I was trying to figure out why it was called that, and I found http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f300/complete-list-shippers-v8-4655/index268.html#post1057501

“ClonegeuseShippier - Apollo & Athena
Because their overworlds look like barely-editted Cyrus and Mars sprites and their general char designs resemble TG as well.” 

:c  I think I like my misreading of it as “CologneShipping” better.

That’s a dumb reason.  I also prefer the “CologneShipping” misread better. 

That’s it. I’m calling it that from now on and no one is stopping me.

SilverSpawnShipping also needs a rename, because that name is so unimaginative. I mean, come on!  They’re the most powerful man and woman pair of a possibly multimillionaire (billionaire?) criminal organization. PowerShipping is already taken though…

When I see Gio I think of a Prohibition era, Italian Mafia crime boss.  Like Al Capone.  So if it was up to me I’d give it that quality, or maybe use a 1920’s slang term.  MafiaShipping? RitzyShipping… Idk, I’m not very good at making up shipping names.

RITZYSHIPPING, best.
Also, while there’s a lot of reason to think she’s Silver’s mom, basing a name on a fan-theory is not a good idea. Like how some people still call N x Silver “HotRivalShipper” even though N is more of an antag than a Rival by a long shot.

Aaa, I love that idea behind Giovanni. Italian Mafioso Giovanni is my favourite interpretation of him. kdshlgklhg

I think I’ll call it CologneShipping from now on as well. 1. because it’s classy. 2. because the other name strikes me as slightly insulting.

Cyrus and Archer only have the blue hair in common - and not even the same shade, and most of the overworld sprites for gen 4 appear to use the same darn base. They even have different body language and mannerisms. They both have a serious look, but, Cyrus’ appears to be more sedate and brooding, while Archer’s appears sharp and, to be frank, malevolent. From what I remember, the way the overworld sprites walked were different, even if they use the same base.

As for Ari and Mars, while they look like they could be related, I honestly don’t think it’s a manner of ‘CLONE’, especially since they have such different body types and red hair with a cowlick/ahoge aside, they’re not that much alike. They just happen to both wear white and black uniforms. Their body language is even more different than Cyrus’ and Archer’s. Though I can’t say I remember much about any walking differences in their overworld sprites, as I can’t remember their sprites well at all.
