwar1857]

I think the clip you showed at the last of the episode - unbeatable lightness of seeing while they both were sitting on the stage..you should show the full clip.

[@pokemiworld9756]

I heard that the real lines of solided was He has falling in love with you. But in they change them in english that he's gotten feeling for you

[@AnhThưNguyễn-n6i]

This one is still a legendary

[@supercandygirl1000]

Also the scene between them in Channeling the battle zone (Haruka Vs Shuu Rivals Forever) was more shipper in the original japanese than in the english dub. Who says rivals can't be romantically invovled things can change in the future for them. I know Drew is arrogant and has a cocky attitude at times but he can be very nice towards May. So please advanceshippers no offence but this is a contestshipping video so I have all rights to defend my ship.

[@amandaungaro9527]

Oml thank you so much for being a pokeshipper and a contestshipper. I love this video

[@oreos4843]

Fucking throwback wow contestshipping still goes hard

[@flix250]

[@jeromedumpit9144]

4:09 May: "Are those berries for us?" Wynaut: "Why not?"

[@rodrigoroblescalzon1004]

Insane video huge work i feel like they were more than friends

[@ImNotSayingMyName1]

Screams~ I totally agree I was scared I was gonna get over May and Drew but this confirms it, contestshipper for life

[@rachelgiallella4121]

And this is why older people (not kids) need to watch the anime. I never even processed these scenes as romance because well....i was 9! Thank you. I ship it now

[@majormana1]

I was teenager when series originally came out. I reluctantly because younger siblijgs wanted to watch a.d that's kind sister I was. One of my sisters was 8 and 3rd time she saw Drew she said he likes May to me. She after showtold be she ddidn't know what may felt.

May and drew are cute together😍

I'm a Pokeshipper, Contestshipper and amourshipper!

[@chloegrandberg2458]

- Amourshipper alert code red. lol

[@LogoAttitude]

Lita Ford's "Back to the Cave" is the theme song for this ship

[@linab.6778]

11:48 In the german episode she said "Ich glaube er hat sich ein bisschen in dich verknallt" what means "I think he fell in love with u a bit/ crushed on you a bit" So the feelings are clear 😏

[@hannahherrick9882]

I really hope they bring back drew n may in future seasons. I really enjoy and miss the pokemon contests.

[@themostamazingstupid8285]

haha lol

[@Dez861]

I personally developed my first crush at age ten. When we say we "ship" kids together, we don't mean we want them to develop any sort of sexual relationship, or anything like that - it just means that its clear that they've got a mutual crush on one another, and it'd be nice to see a sort of "school yard" romance of sorts. ie hand holding, a peck on the cheek - a completely innocent romance.

[@chongky9131]

Love it! Contestshipping is my Pokemon Anime OTP!!!

[@chongky9131]

All that detailed analysis... So happy someone actually thinks about CS and not just says "They're so cute together" etc!!

[@khfan4life365]

I always thought Drew had a thing for May.

[@friendshipismagic9088]

Contestshipping 4 ever and ever!

[@a.nu_day]

I'll forever be a full on contestshipper! They still live in my heart

[@laughandlive377]

Contestshipping was so or is cannon. They are just so cute together the second best couple after Ash and Misty.

[@cassyvaz4125]

So true 💞Pokeshpping💞 💕Contestshipping💕 🤩FOREVER🤩

[@asukadoll6235]

It would be aweasome if there were a Pokemon series about May traveling with Drew and Harley or at leat one episode like that when we saw how Misty was doing in her Gym, or one episode when they'd met Ash again and say to him that they are traveling together and participating in contests.

[@PokeMaster03]

Not just may but dawn as well

[@rehnohara]

Love Drew and May!! ♥♥

At 7:54 Harley said boyfriend and drew got that what look

[@bruhimdead285]

Sickiid what’s ironic is that he didn’t even say that he wasn’t her boyfriend

[@avinashpanchbhai2728]

Just love Pokeshipping and Contestshipping 💞💞💞

[@cassyvaz4125]

SAMEEEEEEE

[@rtcx7230]

they're meant for each other

[@pasta6302]

I haven't even watched Advanced Generation series and I already ship them

[@idontcheckmynotifsdontboth7753]

My first ship. I didnt even know what shipping was then and I was so confused as to why it was called Contestshipping.

[@winterfenrirfrank1711]

At 2014年3月14 there is a radio show in japan featuring harley's cv and max' cv and they mentioned about may and drew, I don't know if this counts as hint or not

[@zabelict6574]

winterfenrir frank what did they say? T.T Npw I know :)

[@aniketdas9473]

Good God! You have done a PHD in this...

[@rhiannonml7937]

Omg I love this! Drew and May are so adorable together!❤

[@majormana1]

Ps. On water thing. The song in ash and misty thing you brought up from pokémon 2000 in Japan from my understanding is about saving love from water. From what people say and my comprehension of it is that if you sbe someone from water you truly love them and are desinted to be together.personally i don't think you would jump jnto water for just a rivial and very few people would do it for friend, many of us would for a sibling or someone we love but their are also those that woudn't. Drew is not related to May so yeah pretty sure she likes him a lot.
