>>46975338Goh is a faithful representation of the average Pokemon player, he just wants to complete his collection, which in IRL nobody gives a fuck, it's just data. And that's fine, everyone enjoys the game in their own way.
But when adapting it to anime he just looks like one of those crazy animal hoarders.
Obviously this was not the intention of his creation, but let's put it in perspective for years the anime spent it lecturing us about the importance of the bond between you and your pokemon, that catching pokemon just for a whim is wrong, especially those pokemon that play an important role in the natural balance (does anyone remember Lugia's movie?) and not to mention the basic rules of capturing a pokemon in the anime, either by weakening it in battle or in rare cases that it accepts its capture voluntarily, but now this character appears and they tell us that all of the above does not apply to this character.
So what is the point of growing as a trainer, of becoming a champion at any moment a random kid can appear who luckily caught a Legendary level 80 and sweeps your team, I know that this is basically the game, but in the anime this don't work and it only destroys what was created over the years.
In summary Goh is not a bad character at all, at his worst he is something generic, only that it does not work with the setting to which he was introduced, he would have worked in a series like Origins where they are more faithful to the video game or simply have their own series from Pokemon Go.
Inb4 t.ashfag, my favorite character is and will always be James so go chase boogeymans elsewhere.
