Trivia

Artwork of Charmander for the movie, featuring three-fingered hands.
  • This movie was released between SM129 and SM130 in Japan.
  • This is the first-ever fully CGI animated Pokémon movie.
  • This movie is co-directed by Kunihiko Yuyama and Motonori Sakakibara, the former returning after the previous movie was directed by Tetsuo Yajima. This subsequently makes this the first movie to be directed by two people as opposed to one.
  • Takeshi Shudō receives a posthumous credit for this movie's screenplay.
  • The first poster for the movie is similar to the original teaser poster for Mewtwo Strikes Back.
  • This is one of two Pokémon-related movies to be released in 2019, with the other being the live-action Detective Pikachu movie. Coincidentally, both of them feature Mewtwo in a prominent role and heavily use CGI.
  • This is the first Pokémon movie to be released in the Reiwa period.
  • Unshō Ishizuka's narration is posthumously featured in this movie. It was recorded in March 2018.[1]
  • This is the first Pokémon movie:
  • Despite it not having a significant role in the movie, Charmander CGI artwork was made for the movie and used in promotional material
    • This also marks the first time a 3D model of Charmander used the orginal three-fingered hand featured in the sprites of Pokémon Red and Green, after it had been reintroduced in hand-drawn material and in merchandise
  • This is the second time Meowth has been depicted in CGI, after "Meowth's Party".

Differences from the original movie

  • Mewtwo's armor has a different design, and can also act as a restraint should it rebel. Giovanni attempts and fails to utilize this feature before Mewtwo escapes the Team Rocket HQ.
  • Giovanni wears a black suit in this movie, instead of the orange suit he wore until the Best Wishes series.
  • Raymond's Golem is replaced by a Drowzee, in the process eliminating the error present in Mewtwo Strikes Back, where Pikachu manages to knock out the part Ground-type with a Thunderbolt.
  • While Mewtwo observes Ash's battle with Raymond, Nurse Joy delivers some exposition about Misty and Brock.
  • Ash's Charizard lets itself out of its Poké Ball and tries to battle Dragonite when it lands.
  • Team Rocket attempts to take Ash and his friends to New Island in a Lapras-shaped sailboat, with the Viking motif being eliminated entirely. Team Rocket also sing a song during this scene.
  • Brock tries to flirt with Neesha, which he doesn't do in Mewtwo Strikes Back.
  • Blastoise now features a three-fingered hand instead of the five-fingered hand used in Mewtwo strikes Back
  • When Ash is petrified during the movie's climax, he turns to black stone instead of gray rock.
  • The ending credits now feature paintings of Ash and his friends in different areas.
  • A Generation III Pokémon, Wingull, appears in the movie's ending credits.
    • Miranda also mentions Wingull earlier in the movie. This is an alteration of an existing line in the Japanese version of Mewtwo Strikes Back, where she refers to regular seagulls instead.
  • The post-credits scene, which was previously a shot of Mew flying off into the mountains, now shows Mewtwo and the clones flying toward Mount Quena, foreshadowing Mewtwo Returns.
  • Some of the music featured in the movie is remixed from preceding movies, including Black—Victini and Reshiram, Genesect and the Legend Awakened (which also starred a Mewtwo), Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, and Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel.
