4th Gen Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina?

I really don't know, for I like all three of them.
But If I had to pick, I'd say Palkia.

I played Platinum first, but Giratina is still such a boss in my opinion.

I'd definitely go with Giratina. What can I say? I love director's cuts like Emerald and Platinum :D

I am going to of to go with Dialga. I never played Pt. so I can't give a very good answer. But Girtina is extremly close 2nd. I don't really care much for Palkia.

I always thought Palkia was kind of cool, and Spacial Rend is nice because you don't have to recharge after using it, even if it didn't do the same massive damage as Roar of Time, but I'm going to go with Giratina. Outside of it's Distortion World form, it just looks OK, but when it's in that form, I think it's one of the coolest looking legends in Pokemon.

At risk of sounding clichè, I'd say Giratina. Although it's orgin form looks horrible, the alternate one is awesome and just looks epic. I loved it instantly. Also, Giratina's special move may not be as strong as Dialga/Palkia's (subject to opinion) but I still love its move pool.

"Giratina is called the Renegade Pokemon in the Pokedex. Renegade is synonymous with "rebellious". Giratina was banished to a different dimension for being violent.
Satan is often known as the Rebellious One. He was banished by God to Hell for leading a rebellion against God and the angels.

Giratina in Origin Form resembles a serpent and in Altered form a basilisk. Satan takes the form of a serpent and a basilisk many times in the Bible.

When in Origin Form, Giratina has 6 wings, 6 rib bones, and 6 spikes.
When in Altered Form, Giratina has 6 rib bones, 6 spikes, and 6 legs.
The number of the Devil is 666."

And btw, I found this really creepy. Never noticed it.

Giratina because it is the coolest and has 2 forms!

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

Really? I found it pretty easy. Catching it was the hard part, especially when you're using ultra balls.

And personally, I liked Palkia the best out of them. Giratina looked prett-y weird looking to me.

Palkia. Pearl was my 4th gen game, and I always thought that it looked fierce and pretty cool as a shiny.

I liked Giratina a lot as my 2nd favorite, but Dialga isn't the best in my opinion.

Dialga and Palkia look like statues that can't move, designed to go on parade floats more than anything. Same with Reshiram and Zekrom.

I like Palkia and Diagla although I barely battle with them.

I first got them (all) in Pokemon Raptor EX, so I'm not biased I think.

If I had to choose one, I would go with Dialga. Because it has the best design and best type combination out of the three imo. Dialga is steel/dragon. I don't know if it's unique in that but it gives really good type effectiveness. Only weak to two types, takes normal damage from three types and immune to poison.

Palkia is water/dragon. If I wanted that type combination I could use Kingdra too although I don't like Kingdra's design that much either. It is a good type combo though. Also, I'm not a fan of Palkia's design.

Although Giratina has more immunities than the other two it has more weaknesses than Dialga and not really rare types in that. I don't like Giratina's design either. In it's origin forme it looks like an overgrown caterpillar and altered forme looks like a big fat creature, like an elephant.

I'm gonna have to go with Dialga on this one.. I got the short end of the stick when it came down to Legendaries with my fiancee. We buy the partner games (ie: Pearl/Diamond (she lost Platinum), and intend to get B&W, and B2&W2. We pick which one we want, and that's that. Did the same with HG/SS. Being a gentleman, I let her pick first.. she takes the cool one. I see Palkia, and I'm like, "Okay.. he looks damn tough.." I get him (without using Master Ball; was a PAIN), playing with him, get him to 70+.. then I see my fiancee's Dialga..

.......... I was pissed. I don't know anything about Giratina, but even though I have Palkia in my game.. I would prefer Dialga.. so, my vote goes to Diamond.

Definitely Dialga. It has a massive amount of resistances, and it looks awesome. That and the fact it resists other dragon types. I prefer spatial rend to roar of time, however, and I really don't like shadow force. If your opponent has a single normal type on their team, they can just switch out and you have wasted two turns. As such, Giratina 3rd; Palkia 2nd and Dialga definitely the best

Giratina, especially in it's Origin forme.

I simply adore it.

Dialga, only because I played Diamond.

Giratina. Love it's design, typing, backstory, world, etc more than the other two. Also Origin form is adorable okok.

Dialga. I think it's pretty fierce some, and looks pretty neat.
And it's unique typing is also pretty neat. It's the only Dragon type to take neutral damage from dragon type moves.
