Quick Arceus question

Bull

Just a pokemon fan
While I saw the avatar sprites for Diamond and Pearl for my profile in here, I saw the unknown variant of Arceus. I remember that back when the game was released in japan nobody had a clue about this thing, if it was real or not. I lost track of what happened afterwards, was it confirmed as in existance or does it not exist? Would somebody mind claryfing it for me.

What plate and what type..?

It has no Plate and no known type....

People claim that it is a filler for the ??? type that curse has but there is nothing to support this. The last I heard on this topic was that anytime anyone tried to get it to show up (by whatever unmentionable method) the game would lock up or glitch or etc.
 
i think it's the ???? type, like curse.or maybe an ghost/dark type or another duel type(of your choice?).

there is no reason for it to be the ??? type as there is nothing but curse that has that typing..... Nor is it a type combo.

The only way we'll know for sure is if Nintendo has some event to activate it, of which I highly doubt will ever happen... let's just drop it since there is no answer and all we can do is speculate.

Eggs also have the type, which means that it would be needed in the programing for type.Just wanted to point that out.Yes, it probably is ??? type.

It doesn't NEED to be programmed with an entirely new sprite nor does it really need to be even programmed into the game..... Nintendo put it there for some reason.... why.... we'll only know when Nintendo tells us.
 
Its normal with no type
nuff said
 
I don't think it was ever figured out.

It looks a lot like the bug version so I guess it was just a design that wasn't used and they simply forgot to delete it before they added his data.
 
New type and new plate in a future game, that's the new type form. when the new type plate is attatched to Arceus in a future game, it becomes that.

Hooray for unfounded opinions with holes in them!
 
Well, if you send the new form back into DP, it has to be something.

There is almost no way what I said is, in any way, true. And I know that. I'm just putting out a far-fetched possibility to put your minds at ease. Kinda like religion.
 
I remeber this topic way back then...i came to the conclusion that i think it is a sprite for the ??? type and is going to be accesible by attatching a plate only obtained through a Nintendo Event, and because of the ??? type having no Weakness or Resistence,watch out for the people who have it!

Sorry for bad typing...on psp
 
Why would it even need the image for the CURRENT game if it is for a FUTURE game?

That's like saying: Why do Ruby and Sapphire have Volt Tackle programmed into them when Pichu can only learn them on Emerald?

If it is for a future game, the game would be able to trade BACK to Diamond and Pearl.
 
Remember way back when Deoxys was discoverd? Nobody knew how to get the Speed forme (off topic: why is it spelled "Forme" anyway?), even though it is programmed into RS. So likely it will have a ??? variant in a future game. Maybe some special way to get it, since there is no programmed item in DP that turns Arceus into that, so maybe you can do that in a future game, maybe the 3rd edition, maybe a Colo/XD game, maybe something totally new.

This is just what I mean. It may be in a different game.

Nope, that's wrong... There is no plate to get it programmed into the game, so you can't get it through an event.

Speed Deoxys wasn't programmed onto Ruby/Sapphire. A better argument would be talking about how all 386 pokemon were in Ru/Sa, but you could only get 200 in those two games.
