What is that 'thing' is in the middle of Arceus body?

All it is is a thing to change color so you can see what plate arceus is holding.

1. It's an almighty divine accessory that enables Arceus to be awesome.
2. He has low self-esteem and uses it to draw people's eyes away from his face.

That's all I got.

I dont know.
It´s pokedex entry says that it created the universe with its 1,000 arms, so I think that this weird thing maybe extends itself to make the 1,000 arms.

No its described in mythology to have shaped the universe with 1000 arms. I think that early humans were supusticious (sp?) and just gave that ring thing the name of '1000 arms' if you get what I mean. So it was just seen that way long ago but it isn't actually 1000 arms.

1. If this theory is true, then you will understand why there is only one of them.
2. Just an excuse for Tajri to laugh at this whole thread we made about it.

I think it's a....thing to absorbs energy from the plates.

plus it would look boring without it.

I imagine it's a kind of harnes that alows it to restrain and focus its powers, also where plates a fitted.

It must be really hard getting through doors. Maybe that is why it's an event to see him!

My guess is that it's a symbol from a religion or myth that PROBABLY means something along the lines of 'creation' or 'beginning', seeing how a lot of pokemon are based around real life myth and religion of all sorts. Just my guess.

Arceus' ring could be a depiction of the wheel of life that appears in various religions, particularly the Hindu dharmachakra.

I'm clueless ♥
If Higurashi has thought me anything,it has something to do with time,or space.
Most likely connected to it's powers,or maybe it's just symbolic.

Maybe Arceus like donuts..

to be exact, Krispy Kreme donuts!!!

So he carries one around its abdomin all the dang time.



I like BynineB's explanation better than mine.

Higurashi is a very good anime series....w8, we're on the wrong forums!!!....oh well, it does explain something about time and space...and yes, i really think the four green orbs in arceus' arc are as follows: time, space, reverse and origin, remember how the movie arceus used to have four special moves?...roar of time=time, spacial rend=space, shadow force=reverse, judgement=origin...
 
It probably represents the origin of Pokemon in some spacial way. Probably in some Poke-history books in Canalave City...

Or it just stores it's powers. :/ Who knows? It could just be a part of it's body that the designers decided to put in there to make it look more "mysterious" and "legendary" to appeal to kids. ^^
