Well said, and well put, too. Based on some of the (oft deliberately) misaimed takes Goh is saddled with, you'd think he was an Ash-clone now. But he's not. Goh's gotten familiar with Ash, like he has with Chloe (who was Goh's only longform friend for the longest time), and while he has picked...

I'm glad they still do the "Gang and Team Rocket get split up together" episodes. I've always enjoyed them, ever since the first one they did back in Johto! :)

This year's Collection Pack/Animation Chronicles was a sweet one! Also, it's been a good while since they've held off this long to release the Cover Card for a Core Booster Pack.

What leaks?

I don't feel Journeys has that problem. Rather, that's simple the perception projected on the show by the viewer base who cannot fathom the Pokemon Anime that doesn't adhere to the formulas they've habitually grown used to seeing. You're missing the point, or rather the connotation behind the...

Oooh! I love that! Empirically speaking, this is false.

That's because Galar isn't the sole inspirational point of focus for the Journeys Anime. Ash isn't doing a generic badge quest, so there's no reason to use and incorporate the Gym Leaders as there isn't a reason he would explicitly seek out fighting them. With that in mind, it's not really...

Which leaks, if I may ask?

I'm starting to think I may have missed that trailer after all. Hmm. Still, I wonder if he's really saying Goh is disqualified under the context of capturing Suicune? I'm not sure. Gotta wait for the episode itself, since I admit to still being confused as to where the thought process is coming...

Oh, okay. And in that case, it's really more that societies and cultures, especially patriarchal ones, push boys/men and girls/women into the positions and mindsets where these thoughts and actions are perpetuated. It's why depictions in works of fiction that debunk this and help normalize the...

Sorry, but could you explain how we know what that meant? (I also thought there were new trailers, and didn't know they were subbed.)

Wait, what trailers?

This is a (purposefully) misleading interpretation of Goh's role in this episode.

What? (Seriously, your post is confusingly/poorly articulated, and I don't know what you mean.)

Completely agreed. Media/fictonal depictions of male characters need to continue, on an ever-ongoing basis, to allow them to be as emotional and vulnerable in healthy ways as they want and need to be. None of that "males can only be emotional when they're angry, enraged, or wrathful" or those...
