* This was the first Pokémon anime feature to air in the United States earlier than in Japan.
** The second time this happened was later that same year when ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate]]'' premiered in the United States six months before the Japanese version aired.
* All the music used in the special was originally used in the Japanese movies and series. 4Kids mostly used its own, American-composed music for the series.

* This is the first time [[Michele Knotz]] plays {{an|Misty}}. She would not appear again in the role until ''[[BW116|Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', about seven years later.
* The scenes of Pikachu's memories of Lugia, Entei, Celebi, Latias, and Latios come from their respective movie appearances.

*** The one movie from the original series not shown in Pikachu's memories is ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which is likely due to the fact that everyone's memories of that event had been erased at the end of that film by Mewtwo. So when [[Dr. Yung]] comments to Ash that his Mirage Mewtwo "is not the Mewtwo you are familiar with," it is possible that he may have saw a memory of Mewtwo from ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' instead, since Ash and Pikachu were allowed to remember their meeting with him that time.

* The password for Oak's lab, "REDGREEN", is a reference to the original pair of Pokémon games, {{game|Red and Green|s}}.
* The copyright notice on the Japanese version reads ''© 2006 Pokémon USA, Inc./ShoPro. © 2006 Pokémon. © 1995 - 2006 Nintendo / Creatures Inc. / GAME FREAK inc.'' Some of the U.S. production credits were also included.

* {{AP|Pikachu}} knows {{m|Volt Tackle}} in this special, indicating it takes place after ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', yet [[James's Mime Jr.]] is absent, despite having been introduced [[AG147|three episodes earlier]]. However, the reason for James's Mime Jr. being absent may be due to the special having aired in the United States prior to the earlier episode, with the writers knowing to avoid a major spoiler from a then-future episode. Since [[James's Chimecho]] did not appear in this special either, it is presumable that Mime Jr. remained in its Poké Ball.
* This is the first time [[Michele Knotz]] plays {{an|Misty}}. She would not appear again in the role until ''[[BW116|Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', about seven years later.

===Errors===
* [[Max]] states that {{p|Aggron}} cannot use {{m|Thunder Wave}}, but Aggron is able to legitimately learn Thunder Wave through [[Move Tutor|tutoring]] in {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, as well as in {{XD}}. Aggron can also learn it via [[TM73]] in later generations.

* When the Mirage Houndoom sends Team Rocket blasting off, Wobbuffet's voice is heard, but only Jessie, James, and Meowth are seen.
* When the Mirage {{p|Houndoom}} sends {{TRT}} blasting off, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s voice is heard, but only the trio are seen.
* When the missiles are launching out of Dr. Yung's castle, the Mirage Master can be seen standing outside the gate with Mewtwo before they have actually exited the building, which occurs a few scenes later. Not only is this a continuity error, it is impossible as the Mirage Field has not yet been deployed, meaning Mewtwo could not exist outside the castle.
* The footage of Pikachu's memory of ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' is of {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} being chased by the Pokémon hunter, which he did not witness.
* The spikes in Dr. Yung's hair frequently switch sides throughout the special.
* As the missiles are launching out of Dr. Yung's castle, Mewtwo and the Mirage Master can be seen standing outside the gate. They are then shown exiting the building a few scenes later. Not only is this a continuity error, but Mewtwo could not have stepped through the gate without the Mirage Field having been deployed.
* When the wreckage of Dr. Yung's castle falls to impede Oak from capturing Yung, it appears to fall from nowhere, as there is nothing but open air above where it fell.
* In the English version, when Dr. Yung removes his mask after being revealed as the Mirage Master, he briefly continues speaking with a distorted voice after removing the mask. This is not the case in the Japanese version.

* Due to a perspective error, the wreckage of the castle gate that impedes Oak from apprehending Yung seems to fall from empty sky off-screen. The rubble is later shown in a more accurate position beneath the gate arch.

The original opening used the rap section of [[Go Pokémon Go]], while the redub opening used a different section of the song and a different animation. The redub then played the original rap opening as an ending theme during the credits, but without the original animation.
