>>51802158>This is a huge problem due to the lack of focus the show has. Most episodes spend time focusing on what Goh’s captures that we barely see Ash training or spending time with his Pokémon.There is a lack of focus, yes, and that's a shame because PM19 had more potential than any series that came before it, yet so much of what could've been either didn't happen or was mishandled. Ash, Goh, Chloe, they could've all been written better.
>>51802604>Most of the hate is justified, some are just flat out wrong.How is most of the hate justified? I would argue most of the reasons for hating him are flat out wrong or are nonsensical.
>>51802604>But this is the worst it’s ever gotten.I think that's an exaggeration. Goh gets fan art/fiction/love from Japan, Europe, and in the U.S. Haters usually make the most noise, especially since they want others to think the way they do. You're right that he's decisive, but I think just how decisive is overblown. Again, just going by comments on social media, art, and fan fiction, I don't think he's hated as much as some want the majority to think.
And if he was that negative of an influence on the anime, they could've easily written him out last year and either added another character or used Koharu as a replacement, but they didn't.
