(Japanese: '''ゴウ''' ''Go'') is a {{ashfr|protagonist}} of the [[new series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]], and one of {{Ash}}'s [[Ash's friends|traveling companions]]. His goal is to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{p|Mew}}, while his dream is to catch every {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Go.png|thumb|250px|left|Go at the age of six]]
As seen in [[SS001]], when he was six, Go was invited by his childhood friend [[Koharu]] to go to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp with her. During their visit in [[Pallet Town]], Go and Koharu encountered the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. The two chased after the unknown Pokémon, but it eventually got away in the aftermath of a baby {{p|Kangaskhan}} rescue. Professor Oak later told them the Pokémon they saw was most likely the Mythical Pokémon Mew. Motivated, Go swore that he would become a [[Pokémon Trainer]] when he turned ten, and one day {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Mew.

As revealed in [[SS015]], Go was always very alone during his childhood because his parents were often very busy at work. Because of that, he always ended up staying at home alone waiting for them. During that time, he was always distracted by his constant online researching sessions. Despite this, he was always proud of what his family did.

====[[New series]]====
In [[SS002]], Go witnessed a {{p|Lugia}} appear in the skies above [[Vermilion City]]. He chased Lugia down and managed to latch onto its tail, where he met another Trainer named {{Ash}}. Lugia allowed the boys to ride on its back as it soared through the skies and dived down into the ocean. Having bonded over the sights and the Pokémon they saw during the ride, Go decided to accept Ash as his friend. After parting ways with Lugia, Go and Ash returned to the [[Sakuragi Institute]], where they informed everyone about their encounter. Impressed by the information on Lugia that they brought back, [[Professor Sakuragi]] offered them a position as research fellows, which they accepted. Sakuragi later allowed Go to pick from a set of [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] for his debut as a Trainer, but Go rejected all of them, stating he wanted his first Pokémon to be Mew.

In [[SS003]], Go and Ash received their first task as research fellows: to investigate a sudden outbreak of {{p|Ivysaur}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}} in the city. To aid their mission, Sakuragi had two {{p|Rotom}} enter Go and Ash's smartphones, upgrading each into a [[Rotom Phone]]. After following the Seed Pokémon to a {{OBP|Gym|GO}} under construction, Go and Ash were attacked by {{TRT}}, who planned to steal the Ivysaur and Bulbasaur. Despite the powerful Pokémon they received from the [[Rocket Gachat]], Team Rocket was defeated by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and sent blasting off. Go and Ash then discovered that the Ivysaur had gone to the Gym to find a high place for them to absorb the sunlight needed to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Venusaur}}. They watched as the evolution process released pollen into the air, making flowers around the city bloom.

In [[SS004]], Go and Ash traveled to the [[Galar]] [[region]] to research the [[Dynamax]] phenomenon. While they waited for the train to the [[Wild Area]] to arrive, Go and Ash decided to eat some scones at a store in [[Wyndon]], only to have their food stolen by a wild {{TP|Go|Scorbunny}} and its {{p|Nickit}} friends. After Ash battled and defeated Scorbunny, Go bonded with it, even choosing to lie to the store owner by saying Scorbunny belonged to him when the Nickit stole more of his food. After hearing Scorbunny's backstory from the store owner, Go gave it words of encouragement before he and Ash left. Go and Ash eventually made it to their train, completely unaware that Scorbunny had taken a liking to Go and started to follow him.

In [[SS005]], Go and Ash made it to the Wild Area, where they encountered a large {{p|Snorlax}}. Mistakenly assuming its size was due to Dynamax, Go and Ash tried studying the Sleeping Pokémon, only for Scorbunny to appear and interrupt them. Scorbunny wished to join Go's team, but it was turned down as Go still wanted his first Pokémon to be Mew. Snorlax then activated [[Gigantamax]], making its body so large that it covered a nearby train track, putting it at risk of being hit by an incoming train. By teaming up with Scorbunny, Go managed to get Snorlax to move by luring it with a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Praising its skill, Go changed his mind about Mew and instead caught Scorbunny as his first Pokémon. After returning to the Sakuragi Institute, Go introduced Scorbunny as his first-ever Pokémon to Professor Sakuragi.
[[File:Go Kanto Bug Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Go with all the {{t|Bug}} Pokémon he caught in [[SS006]]]]
In [[SS006]], Go became inspired to fill up his [[Pokédex]] by catching lots of Pokémon as part of his quest to obtain Mew. Together with Ash, Go traveled to a nearby forest, where he caught 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 entered them into the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]] tournament. Despite having the 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 through his observation of the final match.

In [[SS012]], Go and Ash watched the [[World Championships|Pokémon World Championships]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. They watched as [[Leon]] defeated [[Lance]] in the finals and subsequently earned the title of World Champion. Shortly afterwards, a Gigantamax {{p|Drednaw}} attacked the stadium. In [[SS013|the next episode]], Go and Ash battled Drednaw, but they were unable to harm it until Pikachu was accidentally exposed to Dynamax energy, causing to Gigantamax as well. With guidance from Leon, Ash and Pikachu defeated Drednaw, reverting it back to its normal state. The next day, Go watched as Ash had an unofficial battle with Leon that ended in the latter's victory. As they returned home, Ash revealed that he planned to enter the Pokémon World Championships and hopefully battle Leon again in the finals.

===Character===
[[File:Go anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Go looking at his smart phone]]
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 the 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, being fairly adept at information-gathering and analyzing, both of which were useful in gathering clues. 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. This usually backfires on Go in the long run. For example, in [[SS010]], he recklessly wasted all of the Poké Balls he was given to catch a single {{p|Dewgong}}, which resulted in him being unable to catch the {{p|Dratini}} evolutionary line when he and Ash encountered them. 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.
[[File:Go goal.png|thumb|250px|Go's goal]]
Go's encounter {{p|Mew}} when he was six inspired him to become a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and he initially wanted Mew to be his [[starter Pokémon]], even going as far as rejecting [[Professor Sakuragi]]'s starter Pokémon in favor of the [[Mythical Pokémon]]. However, during his visit to [[Galar]], a wild Scorbunny took a liking to Go as it followed him and Ash to the [[Wild Area]]. While Go initially politely rejected Scorbunny, he soon changed his mind after working together with Scorbunny to solve a crisis involving a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Snorlax}} and decided to make the Rabbit Pokémon as his first Pokémon partner instead. Go and Scorbunny are also best friends as they both dislike losing their other friends, especially one another. Also, Go and Scorbunny would high five each other whenever something good happens.

Go shares a very close friendship with Koharu due to him knowing her since they were little. At times, Go brushes off Koharu's concerns for him but knows that she is just looking out for him. When he was little, Go only wanted Koharu as his friend and nobody else. However, after meeting and getting to know Ash, Go realized he needed to have other friends besides Koharu and accepted him as one. Go's friendship with Ash is very strong, though they sometimes get competitive and annoyed with each other and even butt heads. Ever since the events in [[SS003]], Go seems to strongly admire Ash for his determination, passion, and compassion for Pokémon, especially the extraordinary bond he shares with his {{AP|Pikachu}}.

===Pokémon===
Because one of his goals is to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} every {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and complete his [[Pokédex]], Go catches a lot of Pokémon species, including multiple of the same [[evolution|evolutionary family]]. Currently, Go is known to own 38 Pokémon, with 38 unique Pokémon species registered in his Pokédex. 

During his research, Go has access to several of his Pokémon, rotating between them. The only fixed member on his team is Raboot.

In [[SS014]], Go used Beedrill to cross the [[Desert Resort]] to reach the [[Ruins of the Titan]]. It was later used in a [[Raid Battle]] against a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Golurk}}, but it was knocked out by a single attack.

==Trivia==
* As of [[SS006]], Go owns the most Pokémon out of all of [[Ash's friends]]. Consequently, he owns the second-greatest number of Pokémon out of all the main characters of the anime, with only Ash himself having more. 
* Go is {{Ash}}'s first traveling companion to not be based on any game character since {{Tracey}}.
** Go is also Ash's first traveling companion to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a [[starter Pokémon]] outside of a flashback (as opposed to obtaining it from the regional [[Pokémon Professor]]) since {{an|May}}, who caught her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]'', 743 episodes earlier.
* Go is left-handed.
* Go's catching style is mainly based on the gameplay mechanics of [[Pokémon GO]] and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], all of which feature catching [[wild Pokémon]] without battling.
* Go is the first main character to catch a [[giant Pokémon]].
** He's also the first main character known to own a Pokémon with its {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}}.
