Why does Giratina represent antimatter?
Giratina is supposed to represent antimatter but in just about every single articile I read about the spacetime continuum, or jsut spacetime in general, there was not a single mention of antimmater anywhere. Dialga and Palkia is supposed to represent time and sapce so where would that leave Giratina?
There was a theory that Giratina actually represents gravity but that was just it, a theory. So to avoid this being a discussion or theory question, was it ever explained anywhere as to why Giratina represents antimatter? Or is this just another one of the things about Pokemon taht doesn’t make sense and gamefreak just left it to speculation?
Don’t bother putting in your own theory as an answer. I just want to know if the franchise itself ever gave an explanation or not. Just give a link where it is officially said why Giratina represents antimatter and if there is none, just mention that it is left to speculation
Also, I know about Giratina where it was mentioned that it is a violent creature so count that out

Yes, there is official confirmation that it represents, or atleast is inspired by antimatter.
One of Platinum’s directors, Takeshi Kawachimaru, confirmed in an interview with G4 that Giratina was inspired by antimatter. An excerpt fromthe interview
Mr. Masuda came to me and explained the original concept for the Pokemon Giratina. He mentioned anti-matter as something – it’s there, but it’s something you can’t see. Mr. Masuda gave me a lot of key concepts to design around – matter, antimatter, Einstein’s theory of relativity. I was the one that had to make those concepts a realization in a Pokemon game – both visually and implementing certain tricks into the gameplay to give the player a sense of bipolarity.
As for thewhyof Giratina representing antimatter, that’s because Arceus, after creating the Pokemon world, created three Pokemon to control different things. Dialga controls Time, Palkia Space . . . so then, why do we need on to control antimatter?Probably because, knowing the Pokemon world, otherwise an antimatter Pokemon would be born and destroy everything. Giratina keeps antimatter in check, most likely.
