Go is just one-upping Serena in every aspect, huh.
This was sweet. Go is a character that frankly gets too much hate, even for all the valid criticism you could give to his writing. I really do like him, and if he continues to get this kind of treatment in terms of character building then he’ll probably end up as a favorite. I like that he understands and respects his parents for the jobs they do, but at the same time is disappointed/sad that he doesn’t get to spend time with them. It does seem like there’s more to his story as well (parents mentioning if he got in trouble, why he never goes to school, etc.) so I hope that’s expanded on. Again, Ash & Go’s dynamic is so wholesome. They feel like close friends; it’s nice to see a friendship like that after SM’s very divided focus. The little reference to Primeape was nice, as was Go bonding with Cubone. I hope Cubone is a permanent fixture to his team; he needs it.
Overall, a great Go episode.
