Welp, looks like Gou's a boy after all.
I gotta admit I'm a little upset, it'd be refreshing to see a less feminine girl whose goals have more structure and progression. Misty and Iris had goals that were good on paper, but really suffered from having so little substance/structure to them.
But on the other hand, the boy companions also suffer in similar ways, so either way it'd be nice if Gou gets to be just as important as Ash this time.
Still, I'm wondering how exactly they're gonna pull things off here.
Like in the anime-verse, catching every Pokemon feels kind of counter-intuitive. Every Pokemon is its own being with its own quirks and desires, and they all require a lot of attention and care. They're basically all at least as intelligent as human children. And in the case of Legends, they often have some kind of major role in their ecosystem that makes it sort of immoral to capture them at all.
At the same time, I think it could still come off as sensible if he's helping some kind of conservation or research effort, and they aren't just sitting around as some kind of living collection.
