Of course there is a female lead who shows interest in Gou but after episodes 3 its more obvious.

Doubt it since Pokemon has issues with showing gay characters on the show. I can see why you'd think that though, I like to think of it as a very friendly friendship:

Looks like pretty standard bonding between same sex friends in pre-adolescence. They're not even of middle school age, it might be weird for the show to start exploring insecurities its characters(by proxy its viewers) have yet to develop.

He’s just awkward since Ash is his first male friend and he doesn’t know how to handle it pretty much. Though if he turned out gay, I would have no problem with that, but highly doubt Pokémon will take that route. Koharu x Gou will likely be a thing in the future though.

I don't know man, he really looks like a lesbian. Does that makes him gay? I have no idea.

He could be if by some reason we got a timeskip that made the show a bit more mature. I just feels weird for him to be with their current age and Current Target Demographic.

Right now he just feels like an afeminate dude or a character who would grow uip to be a Classic Bishonen.

i wouldn't have any problem if it was the case, but well considering the characters age, and the public the anime is targeting i doubt they would go to that route.

pre-adolescence

does that apply to eternal age stand-still? (Ash)... LUL

In fact, Ash has been growing "younger" with every new season...

I can't believe anyone thinks they would ever do this. He's just tsundere about their friendship, no way in hell will there ever be lgbt characters in Pokemon who aren't punchlines

Everyone be out here with their headcanons like;

"Wow, Gou is blushing and being super timid around Ash when asking to be his friend! Big gay mood."

And I'm over here like:

"Wow, Gou is blushing and being super timid around Ash when asking to be his friend! Big autism/social anxiety mood."

But that's just me. :B

I'm here like 3 years late. I'm just speaking my opinion here because idk, Gou could be, and I see why people think that too, he's been friends with guys and have depended on them but when it comes to any girl friends he has you could probably see that he doesn't really rely on them. Pokemon has a hard time showing LGBTQ people, especially since the audience (like 7-11-year-olds) won't really care. If any of the characters are lgbtq it's probably just going to be confirmed by someone who works with pokemon saying "Yeah" to someones headcanon. Also, pokemon is a non sexual world so go crazy with the headcanons because pokemon won't care and it won't do anything to the series. IF this is the last series or the next ones are not important then anyone can say Gou is gay because it's over.

Go is clearly a transgender.

Gou is gay and so is Pokemon now. Very shameful. Ash went from badass XYZ to fucking around at school and now dicking around with a gay femboy. Fucking hell japan
