Goku gives...emotional support. Sometimes.

But he still sent his kid to take down a genetic abomination.

Goku is purposely portrayed as a shit father.

To append to this:

IIRC Toriyama has gone on the record to say that one thing he did not like about the anime was the fact they portrayed Goku too much like martial arts Jesus and not enough of "bloody fuck what are you doing Goku don't heal him don't let him power up he is going to murder us all"

then again Toriyama forgets literally everything about his own characters so it would not surprise me if he has contradicted this in other interviews, or just abandoned that line ofthinking at points

He was confident that Gohan could kill Cell.

Or in other words-

Toriyama wanted to show people that they didn't always need Goku.

and then that backfired horribly when people didn't like that change and Gohan has been given the short end of the stick ever since

There are fucking Jirachis and Rayquazas and Ho-ohs in the grass.

Do kids make these? They're the kinda people I can see thinking "ooh, it'd be SO COOL to have legendary Pokémon just like, in the grass".

That's my assumption. (warning, contains walltext)

I'm waiting for things to shape up come the first badge. Maybe it just has a shitty start.

Also it appears that that's all he changed, just having legendaries in the grass. So while the grass is full of stuff that can wipe you out if you don't have the benefit of having over a hundred Full Restores in your inventory like I do, the trainers are still using shit like Zigzagoon and Wurmple. And remember, your starters are stupidly overpowered too. So the challenge level is somewhere between "Fisher-Price" and "Atlus".

Dat balance.

I'm at level sixteen and my starter (the one I imported) has already evolved because Salamences and Flygons and Mews give a shitload of EXP.

Thing is the whole-

Gohan becoming strong...

That was actually given a lot of build-up.

He damaged Raditz.

Another problem (Ruby Destiny Reign of Legends also suffered from this) is not taking catch rate into account when mapping grass encounters. At this point you have precisely five Pokeballs. You only start out with 3000 pokedollars normally, and Pokeballs are 200 each, and you're much better off buying Potions at this stage (especially because of how brutal the grass is now).

These are Legendaries and final stage Dragon evolutions you're expected to catch with just five Pokeballs, the most basic ball in the game.

That shit's not happening.

@Olive: Well yeah. There was a lot of build up, and the whole Cell Saga was supposed to be Goku passing on the torch.

But then people reacted negatively to that because Goku and yeah.

@Squid: It looks more and more like this person just didn't put any thought into it beyond thinking "yeah that'd be cool"

Aye.

I think Z really was supposed to be Goku's arc coming to a close- and Gohan becoming the next iteration- and carrying on the legend.

Because Goku does so much.

Even just- in Dragonball.

How many episodes did it have in the end?
