Movie 11 Web site updated: Shaymin, Giratina's origin form revealed

After the March issues of CoroCoro Comics and Famitsu magazine revealed the title and stars of the 11th Pokémon movie, Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin, the official movie Web site has been updated with images of both Shaymin and Giratina's new "origin form."

The last thing you could say about the notion of Giratina starring in the third game is that is is implied anywhere, let alone obviously. It is arguably not once mentioned in the games (one occurrence could be attributed to Canalave Library, but it is ambiguous). Furthermore, it does not appear in the Sinnoh Dex, and is superceded by the lake trio in terms of plot relevance. To anyone capable of understanding that a resemblance to the Rayquaza scenario should not yield an identical outcome, Giratina's version mascot status is the opposite of guaranteed.

At any rate, how does Giratina's additional form have anything to do with its being a version mascot? It could easily be featured on the boxart without having a new form, or alternatively, be given a new form without having the game as a namesake.
 
Well...uhh...it's a dual-type dragon type and seems to go along with Dialga and Palkia and...dammit. >_>

Still, there isn't really anything else that can fit as the third version's mascot. Maybe the lake trio like how Crystal did it with Suicune, but still, just because Giratina is not in the Sinnoh dex doesn't mean it's ruled out. Reason why I said its original form could do with it being a version mascot is my raising an eyebrow at them giving it Pokedex stats. It just seems a little odd that they would do such a thing and give specifics. True, it could just be trivia, but who knows.
 
Yeah, at this point I'm thinking the Version Mascot for the final game might actually be Mesprit, or all of the Legendary Fairies together. Or a very slim chance that Arcues will not be an event Pokemon, but will rather be exclusively caught at the third game's Spear Pillar instead of Dialga or Palkia.
 
Why is everyone doubting that Giratina will be the mascot of the 3rd game? Do you say this because you think it's far too similar to Emerald?

Before it was announced that Giratina would be in the new movie and its new form revealed, my first choice was it being the mascot for the 3rd game. I'm not sure why Mesprit's name keep popping up as a contender for the 3rd game mascot. What's so special about Mesprit? I think a big factor in deciding the mascot for the 3rd game is how popular the Pokemon is. Compared to Mesprit, Giratina is much, much more popular. It will be featured in a new movie with a new form, not to mention it's bloody awesome!

I don't know why everone else thinks it will be Misprit, but if you ask me, having Misprit as the DP3 mascot would be similar to having Suicune as the Crystal mascot.

Misprit is the most focused on of it's trio, and so was Suicune.

That's true. Mesprit is more special than the other two because you actually have to hunt it down before you can catch it and wasn't Mesprit the one Dawn saw at the very beginning?

Mesprit is not that similar to Suicune. The only similarity is that it's part of the trio and slightly more popular than the other two. Suicune was actually popular and well liked. I think that's why it was featured in Crystal.
 
I find both Misprit and Giratina possible. Just as in anything, you can't really tell until it's said and done. Heck, at this point Darkrai could be the masot of the thrid DP game for all we know!
 
Personally, I think Cresselia would be the 3rd gen boxart.

Also, Girantina's new form is a bit disturbing, though this is probably just the anime art. I wonder if we'll be seeing a new preview anytime soon? Perhaps with the gym battle episode?
 
Here's something mentioned in the article about the Giratina's Orgin form. It said that the form is only visable when Giratina travels between dimensions. So if it were to appear in the game, we would have to be traveling between dimensions. That would be cool.

People keep on assuming that it's the Pokemon version of Satan and the brother of Palkia and Dialga but there's actually absolutely no canon material that supports it. It's fanon.
 
Truth be told, I think Giratina has the highest probability with being on the cover, but it isn't absolute. I think Mespirit would be redundant though... It was already heavily focused in the game, it'd be like if the third game in the RBY featured Mewtwo.

Also, I can't remember if I said this the other day or not, but I think the new form of Giratina is very cool. It looks like an eastern dragon while the other looks like a european dragon. (An often forgotten design two with the 6-legs)

I don't like the way they drew Shaymin in that picture for some reason.. It looks cheap, I'm not sure why it comes off that way, lol.

(On the bright side of things, being confirmed in the movie means there will be Shaymin dolls, meaning people can have their pretty Shaymin purses if they want to make 'em)

I just want a Shaymin doll period. <3 It's like the cutest of all the cute event Legendaries.
 
I agree!

Shaymin is my second favorite legendary! ^_^


My favorite legendary Pokemon is Mew. It's cute and very unique!! And of course, Shaymin is also very cute. XD

If anything, it'll be with the Ranger episode/s, they usually use 1 hour specials for new trailers and stuff.
 
So, the major three contenders for the third game are Giratina, Cresselia, and Arceus. You really don't know. It will probably be Giratina, but there is a really good chance t could be Arceus.
