* The episodes ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' feature {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} in scenes that prelude this movie. These episodes were supposed to air before the movie premiere, but due to the anime's four-month hiatus after the seizures caused by [[EP038]], the episodes ended up airing on September 17, 24, and October 8, 1998, respectively, whereas the movie premiered on July 18. | * The episodes ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' feature {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} in scenes that prelude this movie.

** The scene in which Nidoking and Arcanine battle Mewtwo is adapted from Gary's battle against Giovanni in ''The Battle of the Badge'', but there are several differences between the two versions. The movie has a different perspective and animation, mostly evident in Mewtwo's appearance, which is more cartoony in the episode as opposed to the elaborate design of its armor in the movie. Mewtwo's whole body glows when it uses Psychic against Nidoking and Arcanine in the episode, but only its eyes glow in the movie. Mewtwo's chin is covered by its armor in the movie, but it is exposed in the episode. It is unknown whether this is an error or design change, since what looks like the chin could have been part of the armor if colored differently. Giovanni's position also differs: he stands up and walks forward before sending out Mewtwo in the episode, but stays seated in the movie. | ** The scene in which Nidoking and Arcanine battle Mewtwo is adapted from Gary's battle against Giovanni in ''The Battle of the Badge'', but there are several differences between the two versions.

** In ''It's Mr. Mime Time'', Mewtwo makes a cameo when the Rocket Trio comes to [[Team Rocket HQ]] to apologize to Giovanni and has a brief video chat with him. The upward-panning shot of Mewtwo uses the same animation of the scene in which Mewtwo is first shown in its armor. | ** In ''It's Mr. Mime Time'', Mewtwo makes a cameo when the Rocket Trio comes to [[Team Rocket HQ]] to apologize to Giovanni and has a brief video chat with him.

** The scene of Mewtwo blasting out of {{an|Team Rocket HQ}} in ''Showdown at the Po-ké Corral'' is also shown in the movie's prologue. The explosion in the episode has a different perspective and animation, but both shots of Mewtwo flying away use the same animation.
