Doubtful as they seem to have (thankfully) moved him past the prospect of having a living dex as he realized that evolving Pokémon also fills the dex.

Not including stone-based or trade evolutions, which he could easily do, he would actually have to train a bunch of his Pokémon for them to actually evolve. I don’t think people would be happy if a bunch of Goh’s Pokémon that aren’t normally in his rotation evolved after one or two battles, unless we get a Sakuragi Park training episode that features a lot of his Pokémon bulking up. Theoretically, they have to have at least some experience prior to being captured since they had to fight for their survival, and some of them do fight each other at Sakuragi Park so they would be gaining experience, but still.

Honestly, that may just be the lesser of 2 evils when you compare it to the redundancy of Go catching every different stage of every Pokémon. It was a terrible sequence to watch when they did it with the Kanto bugs and I doubt that such a thing could be made anything more than dull doing such a thing again.
 
Goh is going to catch a Flygon. I saw it in the JP Opening.
Still not a fan of them just rapidly “leveling up” Go’s team like they’ve been doing especially this early on. Past characters had to actually work for their strong Pokémon while Go is just handed them on a silver platter. Compare that to Ash when he was a rookie trainer, he got Charizard quickly but suffered consequences of Charizard being disobedient because of its strength and Ash’s inexperience. Go on the other hand hasn’t had to deal with any kinds of issues with all his Pokémon being perfect little angels towards him. Even when it seemed like he had an issue with Raboot, it was quickly just glossed over to be a misunderstanding. On top of that, he really hasn’t suffered any real kind of struggles as a trainer. He’s honestly starting to feel a bit like a writer’s pet.

A bit? He's definitely a full on writer's pet... far more than Lana was ever in fact. At least Lana was a side character for the most part and not a supposed protagonist given cheaply written shortcuts without having to put in effort and struggle for their dream.

Just look at the recent episode, he wanted a Pikachu because he wanted a bond with it like Ash and Pikachu has yet we don't see anything of that particular substance on-screen (not to mention the instant capture right off the bat). Also, if he wanted such a bond, he could have just done so with his existing Pokemon instead of catching an entirely different Pokemon of a particular species, the latter being kind of a narrow minded outlook on things. But why bond with your existing Pokemon when this magically holds true?

Also, remember back when Misty and Iris berated Ash for just tossing Pokeballs directly? Pepperidge Farm remembers...
