Title Drop: The English dub restores a line from the original Japanese film that was lost in the 4Kids' localization, which is Mewtwo declaring that he'll strike back at the humans.

Underestimating Badassery
 Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution / int_1a8dc238
comment
Underestimating Badassery: As expected, both Mewtwo and Mew see each other as the weaker specimen that they could easily defeat and both soon realize that the other is far more stronger than they initially realize. This is obvious with Mewtwo after he gets blasted by Mew's energy blast but it's more subtle with Mew who goes from playful to frustrated after a long stalemate.

Adaptation Expansion
 Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution / int_23473ae7
comment
Adaptation Expansion: The opening adds a scene where Ash and his friends arrive at the cliff overlooking the sea shortly before they have lunch. The manga version adds a few new scenes: Mewtwo says he doesn't like Giovanni as he begins to rebel, prompting the latter to activate the failsafe features. In addition, when Mewtwo begins breaking the armor, Giovanni sends out his Rhydon who battles Mewtwo but ends up accidentally breaking Mewtwo's armor with Horn Drill allowing the Genetic Pokémon to escape. Ash's battle with Raymond starts off as a Double Battle pitting Bulbasaur and Squirtle against Donphan and Machamp. After those two are beaten, it progresses like the film (Raymond sends out Venemoth, Pinsir and Drowzee and has them attack, only for Pikachu to zap them into defeat). Mewtwo gets to clearly state his motives during his battle with Mew, explaining that the clones must win because if they prove to be inferior to the originals, they have no right to exist; therefore, their rebellion is their revenge upon the humans who placed such standards upon them.

Mythology Gag: The title for the movie is rendered exactly the same way as the Japanese title for Mewtwo Strikes Back was, only with "Evolution" added. Brock makes mention of jelly donuts while flirting, a reference to the well known cultural edit in “Primeape Goes Bananas”.

Adapted Out: Raymond's Golem is replaced by Drowzee so Pikachu's KO of the remaining members of Raymond's team makes more sense (Golem is immune to Electric-type attacks) Meowthtwo doesn't appear in the manga adaptation due to the cloning machine Team Rocket activates simply displaying Meowth without taking a sample of his DNA and making a clone.

comment
Adaptational Badass: Team Rocket's facilities get a special security upgrade from the original film, with Dr. Fuji's lab having robotic arms to constrain Mewtwo and Giovanni using a failsafe feature on the armor to lock Mewtwo into place. Too bad all it does is make Mewtwo use his full power to escape. Due to battles getting extended length, the original Pokémon are able to put much more of fight against their clones in this retelling. Corey's Bruteroot, for example, not only gets back up from the finishing Vine Whip attack but it also uses Energy Ball, a move that didn't debut until Gen IV. Too bad Mewtwo's Venusaur gets an adaptational upgrade as well with Leaf Storm, a move that also didn't appear until Gen IV.

 Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution / int_82a64c4b
comment
Adaptational Nice Guy: Ash's Charizard. While ill-mannered and kinda lazy, it lacks the arrogance and disobedience of the canon by the same time, being on good terms with Ash and following his commands without problems. Downplayed with Ash and friends. The 4Kids localization emphasized on Ash's laziness and immaturity, with him proclaiming that he's "too weak to work" despite not doing "a thing all day" and Brock calling his dish "lazy-boy no-chew stew." Since this movie has an additional scene of Ash setting up the table before tiring out, the new dub revises it as Ash being overconfident in his stamina and Brock telling Misty to not be too hard on Ash. Ironically, this is closer to the original Japanese version. On the other hand, Ash shows a more upbeat and lively personality, akin to his characterization in the franchise's last installments, in contrast to his more sassy and lazy characterization from the anime's first years.

 Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution / int_b121a71e
comment
Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object: The battle between the original Pokémon and the clones is portrayed as such. They keep on fighting until one of them is defeated for good but that often leads to both sides collapsing from sheer exhaustion. And the fighting won't stop until Mew and Mewtwo's battle ends. But since they are the strongest Pokémon in existence, they aren't feeling fatigue anytime soon much to Mew's frustration. It's Ash's Heroic Sacrifice that ends the seemingly never-ending battle.

Berserk Button: In the English dub, the word "real" enrages Mewtwo, even when it's used in a different context. When Mew states that a Pokemon's real strength comes from the heart, Mewtwo takes it as a personal insult and decides that his clones don't need to show their powers to be superior.note This is likely to bridge the 4Kids version of Mew's speech to the Japanese Mewtwo's conflict since in the original film, Mew states that real Pokémon cannot be defeated by mere copies if both sides don't use their powers.

Call-Forward: Some Pokemon are shown using moves that hadn't existed in Generation I in addition to Raymond's Donphan's use of Rollout and Mewtwo's Shadow Ball carried over from the original film. Misty pulls Brock's ear when his Casanova Wannabe tendencies get out of hand, a Running Gag that the anime hadn't picked up yet when the original was released. Misty shows fear when she sees Gyarados up close, a phobia that won't be explored until the Pokémon Chronicles side-series. Wingull appears in the credits as the only post-Generation II Pokémon added to the movie. Miranda also acknowledges them during the storm. In addition, the image that has the Wingull has the mother and daughter who first appeared in Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew showing up as well.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Mew is even more playful when it encounters Mewtwo for the first time, barely reacting to the Shadow Ball popping its bubble. But as the battle against Mewtwo reaches to the climax, its eyes and voice are full of anger as it begins charging its final attack. That's the moment where Mew realizes that beating Mewtwo isn't as easy it once thought and thus it's no longer playing around this time.

Ascetic Aesthetic: In this retelling, Dr. Fuji's laboratory is a giant chamber that is completely white, clean, and filled with nothing but glass tubes and one central machine with the latest holo-technology. This is in complete contrast with the original film, where Fuji's laboratory was a claustrophobic, shady place so dim that the faces of the scientists are obscured in shadows.

Beware the Nice Ones: Like in the original, Mew may treat battles like a friendly game but don't piss it off. Mewtwo finds that out the hard way when after hitting Mew with a Shadow Ball. And it actually growls at Mewtwo once the battle went long enough.
