Pokémon: 10 Reasons Diamond, Pearl & Platinum Are Under-Appreciated
4. Massive Expansion Into The Pokemon Lore
Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum gave us The God of Pokemon in Arceus and The Devil of Pokemon in Giratina. We would go on to learn that the Pokemon that had created the universe was the Pokemon known as Arceus. This is something that fans of Pokemon had been waiting years for. Ever since the beginning, people had been waiting for a backstory into the the expansive universe that was Pokémon.
One of the most fascinating Pokémon is Giratina. Giratina is without a doubt The Devil of Pokémon. Just like how The Devil was banished to Hell for attempting a revolution, Giratina was banished to The Distortion World for it's violence. If that isn't enough to prove it then there is more.
In Giratina's Altered Forme it takes the form of a Basilisk, and in it's Origin Forme it takes the form of a Serpent. In The Bible these are two forms that The Devil would often take. This was a massive step forward into the lore of Pokémon that fans had been craving so desperately much.
