>>26810314The palpable nonsense of Greninja’s dominance, cannot be attributed to any deliberate or concerted action on the part of the populace themselves. But the worst misapprehension of all is to suppose that all this misunderstanding of beauty and what is desirable in regard to human life can possibly fail in the end to pervert and corrupt Pokémon and wipe out all the accumulated treasure in virtue and sanity which has been fostered and stored during former, more rational and more tasteful times.
The whole development was a productive and commercial success as long as it rested upon a layer of superior, bygone times which it eventually ate too far into to survive. On the same principle it is probable that the Clan of Greninja may be said to be still resting on proper game design and Pokémon design choices cultivated in bygone times and is likely to survive only so long as this store of virtue and ability remains not wholly corrupted and frittered away.
