First there were those legendary birds, Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres and as ubers Mewtwo and Mew, nothing really special but now: God? Huh? if we are religious now, it breaks one of the Ten Commandments as I know from school.. This has just gone so far, if 5th generation comes, I wonder what are the legends going to be like..

Nintendo's definitely running out of ideas.
God pokemon?
Srsly.
D :
Nintendo doesn't make the games.

They aren't running out of ideas. There are lliterally thousands of mythological, fictional, and real life animals that have yet to have a Pokemon designed after them.

Just because you don't like the games any more doesn't mean they're running out of ideas, the games are horrid, etc...

No where does it say Arceus is God, god, God of Pokemon, divine, a deity, etc...

And really, Multitype limits Arceus, in some ways. If you want to use Judgement-Mutlitype, then you lose out on Leftovers recovery, or Choice items, and a variety of others.

if we are religious now, it breaks one of the Ten Commandments as I know from school..
If you have a functioning brain, you'll realize that it's a video game and not real life.

I agree. Game Freak is the one that develops the game entirely, Nintendo just publishes it.

I still dont think Ninendo, or Game Freak, whatever you wanna call it, shou;d have made Arceus yet, or actually let me rephrase that. They should not have made it public, and they should have made Arceus in the last generation of PKMN (if there will ever be one. xD)
he did it, not me.

I think a few of you are taking it far too literal.

I don't play much uber games on wifi, but seeing as its predominately psychic, you may see a lot of ghost/dark/bug type Arceus. just my opinion on that.

Pl0twise, its just a bad mix of religion getting involved with pixelated animals, which i feel is a bad move on Gamefreaks part. y'know that church in hearthome city? USELESS. we'll see how gamefreak releases this pokemon

And in the 12th movie of pokemon, I expect to it be the same as pokemon 2000. 3 deities fighting, a higher power comes in and stops it, humans try to capture it, bad things happen, ash saves the world for like...the 12th time. and that's it.

gotta catch 'em all right?

There is no religion mentioned in the games, in the past tense or present tense. There is only a vague reference to Dialga and Palkia that they're deities in the anime.

It isn't a church because there is no mention of Christianity in Pokemon, except for a brief reference of the Noah's Ark story during the St. Anne episode (and that's only the dub, I'm unsure if the raw said that).

It's called the Foreign Building (Foreign Culture Building in the Japanese version). Don't believe me? Save the game and start it back up in the building, or hatch an egg while in there.

It's Pokemon. If you were expecting some revolutionary piece of cinema, gaming, or animated cartoon, you're looking at the wrong franchise.

Arceus isn't some uber diety that crosses the boundary between video games and religion. It's simply the answer to the question many fans have asked since the begining: 'Who was the first Pokemon?'. Well, now you have your answer and your complaining about it.

Arceus is by no means the definitive answer to that question. It hinges on a lot of big IFs:

IF the Sinnoh myths are ACTUALLY as true as the fan speculationists want them to be

And if it discredits the myths surrounding Mew.

(In the strcitly factual sense, Mew was the first Pokemon registered for a Trademark)

Uh, wasn't that question answered in Gen 1? Mew was the first pokemon.

And yes, Arceus is an uber deity. It says it right there in the Pokedex, he created the Pokemon World.

No. IT says In Mythology. Myths are just stories. They are not based on fact and are often told to explain the unknown or teach a lesson rather than pass down history.

which in turn created Mew whom in turn gave birth to all other Pokemon
That's not even part of the myth. That's just rampant speculation.

yes, that still points to religion and gods anyways.

It's called the Foreign Building (Foreign Culture Building in the Japanese version). Don't believe me? Save the game and start it back up in the building, or hatch an egg while in there.

yes, the japanese version. but who cares about actual terms, its a church. AND ITS POINTLESS IN THE GAME ITSELF

It's Pokemon. If you were expecting some revolutionary piece of cinema, gaming, or animated cartoon, you're looking at the wrong franchise.
did i say i was expecting something else? Simply put, i was just stating the obvious.

Exactly my point, take a literal don't cha? meh

Arceus is just nintendo trying to please the hackers by giving them a haxxorz pokemon.

if arceus is the 'god' pokemon, and supposedly the strongest of them all, then how is nintendo going to top that with the next generation's pokemon?
they are just overdoing it and making it hard for themselves later on
They confiscated my monkeys.

No, you're still wrong.

First, church is a Christian term. There is no mention of Christianity in Pokemon games at all.

Second, I told you what it's called and you dismissed it as "still a church" except it isn't.

It also isn't pointless. It serves to promote the general theme of Pokemon. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it pointless.
Not your concern Ave.

I think he's a very cool looking, and likable pokemon. He looks awesome in the anime. but i dont think he can be classified as a "god". just a really, really strong pokemon. Its cool that he dosen't have a equal though. heres what i mean.

Mew- Mewtwo
Palkia- Dialga
Darkrai- (Fought dialga and palkia in movie)
Groudon- Kyogure

I'd rather have all of the pokemon closer together in strength. I think as far as strength goes, Nintendo overdid it a little for this particular pokemon. In Pokemon revolution someone used Arceus againist me. It was his last pokemon. It was a double battle and it literally took both Palkia and Groudon working together to defeat him. By the time it was done Palkia had fainted and Groudon had half health. Granted, Palkia didn't have full health when Arceus was brought out to start with.

Pokemon team: Level 65 Empoleon, Level 65 Staraptor, Level 65 Luxray, Level 65 Torterra, Level 65 Porygon2, Level 65 Tauros. Alternate Pokemon: Level 43 Rapidash, Level 34 Machamp, Level 34 Alakazam, Level 57 Palkia, Level 58 Groudon, Level 56 Uxie

I have tested Arceus several times in PBR, and actually, with the right Pokémon, it's not much of a threat. Stupid Groudon *grr*

Come on now, lets use Sugimori art instead of that old thing. Anyway, after the movie comes out Im certain it will be hard to forget Arceus. It looks to epic to forget.
