Ninjask as a Pokemon most known for their infamy amongst many of the metas they unfortunately inhabited. Their lack of civilized tactics, and their general reliance on the barbaric ability Speed Boost, and the occasional Sand Attack made them a deserving candidate of hate reception. Their existence lacks a true purpose in all metas they take part in, as their existence only serves to add underhanded aspects into the gameplay without much meaningful substance. Disappointing is an understatement for this vile insect’s existence, as they not only disappoint with their reliance on cowardly matchup-fishing, they also actively encourage building restrictions to some degree, making the general metagame feel unnecessarily restrictive to fit their selfish, self-absorbed role in the metagame. 

The Hoenn Pokédex roster is one that could be considered amongst some of the best; giving the Pokemon community all time favorites such as Salamence, Rayquaza, Kyogre, Latios, Swampert, Gardevoir, and so on. Unfortunately for what was to be an almost perfect Pokédex roster, a foul mold like growth lingered. Nincada, and their wastes of Pokédex space they call their family propped themselves up on the Hoenn Pokédex, ruining what could have been one of the best Pokédex rosters in the history of the franchise. Shedinja is nothing more than an ability merchant who overly relies on their cowardly ability to make their competitive career for them, Ninjask is another fraud who would be additionally worthless as a Pokemon if they were to also be stripped of their ability, and finally Nincada who is simply a worthless bum who is only good at evolving into Ability Merchant frauds. 

You may initially think something like Speed Boost would be harmless, but you overlook the fact this ability produced countless number of fraudulent bums who deserve nothing but slander for their eternal reliance on this ability. Ninjask was the first of the filth, then came Scolipede, Espathra, and BUMziken, with some others only barely avoiding slander due to actually having feats outside of their reliance on this ability. If you are not appalled by these filthy creatures, then I could only warn you that your leniency will open doors that lead further into your own self-inflicted misery. The same reasoning repeated time and time again to attempt to justify the injustice of these disgusting creatures existing in a game already ridden to the bone marrow with excessive flaws. These Speed Boost merchants need to be culled, and simply removed from availability. 

Some may find frustration towards the existence of Stealth Rocks, but they were always a necessary evil. The rocks helped keep the original filth at bay, forcing the foul creature into hiding for some time. Rocks were always there from the start to hinder these filth that don’t even deserve to be called a Pokemon. They are all in fact not even Pokemon, just filth pretending to be something living. They could never be anything meaningful, as they never considered putting any meaning in their own existence. 

There is nothing inspiring about Ninjask, or any of the cowardly things that followed their fraudulent footsteps. If your life story, and only thing of note came from being handed down a top tier ability from GameFreak, then there is nothing in your legacy to deserve praise. Ninjask was a fraud from day 1, Blaziken is a nepo baby who only receives praise from shallow people who have an inability to see beneath their hollow shell of a character, Scolipede is just a bully who can only pick on others after a boost, and Espathra is not only a speed boosting bum, but also a Tera merchant. And to think all of this was started because of one selfish, and cowardly filth. One Speed Boost merchant did all of this. Just ONE. 

The competitive scene in Pokemon could have had a more enjoyable scene without their existence, but sadly, we do not live in the timeline where that was the case. The flawed competitive scene we have still fosters some of these infectious diseases in the nooks and crannies of every corner of the meta. To truly rid the meta of these diseases, just a ban wouldn’t do. The real solution is Pokemon erasure. If we were to remove the fraud who started it all, it will all come crumbling down sooner, or later. 

Imagine a world without Speed Boosting filth, or ability merchants alike. Remember what these things robbed of the community. It is not simply blind hatred that is the righteous cause, but justified one fueled by desire for change. Without destruction, there is no creation. The community must destroy these fraudulent Pokemon, and the monument of falsified feats they undeservingly stand on. 

Let it be known these foul, disgusting things are worth no more than a switch-in sacrifice. All speed boost merchants deserve to perish after all of their unjustified actions throughout the years this media has existed. Down with the Ninjask, and down with the Speed Boost. With hatred uniting the community, stains upon the Pokédex like these wouldn’t ever have to exist. We could be given the Pokédex spaces back for Pokemon who are honest, and carry themselves with more dignity than these scurrying things who are below the dirt beneath our feet. 

May the community unite under the common hatred for the undeserving, and ally under the cause of removing these filthy things from the Pokédex. Without sacrifice, there is no victory. Without the removal of these rotten eggs, we can never safely make the mother of all omelettes. We cannot fret over every egg, especially ones so rotten to the core beyond saving. Wipe their Pokédex slot clean, and burn it down. 

From the ashes, a new metagame would be born. Untouched by the wicked cowardice of BumJask. Down with underhanded Pokemon, down with the speed boost merchants. Down with all of it. The stain will be wiped clean, and the honorable will thrive; free to go about their respective metagame roles as they see fit
