Before you choose

What kind of time-travel story is this?

Time travel drives much of the story.

Meets the archive’s time-travel criteria. The mechanism is classified as Biological.

Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)

Retain 8/10: trips into the past, interference with the betrayal, and the resulting threat to the travelers future drive the central adventure and resolution. The substantial setup and battles share the focus. TV-derived companion placement remains independent of temporal significance.

Dialga uses its temporal power to send Ash and companions into the past to prevent Arceus’s betrayal.

How Titan works

Titan combines the archive’s quality, audience and legacy base with the significance of time travel. It is an index, not a score out of 100, and is distinct from the FMV archive’s scoring model.

Titan = base × [0.20 + 0.80 × (time-travel score ÷ 10)²]

This film: 86.78 base × 71.2% weighting.

Partial inputs flag incomplete source metadata. Provisional weighting flags a time-travel assessment that remains uncertain; it receives no additional confidence penalty.
