-Shipping Name Origin
The earliest mention of the name "LuckyShipping" in reference to the pairing from the Pokémon Special manga can be traced to 27 April 2005, in a post on a thread on Serebii.net. [Notes 1] Between February 25 [Notes 2] and 15 December 2005[Notes 3], it was listed on Bulbagarden as the ship name for two characters from the Pokémon anime; Robert, a coordinator, and May, a coordinator and one of Ash Ketchum's companions. At this point in time, the Neverending Romance list was used primarily for ships from the Pokémon anime.
As of 12 October 2007, Neverending Romance listed both pairings under the same name [Notes 4] (together with Green Oak/Yellow, which is now most commonly referred to as "FeelingShipping"). The current version of Neverending Romance has the same listing.
