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. :|

The 1st,2nd and the last favourite:
1.Giratina,with his DARK powers.
2.Palkia,dont REALLY really used but more tougher than Dialga(for me)
3.Dialga,hmm...dont really liked but if OAK just have a Dialga il accept.

Giratina s face are weird...she s my best legendary but she s a Scorpion or what???
Dialga s cry are horrible...aaaahhhh!!!
Palkia is the normal one...but i vote to Giratina.

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!

Dialga, both it's typing and design are amazing, whereas the other two are quite lacking in these categories.

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).

Giratina, by far. One could say it looks immensely powerful after just one glance at it.

Palkia is my favorite in terms of color (not to mention that Pearl was my first game), Dialga is my favorite in battle (way stronger than Palkia!), and Giratina is my favorite since it has the most awesome world ever! And it drags Cyrus down there, that too. XD

Gotta choose my homeboy Dialga, Diamond was the first pokemon game I ever played and is responsible for my love for Pokemon.

DIALGA FTW!

I love Giratina, but I chose Dialga because it's much better looking. I'm shallow about Pokemon.
