>>51905932If Goh was a Mary Sue/Gary Stu, he wouldn't have:
>lost during the first round of the Flute Cup>misunderstood his Pokemon's feelings (Scorbunny/Raboot)>failed to defeat the hunters/need Ash/Suicune to save him>failed to catch Zapdos even after getting moral support from Ash>needed Ash/Gary to jump in to save Cinderace from Moltres>screwed up the raid battle against Articuno>lost to Horace when they battled>changed his way of thinking more than once because of something Ash/Gary said/didGoh is not "perfect" by any means. He's had setbacks and has grown over the course of PM19. You can make the case that his development could've been handled better, sure, but it's just flat out inaccurate to call Goh a Mary Sue/Gary Stu character as the definition literally does not fit.
