, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's ''Pokémon'' franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Giratina first appeared in the video games ''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'', but gained prominence in the sister game, ''Pokémon Platinum'', which it was made the mascot of. It later appeared in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated and printed adaptations of the franchise. Giratina is featured prominently in the film '' Giratina and the Sky Warrior'', and later appears in the film ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life''. Known as the Renegade Pokémon, Giratina is one of a trio of legendary Pokémon, alongside Dialga and Palkia, that represents ''Pokémon Platinum'' and appears on its cover art. While Dialga and Palkia represent time and space, Girantina represents antimatter. In ''Platinum'', it was given a unique design called the Origin Forme, which depicts it as a floating creature that writers have described as being similar to a snake or larva. Since it appeared in the ''Pokémon'' series, Giratina has received generally positive reception. It has been featured in several forms of merchandise, including figurines, plush toys, and the ''Pokémon Trading Card Game''. ==Concept and creation== Giratina, known as the Renegade Pokémon, is one of a trio of legendary Pokémon, alongside Dialga and Palkia. Giratina has a long, platinum-colored, segmented body with six legs, and has ghostly wings with red spikes. Six rib-like yellow rings encircle its neck, and the pale yellow ornament on its head resembles a human collarbone. While in its own realm, the Distortion World, it takes on its , which differs from the "Altered Forme" ( in Japanese) it takes in the real world (in the video games it also takes on its Origin Forme when holding the Griseous Orb). It has a slightly different head with a beak like mouth, long "streamers" with spikes instead of wings, and spikes in place of legs, becoming more serpentine. It was created along with Dialga and Palkia by Arceus, though as it was banished for its violence (by Arceus) to the dimension called the Distortion World., it has been forgotten from the legends as "one whose name was never to be spoken." While Dialga and Palkia represent time and space, Girantina represents the Dimensions besides those of time and space and desolate void that exists between these planes, and the antimatter that suffuses it. Though residing within the Distortion World, it can also visit a cemetery-like ruin known as Turnback Cave, a place where the dimensional boundaries are said to be distorted, and dead Pokémon are able to enter the physical world. Giratina is capable of inter-dimensional travel, which causes it to change forms unless holding a "Griseous Orb"(Only in game). It is able to see into the normal world through mirrors and reflective objects, because they can bring to mind other dimensions. The designers of ''Pokémon Platinum'' designed Giratina's Origin Forme to be "opposite" of Dialga and Palkia as well as to make its existence "more fun, more interesting, cooler". They paid "meticulous attention" to the Origin Forme's details; the designer "redrew Giratina's image again and again" in order to make it "significantly different" and change its shape. The designers eventually decided to feature the Origin Forme on the cover of ''Platinum''. Designer Junichi Masuda envisioned concepts of "reversed world", "matter and anti-matter", and "''E'' = ''mc''2" in designing it. Its location, the Distortion World, was designed by Takeshi Kawachimaru around Giratina, with the concept as "how Giratina fits in the world". When designing its theme, Masuda "thought of the front/back, life/death" to make it cover "bipolar, opposite ideas". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giratina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
