While Gohan going to Roahi and Korin makes sense I wonder why no one suggested Popo who didn't suggest the time chamber.

Goku was the one who originally suggested it in the first place and he died before hand.

Goku thought about it yesterday but Popo also knew about the room. Gohan had to meet Korin because he has sensu beans so it was just a small nag since Multiverse says Gohan sought out Goku's old teachers.

The Android future is hard to write for anyone because Toriyama had to scale the heroes a certain way but it doesn't line up with what we see main Gohan do so I won't nitpick it but Gohan's potential should have kicked in.

So the Android Saga seems to me to be inspired by the first Terminator movie. Future destroyed by powerful robots, a few survivors attempting to fight them off, then sending someone back in time. Trunks is Kyle Reese, which should mean that Gohan is John Conner. But wait. Trunks seems to think that Goku will save them, so he's their John Conner? Toriyama didn't just rip off Terminator's story completely, of course. There are parallels, but he didn't copy/paste. The problem is if Gohan is the savior because of his hidden potential...why didn't his future counterpart find the same power to defeat the androids? It's not completely unexplainable, but it's a bit of a plot hole.

It becomes even more silly with the context of future stories. Goten, present timeline Trunks, Cabba, even freaking Bardock, and others all achieving the power of Super Saiyan and beyond with little to no effort. It's like...what's Future Gohan's excuse? His hidden potential was supposed to be what allowed him to go Super Saiyan 2 in the first place, but that hidden potential ain't all it's cracked up to be.
