I'm gonna make a bold statement and say this was the most intense non-event moment in the entire franchise at the time of its release. Nothing from Hoenn ever came close to the feeling I got the first time I heard the battle theme.

@@NaiefThegoony True Af. Ultra necrozma is jmo literally one of the most intense things in any video game ever if you can get lost in the graphics.

I love the attention to detail: giratina not only floats down at the begining of the battle, but doesn't have a platform since he's just floating over the void
@@naveenrajieapen2520 Exactly why I mentioned it being a state. And 'A' is an article dummy, not a Preposition(or etched in your words 'proposition').🙂
I really like the subtle fact that Giratina does not have a little battleground platform below it in the Distortion world, since it is flying, and not above any land.
Giratina is really unique here especially that " The distortion world's giratina appeared " Also i forgot to add. He entrance above the screen just like in overworld cutscene not from the left side like normally pokemon appeared xD.
I never noticed the different entry direction! I knew it definitely looked different, but I couldn't place why. It's subtle details like this that add to the replay value of these classics. Every time I watch a video of a gen4 game on RUclips, I notice something different about the game.
Welcome to the Salty Spittoon. How tough are ya? How tough am I? _HOW TOUGH AM I?!_ I caught Giratina. Yeah, so? *_With a regular Poké Ball._* Uhhh....right this way, sorry to keep you waiting.
1:20 That red HP Giratina tho was Perfectly synchronized with the theme, and the Paralyze too !! As if the characters literally scream "Now its our chance !!!"
I remember the first time I fought Giratina was in in this game at like 11pm under my bed and being scared shitless that a Giratina was just gonna pop out of my wall and snatch me up into the distortion world😅.
Lets see how hard this is to capture Max health is 210 Assume we get down to 1 hp (210*3)-(1*2)=628 Lets assume we're using an ultra ball 628*2=1256×3=3768 (3 is the capture rate of giratina) 3768÷630= about 6. Assume we put it to sleep 6×2=12="a" Then, we do 1048560 / sqrt(sqrt(16711680/a)) 16711680÷12= 1392640 Sqrt(1392640)= about 1180 Sqrt 1180= about 34 1048560÷34= about 30523 If the number is less than a randomly generated number between 0 and 650000, you get a single shake. It has to pass 4 times to succeed. Basically, at 1 Hp when asleep and using an ultra ball, you still only have a 5% chance of catching.
Thank you for uploading this. I wanted to listen to Giratina's battle theme and none of the videos seemed to have the version I had heard while playing.
Man, I remember running through *every* pokeball I had when I was a kid. I got verrrrry lucky with a great ball before only having the master ball left.
I always enjoyed this particular capture battle, even if I had to repeat it a few times. My strategy was pretty simple: First, whittle it down to red very carefully (duh). Second, paralyze it (more reliable than sleep to me). Three, use Staraptor-immune to the ghost moves, switches into Shadow Force, and Intimidate lowers ATK (so many people don’t realize how much easier lowering stats makes catching legendaries). Four, have a LOT of Dusk Balls on hand. And five-REALLY important here-count off the PP of Giratina’s attacks (most of my do-overs are because it KO’s itself via Struggle). Oh, and three-point-five, use other stat-lowering moves if possible, preferably ones that lower by two points (e.g. Scary Face), so you only need to use said move three times instead of six.
It's best to put it to sleep and confuse it cuz if it uses all of its moves The worst case .. is Struggle .. The last resort move but with heavy recoil
You had 30 turns (exactly due to the limited amount of PP for most of it's moves and this is without status effects) to try and catch Giratina at this point before it starts to struggle. Well done for hanging in there, it only took you 12 Dusk Balls to do the job. ;) Of course you can try and obtain Giratina again later on in the game, albeit at a higher level (70), but it's move set is changed and should give you a few more opportunities at capture.
@@GoldRichness I was boutta say. I caught giratina today and if I had the chance to get it at level 70 later on I would've ended him right there in the distortion realm
Gen 4 was the best . Gen 6 to 8 is garbage compared to this . I used to help my little brother when he had problems battling trainers . I remember when I had my first gameboy color with Pokemon yellow . Pokemon has come a long way with gen 3 and 4 being my favorite of all time hands down. The music just trying to get to giratina was so relaxing and soothing . What joy , we can never buy time guys so always enjoy the moment
Nah, honestly the Masterball just lets you make one catching battle easier. I like the challenge so these days I try to never use them. There's very doable ways to catch every legendary in every game without the Masterball.
Grinata is an awesome pokemon of the darkness, i know Dercray is cool and really scary but nothing beats a devil pokemon banished by Arsius, the God of all mons. Grinata even rivalled the power of both Palcya and Dyalja combined, I bet Grinata can even beat Rezhirem and Zeekrum and even Ibeltel and Zernias or heck, even the ultimate Cayruwem or even MiiYouTwo and Miga Reiqwazah. This is all Sapphire Btw. Don't be Ruby to me, this is all my Opinion
See, the thing that i like about pokemon is that you can catch anything. I caught Giratina and now im treating it like my child and feeding it poffins. Also, nice Empoleon!
I rememberwhen pokemon platinum was only released in japan and had downloaded the jp rom on a R4 card. Did this one together with a couple of friends , one epic moment that was.
I have my Palkia and Dialga from this game from when I was like 9 years old, but I have no idea wtf happened to my Giratina. The last trace I’ve seen of it was in Battle Revolution
When this game came out I was a Senior in high school. Imagine how much I had to hide the fact that I was still into Pokémon …everyone was into 50 cent , mike jones and all that crap…don’t get me wrong they slapped but not as hard as a Pokémon theme and game.
It took a while for you to upload this.. I bet you had a hard time to catch it and had to reset a few times right? One day gap after you beat Cyrus, wow!! That is unexpected..
Well because of how Platinum went there should have been a remake with Cyrus' return. Like how Ghetsis returned in Black/White 2. Or even if Team Galactic returned but Cyrus didn't. Like how Team Rocket returned in HeartGold/SoulSilver. I don't know how Diamond/Pearl ended game-wise so I couldn't exactly mention them. I have Platinum but didn't finish it at all.
From Dorkly: Trainer: Look professor, I captured a Giratina! Professor Eastwood: What’s a Giratina? Professor Oak: Oh, the ruler of the distortion world. He’s pretty much like the pokemon equivalent of Satan.
So basically it takes 12 Dusk balls to Capture a Giratina, on a Stupidly low amount of HP and With a Negative status that doesn't damage him, geez, that's quite troublesome

@@kyohan8432 you can after clear the game
the themesong for giratina in this game is amazing and giratina is basically a demon dragon from hell
I remember the first time I fought Giratina was in in this game at like 11pm under my bed and being scared shitless that a Giratina was just gonna pop out of my wall and snatch me up into the distortion world😅.
Lets see how hard this is to capture
Max health is 210
Assume we get down to 1 hp
(210*3)-(1*2)=628
Lets assume we're using an ultra ball
628*2=1256×3=3768
(3 is the capture rate of giratina)
3768÷630= about 6.
Assume we put it to sleep
6×2=12="a"
Then, we do
1048560 / sqrt(sqrt(16711680/a))
16711680÷12= 1392640
Sqrt(1392640)= about 1180
Sqrt 1180= about 34
1048560÷34= about 30523
If the number is less than a randomly generated number between 0 and 650000, you get a single shake. It has to pass 4 times to succeed.
Basically, at 1 Hp when asleep and using an ultra ball, you still only have a 5% chance of catching.
But can you do that in 0.5x A presses?
I simply used master ball
How can you calculate the catching percentage
i caught it at like 15 hp without status effects with like 4 great balls 😳
I use master ball because giritina pp was out and 1 hp left
Oh my God I just realized that Giratina's looking directly at us
I remember catching Giratina here on my first try using a Quickball 😅😂🤣
Jumpscare, horrifying theme, ominous and intense atmosphere, mirror dimension bordering on hell...
Y'know, for kids.
Yes, for kids. This is tame.
Have you even seen the final boss to Kirby's Dream Land 3?
@@IoIxD Yeah. That's spooky too.
@@andromedanangel6042 Honestly that's twice as horrifying as this. There are even darker things in the Pokemon universe itself then this.
@Beefenne LiBre My point exactly. This is creepy, but storylines for Pokemon have gotten much darker then this.
Ugh shut up
the start of the theme sounds like a bunch of ghosts screaming "nooooooo" as they're getting dragged down.
