What happens if you catch Giratina before going to the Distortion World in Platinum?

You can catch it in Turnback Cave in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. But what if you were to catch it in Turnback Cave in Platinum BEFORE entering the Distortion World?

It's impossible. You can only catch Giratina in the Distortion World.

Only way is trading with another game I think. The only real change would be that Giratina would appear in its Altered Forme in the Pokédex as it was traded. I don't think the story changes if this is done, anyway.

I require answers. And yes you can catch it in Turnback Cave. Look it up.

I did look it up. You can only get into Turnback Cave after beating the Elite Four after being in the Distortion World, due to Cynthia blocking the entrance, and Giratina is only catchable in Turnback Cave in Diamond and Pearl. in Platinum it's just the Griseous Orb.

The only way you would be able to catch Giratina in Turnback Cave in Platinum would be to KO the one in the Distortion World first, and considering Cynthia blocks the entrance to Turnback Cave until you beat her, it's impossible.
