    One reason I don't like the 3D models as much as the sprites: Giratina's "wings" in the sprites looked like they were made of shadows. Minimal shading and the fact they were all one solid color gave them the appearance that they weren't really physical objects in our world, more like its wings were tears in reality leading to the distortion realm or something.

      @catherinestickels2591 4 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      Giratina is one where its sprite art waa just fantastic, so the models really don't hold up. I think my problem is that they're too smooth -- the spritw makes its body look ridged, while the model is flat. Rather than a ghost serpent with a golden skeleton it looks like a stripy slug with a mask. Also it looses the curve of its body that gave it a super nice profile, like most things with levitate. Gyarados loosing its iconic curled poses being another good example.
      I like the 3D models overall, but since this is one of my favorite pokemon its always been one that particularly bothered me.

    • @ultimaterecoil1136
      @ultimaterecoil1136 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Connor Stickels even the eh models were for the most part made worse on transition due to the lack of movement making all the 3D models look more lifeless then the sprites ( granted game freak has had more practice with sprites so it makes sense that for the most part it would be worse)

    Thank you for finally covering one of my all time favorite pokemon. Personally I think Shadow Force is underrated as while yes it is a 2-turn semi-invulnurable physical move it has the unique property of blasting through Protect and Detect while also doing massive damage and getting STAB. Phantom Force from gen 6 is basically its little sibling with the same effects but less power. A shame Giratina isn't used much in VGC though as it has the potential with its signature move to be very annoying to face since its not uncommon to double target mons.

    I feel like you're kinda underplaying the prevalence of Giratina-Origin in gen 7. It was THE defogger because it was the only viable defog user that:
    1. Wasn't weak to stealth rock
    2. Wasn't immediately threatened by Primal Groudon's stone edge and actually threatened common setup variants like the rock polish or swords dance sets. It didn't really see much use on stall because of its lack of a reliable recovery compared to ho-oh and lugia but it definitely saw a lot of play on the super common bulky offense teams usually alongside both primals. It was far and away the best pokemon in the tier for this.

    I caught a shiny Giratina in my last playthrough of Platinum. The very first encounter was shiny. It even was the nature I was hoping for thanks to my Espeon's Synchronize. I couldn't believe my luck. I used my Master Ball not being willing to risk knocking it out or even having technical problems. I was ina Skype call with my then girlfriend and I actually had one of those "moments of hype" that a lot of gaming channels like to show off. It's my favorite shiny that I loved using to destroy every colosseum in Battle Revolution with in glorious 3D.

      dynamax/gigantimax is region locked to the Galar region. Pokemon are only able to dynamax in Galar because of the special power spots where the gyms are built on top of that allow pokemon to be affected by the invisible Galar particles that these power spots emit. So pokemon can't dynamax/gigantimax outside of the Galar region because there is no power spots or Galar particles.
