*When Pikachu is repeatedly shocking Ash to try and bring him back to life, Misty says "Pikachu..." in the Japanese version, and "Please, no..." in the English version. A commentary revealed that the dubbers had many alternatives for this piece of dialogue, one of them being Misty saying "My bike..." referring to a running gag in the anime.

*In the French dub of the movie, Misty's Staryu does not make a sound when it is released from its Poké Ball. In all other versions of the film, Staryu's "voice" can be heard twice.

*The Japanese version portrays Mewtwo as a confused being who cannot place himself among other living beings, so his stress of not being able to figure any of that out leads to his destruction of the labratory on New Island, Team Rocket's new base, and eventually, his plan to destroy the world to prove he should be alive.

*The backstory of the creation of Mewtwo, lasting a lengthy 12 minutes, was removed from the dubbed English version. The two scenes removed was a bunch of explorers walking in the Amazonian jungle finding the Mew engraving and then finding Mew's eyelash, and the next scene consisted of Dr. Fuji's attempts to clone Mew, and the scenes of young Mewtwo with the cloned Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle and Dr. Fuji's cloned daughter. The entire cloning scene was dubbed and made into a short film, "The Birth of Mewtwo". The aforementioned scene of the explorers discovering the Mew engraving was not inculded in that short. The removal of these 2 scenes, as mentioned above, eventually led to Mewtwo's character being portrayed as a cold heartless villain who just wanted to take over the world.

*In the scene where Mewtwo first dons the armor, the description of the armor's purpose was different between the two versions. In the original version, it was made quite clear that the suit was, indeed, supposed to suppress his powers (or at least the bulk of them). The dub, on the other hand, had Giovanni denying that the Armor was meant to suppress the powers, and were instead meant to help Mewtwo "focus" his powers in order to fulfill his purpose.
