Goh: Do you ever get pre-annoyed? Like you already know someone is going to piss you off?

Ash: What? No, I—

Gary: *enters room*

Goh: *jaw clenches*

man shigegou and satoglad are so criminally underrated especially for such good ships with amazing moments. like .

─ gladion went to kukui’s house in the middle of the night just because ash wanted to battle him and he was intrigued by him ─ goh and gary had an ‘i’m glad i met you’ moment right in front of tokio’s salad. like, directly in front of him ─ ash and gladion were basically complete parallels at the start of the poni island arc and the fucking island guardian deity came to watch them battle ─ gary finished a trial mission early and instead of leaving, he went to watch goh on his mission. and then waited for him at the next mission just to tell him ─ gladion had a whole gay panic moment when lillie revealed they’d watched ash’s battle with raihan together ─ even the thought of the word ‘gary’ got goh going crazy. like, face red, intense arm movements, yelling, everything ─ gladion and ash basically had a whole arc surrounding them ─ and so did gary and goh

and still, nobody ships them. there are so many more moments, the entirety of jn068 and jn113, and sm027 and sm047. wow.

look at em.

the b-side to the satoshi-kun compilation video...except, "gou-kun" didn't get a rise out of him, so to establish dominance gary just pretended to forget his name instead - until he couldn't seem to STOP saying his name, anyway

#pokemon #anipoke #pokeani #shigegou #splitdecisionshipping #sticking to my guns on that ship name since more than HALF of this video is from that episode #mine #*video #pokemon journeys #day 278345768493 still no jp raws but oh well the subs are fine. flavour text. i guess #btw gary TECHNICALLY has a +2 on the gou counter but i didn't count anything that wasn't or couldn't be translated as a direct address #there is one moment in jn113 where he says goh's name in relation to something when goh was the only other person in the room though #which is so funny because like. it was obvious what he meant. he did not need to say his name lmao #sorry for the repost i noticed a typo and it was driving me crazy and it was early enough to fix so i acted quickly #if u saw anything....no you didnt dkjfgjhfk

Maybe like two people would care but how I wish Gary x Goh was a bit more popular. Their dynamic it's so fun it's just nerd on nerd violence.

And also because I LOVE how gremlin Goh is when he is around Gary. Later in the season he is mostly a really thoughtful sweet boy towards Ash. And that's great but I was missing his sassiness from the first episodes and then Gary comes and he is just throwing hilarious fits and being more himself. In a way I feel like Goh didn't care if Gary saw the ugly parts of himself, meanwhile he is a bit more careful to show that with Ash.

Title: Entropy (8/?)

Fandom: Pokemon

Pairings: Ash/Gary/Goh, Blue/Red

Summary: “I’m—I’m Goh,” he says. “Look, I don’t know what’s going on. Usually we’ve met by now. Where’s Ash?”

If anything, Gary just looks more confused. “Yeah, okay, time to go, crazycakes.” He points to the door. “Show yourself out and I won’t even get the cops involved, capisce?”

“Wait, Gary, please—”

“I don’t know who this Gary person is, but I’m not him. Go home, take your meds, and… fuck, I don’t know, just—”

“You mean you’re… not Gary Oak?” Goh asks. That doesn’t make any sense. The man in front of him looks just like him.

Something like recognition sparks in the other man’s eye. “No. I’m Blue Oak. Now, I really think you should leave.”

shigegou for the ship game! convert me!

CRACKS KNUCKLES. MY TIME HAS COME

shigegou: ship it!

(side note: i still think i've gotta get serious about using splitdecisionshipping for them until it sticks, lmao)

what made you ship it?

actually this is one of those cases of i shipped them by proxy for ot3 purposes. i liked their dynamic but when i watched jn initially i hadn't yet done my os rewatch and i was actually pretty normal about gary oak (as a kid he wasn't really a big fave or anything and i hadn't actively watched anything but the pokemon movies since middle school so). they definitely gave that same vibe as os pallet though like the "i have a crush on you i can't deal with" so i think i liked that dynamic :p

what are your favourite things about the ship?

ok so now fast forward to the great anipoke rewatch/watch (since i'd never seen the later gens before) of 2023. i got really unwell about gary. DJFGHJFKDDFHJDK but i'd been unwell about goh from when i watched jn the year before so it was...not difficult to begin drawing parallels. i think a lot of people point out how similar the shigegou dynamic is to the early shigesato dynamic and like. that's true and valid! but as individual characters, gary and goh have so much in common. gary's whole schtick is that he travels alone. he doesn't wait around for ash to catch up to him, necessarily. he has his own ideas of what he should be doing and how he should be doing it and mr "i've already got ten badges" here sure as hell isn't a slacker when it comes to proving how Awesome and Capable he is. we never, not once, see gary working as a team with anyone until pokemon chronicles (power play is something else to me. to be clear). by his own admission in jn, he wasn't much of a team player and that's a big part of why he pushed goh so hard about teamwork and collaboration (ok. he doesn't say this so much as goh kinda figures it out and gary doesn't actively deny it. but we the viewers who have known gary oak since 1997 know enough to say yeah he kinda sucked and put people down for his own sake, this tracks). they're both very goal-oriented but in a different way than ash is. i think where ash sees other people are like, a source of insight and inspiration, gary and goh both tend to see them as obstacles (ironically, ash is the first person they each didn't see this way)

also, they both have an interest in like. catching and researching pokemon. gary obviously likes battling too, but in i think showdown at the poke-corral, oak says that gary has caught over 200 pokemon. but he also cares deeply about them all (in jp he often calls his mons some variation of "partner," "honey," "sweetie" and we see him rotate his pokemon a lot - he doesn't have just one team, he switches them out a lot!). goh has a bit of a different approach, yes, but fundamentally i think the interest comes from the same place. and there is no doubt that they both care about their pokemon.

so like. i think those qualities are probably things gary sees, but even more than that, i think he sees a lot of his own worst qualities in goh: arrogant, self-absorbed, putting himself in a position where he is so afraid of people letting him down (though in gary's case, i think this is actually more being of afraid of letting other people down than the reverse) that he doesn't even try to do things that would make him happy or necessarily improve his capabilities as a trainer/research/person in general. but more to the afraid of letting people down point...i think it seems likely that initially gary sees goh as overcompensating for a fear of failure, like he does. but that's not exacty the case with goh, and through more work together it would become a lot more apparent that his issue is actually that he doesn't trust anyone but himself (and ash, by the time they meet - but even then, there are a lot of moments that suggest that trust is tenuous at the best of times). and i think gary would see that as a challenge, too. so idk i'm rambling here but there are just a lot of directions i think you could take with them that are super interesting. gary's position as being, like, an aleady fully-developed character who had to have his big moments of upset, etc. by the time he meets goh make it interesting. lots of opportunity to delve into their parallels and approach them as two people who actually fundamentally make each other better - goh by encouraging gary's own self-awareness and empathy, and gary by pointing out all the flaws in goh's logic because he used to think the same way.

is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

it's like me and 4 other people brain rotting (actually went into the tag the other day out of curiosity and discovered that even though they have over 50 fics on ao3, only 4 aren't a polyamorous or side ship kind of deal so. Yeah) so i don't think there are even any unpopular opinions to be had except maybe that it's a good dynamic and they deserve more love </3

send me a ship!
