Goh

Goh's personality contrasts much with Ash's, starting with their objectives: while Ash loves battles and seeks to be a Pokémon Master, Goh loves to capture, in particularly care for his Pokémon more intently and at a more mature and emotional level than Ash, and seeks to complete the Pokédex. Goh is a stylish, cool-headed boy with a confident demeanor and a hot competitive streak. Compared with Ash, who is a reckless and headstrong boy from a small town, Goh is an intelligent city boy and regularly makes use of technology. Goh is also highly knowledgeable about Pokémon especially as a child, being fairly adept at information-gathering and analyzing, both of which were useful in gathering clues. However, this also made him have somewhat of an ego, and at times act like a know-it-all, which, according to Chloe, causes him to have difficulty making friends. This trait appears when he becomes upset that his argument with Ash almost ruined their friendship.
