When researchers discover and exploit a fossil of the Mythical Pokémon Mew, they unleash a creation that goes against the very laws of nature: Mewtwo, a Legendary Pokémon intended for use as a tool of destruction. But as Mewtwo becomes aware of its own dubious origin, it begins to resent its human creators and seeks revenge—and Ash, Pikachu, and their friends find themselves at the center of its rampage! With the future of the Pokémon world at stake, will our heroes be able to overcome Mewtwo’s challenge…and will Mewtwo be able to find a new meaning for its life?

Trivia

  • 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.
  • Unshō Ishizuka's narration is posthumously featured in this movie. It was recorded in March 2018.[2]
  • This is the first Pokémon movie:

Differences from the original movie

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
  • 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 activates this feature before Mewtwo escapes the Team Rocket HQ, but it fails to stop Mewtwo.
  • 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.
  • Ash's Charizard, Misty's Psyduck, and Brock's Vulpix all appear earlier in the movie, during the lunch scene.
  • Ash's Charizard attacks using Flamethrower on Dragonite when it lands.
  • Nurse Joy gives information about Ash, Misty and Brock before she asks if they need to be invited.
  • 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.
