Differences between the anime and the manga

  • Ash and Cross first encounter each other at Professor Oak's Laboratory.
  • Cross received his Charmander from Professor Oak.
  • With the exception of capturing Caterpie, the montage of Ash and Pikachu's journey before going to the Pokémon Center is skipped over entirely.
  • In the movie, Ash never meets Team Rocket. In the manga, he briefly sees them at the Pokémon Center, though he never encounters them again.
  • Verity and Sorrel are first seen when Ash encounters Entei instead of showing up at the Pokémon Center.
  • Verity's mother is never brought up.
  • Cross does not learn that Ash possesses the Rainbow Wing at the library.
  • Agatha's cameo appearance as Ash's teacher in the nightmare sequence is omitted.
  • The brief battle between Ash and Pikachu against Ho-Oh is not shown.

Translation edits

Errors

  • In the English version, Sorrel erroneously refers to Ash's Charmeleon as Charmander during its battle with Cross's Incineroar.
