general

Is there even any official art with Altered form?

there is official art

The only official art I remember of Giratina are movie posters, which are Origin form, then there's the distortion world art, and then this one, all are Origin as far as I remember.

for every pokemon

Oh I thought you meant like posters

nah i meant just in general

i will say that the like "standard" art for origin form doeesn't really do it justice

images of it in better poses make it look less boring

like that one

I can agree on that, Giratina doesn't get much love anyways

Yeah, just a whole movie and game cover and final boss status

I think every Mythic and Legendary got a movie, didn't they?

if we're gonna talk about pokemon that doesn't get enough love

you can't not talk about eelektross

I saw that one coming an eel away

yes

I meant more compared to other cover legends

but eelektross is actually very versatile

he can make the enemy feel eel to face him

(ill)

Rayquaza got a new form along with Groudon and Kyogre, Reshi and Zek got new forms too and a lot of content, even Kyurem got an uplift. Giratina didn't get anything in Legends or Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl.

you did not just say "reshi" and "zek"

None of the gen 4 legends got anything special, except arceus

Even Solgaleo and Lunala got new forms too.

why don't you just say groudda and kyo while you're at it

Giratina got more than the other two in his trio, as well as the "definitive" version game

Did you forget Legends Arceus already?

Oh right, centaur palkia

Yeah.

So, is that something we consider to be good

No, but they got something. Giratina basically got shelved.

Because he already had a form

If you wanna talk about shelved legendaries I present to you gen 2

True, but still he didn't even get story content or any showing at all in either of the gen four games.

why do the new origins both have legs but giratina origin loses legs but gains them later...

did he perhaps steal them...

There's lore for that

but he is (basically) dark type... what did game freak mean by this...

Dialga and palkia wanted to look more like their father, arceus, while giratina was the hated child so he took on an entirely different appearance

Didn't Legends Arceus reveal that he hated Arceus back?

Giratina wanted to destroy the world and was banished, by platinum's time he's had a change of heart I think

wow he's just like turnip

Speaking of Giratina, what's your opinion on his shiny?

Good

I think he and Ho-Oh have the best legendary shiny colors.

If you count Mega or Primals, then Groudons is good too with the black and yellow.

I like celebi's shiny colour

its a nice purpleish pink

Genesect

Shiny Jirachi is just jirachi but it has red eyepaint and hair tags

Which legendary has the worst shiny?

regiice

it just becomes darker blue

There's a few like that, Zekrom is one I think

That's fine, the worst shinies are the ones that are just ugly

zekrom is decent

I didn't realzie how fucked the poli line is with Shinys

Shiny kyogre

I do like that poliwrath is just a different colour

that is fucked

...

does politoad become blue?

the first two swap their blues

one of spooky's forms is green...

and wrath just becomes green

Shiny one does pika

why do they do this

Wynaut

ok no

it's deoxys

Azelf is a good one

kyogre is hilarious at least

Arceus just becomes gold statue forme

Shiny Virizon is pretty good

I like Shiny Arceus
