Are you really comparing what is essentially someone losing a bunch of photos on his phone to someone having their friend have complete amnesia and never being the same person again? Like seriously?
No? I am comparing both characters that lost stuff they cared about and how in both cases that stuff mean a lot for them.
Yeah one lost a bunch of data we never even see him care or work on before and are essentially just his travel logs, and one had to pretty much wipe his own friend which had it’s own sentience from existence by his own hand. If you can’t tell difference between how different the weight of what was lost are than the problem is on you.
For Goh it is not "just his travel logs", as he stated during the episode itself. Similar to how Clembot was not "just a robot" for Clemont.
You gotta rewatch the episode because Clemont was not fine after fixing Clembot, in fact he was lamenting the fact that it all happened. He eased up a bit after the whole “start from zero” conversation everyone had.
I rewatched the last episodes of XYZ less than half a year ago because of the 5th anniversary of the Team Flare arc. Clemont only had the opportunity to inform to his friends that he fixed Clembot without its memories before the Gym Battle. We didn't have many onscreen moments of Clemont being affected after the Team Flare arc because that episode was very rushed with a lot of stuff happening very quickly.
Grookey, the Pokémon that’s treated countless others as their personal piñata with no repercussions deserves a massage because the fans hate them.
You have to watch it again. Clemont was caught off guard when Clembot greeted him because he knew it’s previous version was gone. Then when he told the group that he couldn’t recover what was already lost, he was sad and disappointed. When the kid came to challenge the Gym, he sadly told the kid that Clembot wouldn’t remember him and wasn’t confident Clembot would give him the battle he wanted. The whole thing shook him up and he was pretty somber for majority of the episode.
What you mention is similar to how Goh looked affected by losing its data. There is no difference between Clemont and Goh in the sense of losing something they care about and had an important meaning for them.
The big difference here is Goh losing something while Clemont lost someone
And "something" of big value for a particular person is not necessarily less valuable than "someone" of big value for another particular person.
I'm not really arguing about saying that Goh being down is wrong since I haven't seen that episode, but losing a thing and losing a person are completely different things that cannot be comopared
Not necessarily. For a particular person an object, a memory, etc. can be as valuable as a person, it is all subjective because we are talking about appreciation of different things. Just because something you loved is not alive doesn't mean you have less excuses to cry about losing it.
