New Giratina form?

Or it could be Giratina is a transformer.

I mean heck, Metagross can float around like some hexagonal metal thing or it can be a metal spider.

I wouldn't set my hopes too high.
 
EDIT: SWChill, you are wrong. If it were available this gen, why wouldn't we see any sprites? If your going to say, " When you transfer to opal it turns into that thing. " I highly doubt this because again, we would have seen at least a sprite with stats. (for when battling on wifi, we aren't going to be seeing a blank screen... )
Plus it would be unfair for opal to not be able to use Giratina.
I specifically mentioned Deoxys and you still didn't get it. Read up on your pokemons friend.
 
Hm... who is to say that it would not be able to appear in PBR? Unless somone can confirm that the data for an extra giratina isnt anywhere in the game?
 
Hmm, perhaps this transformation is only unique to the movie? It could be an alternate form in an upcoming game but I really doubt it.
 
From pokebeach:

On the second page with Giratina's origin form, the guy on the right is asked, "Can Giratina fly?!" and he says, "I've seen it... that guy flies around freely!" They ask the guy on the left, "It doesn't exist in DP?! [Giratina's origin form]" and he says, "The origin form isn't in the game. I wonder why!?" Could Giratina be like Deoxys in that it has additional forms in future games? Could this foreshadow Giratina as the possible mascot of the Diamond and Pearl remake game? Who knows? Giratina's new form looks very snake-like / spinal cord-y.

New game ftw?
 
This will add a twist to WiFi - If you want the new form on your Ubers team then you won't be able to use D/P for your battling and vice versa.
 
I doubt it will be similar to Deoxys because even when you linked battle with deoxys it wouldn't show Deoxys-FR or Deoxys-LG it was a simple deoxys since it all showed 1 version of deoxys it was easier to "use" different stats.

This is all assuming only 1 form is shown for deoxys in adv gen as I don't really remember this 100% but I doubt it.

As for the picture honestly aside from the difference stats(height and weight) it looks really the same as regular giratina just crouched down and moving snake like >_>
 
Why do people say this is some "new form." This is from the movie. My guess is that is just what it looks like when it is flying. That does not mean I do not want to see it in the next game as an offensive version. Maybe a GSC remake with that as a mascot? I think that hope is in vain unfortunately. :(

Well... they'll have to do it sometime... surely they'll want to milk it as much as possible :naughty:

Anyway, I think this new Giratina doesn't look half bad (aesthetically). I think I'll reserve judgment on what it could be though.
 
I heard from yamipoli the D/P games do have the ability to receive updates for new locations and items and such by downloading the data from another game, so it's possible that a new Giratina form could be patched onto the existing DS games this way. That would mean the third version, or Gold/Silver remakes, could have this update.
 
god damn my bad internet :[ is it possible for someone to PM me the picture or copy and apste it here, because it sounds really cool but i cant see it XD

This new Giratina is awesome, i really like this new design it makes it look more dragon like than caterpillar like.

who knows it might be the preview for the new pokemon for the 5t gen they have in the movie like munchlax.

EDIT:
heres a better pic

they also revealed the official artwork for shaymin

If that doesn't show up for you, here:

Man i never liked giratina, a ghost/dragon typing could have been so much cooler looking than that. The new form is slightly better, but i still dont like it. And just by looking at it, it seems like it will have more speed than the old form.

Also, i dont think that the base stats will be swapped. At least not necessarily. Of the four different Deoxys, not one of them has the same base stat in one area that the other has in other. Except for HP, which they all have the same, and the speed of normal and attack deoxys, all stat spreads have different numbers between forms.
 
This form to me looks like a lost spirit while the form we know and love looks like an evil dragon monster ready to strike.
 
origin form.

giratina is originally from another world. on the opposite side as ours. this is what it looks like there, where things like gravity don't exist. it has to change to come here.

also. giratina is classified as the renegade pokemon. if arceus is the god pokemon, and exists in a higher realm than this, and giratina comes from a world on the opposite side of ours, maybe giratina is the pokemon lucifer? or maybe it's just for the movie.

i'd like it if it were deoxys-style though. i wouldn't put it past gamefreak, i mean deoxys didnt have speed form in it's movie no? and it still turned up. gamefreak and nintendo and whatever the anime company is dont work separately. so my guess would be we will see this in the game somehow. an correct me if i'm wrong, but if i battled your FR deoxys from my LG cartridge, didn't i see the LG form of deoxys?
 
Im very excited about this but what people are predicting for the speed. 150 base seems a little (just a little) overkill.

its defenses would suffer then if that is the case lol. Drastically.

I like it.

Maybe this is its "other world form" Seeing how it is in our world, it may adapt and become defensive.
 
Or it could be Giratina is a transformer.

I mean heck, Metagross can float around like some hexagonal metal thing or it can be a metal spider.

I wouldn't set my hopes too high.

I thought about this but then i was like, why would they give a weight/height to a "different position" of the Giratina.

This form has a different height and weight to Giratina, being 6.9m and 650kg while the Giratina we know is 4.5m and 750kg.

Physically speaking this basically means it dropped the legs and added length to it's body, exchanging what are likely bones or some other dense matter for more wing, which would need to be lighter.

It could have different stats, or it could just be a less awkward looking version of Giratina.
 
If it's only been confirmed in a movie so far it makes more sense to me to assume that this form is just what Giratina has inorder to get around. I know if I were a ghost that needed to speed off I'd get rid of my cumbersome six legs for a while.
If it is for the game then it makes sense that it would have its own item. In that case whatever its stats are its going to be fierce.
 
New Giratina form eh? I like the idea, hopefully we'll see a more offensive one, I always enjoyed using Choice Band Giratina, but with higher Att it can finally get somewhere in ubers.

Also I figured that Giratina would be the 'third' legendary for the new game, the Yellow/Crystal/Emerald equivalent of the D/P generation. Probably going to be called Opal (it fits with Diamond and Pearl, at least). Was a pretty obvious conclusion, even way before this pic came out
