-Shipping Name Origin
"NewReplacementShipping" was coined sometime before 20 June 2009.[2] It's a play on how Lyra "replaced" Kris' role as the female protagonist character in HGSS. The pairing used to also have a small section on Bulbapedia, which can be seen here (in archived form), Archived version.
As of the 2020s, the name is somewhat unpopular with shippers. GenerationalGapShipping and NewTrainerShipping are proposed alternatives by indygotcha.[3]
