>>58416966issa bwc
>>58416966>>Arceus split itself to create Dialga and Palkia.uuuh whatit created them (and they then created time/space), it didnt split itself
>>58416966>Koraidon is a distant ancestor of Cyclizar, and Miraidon is a distant descendant; they share similar DNAno
>>58416991DPP plates state this: >"Two beings of time and space set free from the Original One."
>>58416966>patternfags are at it again
>>58417019It is confirmed by the AI that met and studied them that they have common behaviors and DNA.
>>58417021? that means what I said - it created/"birthed" themIt didnt split itself, its still around
>>58416966Do they need to share DNA?
>>58416966Why is Ho-Oh green
>>58417040Arceus is just an avatar, a physical representation of the Pokemon God, IIRC, so he isn't unique.
>>58417089>a physical representation of the Pokemon God, IIRC, so he isn't unique.? Arceus is the God. The "Arceus" at the end of PLA that you "catch" is its avatar/piece, yesThe real Arceus is the cosmic giant of light from the intro of PLA - but thats still called Arceus and is the same llama shapeit didnt split into anything, it lives in its own dimensionCreation Trio are its kids basically
>>58417115Maybe what GF meant is that Arceus split one of its avatars into Palkia and Dialga, it doesn't make any less sense than many other things happening in Pokemon.
We aren't doing this again. DP already said it, Dialga and Palkia came from Arceus, it's even more obvious in japanese where it uses "bunshin", as a copy, a doppleganger if you must, Dialga is just one aspect of Arceus and Palkia is another, that's why they have similar faces, only difference is Arceus' divine extra green eyes. And Legends Arceus made it clear too by having the clans worship Sinnoh, the god of time, and Sinnoh, the god of space, when the "full" Sinnoh, god of the universe, is Arceus.
>>58417115In Japanese Dialga Palkia and Giratina are referred to Arceus as its «bunshin» (alter-egos) so make that what you will
>>58417135No, they literally meant "Arceus gave birth to Dialga and Palkia", the fact the creation myths had them trying to marry Arceus falling in love with a human to produce them initially indicates they'd always envisioned Arceus giving birtht to them. "Set free from the Original One" is just another way of wording "And Lo Arceus with her Husband did conceive and give birth to the Gods of Time and Space" but with all reference to mechanics or processes scrubbed to allow it to pass fundiemerica.
>>58417151The concept that Giratina is a dark aspect of Arceus that was cast out to a mirror world is actually a sick take on "Lucifer cast out of Heaven for rebelling against God"
>>58416991>>58417021>>58417040>>58417089Legends confirms the ‘creator’ is an actual god, not a mere Pokemon, and what we know as Arceus is one of many ‘hands’ which serves as a tidy retcon/justification for why a ten year old can be walking around with one, or why there is more than one in the first place. Arceus is a boon from god. It’s not a stretch then to assume Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina are hands that were allowed to separate off and become their own distinct creatures
>>58417179I mean>has the same face that Dialga and Palkia got from Arceus>represents gaseous state like Dialga and Palkia are solid and liquid>and antimatter and distortion instead of stable time like Dialga and space like Palkia>and has yellow parts that complement Dialga's cyan and Palkia's magenta, the YMC is also seen in the lake trio>and changes form with the same method as Dialga and PalkiaSince it's rebellious Arceus is sometimes represented as the third one between Dialga and Palkia but we know Giratina is the actual third legendary, obviously, Arceus is the source of all three. It just makes sense that if Dialga and Palkia are aspects of Arceus, Giratina is another.
>>58417185>Legends confirms the ‘creator’ is an actual god, not a mere PokemonPLA never says anything liike this and we literally see "true" Arceus in the intro - its still Arceus llama, just bigger and more cosmicThe small catchable Arceus at the end of the game is its avatar>>58417185>‘hands’>are hands1000 hands is just pokedex fluff/headcanonThere is nothing about that in PLA
>>58417061The Weather Trio has similar patterns on their bodies and the same yellow eyes outlined in black. This could be a clue, even though the story doesn't indicate anything.As for Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde, they seem closely related, but we don't know to what extent. I'm thinking in particular of the complete Zygarde, which has the colors of the other two. They all share the black dominance as well.
>>58417066I don't know, I guess it was supposed to be gold but they wanted to make it a little different from Solgaleo's orange. Except it looks like a weird green.
>>58416966Ho-oh and Lugia are honestly fraudulent as a duo and shouldn't be included in this pic, they have nothing to do with one another. Latias and Latios or Darkrai and Cresselia would work better.
>>58416966Seed is the incestuous child of Old Man (Waves) and Old Woman (Waves)

>>58417185The Arceus you catch isnt its true form and is more or less an avatar of the creator. Kinda like Darkseid.
>>58421091Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza are the Leviathan, Behemoth, and Ziz from Hebrew myth.
>>58417185>It’s not a stretch then to assume Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina are hands that were allowed to separate off and become their own distinct creaturesThis is wrong btw. Palkia, Dialga and Giratina are not the Pokemon but the dimensions. Cyrus mentioned the Masterball was useless because using it to catch the legendary would severe the Pokemon from its connection to the dimension they hold dominion of therefore unable to draw out their true powers. He also mentions in Platinum that killing Giratina would make the distortion world cease to exist alongside the planet, which Cynthia was hoping the player would either capture the enraged Giratina or prove itself worthyTLDR Palkia Dialga and Giratina are also mere avatars to greater beings
>Solgaleo and Lunala are the male and female of the same species and can reproduce togetherSince when
>>58421130Rayquaza is Quetzcoatl though.
>>58421173Play the games
>>58421173Since always, there's a whole entire cutscene where they share their energy to make a cosmog for the player in Gen 7 (which, you know, is a PG family friendly way of showing reproductive sex filtered through the magical world of Pokémon Breeding).
>>58417173The plates are pieces of Arceus. The Arceus you caught is the "physical manifestation" of the original one. Nothing more, nothing less.
>>58421250But you don’t need both to do that
>>58421281No, they're not. The best theory I've heard is they're shards of Arceus' egg, which would lend credence to the "the giants were physical embodiments of the elemental types" theory (the power of defeated giants infuses this Plate/the powers of Plates are shared among pokémon) but they're not pieces of Arceus.
>>58421124Arceus is the physical manifestation of the original one, who wills everything into existence. Same can be said about the creation trio and lake trio. The thing is that Pokémon refused to bring about their true powers for the humans due to trust issues; this is why villainous organizations aims to enslave said monsters to bend the world to their whims.
>>58421317>both appear regardless>do a mating dance of sorts>share energy>"NUUUUU, it KAN'T be a male and female species, REEEEEEEE"Never mind in antiquity, various human cultures considered the sun male and the moon female (Helios and Selene). Staggering Pokémon associated their sun and moon-related deities (they're considered messengers of the Sun and Moon, not embodiments of them) with masculine and feminine intent, in line with ancient Greek assumption of celestial bodies' genders.
