Differences from the original movie

  • Mewtwo's armor has a different design, and can also act as a restraint should he rebel. Giovanni attempts and fails to utilize this feature before Mewtwo escapes the Team Rocket base.
  • 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.
  • Brock tries to flirt with Neesha, which he doesn't do 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.
  • 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.
