Error?

"Giratina is the second dual-type Pokémon that has weaknesses to both of its own types. The other one is Nincada." "The other one is Nincada" - This is incorrect because Nincada is not weak to Bug or Ground. Which Pokemon is actually waek to both of its types? Tesh 18:08, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

None that I know of. The only types that are weak to themselves are ghost and dragon. I can't think of another combination with the same effect. --ElectAbuzzzz 18:19, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Maybe somebody did just make an error... I might as well remove it then. Tesh 18:37, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

If anything, I'd've thought it'd be Shedinja. Remember, to be weak to both of your own types means that one of the types could be weak to itself and the other type. The question is... what Pokémon could be weak to both of its own types? It doesn't seem like any of them could be. I mean, technically, Sableye and Spiritomb are weak to both Dark and Ghost on their Ghost-type, but their Dark-type covers both. So yeah, you're right. Until we get another Ghost/Dragon (which I hope is soon), we're not gonna have any Pokémon weak to their type twice. TTEchidna 05:56, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm hoping to see a Psychic/Dark or Psychic/Ghost type Pokémon... think about it... Tesh 21:45, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

I know this dosen't fit with previous topics, but i'm worried there might be an error in my game. Is giratina supposed to dissapear if you make it faint?

... uh, yeah. That's what the legendaries do. If you take them out, you just blew your chance and you'd better not have saved. --Pie ^~♪♫ 15:53, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Devil?

How is giratina the devil of poke'mon? It just lives on an opposite side of the world. Plus I don't think the developers are aware of the body part thing. It is also irrelevant to the subject.--arceus fan File:ArceusDP.png 21:42, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree. If no one objects, I will take it out now.--Dual 06:50, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Whoever changed it back, don't do it again. Giratina is NOT the Devil Pokemon. Get over it. --Dual 17:38, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Fourth lake of Sinnoh

Can we be so sure that Giratina is really part of the Dragon trio? It makes sense if you think everything through, but I find it interesting that Giratina is found in a cave near the "fourth lake of Sinnoh". Can it be assumed that Giratina has some association with the Lake trio, or is that simply too much of a stretch? // SzayelAporroGranzFile:Ani282MS.gif 23:28, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Arceus created Dialga/Palkia and the lake trio. It's not hard to see the link there. --FabuVinny ^T-C-S 23:29, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

H/W eight

The Height and Weight of Giratina's two forms are different. Should we place both of the weights and heights in the article (or in List of Articles by Weight or List of Articles by Height)?^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 18:39, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Opal trademark

I know we've had this conversation already on the Gold/Silver remakes talk page, but does anyone KNOW for certain that Nintendo trademarked the name Pokémon Opal? As far as I know, nobody's had any luck confirming the DuskGold/DawnSilver trademarks, so how do we know this one is for real, too? --Martonimos 07:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

http://www.pokemonopal.com proves this pretty well. TTEchidnaFire echy 07:24, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Definitely hard to argue with that. Thanks. Martonimos 23:54, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Couldn't someone have just bought the domain name and have it redirect to Nintendo?--Ocean2292 22:14, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

According to serbii, it is Pokémon PLatium, and Grantia is the Verson Mascot, I don't like where this is going, can someone block the pages: GRantinia, SHaymin, Regigiggas, Verson Mascot and anything to do with this Pokémon Platium thing, I don't want false rumors Spreading. I guess I'll put a link: http://serebii.net/index2.shtml --Quick Man 14:24, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Platinum? That's a surprise, since that has nohing to do with a Diamond or a Pearl. Then again, Crystal didn't match Gold and silver, so... - Cassius335 14:32, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Platinum actually does make some sense, though. Platinum in Japanese can be プラティナム puratinamu, or more commonly, プラチナ purachina (keep in mind chi and ti are essentially interchangeable, at least prounounciation/romanization wise). Now, both words contain ratina, just like ギラティナ Giratina. Puratinamu/Puratina, Giratina... Makes sense to me, anyway. Maybe even more than girasol. Either way, though, Platinum is just a rumor for now. The only problem is that http://www.pokemonplatinum.com doesn't ridirect to Nintendo like http://www.pokemonopal.com does, although I'm sure that will change if the rumors are true. We'll see what happens in the next CoroCoro... Homerowed 05:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

!protectnao

Okay, with this unconfirmed Pokémon Platinum b/s being added to the page (Along with random "e"s added to everything), I request protection. Else, I'll have to be adding my own fake stuff such as Lisae Franke Forme and the like. *runs* Tina^☆♫ 17:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

The "random "e"s" are being added because that's how the Official stuff for the 11th movie names the forms of Giratina; if they use "Origine" and "Forme", that's because it's supposed to be like that and we're not to question it. Otherwise we would use "Tears for Fears" instead of "Tears For Fears!", for example. - D-Wheel 17:51, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

See it? ORIGINE FORME, ANOTHER FORME. - D-Wheel 17:51, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Okay, yeah. This is getting out of hand. Protect. Tina^☆♫ 17:55, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Protected, but the main reason actually WASN'T the excess E's. It was some bull**** unconfirmed report about a tie-in of its name to platnium based on unconfirmed rumors of the third to Diamond and Pearl being a Platnium (the chances of that being true are slim to none). --Shiningpikablu252 18:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Darling, they're all possibilities! I bet you weren't there when the name was conceived. - D-Wheel 18:34, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Eh, I just hope they don't keep those stupid E's in English. Otherwise we'll have Deoxys Normale Forme, Attacke Forme, Defence Forme, and Speede Forme. Yes, Defence with a C. TTEchidna 02:25, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Don't make me start the "sitting on Defence" jokes. - Cassius335 12:49, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, we really have to get rid of the extra e's. This is english after all. Noname

Respectful disagreement. The Platinum website uses "forme" as well, although it's reverted to "origin". Surely you've seen places that jokingly spell their names "ye olde shoppe," or something similar. --Martonimos_((Talk)) 21:17, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

But we don't know if NOA will go for the fake-Medieval feel. Until we get English confirmation, we should follow the precedent of Deoxys and use modern English. --FabuVinny ^{|Talk Page|} 21:20, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

All right, that makes sense. But I think we should definitely at least mention the 'Forme' stuff in the trivia sections of this page and others it's relevant to. --Martonimos_((Talk)) 21:31, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Name Origin

To Cassius335: How the hell did you get Guillotine,Giraffe from Giratina?? Girasol and platina are the only words to make Giratina. Force Fire 11:39, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

THANK YOU FORCE FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, if it was based on that word, then it should learn the move...Posted by the Θρtιmαtum♏^Talk|Links11:45 16 May 2008

I think we have a clear verdict here.Pokémon Master 19:47 16 May 2008

Hmm, Guillotine, Giratina. Guirallotinea. Posted by the Θρtιmαtum♏^Talk|Links11:50 16 May 2008

Hmmmmm. I do see how guillotine is part of the name, But why giraffe? Force Fire 11:59, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

But why would Game Freak go through so much trouble of breaking down Guillotine and adding an 'a' to the end when the mascots of Diamond and Pearl are derived from there respective jewel, so obviously they would do similar with the third mascot hence Girasol and Platinum being in Giratina's name.Pokémon Master 20:04 16 May 2008

Yes, we get the idea, I agree, You agree, everyone agrees, Damnit! Force Fire 12:07, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

OK!I'm just making a point so that Cassius335 sees that he or she doesn't have to be perfect and that people get it wrong sometimes.Pokémon Master 20:09 16 May 2008

Girasol (hence the 'gira' part) + Platina (hence the 'tina' part) = Giratina!

And do sign off, b@$+@rd...Tina could be also an origin, according to you. Posted by the Θρtιmαtum♏^Talk|Links11:54 16 May 2008

Sorry I forget sometimes.Pokémon Master 19:56 16 May 2008
