Generally, Pokémon movies and long specials have little to no impact on the overall plotline of the anime and fans will argue as to whether or not they are considered true [[canon]]. Evidence going either way is sparse, with many details, such as the fact that {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} having met {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|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 as well as Dawn's [[Lunar Feather|Lunar Wing]], have in fact been referenced by the main series. ''Pokémon: The Series: XY'' is the final anime series to date to have all of its movies be considered canon.

The three ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' movies are unique exceptions in these regards: ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' is an alternate retelling of Ash's early journey in a continuity completely independent of the main series, with the following movie, ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', being an original story also set within that continuity. Finally, ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'' is the first Pokémon movie to be a remake, being a CGI retelling of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
