I want the actually good characters; Ash, Kotaru, Team Rocket to get something..... not Go. Nothing he gets will ever see the light of day again or get

Who is Kotaru and what have they done that makes them a better character than Go?

Who is Kotaru and what have they done that makes them a better character than Go?

The professor's daughter.
And what hasn't she done? She's the opposite of Go, an interesting character that doesn't hog screentime with their annoying ass every freaking episode -_-

Her name is Koharu, not Kotaru. So i understand the confusion.

 

[Silktree]

not just simply winning 8 gym battles and then going to take on the elite 4),

It's... a league tournament like the ones the anime has had since the beginning. Yay? If anything, Ash defeating the Elite Four would be new, so maybe it's good that we're getting a World Championship episode.

You mean Koharu. And how is she a good character or even remotely interesting compared to Go when she's only gotten maybe ~10 minutes of screentime in total? Hell even Misaki from the Piplup episode got more screentime and look at the state of that...

I don't get the Go hate especially when it comes to him catching Pokemon; he's literally working towards his goal whenever he catches something and it seems like people are just salty that Ash isn't catching anything in this saga so far.

I don’t mind ash using mr mime but I want to see him get another psychic and fairy and catch a ghost type too.

I still hold on to my possible galar captures for ash.

 

[Silktree]

You forgot "none". Also, "first" implies that he'll catch both.

Mr. Mime is officially his. He's not just using it.

I’d say "none" is a rather slim possibility if Ash captures Pokémon this saga.

Tell that to this poster.

Why does he need another Psychic and Fairy type? People made such a big deal about Mr. Mime giving him those types for the first time so I don't get why he'd need more Pokemon of those types.

I just don’t think old fans will be satisfied with ash using mr mime. So he should get a different psychic type and fairy type Pokémon. Like how he got Lycanroc and boldore even though I always he’d never get one because of how slow most of them are.

What the fans think doesn't change the fact that Mr. Mime is his. That means he officially owns a Psychic type and a Fairy type. He doesn't need to catch more Pokémon to change that fact.

 

[BigDocFan]

Its a shame he never officially caught Haunter, that would mean he has owned a Pokemon of every single type

So are you implying that Ash's going to capture a Drednaw and a Corviknight? Or no Galar Pokémon? Galar still needs to be promoted and it’s pretty obvious that all starters will get promoted sometime or the other.

The poster literally has only two Galar Pokémon so I honestly doubt it’s accuracy with regards to Galar captures. There are going to be at least some Galar Pokémon on the main cast because SwSh merch needs to be sold.

And was this poster released before, or after Sword/Shield release?

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

Aaand Go's captures in today's episode are... Sentret, Misdreavus, and Stantler.

No Galar pokémon.

Galar still needs to be promoted

Why? It's two months old now, and they didn't even showcased Galar starters. I think we should acklowledge now that game promotion is not that important to anime.

 

[BigDocFan]

With the preview for SS010 showing a Dratini, I'm really hoping Go or maybe even Ash will catch one

Would prefer that over Dragonite or even Dragonair

It some promotion will happen, though, unless they don’t want to sell the merch of the latest generation. If Ash actually makes new captures this series, it makes even less sense to actively avoid Galar. I can understand the logic of older region captures with some Galar ones, but no Galar captures while older regions get captures makes absolutely no sense: both from a logical and a promotional standpoint.

There’s a reason Go has Scorbunny and Koharu's been featured with Yamper.

Obviously, but Satoshi's getting them is not prerequisite for that.

Which why I think they'll showcase Galar pokémon through side characters.
