* The Pokémon may possibly refer to {{p|Giratina}}, which in turn would explain why the myth refers to Veilstone City, as it is the closest city to the [[Turnback Cave]]. Also, because the Pokémon fled to a location beyond sight, which is possibly the [[Distortion World]]. | * The Pokémon may possibly refer to {{p|Giratina}}, which in turn would explain why the myth refers to [[Veilstone City]], as it is the closest city to the [[Turnback Cave]].

** However, Platinum's Pokédex entry places some doubt on this, as it was hinted that Giratina was trapped in the [[Distortion World]] long before the person in question came into being. | ** However, Platinum's Pokédex entry places some doubt on this, as it was hinted that Giratina was trapped in the [[Distortion World]] long before the person in question came into being. | ||

* This has some parallels with {{wp|Taoism}} and perhaps {{wp|Shinto|Shintoism}}. Creation in Taoism starts with a single energy, dividing into a duality (often referred to as {{wp|Yin and Yang}}), then into three parts, and finally into the rest of creation. Compare, for example, the Korean {{wp|Taeguk|Taeguk and Samtaeguk}} symbols, also seen in China and Japan which reflect this belief. | * This has some parallels with {{wp|Taoism}} and perhaps {{wp|Shinto|Shintoism}}.

** Similar parallels can be found in other creation myths, but not as directly. In fact, this seems to be more easily attributed to a common theme among creation myths than as a source of inspiration; several creation myths start with one being which splits or creates other beings from its body, including {{wp|Hinduism}} and {{wp|Greek mythology}}. | ** Similar parallels can be found in other creation myths, but not as directly.

*This myth describes how Sinnoh's first Pokémon, {{p|Arceus}}, also known as the ''Original One'', came to be, from the Egg that appeared in the chaos. Also, the two beings that Arceus makes are {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, creators of time and space, respectively. Arceus creates three living things as well, which are {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}, the only Pokémon which can control Dialga and Palkia. Arceus thereafter went into the [[Hall of Origin]] high above the [[Spear Pillar]], to wait for the [[Azure Flute]] to be played. | * This myth describes how Sinnoh's first Pokémon, {{p|Arceus}}, also known as the ''Original One'', came to be, from the Egg that appeared in the chaos.
