Line 278:
* While Arceus is the ''[[Pokémon]]'' equivalent of [[God]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|Primal Dialga]] , the {{spoiler|(fake)}} [[Big Bad]] of the second ''Pokemon Mystery Dungeon'' game (who looks like an evil Dialga with a black body and red stripes instead of a blue body and green stripes) may actually be the series' equivalent of the Devil. Giratina and Darkrai are popular candidates for the title as well, though they are both [[Dark Is Not Evil|not outright evil.]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|Occasionally played straight]] with the latter however.
** Giratina definitely fits the role of Satan on a cosmic level: it's a literal god/[[Eldritch Abomination]] that was banished for its aggressive tendencies(in particular, [[Super OCD|its obsession with balance]]) by what is implied to be the aformentioned Arceus. While [[Satan Is Good|not evil]](it prevents [[Omnicidal Maniac|Cyrus]] from achieving [[A God Am I|An Arceus Am I]]), it's a fearesome opponent that has the potential of threatning the world. One could say he's more Hades, keeper of the Underworld, than Satan.
** Perhaps the closest thing to the Devil the franchise has as far as imagery and [[Complete Monster|pure evil]] goes? ''Ghetsis Harmonia'', the human [[Big Bad]] of the fifth generation. [[Horned Hairdo|His hair is shaped like horns going out to the side]], his [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|eyes are red]], and his second outfit is a [[Black Cloak]]. He's also fixated on "capturing the minds, hearts, and souls of others", and his battle theme even sounds like a [[Dark Reprise]] of Arceus'. The opening theme during the "Episode N" arc in the anime even has a moment where Ghetsis throws his cape back against a red, fiery backdrop in a very Devil-like fashion. This all seems to suggest that he is the Devil made flesh, and that any world ruled by him would be [[Hell on Earth]].
*** For extra [[Fridge Brilliance]], Satan's level of Hell in ''Dante's Inferno'' is frigid and layered in ice. What Pokemon does Ghetsis take control of in the sequel games to unleash upon the entire region? ''Kyurem'', an ''ice'' type.
**** And for some more extra [[Fridge Brilliance]] ''and'' [[Fridge Horror]], some Biblical Scholars believe that the concept of [[The Antichrist]] would have a misshapen or scarred right side, including his right eye and right hand. Not only does Ghetsis match that description, but he also has the deceptive charisma to sway people into following him and his alleged cause as well as the desire for world domination that are also primary Antichrist qualities. So Ghetsis is the Pokemon Worlds' Satan ''and'' [[The Antichrist]], with N being the false idol he's made for everyone to worship in service to his devilish agenda.
