The three ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' movies are unique exceptions in these regards: ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' is an alternate retelling of Ash's early journey in a continuity completely independent of the main series, with the following movie, ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', being an original story also set within that continuity. Finally, ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'' is the first Pokémon movie to be a remake, being a CGI retelling of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. | The three ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' movies are unique exceptions in these regards: ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' is an alternate retelling of Ash's early journey in a continuity completely independent of the main series, with the following movie, ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', being an original story also set within that continuity.

It is possible that early on, the movies were intended to have no impact on the main anime continuity, as Mewtwo's erasure of everyone's memories at the conclusion of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' means that the events of the movie don't have much continuing impact on the series. However, as the series has progressed, more references to past movies have been made, with Ash recognizing a {{p|Latios}} immediately in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', despite having only seen one previously in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', eventually culminating with characters from the aforementioned movie and its setting directly appearing in the main series in ''[[JN146|Ash and Latios | It is possible that early on, the movies were intended to have no impact on the main anime continuity, as Mewtwo's erasure of everyone's memories at the conclusion of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' means that the events of the movie don't have much continuing impact on the series.

Due to this inconsistency, it will be noted in the movies' individual articles when a reference has been made to them in the main anime. The placement of the movies in the anime timeline will normally be between the episodes aired before and after the date of the movie's Japanese premiere, though often with more recent movies, this placement can vary with regard to events in the main anime. | Due to this inconsistency, it will be noted in the movies' individual articles when a reference has been made to them in the main anime.
