Chloe on the other hand
could stick around though, if they have her decide what she wants to do near the end then perhaps she'll choose to join Ash on whatever his gen 9 goal is.
Getting to get further fleshed out rather than "I've decided what I want to do, bye Ash!"
I'd kinda like this, Chloe's a good character and her main is Eevee, a Pokemon that unfortunately much like Charizard will never
not be irrelevant so we'd likely see somebody get one anyways. And there's nothing that would prevent her from getting a starter, similar to AG Brock and Clemont only possibly actually utilizing it(Grass starter please)
If she comes out of this with just Eevee and Yamper, that leaves a lot of room for gen 9 to explore with whatever she does. And perhaps maybe even being the first female in a literal decade to own more than six Pokemon if they keep the 2 protags thing and don't add another character
Cause it's pretty clear that she won't idolize Sonia and want to end up like her... like people oddly wanted despite it being against her character. Goh's clearly the one going to be an assistant, Chloe will probably wind up a trainer like Ash, a coordinator like May/Dawn, or perhaps something new like Cilan's and Serena's but properly fleshed out
It isnt the same though? Both of them have changed drastically and also have had new stuff and roles to do....
Exactly!
What would they do with Goh? Copy/paste another Pokemon into his dream?
He'd be doing the exact same thing, filling out the dex and not going through any changes while Ash has challenged the Battle Frontier and won, won the Orange and Alola Leagues, has well developed relationships with most of his Pokemon every region(Something you won't see with Goh if half his team is dedicated to starters old and new, it's just the BW situation with Ash again but people give Goh a pass cause he's not Ash?
), has grown in every region except BW where he regressed.... and Ash could potentially be the PWC winner
And Team Rocket changed too, they're more trusted by Giovanni now. And they were proper villains for a brief time, they had a home with Bewear and were properly humanized again like the old days, and they actually gave Giovanni something that he didn't flat out reject like Togepi in the OS and Yanma in DP.
The homebase is likely going to change too mind you, so you'll see Goh's captures less if he stuck around. It'd be cool
if it's still a world tour, they just make the base Pallet Town and let that place get more established rather than just Delia and Oak's. It should have been Pallet Town all along, Vermillion is practically deserted most the time anyways lol
