Trivia
The sound that Palkia makes in this film is derived from the sound of Boga the Varactyl from Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005). Here, it is also mixed with sounds that Godzilla (Godzilla (1954)) and King Ghidorah (Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964)) make.

Goofs
During the Oracion end scene, there is a shot of the towers zoomed out with Alice and the gang on the bridge. It shows all the complete features of the tower. However, when the wings show, the "complete" set of flowers and vines disappear

Quotes
James: [spying on Ash and co] Say, this balloon thing is catching on.
Meowth: Like we're gonna catch Pikachu.
[several aerial Pokemon float by]
Jessie: More balloons?
Meowth: Three Drifloon and a Drifblim.
Jessie: Ah, they're so round and cute. Say, I think they want us to take them for a walk!
[tries to catch them with a net]
Jessie: Come... to... Jessie! Will you please stop playing hard to get?
[the Drifloon and Drifblim expand in size]
Jessie: What'd I do?
Meowth: Same thing you always do!
James: Okay, now. A little humor will go a long way to stop that swelling.
[the Drifloon and Drifblim expel a whirlwind of air]
Meowth: They busted us with gust!
James, Meowth, Jessie: WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!

the best pokemon movie ever

"the best" Pokemon movie ........watch it :):D .... with out fail

When I first saw this movie I was like superb! This is one of the best Pokemon movies I've ever seen so far. & I had this feeling that I must buy this movie. The best thing I really like about this movie is that the movie followed up on the plot perfectly.The special effects in 3 D turned out great. & best of all it had such a sad but cute happy ending to it. I totally disagree on how the star rating turned out to be. I think this movie deserves something better. I would give this movie an 8.5 star rating. From all the Pokemon movies that I've seen they have been starting to improve quite a bit. Great job! Keep up the good work!
