|location_name=Ruined World

The '''Ruined World''' (Japanese: '''やぶれたせかい''' ''Torn World'') is a location in {{game|Platinum}}. The Ruined World has a major impact on the game's plot as {{p|Giratina}} inhabits this world. The Ruined 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 {{wp|M. C. Escher}}. If Giratina is brought into the Ruined World it will assume its Origin Forme, but when it leaves the Ruined World, Giratina will change back into Another Forme. Giratina can be changed into its Origin Forme outside of the Ruined World via the [[Type-enhancing item#Platinum Orb (Platinum Only)|Platinum Orb]].

During the {{player}}'s first trip to the Ruined World in Platinum, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Uxie}} will guide them around, even helping them in the {{m|Strength}} puzzle.

The Ruined World is said to be another universe or world parallel to the {{g|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 <!--Gravity is directional --> {{wp|laws of physics}}, allowing the player to walk and surf on walls in any direction. The only Pokémon known to inhabit the Ruined World is {{p|Giratina}}.

* An anime-exclusive place, the [[Reverse World]], ''may'' be the anime version of the Ruined World; both locations are home only  to {{p|Giratina}} (in its Origin Forme).
