general

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?

i mean with the whole emo getup you don't need lore to know there were parent issues

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
