History YMMV / PokemonHeroes

* AllThereIsToKnowAboutTheCryingGame: If this movie is going to be discussed, then odds are it will mostly be about [[spoiler:Latios' death or Ash getting kissed]].

** The zombie fossil Pokémon; blank-eyed {{Super Persistent Predator}}s that, according to the dub at least, belonged to an evil Trainer in life and attacked innocent people at his or her command. The sight of Aerodactyl stalking Ash from a distance as he's paddling a gondola in particularly creepy, and Kabutops came frighteningly close to [[WouldHurtAChild skewering him]] on one of its scythe blades.

* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** While this status to the [[OlympusMons Legendary Pokémon]] of the films is to be expected, Latias takes special mention for being rather fondly remembered by most people who saw the movie, thanks to a combination of her personality, the fair amount of [[InterspeciesRomance Interspecies]] [[ShipTease Ship Tease]] she has with Ash, and becoming a [[TheWoobie woobie]] over the course of the movie.
** Though to a lesser extent (due to how they -mainly Oakley- played a part in [[spoiler:Latios' demise]]), Annie and Oakley have their share of fans for their competence, choices of Pokémon (Espeon and Ariados), acrobatics skills, technology and designs.

** [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Fifteen years later]], Galeem renders [[spoiler:Latios' sacrifice]] in vain.

** In PokemonSuperMysteryDungeon, we see both the Latios and Latias of that universe [[TakenForGranite killed off]] and unable to protect each other from harm.

* MostAnnoyingSound: In English, the cooing/screeching of the Eon Duo is one of the most strident things to assail your ears. It's ''much'' more downplayed and tolerable in the Japanese version.

* EvilIsSexy: Annie and Oakley, with their midriff-baring outfits and slim figures.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: While not as highly regarded as [[Anime/{{Pokemon 3}} the third movie]] or the original Japanese of [[Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie the first]], this is still regarded as one of the better movies of the original series, and at least often viewed as a good bit more enjoyable than its [[Anime/Pokemon4Ever immediate predecessor]] (though how negatively the [[CutAndPasteTranslation heavy editing]] of the dub affects that enjoyability is debated).
* TheWoobie:
** Latias. She's beaten up by Espeon, Ariados and Aerodactyl, nearly drowned, and [[spoiler:loses her brother]] in less than twelve hours.
** Latios, too. He gets curbstomped by the aforementioned Pokémon to protect his sister, is put through ColdBloodedTorture by Annie and Oakley to power a superweapon, and [[spoiler:ends up dying to protect Alto Mare.]]

* {{Narm}}: Near the end, when Ash and Bianca call out to Latias and Latios, respectively, and Pikachu calls out to them as well. Since [[PokemonSpeak he can only say his own name]], it sounds like an RockyRollCall.
