FRANTICSHITTING

"I made a mistake" - Hidenori Kusaka when deciding to add a 'romantic' element to the RS arc, thereby dooming the PokeSpe fandom to eternal damnation.
FranticShipping, also known as RuSa, is a questionably canon PokeSpe ship. The ship argues that Ruby - a sociopath, and Sapphire - a good bean who can't read, should be together forever. Often assumed to be shipped by everyone by FranticShippers, it has its dissenters which argue that confessing to someone at 12 years old doesn't necessarily make a ship more valid than others.
The mother of DeliveryShipping, especially when you consider that both groups of Shippers tend to use "canon certification" as a way to stay at the top of the PokeSpe shipping hierarchy (or near the top, because thanks to the efforts of Kris Agency rules the server forever.)
To be fair, it was canon only during a short period of time between vol 21 and 22, and to be even more fair, Sapphire still deserved better than Ruby between those volumes.
Although it was a relatively good pairing during RS when Sapphire was willing to call Ruby out on his mistakes, most agree that, like everything else except Emerald, it got far worse during ORAS as Sapph devolved into a blushy mess instead of the character we know and love. Instead of Sapph acting as a desperately-needed moral compass for Ruby, she just let Ruby make horrible decisions and forgave him instantly upon apology. To be fair to FranticShippers, the full potential of the ship can still be realized in fanfics or head canons, so long as they do a better job at it then Kusaka- not very hard a condition. 
i don't care.
