1. The goal was the same - to capture. I don't see why it matters how long it took before catching it.1. Starly was given enough time to process it was being captured, unlike the poor Tailow.
2. Starly ended up being one of the heavy hitters of Ash's team and had a lot to it’s personality, as contrasted by the Tailow who was used to capture Wurmple and never seen again.
2. It is something that happened after catching it. Ash may have as well let it go or done whatever he felt like. So my point stll stands.
Honestly all the complains and accusations regarding Gou's captures feel overwhelmingly pointless to me. I mean, what was different in the past 20 years when people played the games and caught every species in order to fill the Pokédex, or when they played the Let's Go/Go games and caught the same species several times to gain candies and such. But when an anime character does the same, it suddenly becomes something unacceptable. I never get that exeggerated reaction toward Gou.
