** Ramanas Park allows you to fight legendaries and catch them...except for Giratina. Fighting and beating the shadowy '''level 100''' Origin Forme Giratina will get you the Griseous Orb.

** The entirety of the Mt Coronet/Distortion World confrontation really. Cyrus drags Dialga and Palkia out, making them create a new universe with the power of the Red Chain and then Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit show up to try and restore balance. [[TemptingFate Cyrus gloats about how pathetic they are for trying to stop him]], and [[OhCrap then Giratina appears]]. An enraged Giratina, who can only be described as a dragon made out of Antimatter, then proceeds to drag him into the Distortion World and you and Cynthia then follow him. Once you get past the terrifying awesomeness that is the Distortion World you take out Cyrus once and for all and quell Giratina's fury by beating or catching him. Once you've done all that it makes the E4 look a bit boring.

** In most in-game Double Battles, you and your partner can only use three Pokemon each. Not in this one. You and your rival can both use all of your Pokemon, but Mars and Jupiter can't. It's a 12 v 6 in your favour. For the only time ever in Pokemon, TheComputerIsACheatingBastard is inverted, giving you a massive advantage in the single most important Double Battle in the series.

* Cynthia pretty much telling Cyrus in no uncertain terms to GetOut while they're in the Distortion World is pretty gutsy. Also the fact that she actually ''partakes'' in a lot of the plot of the Gen 4 Sinnoh games instead of just the final battle is pretty cool too.

** The Distortion World itself is a CMOA for the Nintendo DS. The gravity alterations would just not have been possible on any previous handheld console. Game Freak really like testing what they can do with the upgraded graphics of each new console, and in this case they produced something awesome.



** Earlier on, in your first encounter with Team Galactic, they're threatening Rowan. First he ignores them to ask how your Pokedex is going, and then starts ''lecturing'' the grunts for their rudeness, capping it all off by ''insulting their uniforms''.

* Give Team Galactic some credit. Right up until the end, they were winning. They successfully captured ''five'' legendary Pokemon with little interference (the player consistently showing up just a little too late), and only lost in the end because of something nobody could have seen coming under the circumstances. It took the Pokemon equivalent of [[GodzillaThreshold the Devil]] showing up to stop them.

* Throughout ''Pokémon Platinum'', the International Police agent Looker comes across as somewhat inept, always showing up just a little too late to be of any use against Team Galactic. Then you get to the end of Stark Mountain, and Charon's about to steal the Magma Stone. Suddenly, a Croagunk comes out of nowhere to stop him, and it turns out that Looker was there all along on a stakeout, [[LatexPerfection disguised as]] [[MobileShrubbery a rock]]. Guess he's not so incompetent, after all.
** Not to mention that he was staking-out in that heavy rock costume all that time ''in a freaking volcano.'' I'm sure even the regularly dressed people were sweating profusely.
