During Generation IV, Pokemon released their films in what is commonly known as the Time and Space Trilogy. The first was "The Rise of Darkrai" and the second was "Giratina and the Sky Warrior." "Arceus and the Jewel of Life" is the final film in that trilogy. Released at the time when Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver were on the horizon the film included a lot of the new Sinnoh Pokemon as well as those seen in the Johto region.
I do have to admit that I feel this film is the weakest of the three in it's trilogy. Arceus is a beast though. To this day it's still a Pokemon that can hold it's own extremely well and is banned in most competitions do it's brute strength. Arceus is pretty much the Pokemon equivalent to God. He created all Pokemon and the world in which they roam. In this film, Arceus makes a deal with Damos to help restore a dying land. He lends Damos part of his being to help regain the land to it's former beauty. But when Damos fails to return the Jewel of Life it causes Arceus to explode in a rage. The creator of all Pokemon is not one you want to mess around with.
Seen briefly in this film as well is the legendary Pokemon Heatran. A favorite amongst many Pokemon trainers. Although I've never really found great use for it I can't deny that it is a Pokemon that can definitely hold it's own as long as you don't stomp your feet too hard. Due to it's double weakness to ground, if the ground moves in the slightest way Heatran will fall victim to it.
When compared to the other "Pokemon" films, I find this one to fit in with the other ones somewhere in the middle. It's not a great film, but it is alright.
