Trivia

• This movie was released between JN049 and JN050 in Japan.
• This movie is directed by Tetsuo Yajima, who had previously directed Pokémon the Series: XY and the movie The Power of Us. He returns to the position after the previous movie was directed by Kunihiko Yuyama and Motonori Sakakibara.
• The theme of Koko being raised as a Pokémon may act as a reference to the theme of Tarzan being raised as an ape in Tarzan of the Apes and the theme of Mowgli being raised as a wolf in The Jungle Book. It is also similar to The Kangaskhan Kid, where Tommy was also raised by Pokémon.
• This is the first movie to feature Kenyu Horiuchi as the narrator in the Japanese version.
• This is the first Pokémon movie to be delayed from its original release date in Japan, due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • As a result, it is the first such movie to be released outside of the month of July in Japan.
• This movie marks the first time Ash mentions his father, the previous two references having come from Delia.
• Had this movie been released on its intended date, it would have marked the anime debuts of Cinderace and Greedent.
