You know, another big issue I have is the whole question of why. Mewtwo questioned this and Goh's response is catching every Pokemon would help him understand every Pokemon and their DNA, which would help him get Mew, but my problem is how is that gonna even help him get just one Pokemon? It was kind of a convoluted reasoning for having Goh catch everything other than we need to promote Pokemon Go in the anime, which I don't think should have been done in this way. He and Ash might study Pokemon for Professor Cerise, but can't they just do that without the captures?
It would have made more sense and solve a lot of issues if they just didn't decide Pokemon Go needs anime representation and had him just travel while studying all these Pokemon. Study their habits, diets, abilities, battle strengths, ect. It justifies the world travel aspect just as equally as his current goal methods and it still gives the writers the chance to show off every Pokemon. They could have taken that approach while still having the goal of catching Mew intact. It would have helped if they took a similar approach to Crystal too and actually show that they're for research purposes, which isn't great, but better.
