Generally, Pokémon movies have little to no impact on the overall plotline of the anime, and are considered by many to be little different from [[filler episode]]s as far as their canon status. Some fans consider the movies to be non-canon, citing movies of long-running anime like ''{{wp|Dragon Ball}}'' as being not canon to their series, despite featuring the same characters in the same general style. | Generally, Pokémon movies have little to no impact on the overall plotline of the anime, and are considered by many to be little different from [[filler episode]]s as far as their canon status.

Of Dragon Ball's 17 movies, only one of them is truly considered canon. | ||
Evidence going either way is sparse, with many details, such as the fact that {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} having met {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' going unmentioned when the legendary Pokémon are seen again in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''. Other details introduced in movies, such as Ash's [[aura]] abilities, have in fact been referenced by the main anime. As details of earlier episodes are sometimes contradicted by later ones, such as May claiming to have used {{TP|May|Skitty}} in the {{To|Fallarbor}} {{pkmn|Contest}} in ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]'' when she actually used {{TP|May|Beautifly}} in ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]'', this is generally presumed to carry over into the movies as well. | Evidence going either way is sparse, with many details, such as the fact that {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} having met {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' going unmentioned when the legendary Pokémon are seen again in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.
