And here, by the same artist, we have a fakemon which represents God. Much of the same - this fakemon is an entirely literal interpretation of the deity, sporting angelic wings and a halo. Game Freak’s own take on God, Arceus, follows a different mentality much like the one behind Giratina - while maintaining rather easy-to-catch holy symbolism, Arceus is nevertheless a character rather than an homage. Arceus’s halo is on its waist, and the holy significance of the Pokémon extends even into gameplay - not content on simply having a move with a holy-sounding name, Arceus can become each separate Pokémon type at will, cementing its status as the god of its universe.
