The revelation that Sam ''is'' Oak, while inferable thanks to disclosure of Oak's first name in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', comes only at the end of the movie when Oak implicitly confirms the connection through his knowledge of Sam's name despite Ash having never told him of it. Additionally, Tracey finds the sketchbook in which young Sam drew Pikachu sleeping with Celebi in Oak's closet. | ||
Despite the fact that Sam sees many Generation II Pokémon throughout the movie (notably the legendary Pokémon {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Suicune}}), the Pokédex he gifts Ash in the Kanto arc only catalogs Generation I Pokémon, claiming that they are all the Pokémon that the world knows. This discrepancy is likely no longer canon, instead representing a silent {{wp|retcon}} that occurred due to the ever-increasing number of Pokémon; indeed, Pokémon from [[Generation II]], [[Generation III]], and [[Generation IV]] are able to be trained in Kanto during the Generation I remakes FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as during the Generation II remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver. Perhaps to avoid a similar plothole, the number of Pokémon as of the current generation is no longer explicitly mentioned in anime-related media. | Despite the fact that Sam sees many Generation II Pokémon throughout the movie (notably the legendary Pokémon {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Suicune}}), the Pokédex he gifts Ash in the Kanto arc only catalogs Generation I Pokémon, claiming that they are all the Pokémon that the world knows.
