Judging from the intro Goh's/Go's Sarunory/Grookey may not evolve which it wouldn't surprising since the neglect of grass starter evolutions in the past seasons of pokemon.
Love how banging this episode with Sarunory's/Grookey's evolution line, and yes pun intended.

Who was playing the trumpet and saxophone while the Sarunory evolution line were playing drum lol

Its just that Chespin and Rowlet were too cute to make them evolve and was usually used as comic relief. Grookey might fall under that category too.

Could be

Man have grooky stay the same. He doesn't need to get stronger for anything. lol I won't be surpise they keep pushing ever pokemon to evolve.

He's not the battle expert type

Just a reminder, the pokemon in the intro change whenever they evolve in the story, like Goh's Scorbunny did.

IK but I'm just hunching they may leave it un-evolve

Yeah it has been the world for fire type, and the grass type ended up getting neglected

Indeed, for a while the water starter long ago as well

Water starter is the eldest sibling, doesn't get too much attention but get things done, the middle kid is grass starter, neglected af, and there's the youngest sibling the fire starter, the spoiled brat.

I would have to disagree, I have two elder sisters which are older than me by 5 and 4 yo respectively, and I would have to let you know they are way more spoiled than me, and I am the one doing all the house chores when they literally do nothing.

No offense, just hate it when people stereotype calling the youngest child spoiled brat when I am the most mature one out of us 3 since young.

Sounds like the Cinderella stereotype. But since this is a Pokemon comments section, Cinderella is a fire type. They might've done their share of chores already or they are working/studying for college. If not then its up to you to push them to help more often.

Remember that the last one wasn't teasing the Water Starter's evolution either.

If Goh caught that bacchinkey, another sarunori would have been fatherless

and ash would have bonded with that fatherless sarunori

And I'm 100% fine with that.

Okay so first Goh caught Scorbunny, you once wanted to release it, then after it evolve to Cinderace, you switch partner to Sobble,which you also once wanted to release. After Sobble evolve, you now switch to Grookey, and here you also trying to release it......hmmm idk I am starting to see a pattern here

he's being thoughtful of their wishes lol

He's misjudging a bit tho

He is. It's actually a recurring thing with Go; he wants to do the right thing, but he doesn't always understand how others feel and might misunderstand them. We saw it a lot in the beginning of the show.

Don't forget when Scorbunny evolve into Raboot and when Sobble evolve into Drizzile, they both having their rebellious phase

How can we forget

So he wants a big drummer monke. Makes sense.

but sarnori didnt rebel

I'm sorry what? You're watching the English SUB HERE, Why would you use the uglier English names of the pokemon??? Yes some are cooler I.e Sir Fetechd over NegigaKnight but ya get what I mean

He also wanted to realese suicune and absol but they stayed as well

Jesus Christ
The animation, shadows, glowing, colors and specially the transitions in the OP are great

Yeah

Contrary to the actual episode
Feels like I am watching 1 frame per second animation.

I actually don't usually pay attention to art-style or animation but I always had a sense that Pokemon was well animated(granted the like to re-use scenes xD)

"Mom? Why did dad leave us?"

"Aww sweetie, your father hasn't abandoned us. He was simply so depressed by his percussional dysfunction that he is working with two ten-year-old boys to get his groove back."

and one of the 10 year olds trapped your father in a ball and ran

Goh haters gonna really try reaching with today's episode

Really enjoyed this, Grookey was my favourite of the Galar starters :)

I don't hate Goh, I don't like him that much either.
But I like his relationships to his pokemons, it's wholesomely cool!

I do hate Goh tho... can't wait for him to disappear once Ash travels to the Scarlet/Violet game's Region lol

As of now, Goh's character wasn't the concern it's actually Chloe. There's nothing hype for her aside from debuting G-Max Eevee (if that even happens).

She might get Eevium Z. We see all the evolved forms of eevee around Eevee in the opening which might be hinting towards Eevium Z.

Chloe? U mean Koharu. Why do people keep using the english NAMES??? WE'RE ON THE SUBBED version!!! U wanna comment english names go watch the dub ffs.

Maybe performing as well :)

i only love goh in mew missions

Proud Goh hater here 😉

Plot twist: The Bacchinkey with one stick is the Ingredient Vendor's minion, who steals food so that the vendor can sell ingredients and make money

lol I can actually see that happening

A good refreshing episode

Still don't like the last evolution of Grooky. If a girl was to evolve to that thing. lol hard tell which gender. lol

Male Gardevoirs do exist.

Machamp: Ara ara

I want machoke to ara ara me

I was hoping they would at least show Ash having a flashback from Serena's Braixen incident (Fennekin) when she broke her stick...
Its like they are literally avoiding anything related to Serena on purpose now.. No flashbacks.. no returns.. no memories of her.. nothing
