Is the pattern on the floor when you fight Arceus the same as the pattern in the Sinjoh Ruins cutscene?

[@Polomance862]

Interesting fun to see that Arceus is changed from being the god, but being either an avatar or a sliver of power in form of a Pokemon.

[@TheNamelessOne888]

Something similar happened with the Creation Trio. Origin Dialga and Palkia now have the same status as Arceus in the original Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and Arceus now has a true form that transcends time and space altogether.

This is it. At long last, the true battle against the Lord himself. It's clearly a test, for Arceus is all-powerful, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, he exists and will always exist, he wasn't created, he generated himself, he was there since even before the beginning, when everything was just a black void, he was there, all-powerful, almighty, the Original One. He will always be, he will never die, for the Lord is and will always be. He created Dialga and Palkia as embodiments of his eternity and transcendence, Giratina as the embodiment of his incomprehensible being, the Lake trio as the embodiment of his omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence. Long live the one true God of pokémon, the Yahweh of this amazing multiverse that we love so much.

[@azure8935]

@@did_you_know496 Bottom line if I read that correctly; Using canon power in a game isn't balanced, every damn Pokemon game would consist of Arceus avatars online. What fun would Pokemon be if each fight was only 1 second or a stalemate and the cause of it was either Arceus erasing your Pokemon from existence or Dialga literally just breathing and reverting most meta Pokemon to eggs with it's time hax? It's like that in every game (and you can't give me that stats aren't in every game BS when it's literally the veins and sinew of a game), I could legit give a ton of examples in which a game is balanced out and derailing from canon power scaling so it's not unfair

[@thefirstguyjaek255]

This battle was wild as fuck. Just beat it. Felt like I was playing Dark Souls with all the dodging 😂

[@tomnorton4277]

The detail of Arceus using biblical terms like "thou hast" is a great touch. The people who write the Pokemon franchise normally try to avoid making obvious references to religion, even with Arceus and Giratina who are as close to God and Satan as Pokemon will ever get. Having Arceus speak in that distinctive way, on top of stating "I bestow upon thee a PART of myself" to hint that we've only witnessed a fraction of this entity's true power, really sells that you're face to face with the literal god of the Pokemon universe.
