In reply to Mechanos. The movie clearly shows Giratina flying, almost like a bird. It even waves its wings...

Hmm, I wonder if anyone else read how there are quite a bit of 6’s in Giratina’s design.

That being said, looking at the most visible parts on the creature you mainly see the Legs, The neck rings, and the Red thorns on its wings.

If you count them, they all add to 6. Put them together… 666
Giratina becomes an Antichrist Pokemon. Coincidence It’s in the same Regional Dex as a “god” pokemon. Unless you just left out that part for decency. :’)

In reply to Matt.

Thanks!

Nice thoughts! That’s pretty fascinating– I can agree with ya on a couple things there. Sadly, I don’t really try to get into the mythology much for these articles, but I think you’re pretty much spot on with that!

You just listed one of the ones I’m doing. 😀

Giratinia can levitate in both of its formes– neither uses its wings for flight!

I haven’t been one for movies though. xD

Thanks however 🙂

There is a lizard called the Basilisk. It’s also called the Jesus Christ lizard as it runs across water to escape predators. 😀 I like random facts about stuff

Great article as always.
My interpretation of Giratina was that it was a Basilisk and the basilisk is often interpreted as evil. Which that led me to believe that Giratina was evil too. Also, its pokedex entry from Platinum and Diamond/Pearl classify it as the Renegade Pokemon, and Renegade, by definition, means: A person(or in this case, a pokemon) that deserts a party or cause for another, a traitor, deserter, BETRAYER, dissenter. I capitalized betrayer because I think that Giratina betrayed Arceus when he was creating all of the pokemon with an attempt to overthrow or kill Arceus, and was thus sealed away in the Torn World, where he has since saw the errors of his ways and felt a need to reconcile for what he tried to do. Which would further explain why he helped stop Cyrus in Platinum. Just my thoughts. And again, great read and since next Tuesday is OCT.30, why not do another Halloween-ish pokemon like Gengar or Cofagrigus or even Houndoom(who I think would personally be the most interesting), just to name a few ideas.

In reply to temp23. btw, it seems you didn't watch M11. The movie shows that Giratina can fly in its altered forme. I also think Giratina-O's helmet looks more like a crown than in its altered forme.

In reply to Happy.

Haha. xD

Thanks! 😀

Yeah, I just felt like the armor was worth mentioning for the fact it’d be useful in combat. xD But yeah– legendary Pokemon are pretty mythical and aren’t always sensible.
