5th Gen Shiny Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina annouced

I think all 3 of these pokemon look good as shinies, with Shiny Dialga looking the best. Even though I do not like these pokemon, I do want to claim them.

Usually when they release pokemon at the end of a generation/game, it has significance in the next generation. Examples being the Jirachi released before HGSS, which unlocked a Pokewalker course, and the Arceus which allowed entry into the Shinto Ruins. What excites me most about this event is to consider why they're choosing to release them after XY is being hyped.

This is cool! I'm going to try to get them.

Also today, Serebii has also confirmed the event for Australia, to be held at EB Games and JB Hi-Fi stores. The dates for the three Pokemon are as follows: August 30-September 12 for the Dialga, September 13-September 26 for Palkia and September 27-October 11 for Giratina. The event finishes the day before X & Y's release, simultaneous with the US and UK events.

Since they're shinies being given out via events, that means they must have fixed natures like all shiny events. I wonder what their natures will be (possibly the non-benefitial ones like last time with the shiny Golurk and Hydreigon).

Intersting even though there are already shiny sprites for them in the game

Thats true but it is just giving people an easy opportunity for a shiny legend. basically

Ugh, my mom/dad will never take me to gamestop for Pokemon... Is there a chance that someone could clone a good natured of each Legendary? xD It sucks how my parents are so disapproving of Pokemon :|

Ah sweet, I'll be able to get them then, I'll end up having 4 of each!

Yeah, only have to go to Gamestop 3 times for 12 shinnies. And the third time I get my 2 new Pokemon games as well. I can aslo have them "cloned" for anyone who wants them who can't go. Just message me.

Excellent. Since I've completed both games, this means I have more Pokémon for later Gen. VI importing. And two to boot!

Wow, this sounds amazing! I wonder what they look like... I bet it is super-duper awesome!

They have images on the Pokemon site

Just curious, are these Shinies in DW ability?

does anyone know if you have to have the game beaten to be able to get them?

You just have to have Mystery Gift unlocked on your game.

It's unknown right now if they'll have their hidden abilities.

I'm rather annoyed that this event starts the exact day I go back to work from vacation. I'll have to head out to my local Gamestop to get these, as I always appreciate an easier way to get a shiny legendary. A shiny Dialga and Giratina look amazing.

I don't *think* the Dialga has its Dream World ability, but I haven't checked yet. Telepathy would be so much better than Pressure, being able to dodge friendly EQs. :D

I think this is why they shouldn't release shiny legendary events. Destroys peoples hard work.
If anything, They should release event Pokemon with exclusive moves.
Such as Blissey with Seismic Toss for example. As it is near impossible to get that move for Bliss nowadays'

What's even worse, is that they're giving it away a freaking Level 100. Seriously. Sure, some people RNG for shinies, but there's no denying that getting to Level 100 (without hacking) is supposed to be a challenge. Undebatably, this destroys people's hard work.

I remember reading about these events on Serebii.net. I already have a Dialga, but since it's free, it wouldn't really hurt to get another one. xD" I'll try to download this Pokémon today, in fact. Since September is right around the corner, the Dialga event is going to end pretty soon. I will get Palkia, too, because it's my favorite of the trio. I'm not too sure about Giratina, though. I have about five to six of those in my PC box right now.

I haven't gotten the Dialga yet, though I might do that. And I'll probably get the Palkia since it's my favorite of the creation trio.

Also, I took the Gen V forum's 125,000th post :P
