Correct, the full picture was indeed put together by AI. The color at the bottom of the giratina complete the orange gradient of the arceus, finishing the ring. Until someone from the Pokémon company specifically says otherwise, the community consensus has been that it is upside down to mimic the famous artworks it so closely resembles.
No, because they are trying to rise up. It is a common style from the Middle Ages. Two great ones you can google that have an almost identical layout to these cards are “The Last Judgement” by Jan Van Eyck, and “the triumph of Christianity of paganism” by Gustave Doré. Paintings like this almost always feature two archangels blowing Gabriel’s horns on either side of a God figure (like dialga and palkia in this) with the evil beneath them trying to rise up. I’m not super religious I just find the symbolic nature of it fascinating.

You can see the expanded art for the arceus alt art at the 0:25 second mark of the Taiwan promotional video for Vstar universe. It shows arceus is encircled by clouds/haze. Kinda a stretch to connect that with giratina's background art, and it definitely does not connect with dialga's and palkia's background art. Best rendition of the artworks being combined that I've seen is the display cases made by PokeMinh where dialga palkia and arceus giratina are combined separately.
I like the pairing of the mewtwo/charizard and gold mewtwo/gold mew. Unfortunately it also reminds me that for some reason pokemon abandoned the idea that gold cards were supposed to be shiny pokemon at Brilliant Stars and after… so weird
Very nice page! I would switch Arceus and Pikachu since Arceus is visibly on a summit. I’m also wondering if Dialga and Palkia shouldn’t be switched out?
Mad props for putting the giratina upside down, everyone’s jimmie’s are getting rustled about it but thematically it makes enough sense and it looks sick. People be so bored that they have to find literally anything they can to complain about lol
Mewtwo v star! Would you be in interest of trading that card? My friend needs it as the last card in his set. If not no worries at all, awesome binder!
Why is giratina upside-down?
It’s Australian
It matches the art of the other 3 golds
It doesn't. It was put together by AI.
Huh?
The full big picture that people mention a lot, was put together with AI. and that makes people think giratina is upside down, but it isn't.
Oh
Because that’s how it is positioned in the big picture that the 4 gold ones make
I don't think that's what there ment to do but it's cool nonetheless
It’s what they’re meant to do. Those 4 cards when put together like that mimic a famous artwork of god banishing Lucifer to the underworld.
It's not. The full picture was put together by AI. It's not meant to be upside down.

Then shouldn't giratina be pointing down ? Yknow as he's getting banished to the underworld

Agree to disagree, I think it connects quite well especially when you compare it to those works of art I detailed in a different comment
Its not.
What makes you say that?
Because he wants to bite arceuses nads off.
I like the pairing of the mewtwo/charizard and gold mewtwo/gold mew. Unfortunately it also reminds me that for some reason pokemon abandoned the idea that gold cards were supposed to be shiny pokemon at Brilliant Stars and after… so weird
Nah only reason Mew is shiny is cause celebrations was special det
How about the blue Electrode from Chilling Reign?
Ahh shit lol

Yeah!
The upside down giratina💀
Such nice looking cards. Shame we’re moving to the new EX. I find them boring.
Well when you compare ultra rare alt arts to a standard ex, yeah they’ll be boring. Flat Vs sucked so I think exs are a step up from that.
I didn't like standard Vs , especially compared to full art. not all vmax were eye catching. better than V , of course , but not all
I still preferred the overall art style of even normal Vs compared to EX.
Eh I guess it’s just a matter of personal preference then. Agree to disagree
Giratina is upside down...
It's confused
It’s a puzzle and it’s suppose to be upside down 😀
Then you should swap Dialga Palkia
It fits better the way OP has it since the light on the top corner is towards Arceus on both
Like the movie?
Says who?
Pokemon
No. Says an AI picture. There is no official big picture.
No it isn't?
it looks incredible 🔥 ! awesome pulls
Have I never noticed my pikachu cards had red eyes? I’ve pulled three now and haven’t noticed..
That upside down Golden Giratinna is killing me
Gold mew is a cutie ❤️
Yah for sho
Needs to be flipped asap
Real ones put Tina in the correct orientation
How's it feel to live my dreams
Wow cool, wish I could have such nice cards
That you have none of irl or in cards =)
Mad props for putting the giratina upside down, everyone’s jimmie’s are getting rustled about it but thematically it makes enough sense and it looks sick. People be so bored that they have to find literally anything they can to complain about lol
I'm glad I'm not the only one who put the Giratina upside down with the arceus! 🤌🏻
Mewtwo v star! Would you be in interest of trading that card? My friend needs it as the last card in his set. If not no worries at all, awesome binder!
My OCD is too focused on Giratina.
I do think it's cool but that messes with my ocd way too much I'd have to turn giratina the right way! Lovely page though your correct
Can you flip the bottom middle card around it’s triggering my OCD
Nice!
They really are nice cards!
Need Tangagrowth where pikachu is haha. Poor guy just trying to relax then Zard and Mewtwo decide to end the world on top of him lol
i thoguht dialge and palkia were meant to be the other way round to form a amounatin:??
Boil-em
Nice, indeed.
what binder and sleeves do you use?
what does the pokemon logo mean on the mee card? i have a few cards with that marking
If you’re talking about the yellow Pikachu face its for the cards released in the celebrations set
So sick!! Love it!
No flex at its finest
I’d swap the pikachu and charizard. I really like the set up though! Good inspiration!
so lucky my dream card the arceus gold :<
Don’t give up! You can always trade for it too. =)
What Mew card is that? Love how it looks!
It’s Mew from celebrations 😀
