    • My favourite is Palkia, I bought Pearl when it came out so for no reason at all I just have a like towards that one more than the other three.

    • In order (and why):
    1. Dialga...Roar of Time. Need I say more?
    2. Palkia...Never really used it, but I like it more than Giratina.
    3. Giratina...Absolute garbage Pokemon. Moves weren't that great. The only thing I liked about it was it's high HP

    Forever Palkia. <3 Don't have Giratina yet, since I've been SRing my Platinum for shiny starters, and I never got Diamond because I never really cared for Dialga.

    Dialga. He's blue and part steel type. :] I get really frustrated battling Palkia, though, as it is Dragon and Water type (the same as Kingdra), bringing back memories of awful battles against Clair in Gold and Silver version. :|

    • My favorite has to be Giratina.
    Come on people, Shadow Force hits even if the target protects itself.
    Plus, I like it's Origin Forme. :3

    • Dialga and Palkia just look like Digimon from Season 3 onwards (in other words, Digimon after it stopped being good), so I'm going to have to go with Giratina here. Giratina is nothing amazing itself, but compared to Dialga and Palkia it's great.

    • Everybody loves Dialga for some reason. Giratina too. :/ I loved Palkia. I like Giratina too, but Dialga was just...ugh. XD;

    Firstly, Palkia is part water-type. I LOVE water-type Pokemon since they're so powerful and have a great moveset. I also like Spatial Rend, since it's a pretty original move, unlike Dialga's Hyper Beam copycat Roar of Time. It also looks amazing. It stands upright on two-legs, giving it this dignified look. Dialga looks like a disheveled stray dog (no offence Dialga, but the truth hurts :[). And Palkia had its strengths in the battle. From the top of my head, I can think of only one weakness Dialga has (Dragon), compared with Dialga's 2 (Ground and Fighting) and Giratina's 4 (Ice, Dragon, Dark and Ghost).

    Giratina was pretty good for battles. It has a lot of weaknesses, but it makes up for them because of its bulk. It's probably better than Palkia in battles, probably because of my style of battling (sit it out). Then again, the 4 (I think it's 5) weaknesses of Giratina make it pretty vulnerable to a powerful attack by the foe.

    Overall, I guess I prefer Palkia over Giratina, and Giratina over Dialga. I guess it's because I've played Pearl and Platinum a number of times compared with playing Diamond just once (and subsequently having more experience with Giratina and Palkia over Dialga).

    I'm going to have to go with Dialga. Why? Well, I chose Diamond because of its' appearance.

    It's got a unique type combination, with puts it over Palkia. Also, I generally prefer its' design to that of Giratina, and nostalgia puts it ahead of Giratina too.

    So, yeah. Oh, also, in Giratina and the Sky Warrior and Arceus and the Jewel of Life, Dialga was a good guy! Firstly, Giratina drags the poor guy into the Distortion World, and then he uses up most of his strength enabling Ash and Co. to travel through time!

    I've only played Pearl.

    I'm for Dialga. Just because it looks the coolest and isn't pink or weird-looking. ^^

    Palkia, since it my favourite type combination (love Water and Dragon types). I like how the pearls are positioned on 'him' (I decided Palkia is male).
