Differences from the games

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: More Details needed

Although the mini-series is more faithful to the games than the main anime, there are still some differences, mainly to enhance the plot or due to time constraints.

• Looker, who originally did not debut until Pokémon Platinum, has his role extended in this series.
• Lance's role in the Lake of Rage incident is expanded, unlike in the games, where the narrative focuses on the player.
• In the games, Lance and Ethan battle the wild Electrode powering the generator, causing them to faint or capture them. In The Lake of Rage, they instead release them.
  • Also, there are twelve Electrode powering the generator as opposed to only six in the games.
• Petrel shows up in the generator room instead of Ariana like in the games.
• Unlike in the games, neither the player nor Maxie stops Archie in The Cavern.
• Unlike in the games, the player does not arrive at the Spear Pillar to stop Cyrus in The New World.
• After Giratina drags Cyrus into the Distortion World, it doesn't leave a portal behind like in the games.
• Looker does not arrest Charon at Stark Mountain. Instead, Charon escapes with help from two Team Galactic Grunts.
• Iris is present when N's Castle is summoned instead of the player character, and it is summoned by the Seven Sages instead of N. The subsequent confrontation between the Unova Gym Leaders and the Seven Sages takes place outside the castle instead of inside, and an army of Team Plasma Grunts participates in the battle.
• The Shadow Triad is not present for Team Plasma's attack on Opelucid City to capture the DNA Splicers. Instead, the attack is led by Zinzolin and carried out by many Team Plasma Grunts.
• Unlike in the games, Ghetsis fuses Kyurem with N's Reshiram without the player character present, and when the player character does arrive, it is Hilbert with his Zekrom.
