Gen 5 rumor mill thread

Considering the fact many people hate the concept of shipping, I don't think that would go down well.

eh, i could see how it'd work. you beat the gym leader, then later on (s)he offers to trade you one of their pokemon. or something along the lines of the anime, where you meet someone that turns out to be a gym leader, and they fall for the main character for one reason or another, and throughout the journey give the trainer useful tips, items, or helps them out. Cynthia fits this example with D/P/Pt when she gives you the medicine for the psyducks outside of solaceon town.
