Actually, the nature of Pokémon Journeys allows for Goh to stay around for more than one saga. True, his first Pokémon was a Gen VIII one, and he has caught all of the Galar starters, but in every series, the current gen's starters end up on the main cast. Goh catching all of the Galar starters...

This right here. The entire time Goh was helping the Falinks captain, I kept thinking, "Why isn't Ash doing this? Ash should be the one doing this." Ash is really good at helping struggling Pokémon reach their full potential. He is also more of a natural leader than Goh is. He would have had no...

There's nothing stopping Bede from making an appearance as one of Ash's late-story rivals. Even Hop could show up at some point. He is Leon's brother, after all. (Hau eventually made an appearance in SM, even though it took forever.) I'm not sure I understand why folks are already writing off...

I should have been more specific. I meant I don't mean if Goh gets the fully evolved forms of all of the Galar starters.

But why give Ash Rillaboom when Goh's Grookey can just fully evolve? That would mean some other Pokémon would have to take Grookey's place on Goh's shoulder, but Grookey already took Sobble's place. I'm sure there's another cute Pokémon out there who would love to make Goh's shoulder its new...

On the other hand, it was because of SM's simpler art style that the animation was so fluid. The simpler the art style, the easier it is to animate. I think Journeys is a nice medium—the art style is a little more detailed than SM, but not so much that it hinders fluid animation. And I'm talking...

Goh has a Butterfree. However, he seems to have forgotten that it exists, so the likelihood that Gigantamax Butterfree will belong to a COTD is probably higher than Goh remembering to take his to Galar. There is always the off chance, however, that he learns that Butterfree is capable of...

Obviously, I'm a bit late answering this, since Lillie has appeared in Journeys. While I appreciate that she was included in the Alola reunion despite not physically being in Alola, I really hope her letter isn't the late we see of her (or of Gladion and Lusamine). The writers went through the...

Not if those dudes are from a reverse harem, shoujo or josei anime. Pokémon's art style is cute, but its character designs will never compare to sexy bishounen eye candy. Which is precisely what those dudes look to be.

Wait, who said Pikachu is supposed to be a squirrel? Part of its name is literally derived from the sound a mouse makes (chu chu).

In general, yes, the Japanese are more conservative than most Western cultures. What's more relevant, however, is that they are more reserved about romance than we are. Remember how Serena kissing Ash was censored? That's pretty much to be expected in a children's anime. The chances of a romance...

It's not unbelievable at all. Due to the misunderstanding with Tokio (who he thought had broken his promise and abandoned him), Goh is afraid of rejection. He said himself that he prefers his Pokémon as companions over humans, because his Pokémon won't abandon him. It's possible Goh lost...

First off, baby Lei is the cutest thing ever. I love that Professor Burnet referred to Ash as Lei's big brother (and how that made Ash blush). She and Professor Kukui really do see Ash as their surrogate son, as much as he sees them as his surrogate parents, and I love that. Alolans are all...

I don't think Goh suffers from social anxiety. That would imply he has trouble interacting with people, and in general, he doesn't. Rather, he is socially awkward. He has trouble navigating certain social situations. He doesn't always pick up on social cues, and he sometimes has trouble...

I must be missing something. Why do folks think the writers will want a Piplup on the main cast? Marketability? I think he will Gigantamax Cinderace at the very least, and perhaps Inteleon if Drizzile evolves (which I think is likely, since its goal is to become an Inteleon). I'm not sure about...

Sweet mother of Tapu Koko, Ash nearly recognized Team Rocket while they were disguised?! My mind has been blown! o_O This episode was kind of cute. To be more specific, Plusle and Minun were cute. However, the episode itself was not really that interesting. With the exception of those rare...

This episode was cute. I like the idea of Eevee getting to know its various evolutions, and then deciding what it wants to evolve into, or if it even wants to evolve at all, so I hope that's what the writers actually intend to do. I also like that the writers are actually making use of Copycat...

Can't stand that varmint. Usually, I don't care whether or not Team Rocket suffers, but Morpeko's "gag" has hit "I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy" levels of cruelty at this point. The fact that James caught it and it seems to actually be fond of Team Rocket doesn't change the fact that...

So...does this mean someone ends up catching Darkrai, and it decides to give them all nightmares out of revenge for being taken away from Sinnoh? Or maybe this takes place before Ash and Goh return to Kanto. I notice they're watching the Pokémon Center pajamas.

Goh is, for lack of a better phrase, a breath of fresh air from other main characters. He gets along so well with Ash that it's easy to forget how unsociable he actually is, until he is put in a situation where he has actually to be sociable, such as meeting Ash's old friends, and he ends up...
