* Of the Pokémon seen in the movie, only Misty's {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, and James's {{TP|James|Weezing}}, were not captured and cloned by Mewtwo. Misty hid Togepi in her bag, while Staryu, Arbok, and Weezing were not released from their Poké Balls during the gathering.

** Though Mewtwo owned a cloned Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise, they were not the clones of the same Pokémon owned by the Trainers on the island. They were supposedly cloned from Pokémon Mewtwo had previously acquired himself. Despite this, all three of the Trainers' Pokémon were captured by Mewtwo anyway.

*** Mewtwo indicated his wish to populate the new world with his clones; thus the three may have simply been acquired for genetic stock purposes. Having genetic material from multiple {{wp|Genetic Variation|unrelated sources}} would help prevent {{wp|inbreeding|genetic defects}} and result in a more successful {{wp|breeding program}}.

** These three Pokémon are the fully-evolved forms of [[Mewtwo (anime)#Befriended|Mewtwo's childhood friends]], who died before the events of this movie. It is most likely a coincidence since Mewtwo's memory of their deaths was erased by the scientists.
