What do you think is the most overated couple in Dragonball?

I think BulmaxVegeta is the most overated Dragonball couple, sure it's canon but we don't have to see it in our face all the time.

GokuxVegeta is also overated, their rivals, not best friends or lovers.

Goten and Trunks, followed by Piccolo and Gohan.

Bet you didn't see that coming!

(There are only like 2 or 3 couples in DBZ, and whats with all this romance stuff lately?)

Holy hell I'm so sick of B-V. I wouldn't mind being flooded by it so much if so many of them didn't take every oppertunity to bash Yamcha into the ground purely because they can't think of a better plot device. If people stopped bashing Yam constantly, I wouldn't have a problem with B-V.

Non-cannon, it's Gk-V hands down because it makes no sense. Especially with Veg as uke, because there's just no way in hell he'd agree to that. His ego's too damn big.

I say, bah with the lot of them. :mad:

More specifically? I like to pretend some of the messed up ones just don't exist (Goku+Vegeta? WTF? And anything involving Piccolo is already weird...). I think I've decded that no, Trunks/Pan isn't all that believable... though I guess I haven't read much Trunks/Pan fanfiction (Actually... I avoid fanfics where couples areadvertised in the summary like the plague. :lol: ).

... Nah, I just don't like romance in general. So if it ever becomes necessary in something I write (fanfic or otherwise) it probably winds up sucking.

Hmm, though I did read this interesting KuririnX18 fic once... ('t'was mostly a #18's character after Cell story, so... umm... Meh?).

I don't think any of the "couples" in Dragonball are overrated, though I will say I'm not particularly fond of Gohan and Videl, mainly because I don't like Videl. But as far as couples like Goku/Chi Chi, Vegeta/Bulma and Krillin/18 go, I would like to have seen a little more elaboration on the relationships in a non-fighting scenario.

Also, for the record, my favorite dragonball pairing is Trunks and Goten (in a platonic way, friendship way! No yaoi please!).

Then probably don't bring them up in a pairing discussion > >

I don't personally like Gohan and Videl either, but I wouldn't call them overrated because I don't really hear much about them.

I've probably only heard about people pairing them.... three times in my entire stretch of fandom. So I doubt they're overrated if noone even really goes there.

I dont think any couples(love or friendship) are overrated.
But I really don´t like Gohan/Videl and Android 19/Android 20, because I find Videl not a good love partner to Gohan.
And has for Android 19 and Android 20 I mean WTF?! a old man with a fat ass clown?! it´s just not right.

That´s my opinion though.

Yeah I can't believe Gohan actually married Videl. And what about Bulma, FYI I think she is just a skank. I asked her about it, and she was like "Oh no you didn't" and then Chi-Chi said "Oh yes you didid" And I mean Vegeta treats her like crap, I mean he is the quarterback and everything, but he's not THAT hunky. Ok, so maybe I lied, he is a SUPER HUNK.

See where I am getting with this... It sounds so much like what certain people at school always talk about, I find it quite funny.

Maron/Kuririn! I'm getting sick of all the fanart and fanfictions! :P

(I'm not serious, I don't think any pairing from the series is overrated really.)

All of the 'relationships' these include Intimate and Friendships are all pretty much normal, It's Piccolo and Gohan's unlikely friendship that is just so amazing to watch.

Any yaoi pairing is just stupid.
