- Mewtwo's armour has a different design, and can also act as a restraint should the Pokémon rebel. Giovanni attempts and fails to utilise this feature before Mewtwo escapes the Team Rocket base.
- Raymond's Golem has been replaced by a Drowzee, eliminating the error present in the original movie in which Pikachu manages to knock out the part-Ground-type with a Thunderbolt.
- While Mewtwo observes Ash's battle with Raymond, Nurse Joy delivers some exposition about Misty and Brock.
- Ash's Charizard lets itself out of its Poké Ball and tries to battle Dragonite when it lands.
- Team Rocket attempt to take Ash and his friends to New Island in a Lapras-shaped sailboat, with the viking motif being eliminated entirely.
- Brock tries to flirt with Neesha, which he doesn't do in the original.
- When Ash is petrified at the movie's climax, he turns to black stone instead of grey rock.
- The post-credits scene now shows Mewtwo and the clones flying toward Mount Quena, foreshadowing Mewtwo Returns.
