Despite how people complained about it, I think that Serena taking a year to find a goal generally worked, even if it was more of a double edge sword. It really limited what they could do with her since they had less time to work with Showcases. The fact that she only needed three Princess Keys always felt like they didn't want to take more time for Serena to reach her goal after that first year. I don't know if more time would have really helped with something like Showcases, but they went through them in a little over a year of a three year long series. But moments like Serena's race against her mother or changing her outfit as a result of her first defeat wouldn't have worked if she didn't take that long to find a goal.Koharu isn't really billed as a main character, so her taking long to find a goal isn't a problem since she's not in most episodes anyway. It's a big difference with how Serena was a traditional female companion but they waited a year into XY to get started.
That is a bit sad though. I agree that she probably won't get an actual goal per say. Chloe will probably figure out what she'll want to do with Eevee near the end of the series so that she can have something to work on off-screen, but the idea that it doesn't really matter just sounds kind of sad to me. She isn't a traditional female companion, but she could really use more screentime, especially when the lack of a proper female lead has always been a huge issue with Journeys in my opinion.I don't think Koharu will ever get a "real" goal in this series anyway, so it doesn't really matter. She's not a regular female companion
