So as expected, Go caught every single Bug Type in Kanto which appear to have been left at Sakuragi Institute

I'm going to guess Go could call upon any of them at any time like Ash and his Pokemon at Oak's lab

He caught Caterpie, Metapod, Butterfree, Weedle, Kakuna, Beedrill, Paras, Parasect, Venonat, Venomoth, Scyther and Pinsir. Yup, Kanto has 12 bug-type Pokemon native to this region.

Based on the next episode's summary, at least Scyther seems to get focus.

Which is good because Scyther haven't gotten much focus, wonder if they other's will get any focus

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

I’m scared that they might show Go catching pokemon for a couple episodes and then start omitting it so that he just happens to have caught the right one for situations (e.g. random Sandshrew coming out after a cave in)

Why not just evolved caterpie into butterfree, same with weedeel and same with venomoth

Feels a waste, catching each Pokemon at each stage instead of catching the base stage and not evolving them.

Then again, would Go use them enough to evolve them

Apart from Scyther, it seems unlikely

He's not a battler.

 

[nickdt]

He's not a battler.

Then why does he so many Pokemon?

Probably to complete his goal of catching every single Pokemon

I'm hoping as the series progresses, Go might become more of a battler, otherwise he would just be wasted as a main character

Based on the next episode's summary, at least Scyther seems to get focus.

He's also bonding with them and even training them for a bit next episode so it goes away all that fuss some people were making that he wasn't bonding, it seems he's forging a friendship with all his mons.

The question now is: will Ash EVER catch something this series? Will he use only Pikachu (and, ugh, Mimey)? I'm getting a bit anxious.

I don’t think Go will have a ‘main team’ - Scyther May be getting to battle next episode, but that’s probably just because he needs a battling Pokémon for that episode.

I’m willing to bet Scorbunny will be the only regular on his team.

It did with Tracy syther

True but Scyther barely got any screen time, therefore little development outside its debut

He'll need to battle in the future and I don't see why he'd be stuck with just one Pokemon when he's already using Scyther. The latter is the only Bug type being featured in merchandise, so I think it could be a regular.

It was much easier to just catch each Bug type as-is instead of having to evolve them. Anyway, I wonder if we'll get one episode per type of Pokemon that Go wants to catch in the future. Let the salt commence!

Most types aren’t as location exclusive as Bug though. Wouldn’t work with stuff like Fairy or Normal.

 

[Silktree]

It could work with Grass (another forest), Fire (Mt. Chimney), Water (fishing or Pikachu/Mantine surfing?), Ice (Mt. Coronet or one of those snowy Galar routes) and maybe Electric (Power Plant) or even Ghost (Pokemon Tower or another haunted place). I don't see Go catching a dozen of Pokemon again in one episode, though.

Be cool since ash isn’t going to battle the league any more unless he wants too but anyway is their chance that his pidgeot will return

Honestly I wouldn't be too sure of that, I mean apart from the second episode there haven't been any throwbacks to old series yet. Hopefully in the next few episodes when Ash and Go visit the older regions again.

Somebody brought this idea up on Twitter and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since; what if the prize for winning the tournament is a Pokémon egg containing one of the other Galar Starters and Ash won it?
