I think the only guaranteed female Pokemon Goh caught were the 4 Flabebe (5 if he did catch the white flower one) and a (F)Nidoran.

Which I find strange considering that Masamitsu Hidaka was open about female characters being switched around every few years to offer new "eye candy" for the audience, yet now apparently they aren't needed in the cast at all. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a good thing, however. On one hand at least Koharu isn't being treated like a stereotype, but on the other hand she isn't really doing much else, either.

I really hope not. I like Ash and Goh's dynamic. They both have interesting goals and it's fun to see them play out on screen. This is one of those instances where less is more. I can't see Chloe adding much to it.

Does she even need to in order travel at times? Given the episodic nature of this series, Ash and Go tend to not even spend more than a few days at most in any given place, at times even going to a place and back in the same day. She could very easily be able to travel with them from time to time on days off from school or when school is on break if the writers wanted to.

One thing doesn't nullify another.
Chloe even being here at all and appearing on OP already fills the quota of eye candy. She's a new girl with a cute face and a young and popular VA after all.

Can’t really say that that does because, by that very logic, any COTD does almost exactly that and still gets more screentime than her. In 28 episodes, she’s really only had full appearances in 2 of them with glorified cameos in others that she has appeared in. She’s barely had any bit of a presence in the show thus far especially for one who is in the opening.
Yeah when you put it that way it would be kind of dumb for her to give up on her schoolwork just to spend some time with Ash and Goh.
She doesn't even like Ash so her spending time with them would probably be a nightmare for her.

I wouldn’t really say that she doesn’t like Ash as much as that she reacts to him in a realistic manner of not instantly becoming his best friend. You can see that she has been warming up to him gradually over the course of her appearances even having brief conversation. At this point he’s basically gone from total stranger to friend of a friend or acquaintance. I’m sure that as the series progresses that she’ll become more friendly towards Ash.

I think so too because it won't be fun to watch her be neutral towards Ash for the entire saga. I don't know if she will join Ash and Goh on their trips but it would be nice if by the end of this saga Chloe talks to Ash like a close friend.

Thing is she's still kind of meant to be part of the cast. Low amount of appearances on actual episodes or not. So that's why I'd say she counts as far as the staff is concerned

Well just as is the case with all the supporting cast, they say they’re supposed to be a part of the cast but they’re doing a terrible job at showing it. Pretty much a classic case of show don’t tell.

I suppose that she could, but it seems like the writers just don't want her to travel with Satoshi and Gou, at least not yet. Presumably, they want to wait until she and Satoshi get closer to each other, but they're taking their sweet time making them befriend each other.

Given how long it took for them to actually give Serena a goal and she was a main cast member her entire run, this could take a while.

The key difference between Serena and Chloe is the former was intended to be the main heroine while the later is a supporting cast. Also Serena's based in the game's main heroine.
I think a better comparasion would be Chloe with Lillie or Lana.

Yeah this. People keep comparing those 2 girls but it's not even the same situation because Serena was always meant to be the main Pokegirl of Kalos while Chloe is more of a side character.

I think that with Serena they were just too preoccupied with making her look cute and giving her moments with Satoshi for the first year of XY instead of developing her more as a character, whereas with Koharu they gave her other things to do off-screen such as attend school, so they've sort of written themselves into a corner for now.

Easygoing Luxray.
Really, the characters don't age and violate time laws between generations but you're more worried about extremely optional old-school education that constantly fights the highly popular travel-inflicted education.

Most children (cartoon) shows defy time in their series (Fairly Odd Parents, Spongebob, Naruto (until they had a time gap in between series) etc so no I’m not overly concerned with that.
