History Anime / PokemonGiratinaAndTheSkyWarrior

From IMDB: "Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior" is the English title for the eleventh theatrical movie spin-off from the popular ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}'' TV series. The movie's basic premise centers around the existence of a "Reverse World," a kind of alternate universe designed to correct imbalances in the "Real World." Five years before the events of this movie, a research scientist named Newton Graceland apparently discovered the Reverse World and its sole resident Pokémon, [[OlympusMons Giratina]], a winged, six-legged, metallic dinosaur-like creature. Newton and his assistant [[MeaningfulName Zero]] plot to harness Giratina's power and take over the reverse world.

-->'''Zero:''' *after Newton deletes the blueprints to the Megarig* How could you..PLEASE...DON'T DISAPPEAR!!
-->'''Newton:''' Leave it be, Zero...this is how it should be. We cannot sacrifice Giratina for the sake of our research. Please understand, Zero!
-->'''Zero:''' *crying* All...All I wanted...I hate this polluted world...I just wanted to stay in the beautiful Reverse World...That's all...
* CloudCuckoolander: Newton, at least Ash and Dawn seem to think so. [[spoiler: It's heavily implied he's been floating around the Reverse World for years -- he's physically identical to himself in Zero's memories]].

** [[spoiler: Giratina was still breathing prior to Aromatherapy]], but it still contributes to the trope.
** The actual moment of the trope [[spoiler: is actually ''the reveal that Giratina is breathing'': Pikachu and Piplup react so dramatically to Giratina's fallen form that the cast assumes the worst...until Dawn notices the dragon's neck moving]].

* EldritchLocation: The Reverse World
--> '''Ash:''' ''This is some weird place...for sure.''

* {{Badass}}: Regigigas takes the cake. His awakening scene and Big Damn Heroes moment more then make up for the Nightmare Fuel of the Regis from Movie 8.

* InsufferableGenius: Newton brags about how he is a genius (if he does say so himself) and it shows in his CrowningMomentOfAwesome when he shuts down the entire Megarig. He also shows some pretty {{Badass}} skills while piloting that Airbike, avoiding attacks all with two kids along for the ride.

* UngratefulBastard: Shaymin, ironically. Shaymin is described as the "Gratitude Pokemon", yet spends the entirety of the movie completely taking for granted that Ash and co. are helping him, even going so far as to treat Ash like a ButtMonkey, despite the fact that they are under no obligation to help him whatsoever.

* DecoyProtagonist: Without dying, but who thought '''Dawn''' was the main character in a movie with a cute little fuzzy thing?

* ADayInTheLimelight: This movie seems to focus more on Dawn's relationship with Shaymin in it's land form.

* {{A Day In The Limelight}}: This movie seems to focus more on Dawn's relationship with Shaymin in it's land form.

** The actual moment of the trope [[spoiler: is actually ''the reveal that Giratina is breathing'': Pikachu and Piplup react so dramatically to Giratina's fallen form that the cast assumes the worst... until Dawn notices the dragon's neck moving]].

--> '''Ash:''' ''This is some weird place... for sure.''

* MeaningfulName: Zero... but that one speaks for itself.

* {{Badass}}: Regigigas

* CloudCuckoolander: Newton, at least Ash and Dawn seem to think so.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Don't worry, Shaymin, Giratina is not going to eat you.

--> '''Ash:''' ''This is some weird place...For sure.''

** Not to mention some beta scenes that appear in some of the Japanese trailers that don't appear in the movie.

* SplitPersonality: Shaymin in Land Forme is cowardly, rude, and ungrateful, but when it changes to Sky Forme, it becomes brave, adventurous, and headstrong, almost like it becomes an entirely different Pokemon

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Zero thinks that by destroying the real world, he's saving the Reverse World. This causes him to nearly murder the guardian of the Reverse World in the process.]]

* MeaningfulName: Zero...but that one speaks for itself.

* HeyItsThatVoice: In the dub, once Shaymin changes into its Sky Forme, it becomes obvious that Shaymin has the same voice actress as [[Anime/SonicX Tails]] during the [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]] era.
** And [[Anime/OjamajoDoremi Dorie]] in Normal Forme.
** Not to mention that the dub voice for Zero is the same guy who also voiced, [[TheAce of all people,]] [[Anime/YuGiOhGX Jaden Yuki]]!
** Giratina uses the same roar as Film/{{Mothra}}.
*** The ''Megarig'' itself emitted [[Film/GodzillaVsMegaguirus Megaguirus]]' screech..

* HarmlessFreezing: [[spoiler: Zero is frozen inside of the Mecha Giratina for an unspecified amount of time, but appears completely fine when he is recovered and doesn't seem to have been affected by the cold, this may be due to the thick suit he is wearing]]

** At one scene Brock mentions how the fjord were formed by a glacier and that there is a glacier by the flower garden. [[spoiler: That glacier becomes very important at the climax of the film]]
*** It should also be noted that Dawn mentions how cold it is. [[spoiler: She ends up freezing Zero in said glacier]]

*** And [[Anime/OjamajoDoremi Dorie]] in Normal Forme.

* Forshadowing: Happens at least twice.

* Determinator: Zero and Newton are both this in their own ways regarding the Reverse World.

Series regulars Ash, Dawn, and Brock, along with their regular Pokémon companions, get roped into all this through the intervention of a cute, grassy little Pokémon called a Shaymin, who's on its way to the "flower garden" for the "flower-bearing" ritual with other Shaymin. Shaymin can communicate telepathically so we can hear its articulated thoughts, making it one of the very few Pokémon (outside of Meowth and Mewtwo) who can actually "talk". Shaymin's connection to Giratina and the Reverse World has something to do with its ability to render toxic material harmless via some internal process. Giratina seems to need Shaymin's help. In the end, Newton, who enlists Ash and his friends to help him, finally figures out what Giratina wants.

* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Zero, he also has gold eyes too.
