I don't understand this rule of the series. Ash who has tons of strong bonds with tons of legendary Pokemon is not allowed to catch one?
That's even weirder, what's the point him catching one if he can't even use it? I guess I get annoyed Ash can't catch the likes of MewTwoBecause Goh catching a Pokemon isn't the same as Ash catching one. And it's not like Goh has access to either Legendary he's caught, so what does it matter in the end?
He cant have nice thingsBecause its Ash
It doesn't matter if he doesn't have access to it. The moment he gets that Dex entry, he's already 'won' and that victory can have butterfly effects (like being given entry into PM because of the Dex entry gained by a second hand poaching).Because Goh catching a Pokemon isn't the same as Ash catching one.

Nothing about Go catching Suicune was "second hand poaching". Unless you're referring to the actual poachersIt doesn't matter if he doesn't have access to it. The moment he gets that Dex entry, he's already 'won' and that victory can have butterfly effects (like being given entry into PM because of the Dex entry gained by a second hand poaching).
He tossed a Pokeball at a weakened Suicune (which was done by someone else), and Suicune definitely didn't seem happy about it. The hunters even remarked as such.Nothing about Go catching Suicune was "second hand poaching". Unless you're referring to the actual poachers
To save it from the hunters with then the intention of getting it to a Pokémon Center so it can be healed and then released back into the wild.He tossed a Pokeball at a weakened Suicune (which was done by someone else), and Suicune definitely didn't seem happy about it. The hunters even remarked as such.
What in the world are you talking about? He threw a Poke Ball in order to save it not keep it for himself. And he had every intention to release into the wild after it's injuries were treatedHe tossed a Pokeball at a weakened Suicune (which was done by someone else), and Suicune definitely didn't seem happy about it.

Still to call it second hand poaching is entirely inaccurate, which was my original point. Clearly Suicune understood that eventually otherwise it never would have agreed to work with Go and become his PokemonI wasn't discussing his intentions, I was discussing the base act itself (through Suicune's PoV) that allowed him 'ownership' and gave him a free Dex entry, which in turn allowed him entry into PM and hence the 'victory' that I mentioned earlier.
He essentially captured a weakened Suicune, the weakening of which was done by someone else (through underhanded means) which gave him a free Dex entry right off the bat for minimal effort and maximum writing bending on his part. It doesn't matter whether he gets to keep Suicune or not at that point.
This.The same people who call Ash a bad trainer because he doesn't catch legendaries are the same who would call him a bad trainer if he caught them, because for obvious reasons they wouldn't be the overpowered beasts they usually are, so they would lose some battles.
Also Legendaries are very boring and have very little room for character. Goh can have those since most of his Pokémon don't have any character anyways.
Yeah, most legendaries kinda have this 'greater scope' element to them where they're not really as humanized as the other Pokemon. Ultimately Goh does and DOESN'T have one anyway, since Suicune is clearly not domesticated by him and still does its own thing. It's hard to get that excited about when Goh has not really had any screentime or development with it after its introduction episode.The same people who call Ash a bad trainer because he doesn't catch legendaries are the same who would call him a bad trainer if he caught them, because for obvious reasons they wouldn't be the overpowered beasts they usually are, so they would lose some battles.
