Trivia

• This is the first movie to have its dub title revealed before its Japanese release.
• This movie has more human antagonists than any other movie, with four.
• While other movies have featured in-person cameos of Champions and Frontier Brains, this is the first film that features an in-person cameo of an Elite Four member.
• Had An Undersea Place to Call Home! not been delayed from airing, this movie would have featured the first appearance of Ash's Hawlucha, as the episode where it was caught would not have aired until after the movie's release.
