Plates are what remains of defeated giants after being killed. If Blank Plate exists, this invalidates the theory because Regigigas also exists.
The fact that it is the wielder of the plate is a logical choice that makes no hidden sense. Indeed, the majority of plates are held by Pokémon that have the same type as their plate (in rare cases, linked to the type without wearing it).
Heatran holds Iron Plate simply because it is a Steel type and the Fire type is held by Arcanine.
Plates are mainly guarded by mounts and bosses (lords and legendaries). It is obvious and logical that a legendary wearing only the normal type has this plate because the same logic is applied to the rest of the game (I am not trying to be selective on the data to create confirmation bias, I consider the whole game unlike you).
I remind you that the theory is based on a Pokedex classification of Regigigas, which is the same word as "giant" mentioned on the plates.
There is never any dialogue that supports this, even in Japanese games.
I like to use the example of Groudon and Torterra, which have the same classification in Japanese: "continent" because it perfectly illustrates how classifications work and the limits of your discourse. It highlights the gap between your desires, interpreted selectively and extrapolated, and objective reality.
>Are Torterra and Groudon continents in the literal sense of the word?No.
>Are Torterra and Groudon the same creatures or related?No.
>Does the Pokedex classification tell a story?No, it just gives a vague idea of the Pokémon's theme or what it's reminiscent of in the real world.
Apply the same logic to Regigigas and you realize that using the same word doesn't mean much and is an overinterpretation.
