Line #1 YMMV/PokemonGiratinaAndTheSkyWarrior


1	* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Given the sheer amount of trauma poor Shaymin gets put through at the start of the movie, including getting caught up in Giratina and Dialga's grudge-match, being pulled into the Reverse World, and left helplessly flailing in a river, you have to wonder if its {{Jerkass}} behavior is Shaymin's way of coping.
2	* AmericansHateTingle: In Japan, Shaymin is considered one of the best characters in the movie. However, America's point-of-view of it (namely, a [[{{Jerkass}} smug, selfish and cocky brat]]) is less than admiring.
3	* CreepyAwesome: Giratina, the [[GiantFlyer giant]], [[SatanicArchetype satanic]] {{Dracolich}} that [[SatanIsGood helps defeat Zero.]]
4	* DracoInLeatherPants: Zero's one of the few movie antagonists to get much in the way of a sympathetic backstory, but some fans use it as an excuse for all his actions, up to and including attempting to destroy the world from the Reverse World.
5	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Many fans agree that Regigigas has one of the best scenes in the movie. It's very deep, imposing, and awesome cry helps.
6	* FashionVictimVillain: No-one would hold it against you if, upon looking at Zero's design and that of his ridiculous jumpsuit, you thought it was someone's Giratina ''[[MoeAnthropomorphism gijinka]]'' fanart ripped from Website/DeviantArt.
7	* HilariousInHindsight: After accusations from MoralGuardians that Pokemon encourages children to worship the devil, there's some irony to be had in Ash and friends befriending [[CommonKnowledge (what's generally assumed to be)]] the Pokemon equivalent to Satan.
8	* JerkassWoobie: Shaymin is entitled and self-centered, but it gets put through the ringer with the amount of traumatic situations it goes through.
9	* NightmareFuel:
10	** Do not piss off Giratina, for it will stalk you...and then drag you into its twisted screwed up world and try to kill you.
11	** In the manga version, it is implied that [[spoiler:Zero dies when the Mecha Giratina is frozen in the glacier; becomes kind of a TearJerker when you realized Newton has disappeared after Ash returns from the reverse world...]]
12	** The pictures of the town getting crushed by the glacier.
13	** The Reverse World itself is this. Breaking something there causes far greater destruction in the real world, to the point that popping a bubble in the Reverse World causes a small explosion in the corresponding location. Breaking some ice pillars caused part of a glacier to break off and nearly destroy a town. Now imagine if someone like Cyrus or Lysandre or Ghetsis were to find their way in...
14	* ParanoiaFuel: Beware of mirrors, or else an EldritchAbomination will get you.
15	* SpecialEffectFailure: The CG on Zero's mecha, much like [[Anime/Pokemon4Ever Celebi's twig golem]], is [[TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects painfully obvious against everything else]].
16	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: [[spoiler:Dialga only appears at the beginning and end of the film, playing little direct part in the middle. Palkia gets it even worse, as it doesn’t appear beyond flashbacks of the previous movie. Considering the two are supposed to be major characters in a trilogy, it’s rather jarring.]]
17	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Despite being the second in the Sinnoh dragons trilogy, everything after the first half of the story [[spoiler:[[TheStinger but before the ending]]]] is practically another standalone ''Pokemon'' movie. As a result, the film can feel disconnected from its previous installment.
