| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- When I saw the preview for this, I actually thought Pokemon were just pulling my leg, it's shocking and surprising that Go managed to actually 'catch' Suicune. Not sure how everyone else will feel about this, I'm a little stunned honestly. Though this episode also shows that some people honestly do not deserve to be Pokemon trainers at all. |

| I don’t think it was a bad episode as such but.. go “catching” suicune?.. it kind of hurt my pride,,,, the past few episodes go’s character has been annoying me more and more so I wish it was ash that “caught” it Other than that it was pretty good, next weeks episode looks wholesome! |
 ๔๏ภՇ єשєг... Ŧ๏гﻮєՇ ค๒๏ยՇ ๓є. |
| It was this point I decided to stop watching episodes that focuses on Go. |
| i mean im surprised he he even caught it and it wanted to stay as his pokemon it is what it is and remember he almost did catch "Thunder" aswell so im sure he'll more legendries soon enough but yeah i will say i am still a bit annoyed at how all gou usually do is play pokemon go even though he is battling more and more now whish is making things less annoying so imo he is becoming more and more a better over all character |
| "one step at a time" |
| Oh that's it? The plot was simpler than I imagined it would be xD Personally, I'm fine with Goh catching Suicune, it's one step for his main goal. I mean, Goh's main goal is to capture every Pokemon to reach Mew, right? Sooner or later he would catch legendaries before it. He tried with Zapdos and failed horribly. In this case, Suicune was weakened by hunters and Goh just convinced it with his determination. Pretty much how Ash befriended past legendaries which accompanied him for some time, only that he didn't need to catch them. Interesting point is that Suicune is still 'free' at the end of the episode, it just shares a bond with Goh and that's why it disappears from the place, to continue purifying waters. I wonder if this may mean a beginning of catching legendaries. We have seen this with Tobias, who we don't know how the hell he got a Darkrai and a Latios for the same party xD |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| I hate Goh so much !! |
| Came here for the crybabies. Let's see how many people will cry about this here. People crying because Go catches a legendary, because "legendaries lose their impact" and some bullshit, yet when GameFreak adds 40 legendaries to be able to catch the same way all of them with little to 0 effort they are fine with it, sigh, I hate this community. |
 |
| Yea it happened. This season has made many serious mistakes since the beginning, but now it was the last straw for me. A 10 years old little boy catching "the" freakin SUICUNE in the beginning of his journey. I hope you guys are enojoying because after 15 years following the episodes each week I'm finally done with this series. |
| Is Ash a joke to you? He's been on a journey for two decades now. I dun like him but I still think he should have been the first pokemon protag to catch atleast one legendary pokemon. Now Go just comes and catches a legendary like nothing, just GREAT. This is seriously ridiculous man. Catching a legendary pokemon after starting his journey like a few weeks ago. This also confirms that he's gonna catch all the other fuckin legendaries too. Can't keep up with this nonsense anymore. I'll most likely drop this shit. |
 |
| Wow I really did not expect that. He actually caught Suicune? Maybe he actually will catch Mew🤔 |
| Once again pokemom journeys showing that it isn't afraid to take bold risks, and it worked about as well as it could have. It's extremely refreshing to see someone other than ash take the spotlight and not just play tag along as they have been for 23 seasons now. Im just as invested into Goh as I am with Ash which only adds to the excitement of the show. Both have very unique goals in mind and were witnessing them before our very own eyes. We all dreamt of ash catching all pokemon as kids but quickly realized how impossible that is considering his dream to become the pokemon master. Well adding goh to the show was the best possible solution to that dilemma. Honestly brings so much originality to the show. Would i prefer if ash caught suicune? It honestly doesn't bother me. This is the first time we've seen ash with a powerful lineup so missing out on a legendary is a totally understandable compromise. Besides, he has Lucario. That alone makes up for most of the things this show has done wrong. Also, having goh catch suicune fits way more into his lore than ash's. I found myself rooting for goh to catch it to be completely honest. And suicune gets to continue his own travels, just as goh's pokemon, so all's well that ends well. I'm very pleased with the approach they took in this episode and I'm even more pleased with how this season has gone so far. You know why pokemon x/y was so beloved? Because it was one of the first generations to give us actual lore and development(ash greninja/serena). Well I'm beginning to feel the same way about this season. I'm equally invested into both characters because they both have their own unique goals and we see them getting closer to achieving them. What a great season this has been so far. |

Happy Halloween  |
| Go has a hack or something, how can he catch Suicune with only a Pokeball at first try??? xD |
 |
| It was actually a really good episode. I think we're actually under-appreciating Satoshi in this episode as well. Like he did not hesitate to go and confront those Hunters and what they were doing to that lake. I think that shows how awesome of a person Satoshi is overall. With Goh catching Suicune I have no issue with it. The issue I have is that Satoshi doesn't have one yet. He's been forced to have the Poster child in Pikachu which is fine because his Pikachu is OP but I would have thought they would have had Satoshi catch a legendary or Minor Legendary at one point and time. (Minor being Azlef, Manaphy etc) With how this series is going it's good but I think the balance of Focus is clearly sided more towards Goh and that's somewhat disappointing to me. Just have Satoshi win and Ill be happy lol. Also give him a better team but his team is pretty set. (Dragonite, Gengar, Lucario, Farfetche'd (Eventually Sirfetche'd), Pikachu, and Dracovish) |

| I honestly have no idea what I'm supposed to type here. *imitates an old man* "Back in my day, we used to write our names fancy when they asked our signature!" |
| im calling it right now The people complaining about goh catching suicune/legendary will be the same people complaining about goh when he(possibly?) catches mew, which is his ultimate dream. "Why did the boy who dreams of catching every pokemon in the world catch a legendary and not ash who forgets his pokemon after every generation like the father who forgot about me as a kid?" While it would be cool because 'muh protagonist', I'd still be more conflicted if ash caught it and not goh. Tbf, goh as an mc is definitely a preference that not everybody may like, but he's light-years better than the previous tag alongs we've been given. We finally have a useful and competent friend of ash's who isn't there just to be a cheerleader. Imo, he's one of the best things to happen to the show in a very long time. |
Happy Halloween |
| Wait how are people mad that Go caught Suicune lol. I thought it was pretty cool to see him catch one. He's been a Pokemon nerd since he was a child it's no surprise he's gonna go far if not as a trainer but as a catcher. Also given the context of what happened in this episode if you're mad you're just being a baby, he caught it because it was very weakened and binded in a net then gain its trust, it's been done a million times but with legendaries it can't be done? They're not that autistic just very rare Pokemon. |

What did they think "catching everything up towards Mew" meant. How many legendaries did they think there are. It's akin to getting into the Super League in terms of Ash's goal. You're right, it does feel nice for both Ash and Goh to have their moments at times and be in the backseat at other times. Ash is a battler, not a catcher. I'd be mad if he lost to a level 5 Snivy, not if he didn't catch a Suicune he was never trying to in the first place (I was a bit more cross when Goh sniped that big Golurk) |
| I honestly have no idea what I'm supposed to type here. *imitates an old man* "Back in my day, we used to write our names fancy when they asked our signature!" |
| Ofc we've had development for companions in previous seasons. But they were always an afterthought to the show. When they don't get their own featured episode every once in a while they're back to just being tag alongs who don't serve a real purpose aside from keeping ash company. Goh completely breaks that trend as a character. While he still hasn't taken over the role as mc like some people foolishly believe, he still plays a very important role to the show BECAUSE its only him and ash. They don't need to worry about trying to develop so many different characters in the show so they simply focus on the main 2 that we have. Do you know how frustrating and bland the show would be if it was only ash and goh where goh is just another side character with the occasional spot light? The show would become near unwatchable very quickly. It's become pretty obvious that the people complaining about the show are frustrated with the fact that ash has taken one step back as this shows golden boy and is allowing goh to shine. Sometimes even more than him. Were getting two episode in a row featuring goh as the mc and all of a sudden people think that ash is no longer the mc. Its sort of ridiculous. I'm the kind of person who sees goh as a huge win and something that pokemon has needed desperately. Wtching ash fail over and over again(does sun and moon really count?) with every region became extremely frustrating and has made me dislike him to an extent. His formula was beginning to dry up and the show needed something to bring some soul back into it. Goh was the perfect solution imo. Luckily though, this season has handled ash as a character rather well and has made me like him again. They yet again broke the trend of giving ash weak pokemon and decided to give him his best lineup in the show yet. They're preparing for something big, especially with the tournament format they're using in the show. Even brought back some old characters we thought we'd never see again. Some as tournament rivals and some as old friends. Goh isn't just your average ash companion with the occasional development. It's very clear that they want goh to have just as much importance to the show as ash since its only the two of them. And they've handled him as a character rather well. I've built a serious attachment to goh and whenever he catches a new pokemon, I get just as excited about it as I would with Ash creeping up into the ultra class in the coronation series. I look forward to episodes focused on goh. I havent had that feeling since serena in x/y. |
Happy Halloween |
| The complaints over here are so undeserved. |

| I knew people would complain if Goh caught Suicune but it's still annoying reading the usual character bashing on Bulbagarden and other forums by the same people who already didn't like Goh and have a bias against him... I'll just say that I wanted him to get Zapdos in the power plant episode, but I hate Suicune so I'm not thrilled about him getting it. But that's the difference between me and most of the other people who complained about the capture - I dislike Suicune, not Goh for getting it. |
| So Go's Legendary Pokemon catch rate is 50% and everyone's losing their mind. This was a great episode, and yeah if people want Ash centric episodes, just wait for it, he's gonna battle Gym Leaders, Elite 4s and Champions. |

| my thoughts on this episode: when he threw that pokeball i was WHHaTTT!!! i had to pause , i was shocked and laughing lmaooo. he threw that out of nowhere. 😭😭 his hack-1 shot rate came in through. i was so confused, did he just really catch a legendary!?? okay well that was .. super unexpected. but he caught it. okay what now. he falls and trips 💀 my interest is peaked at this point, i might as well see how this will play out. - suicune is poisoned. Will he take it to the pokemon center?? nope it ran up to the tree. maybe it can heal itself?perhaps. (im still shocked he caught it) gou trys to cure the poison with berries. good idea. now sitrus berries. smart move. but comes the back hunters. luckily he caught a psychic type! Drowsee. im impressed tbh. he also used his Hacks to 1 shot catch that. eventually throughout all this suicune sees gou and ash fight to protect the injured suicune. so he sides with gou. now gou was able to command the awesome legendary. and defeats the bad guys. also it was funny how gous all like. no don't kill them, freeze them instead! ight! im like i just wana see how this will all play out. i bet gou will just end up releasing it to the wild... so i thought. !!!!! brooo whaaa thats crazy. ahh okay nice. in the end it appears that it decides to stay with gou. honestly im fine with that. this ep was just WOW!! all the way. i am looking foward to a match when gou just sends out suicune in a battle vs a NPC. also i think you need badges like in the games to command something that powerful but this is anime so that logic isn't valid huh |
Kurokami_Hina said: I am just shock that Goh Caught Suicune, and I really think its a game changer A "game changer" how? Suicune's just gonna hang out at Cerise Park like Goh's other Pokemon. I don't think it changes anything other than it meaning Goh can get more legendaries in the future. |
| people here complaining a lot about goh catching suicun, but i'm actually happy with how they done it, why? first of all, when you doing goh - character who wants to catch all pokemon, you come right to the point where he needs to catch legendaries, the problem with this concept is -- in the pokemon world the legendaries treated like "mini gods" who can control nature and such, so the obstacle is clear - how can you catch it?!? in the game format it's make total sense, but tin the anime concept it's hard since the world of pokemon in the anime needs to be much more convinced than in the game. and that's why when the pokemon got the known phrase "gotta got them all" had gone, because it was literally impossible to do so, we got only couple of times legendaries actually getting caught, in DP and movies, but for MC to do that is kinda hard to break that obstacle. but now that we have goh, and OLM actually ready finally to combine more game mechanics, they did it well with goh without changing much the previous format - 1. suicun was poisoned and weakened. 2. goh didn't do that to catch him as any other lvl5 pokemon, but to save the damn suicun. 3. as it seems, suicun caught isn't totally "owned' by goh, it can freely get out of his pokeball and not need to obey him much, we can see it clearly at the end of the episode where he just fled. while in goh's pokedex he considered "registered" he really isn't bound to be with goh for his reasoning that all his pokemon needs to be in cerise park, but can be free in his will to do as he did 'till now. - this point is actually makes the whole sense, since it's practically saying that legendaries aren't caught as normal pokemon, and even once caught they are still in their own "mini god" limitation. apart from that, goh is what makes this season one of the best right with XY and DP, finally a character who can have as focus as ash and unlike dawn/may/sarena whom just had couple of episodes attention in their travel, but have it's own story and goal. if i have something negative on this episode though, is suicun behaviour, except clearing the water he didn't act as legendary at all, when those hunters confronted him he just looked at them and didn't do much, even after goh healed him he wasn't much. only after goh befriended him he actually acted as one. just go and compare suicun behaviour from here to the 4th movie suicun. |
| and now they have done it, while I was disappointed initially but when Gou thought of releasing it to the wild I was happy, I hope that's what he does with every legendary pokemon, I don't want him to have any intention of keeping them in his backyard, that's the worst thing you can do in this pokemon world and when he does bring them to his backyard the legendary should just keep disappearing as Suicine did, Gou gets to realize his dream and the legendary pokemon aren't bound to anyone olm did a good job this episode, making gou realize his dream and also not letting a legendary bound to anyone cause that's how it should be |

| Amazing, Gou catched a Suicune!!! O_o Cool!!! |
| After twenty or so years of the same formula in every Pokemon season, I'm loving the last two major seasons in Sun and Moon and the 2019 Series. Never thought I would see an MC catching a legendary lol, even if it's free to roam and do as it pleases. |
| I can't believe people are so turned off by Go catching Suicune when that's literally his goal to catch EVERY Pokemon and it's literally what people do in every new game, catch EVERY Pokemon including all the legendaries. And complaining that a 10 year old can catch a legendary creature doesn't really hold a lot of water in a world where Pokemon equalize the playing field and it's common practice for CHILDREN to journey alone into the world. The fact that he caught Suicune (which was a lucky strike because it had already been extremely weakened by the hunters) and it stayed with him only proves that it recognizes his character as a trainer. A little disappointed it didn't purify water by leaping across it like in the movie though. |
