Ash has Pikachu as his walking mon and Koharu has Eevee. Goh needs one as well then and then Grookey is the obvious choice.

Does he really? If he needs a walking Pokemon that badly he could just let Cinderace out of its ball more

Yeah I honestly believe, if anyone, Chloe's Eevee has most likely took over the Cutesy Marketable Unevolved Starter Pokémon (it technically counts as a Starter right?)

Technically yes due to Let’s GO Eevee.

It's not about what Goh wants, the writers clearly don't intend to have Cinderace be a constant presence like Raboot was. We will likely still see Cinderace and the eventual Intelion frequently, but the shoulder Pokemon treatment would give another Pokemon good exposure.

Goh having different shoulder pokémon is most likely the anime's take in "buddy" mechanic from Pokémon Go

It counts since it was the starter on LGE which is a main series entry.

While the player didn't start with Eevee in Pokemon Yellow, it was still a starter Pokemon, since someone started with it as its first Pokemon.

Now i can hear the argument: But that makes Wooloo a starter Pokemon as well. Which isn't the case, since Hop didn't start with Wooloo alone, and also had the starter.

Aceburn will probably be the closest thing to a "walking Pokemon" on his team, anyway. I'd rather he simply rotated his Pokemon a bit more and give that role to several Pokemon rather than just one, but that's probably not going to happen regularly.

Maybe I wasn't being clear before, but when I said that they weren't related to Kojirou, I meant in the original Japanese version: "Nanny" was simply called "old housekeeper" and "Pop-Pop" was just called "old man". It was quite obvious that they were never meant to be related to Kojirou in the original canon version, so I'm not sure why TPCi tried to imply otherwise. In any case, I was just clarifying that those two characters weren't Kojirou's relatives originally.

So it's basically 'Brock's mom is dead!' part 2 except with a couple of less important characters?

4Kids making stuff with zero basis on the original material? As well as not understanding character dynamics and relations?

Sounds like just another day in the office.

Key difference:

Green/Blue/Gary/whatever you call him was A RIVAL.

And back in the Yellow days there was no option to pick Eevee.

So, in a way LGE is the one where Eevee becomes an actual starter, as in belonging to the player character (if the person chooses the Eevee version that is)

Probably because it makes more sense as to why James' parents would send their child there every summer if it was his grandparents and why they were allowed to spoil him after all the rules and lessons he had at home. If they were just housekeepers, it looks weird.

This is a case on the international improving on the narrative imo.

I think the original narrative was fine: I believe it was originally implied that the housekeepers treated him with more compassion and gave him more freedom at the summer mansion precisely because Kojirou wasn't related to them, so they had no particular expectations for him or any reason to be demanding of him the way that his parents would've been.

It's not exactly an uncommon trope for caretaker/butler-type characters to be more compassionate to the wealthy parent's child than they are.

So they just leaked the events of what occurs in two days with a promotional photo from the upcoming episode that occurs this Friday.

I don't remember how to put spoiler tags lol so I'm not going to be placing the information on the forums. But seriously they leaked the leaked the events that occur.
