-Shipping Name Origin
"EliteFourShipping" was coined sometime before 09 June 2002[Notes 1]. It was one of the first 380 coined -shipping names in the fandom on Neverending Romance. They may have been the first two Elite Four members shipped, though Karen/Will's first ship name EliteShipping also could mean that they were shipped first. As of the 2020s, "EliteShipping" can refer to both ships, though is the primary name of neither.
