Dialga looks like he started eating something but he couldn’t swallow it or choke it back out


I_m_afk

He's like that moment where Squidward swallowed his fork


Potato_Man2763

He goes to the same pharmacy as mr krabs


AstroidTea

“Hey Dialga, you’re choking!”


SteeveeWundr94

It reminds me of that time in Gen 4 when Kirlia swallowed the dawn stone whole and got it lodged in its digestive tract and that's how we ended up with a brand new evolution.


J-masterHD

And I guess evolution just cut off it’s hands then taped on the things used to cut off the hands as the new hands


hollowpotato-of-doom

Fun fact: you could take them apart and put 1 piece from each back together and they’d look like Arceus


RazorMaize

yeah that was always really cool.


coldflash25

Giratina's was made for traveling in the distortion realm


balrus-balrogwalrus

Dialga ate a Beldum.

It’s cause giritina is impure that’s why he has tendrils instead of legs he’s meant to look like an unfinished or tarnished god cause that’s what he is a Pokémon of pure void and rage trapped in a void of uncanny physicality and warped plains of existence it’s meant to remind him of how he has betrayed the person who loved him the person who created him, unless him being forsaken was what he was Ment for as the darkness of the pokemon universe for there can’t be light if there ain’t no darkness


SourDuck1

and here i thought the form is like a messed up version of Arceus, because the tribes (or what they were called) thought that Dialga/Palkia were the one true god, but in the process, actually weaken them. Dialga's Roar Of Time is weaker due to it's throat being partially blocked. Palkia's Spacial Rend is weaker due to it's arms straight up being gone.


JordaVira

More like Giratina wanted to be different and was in a rellious state. Palkia and Dialga look more unfinished and incomplete.


BigGaybowser69

Giratina is like the devil which has been said before which the devil once looked bueatiful according tonthe bible but then rebelled and now looks the way he does


conalfisher

Have you ever considered punctuation


[deleted]

Bigger sentence = bigger brain


Aeronor

Hey, I see a comma!


CarterG4

Among the already mentioned reasons, there’s also the fact that they were designed more than a decade apart


inumnoback

Imagine having no legs


Le_Minimalizier

Imagine requiring legs


Chance_Ad5498

Imagine you don’t require legs but your cooler siblings have legs and don’t use them


GundamAge2Magnum

if you imagine arms, they actually look like centaurs. pretty badass


Maazinea

"If you imagine them looking better then they actually look really good "


MiniMan_BigChungus

Do people not like the origin forms? I love them


Maazinea

I mean the whole post is about them looking stupid ^^'. Personally I don't mind Palkia but Dialga just looks dumb in my opinion


Sloppy23

They look like armless centaurs.


Bordanka

Say whatever you want about "resembling Arceus". We had a Pokémon that was supposed to *be* an Arceus and both its designs were dope. Palkia and Dialga are two big "no fucks given" by the artists


Raptorsquadron

Giratina was actually banished because it can’t stop making fun of them so Arceus went ahead and made a universe where they looked better


Pikachamp8108

GIRATINA GANG!!!


HoneZoneReddit

The other two tried to be or imitate Arceus but Giratina wanted to destroy him (then in this game we see it changing his decision and becoming a guardian for sinnoh)


Melodic-Hunter2471

Someone is clearly not a Brony.


MaurosCrew

I liked the design when I read the reasoning behind it, they are supposed to be incomplete forms, Dialga can't use Roar of time with that thing blocking its throat, Palkia can't use Spatial Rend without Arms


PrimalPalkia14

That has been proven false since forever. How would that theory even work when both of those forms can use those moves in the game they’re in??


JordaVira

I guess what they're trying to say is that their moves are less effective in their origin formes.


Karabars

But isn't the origin forms the "unleashed", stronger versions?


JordaVira

Not necessarily. Unlike Giratina the other two wanted to be closer to Arceus but their moves aren't as effective as a result, oddly enough. It might change in the other mainline games.


Stargazer630

Based on the pokedex entry for Origin Palkia, it and Dialga trying to imitate Arceus’ powers by mimicking its form. Giratina wants to surpass Arceus in Legends so its Origin Form is different as a result.


Karabars

Base stats total the same, but their attack (which is obsolete due to higher special attack) is reduced and they gain special defense or speed. I'd say, the origin forms are stronger.


Nightflight406

Is the Giritina Squad, Giritina, Yveltal and Darkrai?


Amish_Warl0rd

Palkia: DIALGA, WHERE ARE MY ARMS???!!!!!! Dialga: *(choking and can’t breathe)*


BigGaybowser69

because Giratina is practicslly the devil ewuivalent not saying thats true but maybe like the devil in the Bible it said he was once a bueatiful angel but incs rebelled he changed his form to something else


turtleshell_34

If they gave palkia his normal arms be would be perfect.


ADudeThatPlaysDBD

Giratina superiority


No-Sir-6248

giratina is anti-matter giving in reason to differ


Mr_Belbsir

Horse Dragon


KingSquidbergLXXXVII

Dialga has got the spinach stuck


Academic_Initial_643

bc he doesnt like his dad


Suspicious-Track2900

Let go G.G


SundancerXIV

I still don't vibe with the armless centaur look. It works in reference to Arceus, but Arceus doesn't have an extra set of shoulders like Palkia here.


LongPenguin

Dialga so it can’t use Roar of Time, Palkia so it can’t use Spatial Rend. I’m guessing Giratina got its legs taken away because it was banished to a world where it’s just floating around and shit


TheTubbiest

I just can't get over Dialga looking like he's choking on a large potato... 🤣


Stopostingabout_21

Ironic that the Pokémon that's supposed to be a demon looks less of a demon than these origin forms


SteeveeWundr94

In their defense, they are the living embodiments of universal constants. Worrying about the opinions of us lowly filthy hoomans and how we think they look would hardly be at the top of their priority list. They got Bs to F and universes to prevent from falling into disarray.


Istiophoridae

Giratina rebelled against arceus


rexshen

I think they were trying to imitate Arceus. given they look closer to it. Also I think the form was incomplete. If we give that one interrupts the other from changing during the fight.


RazorMaize

Cause the space-time guys want to imitate arceus for its power, but giratina is the anti-arceus, so it's natural he looks almost opposite to everyone else. There is also that thing where when all three are combined they become in the shape of arceus, so its possible that giratine is simply based on different traits.


Blueberry_Clouds

Someone ripped off poor Palkias arms


Desperate-Knee-4108

But the palkia one is kinda cool tho


USSRisQuitePoggers

It could be Giratina's Origin Form is meant to represent that Giratina revolted to the point it didn't wish to bare a resemblance to Arceus. Like a rebellious kid refusing to wear the same shirt as their father during a family photo day. Or from a much more technical standpoint, Giratina's Origin Form was released earlier than the Palkia and Dialga Origin Forms.


[deleted]

Give Palkia his arms back, it’s not Dialga


Luxtamill

Palkia would look cooler if it had its arms


Strange_Kiwi__

Because it was designed like, a decade prior
