Goh: Difference between revisions

==History==

===Pre-series===

===[[New series]]===

In [[SS006]], Go became inspired to fill up his [[Pokédex]] by capturing lots of Pokémon as part of his quest to obtain Mew. Together with Ash, Go traveled to a nearby forest, where he captured one of each {{type|Bug}} native to Kanto. The next day, Professor Sakuragi introduced Go to the Sakuragi Park, allowing Go to store any Pokémon he caught on his journey.

In [[SS007]], Ash told Go to come with him to the [[Hoenn]] {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III|Battle Frontier}}, where he had them entered in the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]] tournament. Despite using type advantage, Go was defeated in the first battle by [[Houji]] without managing to land a single hit on his opponent. Frustrated by his loss, Go decided that catching Pokémon was better than battling and ran off to continue filling up his Pokédex. He later returned in time to watch the final match between Ash and Houji, which ended in Ash's victory. As they returned home, Go apologized to Ash for his earlier outburst, having come to see battling in a new light from watching the final match.

==Character==

Go is a stylish city boy who prefers to stay calm and collected, in contrast to the more instinctive and adventurous {{Ash}}. His overconfidence has left him mostly isolated, with exception of his friends [[Koharu]] and Ash. According to Koharu, Go has been known to skip school to wander around town, much to her chagrin. Despite his calm personality, he can also become hot-blooded when his opinion is challenged, and he will not hesitate to defend others when he sees them being mistreated, which helped him bond with a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Go|Scorbunny}} in [[SS004]]. Go likes to throw his [[Poké Ball]]s with a [[Catch rate (GO)|curve]], but his aim tends to be off. Though he seems athletic, Go lacks good climbing skills despite his efforts to get better at it. He is also highly knowledgeable about Pokémon. Despite his deep knowledge of Pokémon, Go is still a rookie trainer and lacks experience, best evidenced by his tendency to throw Poké Balls at any Pokémon he encounters, rather than weaken them through battle as is the usual practice. His lack of expertise is also evidenced in his battles, where he shows a tactical, by-the-book approach of exploiting type advantages, but is unable to properly respond against more seasoned adversaries, which leads to a crushing defeat. Go tends to yell "Go!" when sending out his Pokémon or throwing Poké Balls.

==Pokémon==

Because one of his goals is to catch every Pokémon and complete his [[Pokédex]], Go captures a lot of Pokémon, including multiple of the same [[evolution|evolutionary family]]. Currently, Go is known to own 19 Pokémon, with 17 unique Pokémon species registered in his Pokédex.
