Pokémon world locations

The Distortion World (Japanese: やぶれたせかい Torn World) is a location in Pokémon Platinum. The Distortion World has a major impact on the game's plot as Giratina inhabits this world. The Distortion World is located above Spear Pillar, and utilizes more of the game's 3D capabilities, as floors and walls are able to be traversed in many different angles and seem to spin around in different ways. It has floor-like sections floating at ninety-degree angles from each other, creating an effect similar to the art of M. C. Escher. If Giratina is brought into the Distortion World it will assume its Origin Forme, but when it leaves the Distortion World, Giratina will change back into Altered Forme. Giratina can be changed into its Origin Forme outside of the Distortion World via the Platinum Orb.

During the player's first trip to the Distortion World in Platinum, Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie will guide them around, even helping them in the Strength puzzle.

Geography

The Distortion World is said to be another universe or world parallel to the Pokémon world. Two known gateways to it exist: one at the top of Mt. Coronet on Spear Pillar, and another in Turnback Cave.

It is a dark place with floor-like sections floating at many different angles. The world disobeys the laws of physics, allowing the player to walk and surf on walls in any direction. The only Pokémon known to inhabit the Distortion World is Giratina.

Trivia

• An anime-exclusive place, the Reverse World, may be the anime version of the Distortion World; both locations are home only to Giratina (in its Origin Forme).
