The Downfall of Greninja

Making money with the most popular Pokémon in the world?……nah, let’s remove everything cool about him. Charizard must be the only one.

Gamefreak: "Hey. Lets nerfe Greninja, Talonflame and Gengar, but not Urshifu." 😂🙄

Greninja deserves WAY more than Charizard. I know what I said

The nerf to Battle Bond is the most brutal insult known to Pokemon, when I saw that message and the stat boosts, it was equivalent to being spit in the face

Why ditch the concepts that has undoubtably made them SOOOOO much money over the past decade, has made greninja a fan favorite, and was and still is a fan favorite and the most iconic pokemon form of modern pokemon

Greninja deserved to win in the XYZ anime. It's telling when some of the writers came out and said they wanted Ash to win. As for the Battle Bond nerf, it was just bizarre to me. It got nerfed the same gen they introduced Palafin, which honestly felt insulting. My man has to do some actual positioning to get a 110 boost, but this guy switches out and boom, just like that, near 200 bst boost. It already has buffed water shuriken (jet punch). To add insult to injury, they retconned Ash Greninja despite teasing it's existence in Nemona's house..? Keldeo can have a form change without a BST change, so if the BST was such a problem, why couldn't they implement the nerfs as they are, without retconning Ash-Greninja. Have it transform when the ability is procked. This would also remind the player that "Hey, switch out now and your boosts are gone". And removing the buff to Water Shuriken for no reason. Did Chesnaught and Delphox deserve better? Yes, better abilities and Battle Bond for all 3, but that in no way justifies Greninja's downfall.

Justice for the dark frog 🐸🖤

I don’t care what anyone says about Greninja, but it will forever be my favorite Pokemon with that cool shade of blue and that ninja motif.

it would be totally awesome if in a 4 episode ark a bit before the master's 8, ash could suddenly feel strange and then see through greninja's eyes that he was in trouble and team flare was trying to capture him , and then transform into Ash-greninja and beat them with an epic water shuriken. then ash would go to the Kalos region and beat team flare for a final time and also remove all the roots, so greninja could come back and stay with ash. then ash finds out he's battling alan in the master's 8 and use greninja for his last pokemon against alan's mega charizard x and finally beat him with the golden water shuriken that should have won in the kalos league. if you read all this, then I'm impressed

WHY DID THEY RETCON ASH GRENINJA, RETCONNING THE AWSOME FORM IN THE GAMES WAS ENOUGH, THEY DIDN’T NEED TO DO IT WITH THE ANIME TOO. I LOVE THE ASH GRENINJA FORM AND GRENINJA IN GENERAL, WHEN. I GET A COPY OF X & Y, MY KALOS STARTER CHOICE WILL IMMEDIATELY BE FROAKIE. WHICH GRENINJA BATTLE WAS BETTER ASH’S GRENINJA VS SAWYER’S SCEPTILE: KALOS LEAUGE OR ASH’S GRENINJA VS ALAIN’S CHARIZARD: KALOS LEAUGE TRUST ME, ASH’S GRENINJA IS ULTIMATE GOD TIER OF ASH’S POKÉMON AND HE DIDN’T NEED TO BE RELEASED, ZYGARDE ALREADY CLEARED UP THE VINES AT THE END OF THE TEAM FLARE ARC, SO WHY DID THE WRITERS THINK IT WAS A GREAT IDEA TO BRING THEM BACK FOR NO REASON AND WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA FOR ASH TO RELEASE HIS KALOS ACE AND ONE OF HIS STRONGEST POKÉMON EVER.

Despite greninja getting done dirty Greninja will always be my all time favorite Pokemon period

They did greninja dirty I tell you😢

Game freak keeps doing my frog dirty we need justice

No matter how much he sucks Greninja will forever be My favourite Pokemon of all time

My problem with the Pokémon games is when they nerf Pokémon when a new gen comes out. Despite the fact the new Pokémon would still fold it. Gengar is one that comes to mind

It’s weird because there is a ash Greninja painting in Nemona’s house. So I don’t get point of them teasing it if they are retconning it.

If Game Freak would have been equal by giving mega evolution to the Kalos starters as well, all of this would have been averted.

My boy look at how they nassacered my boy

Thankfully we still have an ash grenninja Easter egg in nemona's house

Stats got nerfed when entering battlebond? Im ok But atleast keep the form 😭
