4th Gen Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina?

I like Giratina the most out of the three.

I like Giratina because what isn't there to like about a big honking antimatter dragon?

Defenatly Giratina, it's a pain to find in Diamond/Perl though.

I love Giratina's design (both formes) and shiny coloration! Palkia is a close second though.
Giratina also got a decent amount of backstory in Platinum that really made him a memorable Pokemon for me.

For some reason I like Dialga more, probably because time really interests me, Diamond was my first DPPt game, yeah, biased. Giratina is cool but I also like Dialga's design a lot too.

I like Dialga more, primarily because I played with Diamond first. It's also good at taking hits. Palkia does come in close because of its good offensive capabilities.

I always thought Palkia looked whack. Dialga was better, but Giratina was my favorite.

I really like Dialga. Entirely because of the whole Time thing, I think it's fascinating. Giratina's a close second though. seriously, wtf palkia

I'd have to go with Dialga. Diamond was the only game of the generation I got to play, and I just really love Dialga's design. Roar of Time was a splendid signature move for it, and I've always loved the animation. I never really liked Palkia's design, as it just looked pretty weird to me, and not in any way as majestic as Dialga appears to be, so no way I'd ever choose it.

Giratina would come as a close second though, as I've always loved the whole two formes thing, and both had great designs. I also liked how they gave it a bit of an eerie backstory and feel to it, with the whole reverse world and such, so definitely a close run between those two.

So yeah, my favourite is Dialga, with Giratina close by, and Palkia long behind.

I'd pick time manipulation over space and antimatter on a whim. In fact, since I need time to explain why I prefer one over the other two, all other arguments against Dialga are invalid.

Seriously though? I played Pokémon Diamond and not Pearl, and I liked Dialga more than Giratina because the time affinity is way too appealing. Oh and Dialga's blue. I don't know why but I prefer his colour over the other two's pink and black for the overall concept of huge tyrannical legendary beings that control time or space or antimatter.

Oh. My. Arceus.
-spazz moment-
I LUFF YEW GIRATINA
-dies-
I love giratina becous of its design and type combo. I mean, a GHOST DRAGON!? Two of my favorite types...combined! All into one big dragon full of ghost-ness, dragon-ness, antimater-ness, awesome-ness, and pokemon.
And its SS walking srprite. Both formes are awesome. And a baby giratina would look adorable, considering the arceus event where you get your giratina at level 1.

I don't really like any of these. They don't really seem to be inspired off of anything, and they are covered in pointless armor. They are decorated in clashing colored markings, and they aren't even too good in battle. If I absolutely had to pick one, I'd pick Giratina, as the Ghost/Dragon typing is useful in battle.

While I did choose Pearl initially because I preferred Palkia over Dialga (it reminded me of a pink Godzilla at the time), I've grown to like Dialga more ever since I finished the game. I now prefer his unique typing and steel dragon-llama design, and controlling time does seem like the coolest power out of the three of them.
