The anime has been a bit inconsistent on that. For example, back in Kanto, catching a Pokémon beyond 6 caused it to be transferred to the lab, in Unova, it instead just caused the extra pokeballs to lock up until you swapped them out.
Maybe the transfer/lockdown features are only applied for League participants? Since Go isn't participating in any League, he is free to catch as much as he could? Also, he is currently a research fellow for Professor Sakuragi, maybe those limits have been lifted?
I don't think thats the case, since then a non-league participant can ambush a league participant with 100 Pokemon in order to secure the win, while the league participant can only use 6.
Yeah, this wasn't even consistent within the season the concept was introduced in. It's just a way for them to selectively enforce the game rules, though now that you can swap Pokemon from your boxes on the fly, the "send them to the lab to be withdrawn later" idea is even less applicable.The anime has a lot of inconsistencies. Back when Ash caught Charmander, Charmander’s previous owner, Damian, had more than 6 pokemon with him. He had a bunch of pokeballs in that scene in the Pokémon center, when he was bragging about having so many Pokémon.
Yet two episodes later, Ash caught Krabby, and his pokeball teleported because he can’t have more than 6 Pokémon with him. And this was in the first season, imagine now that the staff has change a lot and there have been so different stylistic choices.
