201

The Reverse World, where Giratina lives, is a beautiful and rule-breaking mirror of the Pokémon world. But the Reverse World takes in all of the real world's pollution, saving the real world from air pollution. As a result of the events in The Rise of Darkrai, dark, poisonous clouds have appeared and overlaid the Reverse World. Giratina becomes enraged and lures Dialga, which it holds responsible for the chaos, into its world. Shaymin is inadvertently drawn to the Reverse World, as well. Narrowly avoiding Giratina and Dialga's attacks, it uses Seed Flare to escape back to the real world; this allows Dialga to seal Giratina in the Reverse World.

Shaymin appears before Ash and his friends. It is capable of telepathy, and has a habitual behavior called "Flower Carrying" (Japanese: 花はこび). It also has the power to transform from its original Land Forme, to an embodiment of the clear sky - Sky Forme. This transformation is only made possible through exposure to a special pollen; Shaymin is able to transform upon touching the Glacidea Flower carried by Leila. Shaymin, fearing for its life after its encounter with Giratina, journeys with the group to a beautiful, flower-filled place called Glacidea.

Another character, Mugen, who owns a Shieldon and is a talented scholar specializing in study of the Reverse World, has wound himself into the plot. He appears beneficial to Ash and his friends. However, his former assistant, Zero, appears as the main villain in the film. He seeks the power of Giratina to space-travel, which will allow him to take over the Reverse World. In order to unleash Giratina, he plots to force Shaymin to use Seed Flare once more. He owns a Magnezone, Magneton, many Magnemite and a robotic maid named Infi, who controls his ship named the Megaliba.

The final battle has Ash, Giratina and Shaymin face Zero. Meanwhile, Zero's actions have caused a giant glacier in the Real World to start moving, which spells imminent danger to a nearby town. Dawn and Brock attempt to use their Pokémon to slow the glacier down, but their efforts do not prove successful as Regigigas appears and announces that they're too weak. It then commands a herd of Mamoswine to help stop the glacier.

Reception

It took second place in the Japanese box office from its release during July 19-20, where 982,000 people spending ¥1,018,770,000 (US $9,463,400) and was beaten by Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, which 1,251,107 people spent ¥1,575,820,000 (about $14,638,000) to see.

It is tracking at 89.8% of the box office performance of the last year's Pokémon film, The Rise of Darkrai (Japanese Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai), which eventually earned a franchise record of ¥5.02 billion (US $47 million).

Trivia

  • This is the first movie to be a sequel of a previous movie. Although Mewtwo Returns is a sequel to Mewtwo Strikes Back, it is an anime special rather than a Pokémon movie.
  • The events of this movie happen between the episodes Arriving in Style and DP087, and premiered in Japan between those episodes.
  • The staff went to three locations in Norway to form a basis for the movie's setting - Sognefjorden (the second largest Fjord in the world), Jostedalsbreen (the largest glacier in Europe), and Bergen (the second largest city in Norway).
  • This movie marks the second time when a legendary Pokémon from a previous movie reappears. The only other time was in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, where Mew made a second appearance after Mewtwo Strikes Back. It was, however, a different Mew, whereas the Dialga in this movie is the same one that battled with Palkia over Alamos Town in The Rise of Darkrai.
    • This is also the first Pokémon movie where a legendary Pokémon reappears immediately after the previous film.
  • The ending theme song for the movie is ONE by Crystal Kay.
  • Origin Forme Giratina and Sky Forme Shaymin debuted in this movie prior to their game debut in Pokémon Platinum.
  • Palkia doesn't have a role in the movie despite it being on the first movie poster. It only makes a cameo in a flashback. This marks the second time that a Pokémon appear on the posters even though they don't actually appear in the movie itself, the first being in Jirachi: Wish Maker (one of whose posters showed Treecko and Mudkip, which did not play a role in the film). The poster for the non-Japanese release of Mewtwo Strikes Back also showed several unused Pokémon in stock poses.
  • This movie marks the first time that Brock's family and Dawn's mother appear in a movie, and the first time Delia appears in a movie since Spell of the Unown.
  • The mother and girl that were reading the legend of Rota in the beginning of Lucario and the Mystery of Mew and were seen buying a cotton candy and running away from Darkrai in The Rise of Darkrai are seen again making a cameo in this movie.
  • Lucas and Brendan make a cameo in the opening of the movie, battling with Magmortar and Rhyperior, respectively. This may reference the meeting of their female counterparts, who battled in the finals of the Wallace Cup.
