>>26810190The unwarrantable association by any Greninja supporter of falsity with gentlemanliness never seems to have affected their reputation within the community in the least, because it did not strike the educated and competitive Pokémon players, that the two were hopelessly incompatible. Greninja is either a gentleman, or it is false — it could not be both. But in a time in which uncontrolled lust for flair and eager design innovations prevail, the title "gentleman" evidently deteriorates just as surely as the genuine design of Pokémon itself does.
The Pokémon apparently immersed in the struggle for life, and the Pokémon who emerges from it successfully, are not therefore necessarily despicable or the reverse. All I maintain about them is that they never can, and never ought to, be placed in any high position where absolute sincerity and absolute staunchness and constancy to principle are the only safeguards that a people who will vote for them, or of the main company executives to push its image into every sector of merchandise and media they can allow. Greninja is simply wrong for its rank —all rank in which magnanimity, sincerity and absolute rigidity of principle are pre-requisites.
