So, I wanna quickly talk about the episode I asked to happen since last week:
March 1st - NS015: Snow Day: Where is Karakara's Bone?
There's trouble with the system at the Sakuragi Laboratories, so for the first time in a while, Go returns home to where his parents and grandmother are waiting for him. He's happy to meet them again after not seeing them for so long, but that joy doesn't last long, as he's told his parents are going to get home late due to a sudden job. While he's waiting, Go spots a Karakara being attacked by a Mankey in a park near the house, and heads over together with Hibanny in order to help it. However, the Mankey has ended up running off with the Karakara's beloved bone. Go decides to work with his Pokémon to search for the bone, but...

What I wanna focus on is the fact that this episode will finally let us know what kind of family Gou belongs to, and why he seems so independant and so casually accepting the Research fellow job. Right now, it sounds like Gou’s family consists of mom, dad and grandma, and that the reason Gou seems to spend lots of time at Sakuragi’s since childhood is because his parents are of the busy kind? He doesn’t seem to dislike them judging by the summary thou, as he’s happy to see them after a long while. I think Karakara(Cubone) plot might somehow connect to the family bonding? Maybe Gou’s grandma is a sweetheart? :) Maybe she’s the closest family bond to Gou?
This is exactly what I wanted to see since last week and I’m glad Gou ain’t an orphan lol. Interesting that they decided to introduce Koharu’s family before Gou’s thou. The order of episodes is so weird if you ask me. :D
