Episode 15, where he caught Cubone.

No. But him catching and being able to use a seventh Pokémon without having to swap out other party members could be a reference to how Pokémon are "stored" in Pokémon GO.

In one Journeys episode, Goh actually caught a Pokémon when he was already shown to have six Pokémon on hand, and he didn't have to do anything to them to be able to keep and send out the newly caught Pokémon.

It was just doing what its purpose was. There's no grand planning skills required for what usually does. I doubt it got tired up within minutes. It was at least days, maybe weeks, that it kept purifying this one lake and using up its stamina. It didn't "let itself be poisoned" or get attacked...

Of course it could've noticed something suspicious. But it still had a responsibility to do. The hunters knew this and were taking advantage of it. It attacked the van because it was the thing polluting the lake, so of course it'd want to stop it. And it couldn't attack the hunters afterwards...

So, the reasons why I'm fine with Goh catching Suicune: Goh being able to catch Suicune with a single Poké Ball made sense, since Suicune was established to be low on stamina, plus it was poisoned. So it was really weak and unable to resist being caught. He didn't catch it for the sake of...

His father was in the dream too.

Wild animals are poached too in the real world.

Here's a good summary of the episode and some good arguments for why Goh deserved to catch and keep Suicune. View: https://youtube.com/watch?v=31u3zGmO-fQ

It was an antique Poké Ball that worked through magic rather than technology. It apparently had some kind of spell that prevented Ninetales from leaving. Ninetales itself said it wanted to leave, but was unable to, as the Poké Ball bound it to its home until it was broken.

Actually, it came to realize that its owner could no longer be alive, but it was unable to leave the mansion it lived in until its Poké Ball was (accidentally) broken.

That has happened before, yes, but as we can see from Suicune's expression and behavior after it comes out of the Ball, it was distrustful towards Goh, so I doubt it let itself be caught willingly. It simply was too weak to resist being caught, being low on stamina, damaged, and poisoned.

People keep forgetting that other Legendaries and Mythicals have been caught in regular Poké Balls in the anime before. The skill of the Trainer doesn't matter when talking about the potency of a Poké Ball.

This discussion doesn't really belong in this thread, as @SpookySpy already said.

Understood.
