Differences from the original movie

- The laboratory where Mewtwo is born has a completely different design, with predominantly white colors.
- Mewtwo's armor has a different design. It frequently moves along with Mewtwo in combat 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 darker suit in this movie, instead of the bright orange suit he wore until the Best Wishes series.
- A new scene is added in which Giovanni presents Mewtwo to an army of Team Rocket members in a vast hall after its armor is equipped.
- Giovanni is not on the ground with the Team Rocket Grunts as they capture the herd of Tauros. Instead, he is observing overhead from his helicopter.
- Mewtwo isn't shown battling an Alakazam or a Magneton in the Viridian Gym.
- 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.
- 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.
