==Differences between the anime and the manga== | |||
* In [http://web.archive.org/web/20000510020712/http://www.vizkids.com/pokemon/news_interview.shtml an interview with Animerica magazine], Toshihiro Ono revealed he was instructed to include Mewtwo's origin story in the manga adaptation. Since Ono only had the movie's script to work with (the original theatrical version of the movie was released approximately two months after he had begun work on the manga, with the prologue not being written before the main series hiatus and subsequent episode delays caused by the [[EP038]] incident) and the radio drama [[The Birth of Mewtwo]] had not been created yet, Ono created his own original explanation of Mewtwo's origin. | |||
* {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} and {{an|Dr. Fuji}} have a closer relationship than they do in the film, with Mewtwo considering Fuji like a father. | |||
* Mewtwo physically talks, using its mouth, instead of through telepathy. | |||
* Dr. Fuji's motivations are different than in the movie. In the manga, he is motivated to clone {{p|Mew}} out of a desire for revenge against an institute he was expelled from. | |||
* Dr. Fuji meets {{OBP|Mew|M01}} face-to-face and befriends it, leading to his acquiring one of its eyelashes. It later leaves him when he becomes consumed by his work. | |||
* Dr. Fuji attempts to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Mew using a [[Master Ball]] in the manga. No Master Ball is featured at any point in the movie. | |||
* {{an|Giovanni}}'s ultimate plan is to have Dr. Fuji mass produce Mewtwo and create an army of mindless living weapons. Fuji begs Mewtwo to destroy the laboratory to prevent this and it does so, causing Fuji's death. | |||
* During Ash's battle with [[Raymond]], the match between [[Ash's Squirtle]] and Raymond's {{p|Machamp}} doesn't occur in the manga. Also, {{AP|Pikachu}} faces off against a different trio of Raymond's Pokémon [[Party|team]], defeating a Machamp instead of a {{p|Pinsir}}. | |||
* Instead of sending out invitations to Trainers it selected, Mewtwo hosts a tournament called the "CoroCoro Cup" at the Pokémon Dome and challenges its winner to a battle. After defeating him, it challenges the Trainers in attendance to visit it on [[New Island]] in a week's time. | |||
* [[Officer Jenny]] isn't featured in the manga, while in the anime, she is seen trying to uphold the peace at [[Old Shore Wharf]] alongside {{OBP|Miranda|M01}}. | |||
* Ash and {{ashfr}} leave Old Shore Wharf on their Pokémon, whereas in the anime, {{TRT}} initially offers them a lift to their destination before they capsize and are forced to swim using their Pokémon. | |||
* Several different Trainers are featured among the many trying to reach New Island, including a girl riding her {{p|Tentacool}}, a male Trainer on a {{p|Lapras}}, another male on a {{p|Dewgong}}, and another Trainer with a {{p|Poliwhirl}}. | |||
