History WMG / PokemonDiamondAndPearl

While researching, he's found out that Arceus, and the other legendaries that are building themselves up into a God-like level, are not really Gods and had no part in creating the word. In fact, this is all [[{{XanatosGambit}} just as planned]] by Arceus to make himself up into a [[{{AGodAmI}} God]]. He is just an insanely high leveled Pokemon, that clearly would be more stronger than the other wild Pokemon as most of them aren't even allowed over level 50 in the games (other than that place where you get the 100 leveled Magikarp, but then, Magikarp is useless) so in comparison can look to be God-like to them. Arceus could have easily beaten up these weakened Pokemon, to make them all consider him as their God and creator of the world. He then appeared to the humans after coercing the Pokemon, so after giving a show of an extrem4 amount of power, and having the other Pokemon turning into grovelling wimps before him, the humans were under the impression that Arceus must be their God. After a few generations, even the Pokemon began to believe this, and the humans were being fooled into making the legend of Arceus quite disproportionate, so that everyone really did believe that he created the world.

Giratina is listed as a renegade Pokemon, suggesting that he and Arceus aren't on the best terms. Though the dialogue of the Veilstone Myth is more befitting Shaymin in this troper's opinion, Giratina is a popular pick for it. This was also the end of the golden age where Pokemon lived together with humans. Giratina either hated the age, and simply wanted it gone, or believed the current arrangement was more suitable, but was shot down by Arceus. And so he went over his head. Giratina first planted a powerful sword where someone suitable would find it, leading to the massacre of the region. Once the person repented, he then offered his own setup as a covenent, which was accepted. Arceus certainly didn't like it, but as humanity entered the deal willingly, he was unable to revoke it.

This may be a bit of a stretch, but after reading an earlier WMG, this troper couldn't help but to come up with this. It's established from [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} the very first movie]] that Mewtwo has a resentment towards the humans that created him artificially (although in the English dub, they got rid of the part where he admits to despise the scientists' meddling through creating clones) and had a hatred towards other humans and their Pokemon, because of this. Well, this troper believes that it wasn't just the cloning that peeved him, it was the fact that these humans were trying to make themselves out to be like a God by trying to create life. Think about it; Team Rocket is evil, and Mewtwo knew of their plans. Why would you think they'd want to create an ultimate Pokemon? Clearly, they were trying to create all these powerful beings, like Mewtwo, to have an army of ultimate Pokemon to take over the world with. And what better ego boost is there other than to gloat "I created this army of ultimate Pokemon out of nothing, therefore that makes me God!" However, Mewtwo was just not pleased with that mentality. He was created by science and grew up around it, most likely he would be anti-religious or prefer to take logic over mythical answers.

So, after the events of the first movie, he goes off with all the clones he made to do what exactly? Well, clearly he is doing something, and this troper bets it has something to do with doing the same with other frauds attempting to build themselves up as Gods. Think of him as the [[{{DarkMessiah}} Dark Messiah]] in this case. With all the new Pokemon coming up each generation, you can't honestly believe that he'd be ignorant of their existence, or of the new legendaries? Heck, this troper is certain that not only is he learning of these new legendaries from other Pokemon or from sneaking around in society unnoticed and gaining the information from the humans who know of these legends, but also has decided to find out whether these legends were true.

This is where Mewtwo comes in. See, unbeknownst to Arceus, one Pokemon actually had the intelligence to question his authority as God and PROVED IT WRONG. Yes, Mewtwo knows Arceus is a fraud, and is not happy with that! He went to confront this so called "God" to beat the stuffings out of him for deceiving all the Pokemon and humans. Mewtwo's not afraid to blow the enemy up a few times before getting to the explanations, so of course it'd be perfectly in character for him to attack first, getting Arceus before he has time to say "Wait, What?" However, Arceus isn't a push over, oh no. There's a reason why the other Pokemon listened to him and announced him as their God. The two get into a small fight, of epic proportions, but it is stopped shortly as Arceus realises that Mewtwo isn't just any Pokemon he can deal with by a single "Judgement" attack. So Arceus flees, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike back. This is why Arceus is impossible to find, because he is hiding from Mewtwo. Mewtwo, on the other hand, is out searching for Arceus to finish off the job, which is exactly what he's been doing all this time and why he seems to prefer spending more time around human civilization rather than staying secluded with only Pokemon. He's trying to find some more reliable sightings of the fraud, as Arceus could easily order the other Pokemon into lying on his behalf, but no human would be able to understand Arceus to obey his order and they would be too shocked when seeing Mewtwo to even think of lying.

Think about it: in the Johto remakes, you can create a Dialga, Palkia or Giratina egg using Arceus. During the ceremony, Arceus summons a horde of Unown to create an egg. Arceus is more or less the soul of the Unown, made manifest into a Pokemon. The Unown are the actual body. This is why the Unown are useless: they're essentially projecting their entire consciousness into Arceus, making the actual Unown near-mindless. This is also why you can capture Arceus: it has no power on its own, and the Unown can create another focus for their consciousness. Finally, note how the Unown cannot breed whatsoever, despite being neither baby Pokemon or legendary? [[God They really are legendary.]]

Long story short, Cyrus developed the Dubious Disk. The Porygon you got in Platinum was supposed to be his prototype, but it obviously never reached him (and then [[KleptomaniacHero you took the Upgrade and the Dubious Disk, too]]).

Palkia represents space, and Diagla represents time. Gravity, according to the Theory of Relativity, is defined by the ''warping'' of space-time, which would fit Giratina thematically with the other members of its trio, as well as explaining its space-time warping abilities. In addition, its home "dimension" is most notable for being a place where gravity is all wonky, which fits in with this ability (in essence, Giratina uses its control over gravity to act as a kind of living black hole, wrapping the fabric of space-time around it to create a "pinched off" mini-universe of extremely warped space to use as a "nest"). Finally, it has two Formes, one which is affected by gravity and one which defies it. Makes a lot more sense than connecting it to antimatter or alternate dimensions, doesn't it?

Think about it: they're both highly-intelligent [[GadgeteerGenius Gadgeteer Geniuses]] who spent a portion of their lives in Sunyshore, they're both powerful Pokemon trainers, they're both withdrawn and depressed for various reasons, and then there's the renewable energy focus of both of them (Cyrus's Team Galactic researches alternative energies as a cover, and Volkner likes solar panels, one of the most famous renewable energy sources to date). Hell, they even ''look'' something alike!
