Naturally, however, these more modest and shrewder fans are as a rule silent and unheard before the general public, while many of these fans, already conscious of the pitiful inadequacy of current Pokémon games, are apt to look on with a sort of haggard and skeptical curiosity at the experiment of today’s exaltation of Greninja and its characteristics, which henceforth I will refer to as –for lack of a better name, and implying that such a movement deserves even this formal of a title- as Greninjism, just as a battalion of troopers can be imagined to look up at a dark and stormy sky for a miracle that might possibly save them once their guarded city has been successfully sieges by oncoming enemies.
