::Note also that Ho-oh is related to the more gold-coloured Brass Tower, and Lugia to the Tin Tower.  Just because Ho-oh is called to the Tin Tower by the Rainbow Wing doesn't make it Ho-oh's domain.  Originally Lugia sat atop Tin, and Ho-oh atop Brass.  There were two real towers on either side of a lake in Kyoto as well - and the Gold-leaved tower burnt down, like the Brass Tower.  It also had a statue of the Houou bird atop it.  The reason the anime get confused about two Tin Towers is because Ho-oh originally atop Brass Tower, and then moved to the Tin Tower ONLY when it was summoned there by the Rainbow Wing held by the GSC player.  The Legendary Beasts were ultimately tied to the fate of the Twin Towers and the Silver and Gold Birds who sat upon those respective towers.  Suicune happens to be the beast that is the most connected with purification, like Celebi, who was also the focus of Crystal (at least in the Japanese version), so it gets the place on the box.

::That being said, I highly believe that Giratina will be the fourth version and Opal Berlitz be the full name of the new Special protagonist.  However, that a non-Sinnoh-dex Pokémon will be the star of the version seems quite strange.  But Giratina is most likely the version mascot.  Cresselia and Amethyst fit as well with Dialga and Palkia, and regardless, it's still a non-Sinnoh-dex Pokémon.  Arceus... I just can't see an event Pokémon as the mascot, because then the event would have to be built into the game, making the event in Diamond and Pearl lose meaning because you can just trade Arceus to your Diamond or Pearl versions after getting to that point in the third game.  Plus, if the movies are any indication, Girantina will be fighting a huge war of gods in the 11th Movie, against Dialga and Palkia (and perhaps Regigigas as well), which seems to indicate his connection with the other two Dimensional Dragon Gods of Sinnoh.  I just wonder how his story will be elaborated on.  But I digress.  As long as Giratina is the mascot of the third game, it will get a name like Opal or Girasol, and thus Berlitz will be Opal Berlitz.  I doubt the use of Girasol Version, because it sounds ridiculous, and no kid will know what a Girasol is unless they are like my kid brother who's intensely into rocks and minerals.  [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Phil]] 01:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

In responce to the above query about Cresselia being an event pokemon, it's Cresselia's conection with Darkrai that get's rid of it's chances to be the third version mascot. Although never explicidly stated, Cresselia's conection with Darkrai has been greatly implied and it is further delved into in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2. Cresselia on it's own has not enough personality to carry it's own game without darkrai and as stated above, having an event pokemon in the third game would be like a kick in the face to all those who got it the hard way. [[User:Noname|Noname]] If you use the process of elimination, the only pokemon who has a serious chance of rivaling Giratina for the tital of the third game is Mesprit.
