After all was said and done Charmander was more than happy to come back to come along with Ash and the gang.Īs Charmander traveled with the group and grew stronger in skill, it evolved into a Charmeleon after quelling a bunch of rowdy Executtor. It was then that Charmander saw what a selfish person Damian was and refused to come back to it. When Ash and co was captured by Team Rocket, Charmander had came to save them, it was there that Damian saw what had happened and wanted Charmander to come back due to the fact that it was stronger and it wasn’t weak anymore in his opinion. Despite all this, Charmander still went back to the rock to wait for Damian. But later in the night when it was discovered that Charmander’s trainer abandoned it they rushed back to save it from heard death in the rain and take it to the Pokemon Center. History: When Ash and co were traveling to the next town they came across a stray Chamander sitting on a log, when confronted it was told that it was waiting for it’s trainer to come back. And in terms of development, he also has the greatest focus outside of a similar fire-type starter that we’ll get to later. Thank you forever for your patience.Charizard is the known far and wide among the Poke-fandom as Ash’s coolest, fiercest, most powerful Pokemon and has a reputation in the show as high as Pikachu. Everyone is kind of a mess, but at least they have each other and Pokemon! firstfriendshipping journeyshipping fatedencountershipping gouacheshipping gousato satogoh satogou satoshi x goh satoshi x gou ash x goh ash x gou pokemon journeys ash ketchum gou goh chloe ceriseĬHAPTER FIVE IS HERE !!!

Then they chose to go with Ash and Goh, respectively. In both instances, Charmander and Grookey had yet to be released from their trainers, but they chose to release themselves. So, is Ash a thief? No, of course not, and neither is Goh. To say Goh stole a Pokémon is really just straight up character assassination.īut, if Goh is to be considered a thief, then shouldn’t Ash be as well? Remember the Charmander capture episode from the Indigo saga? It’s okay if you don’t - I went ahead and clipped the most relevant portion here and paired it with Grookey’s capture for comparison:
Goh respected its decision and happily accepted Grookey as his friend and Pokémon. Grookey choose to leave Team Rocket and be with Goh. Let’s also not forget that Pokémon are portrayed as sentient, living beings, able to make conscious decisions. Team Rocket? They are thieves (… or at least, attempt to be), as they take Pokémon - against their will - from trainers. It’s not fine to misrepresent and mischaracterize a character in an attempt to give an argument validity. I’ve said before and I’ll say it again: it’s fine to not like a character. Sometimes it will just get randomly brought up in conversations, similar to other comments intended to disparage Goh’s character are thrown in just for the sake of hating on the character, even it’s not relevant to the topic at hand. Even though it’s been a while since episode 59 of Journeys aired, I still see people (not here) make comments about how Goh is a thief and stole Grookey from Team Rocket.
