>>47541034Couldn't agree more. Gou is great and he and Ash have a perfectly synced dynamic, probably the benefit of the cast being condensed to one main companion to develop. I know some people don't like how much faster paced travelling is in this series but I love that it cuts all the crap out so that we don't have to slog through another forest arc anytime soon. Two boys having the time of their lives catching and battling pokemon together while doing dumb shit like this is just fun as fuck to watch.
