#palkia origin form

[coindraws]

This started out as Giratina only but then I told myself let’s draw everyone in their origin forms and add Arceus - oh and what about that Arceus event in HeartGold/SoulSilver, there was a cool pattern...

What was your thought when Kamado exiled Akari off of assumptions and suspicions without solid evidence?

Hello! We just came across your blog. After scrolling through it to make sure We didn't request one that had already been made (excellent work on them all, by the way), may We request Origin Form Palkia? Thank you, take your time, and happy new year!

is Palkia from Pokémon Pearl a man? I mean, their origin form in PL:A is not bipedal, but their modern form is, but the Almighty Sinnoh statue is supposed to be them fused with quadrepedal Dialga! and to make matters worse, those things on their back look very feather-like

✅️ featherless

✅️ biped

Palkia from Pokémon Pearl is a Man!

Dragon type: Palkia Origin form.

[sugimoriedits]

Okay so THIS, THESEEE are alternate Palkia/Dialga origin formes.

The official ones are just like??? They're something alright. But my least favourite thing about them is how far they stray from what was already established in Giratina's origin form. They're massive, hyperdetailed horse things that look more like Arceus fusion formes than anything. So, I want you to picture a world were Dialga and Palkia's origin formes were released alongside Giratina's back in 2009.

Giratina's origin form is serpentine, possibly snakelike, but ultimately a strange, mysterious creature as opposed to a typical animal. Origin Palkia and Dialga continue this trend, being based on an oyster and a snail respectively.

Most people are confused by Palkia's typing upon seeing its altered forme, but its origin forme makes things clearer. It better resembles an oyster, with its wings and torso extended into a clam shape and a pearl in its center, signifying the center of the universe. Being an oyster is a metaphor for spatiality, as it wraps itself around all that is known. Its fins and neck broaden to resemble the wings of a rocket ship, which is also a nod to the spatial element of this pokemon.

On the other hand, Dialga has elements of the scaly-foot snail (a snail which develops defensive scales over its skin like metal armor). Being a snail is a metaphor for time slowing down and everlasting wisdom. Its back legs are replaced by said scales, albeit more elegant and cape-like. Details on its chest, sail and head resemble a snail shell, with a large diamond placed on each side of its head signifying its intelligence. Its sail, head, top horns and bib make a total of twelve points to match the twelve points of a clock, while its two large front legs point at the edges and resemble the hands of a clock.

Both formes fit right in with Origin Giratina and the three live happily ever after.

ive complained about legends arceus not being as lore-filled when it comes to arceus itself as i would've liked but the line about giratina being arceus' unwanted child, the arceus we know of is only a fragment of the real thing and we still don't know who or what arceus is and, and this is more to do with d/p/pt than pla, but the fact that you can hear the azure flute and hall of origin on the title screen of those games, giving arceus a constant presence even if it's not obtainable without hacking, all make me fucking insane
