Artistic License – Ornithology: The short scene showing a Spearow's point of view reveals it sees in black and white (as it did back in the first episode). Birds in Real Life are known to have good color vision, and they can distinguish colors better than people can. Though it can be excused on the account of Spearow not being a real-life bird and being a Pokemon so its vision might work differently. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Pokémon: I Choose You! / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: The group is harassed by a group of wild angry Primeape. Sorrel then notes that they're highly aggressive while angry, but all the Primeape do is...harmlessly toss the group up and down in the air. Though Ash receives grave life-ending injuries that kill him, he doesn't suffer loss of blood. There is a distinct lack of blood when Lycanroc bites into Cross's arm. | |

Darker and Edgier: Well... sort of. Unlike previous movies, there are some themes that make the film cater to adults as well as kids: young Sorrel's Luxray dying from cold temperatures, Ash taking the brunt of attacks twice, and shielding Pikachu and dying (in the form of fireflies). Bloodless Carnage still applies, though. | |

In the film's climax, when Ash is killed by Marshadow's army of Brainwashed and Crazy wild Pokémon and finds himself in the afterlife, its appearance, similar to the real world but with a murky grey filter, resembles the depiction of it from Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. | |

The Cameo | |
| Pokémon: I Choose You! / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: The two trainers that are battling on TV in the beginning are Neesha and Corey from Pokémon: The First Movie. When Ash is late to get his first Pokémon, Gary is shown briefly receiving his Squirtle from Professor Oak. The other trainers receiving their starters are Marina (from the episode "Bye Bye Psyduck") and recurring XY character Tierno (although Tierno's clothing was altered). Agatha appears in Ash's Dream Sequence, as a teacher of the school he attends. During the credits sequence, we see Heracross being fought by Ash and Wobbuffet appearing with Team Rocket on their Meowth Balloon. During the closing narration, several characters from the previous movies appear. We see Lugia and Slowking from Pokémon 2000, Baron Alberto and Maury from Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai, and Juanita and Golurk from Pokémon: The Movie Black/White. | |

The Rival | |
| Pokémon: I Choose You! / int_1c3d047e | comment |
Charizard's story arc has been streamlined quite a bit. Its previous trainer is Cross, the primary antagonist and rival for Ash in this movie, rather than Damian. And unlike Damian, Cross doesn't try to deceive Charmander of what he really thinks of it, bearing more resemblance to Ash's other rival Paul. Charmander's recovery is simplified from an intense emergency treatment at the Pokémon Center to Sorrel creating a simple medicine and Ash personally holding it in his arms. And the whole disobedience-after-evolution subplot was dropped entirely, ironically making Charmeleon a reflection of Ash's strength rather than Ash's handling as a trainer. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Pokémon: I Choose You! / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: The scene where Pikachu speaks human language. Since it's from Ash's point of view, it's never made clear if he's actually talking; if Ash is imagining it; or if Ash simply understands him (as it's been heavily implied that he can in the main series). Which two Gym badges Ash acquired prior to the Rainbow Badge. In the main continuity Ash had three before challenging Erika. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Pokémon: I Choose You! / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Already present in the first preview, considering the nature of the movie: Ho-Oh, who appeared in the first episode, is the main focus. The title of the movie is the title of the first episode of the anime. For that matter, the first ten minutes or so of the movie is a condensed version of the episode's events(sans Misty). In some cases, remade shot-for-shot. Ash is wearing a slightly modified version of his Indigo League attire. The symbol on his cap is a mix of his Kanto and Alola caps, and the original symbol can be seen on his backpack. Bonji wears a cap and jacket very similar to those worn by Red in Pokémon Red and Blue. The opening theme song (also used in the trailer) is a remix of the TV series' very first opening — "Mezase Pokémon Master" in the Japanese version, and "Pokémon Theme" in the English dub. Ho-Oh resurrecting Ash references the legend of Ho-Oh in the games, as it originally resurrected the three legendary beasts of Johto: Suicune, Entei, and Raikou. The Japanese ending theme is Oración's Theme ~Let's Walk Together~, which is based on Oración, an instrumental piece from Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai, the tenth Pokémon film and the first for Generation IV. In the film's climax, when Ash is killed by Marshadow's army of Brainwashed and Crazy wild Pokémon and finds himself in the afterlife, its appearance, similar to the real world but with a murky grey filter, resembles the depiction of it from Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. Corey and Neesha cameo as dueling trainers during an early competitive battling segment. Marina (of the Orange Islands) and Tierno (from Kalos) cameo as the trainers who collect Charmander and Bulbasaur in the beginning. The competitive battling segment has announcer chatter lifted straight from Pokémon Stadium. Butterfree has pretty much the same story arc as the original Anime. In the end, Ash, Verity, and Sorrel split up at the same (or at least a similar looking location) as Ash, Misty, and Brock did in the original series. In the dub, many lines are lifted from the 4Kids dub, rerecorded by the current voice actors. This is what was done in the dub of The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion! wherein most of the characters (except for Koga) had their lines rerecorded by the current voice actors during Ash's flashback sequence. | |

Breaking Old Trends | |
| Pokémon: I Choose You! / int_311500f5 | comment |
Breaking Old Trends: Every prior movie ostensibly fitted into the chronology of the series (despite their events rarely, if ever, being brought up in episodes or other movies). This one, however, kickstarts an Ultimate Universe completely divorced from the series' canon. | |

Flat Character | |
| Pokémon: I Choose You! / int_3d5c5deb | comment |
Flat Character: Sorrel's Lucario spends the huge majority of the movie just sitting or standing around without so much changing expressions (and has less scenes being around than Verity's Piplup). Sorrel did say that when he met Lucario, he stopped distancing himself from making friends with Pokémon...but there isn't more elaboration on that. Cross's Incineroar solely exists to fight battles. Cross's Midnight Lycanroc. Cross comments while trying to snap him out of Marshadow's brainwashing that he met Lycanroc before when it bit his arm ferociously, which doesn't get any elaboration. | |

Alternate Continuity: Confirmed in an interview to be the case. The entire movie deviates rather heavily from the anime's story with many points, and is said to be inspired by all of Ash's adventures. Ho-Oh - having been dropped off from the main story without a proper introduction - becoming the focus of the journey, being from Generation II. Ash having entirely different companions that aren't Misty or Brock, nor any other known traveling companion. Marshadow joining Ash and his companions, with another Trainer possessing Incineroar and Midnight Lycanroc. | |

The Un-Reveal | |
| Pokémon: I Choose You! / int_5a3b8032 | comment |
The Unreveal: After Ash loudly comments he wants to become a Pokémon Master, Verity wonders if that means being the best trainer of all, which Ash cheerfully replies it's better than that. He doesn't explain what, and Verity completely drops further questioning. Ash and Pikachu finally battle Ho-oh at the end of the film, but the outcome is not shown. The next scene shows Pikachu beat up but in good spirits at the Pokémon Center, so it could have gone either way. Since a major theme of the movie is that The Power of Friendship is more important than winning or losing, this is likely deliberate. | |

High School AU | |
| Pokémon: I Choose You! / int_5eff8cf | comment |
High School AU: Deconstructed. There's a Dream Sequence about Ash being a normal elementary schooler. It, however, is jarring and is used to show how unnatural that is for Ash, as well as the rest of the world—instead of a pristine wilderness, their surroundings are the real Japan’s modern-day Kanto region, which is urbanized far more heavily than even the biggest city in Pokémon, and looks distinctly grittier. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: After the battle between Pikachu and Marshadow, Pikachu ends up severely injured. Ash picks up Pikachu and tries to escape, but the brainwashed Pokémon fire ruthless attacks on Ash and Pikachu. Ash shields Pikachu to protect it from the blasts and is also severely hurt in the process. As the Pokémon prepare a final explosion, Ash recalls Pikachu and grabs the pokeball tightly, taking the full force of the attacks himself. Pikachu is saved, but at the cost of Ash's own life. | |

Formula-Breaking Episode | |
| Pokémon: I Choose You! / int_670db7d7 | comment |
Formula-Breaking Episode: This movie breaks away from the formula from the previous movies. In particular: It doesn't take place in Alola with the current cast, as previous movies "fit in" with the concurrent season airing at the time. It doesn't feature either of the current generation's cover Legendaries. Since the third generation, the first movie to follow a launch of a new Pokémon generation had one or both cover Legendaries as a major focus. While it does feature Marshadow, a Mythical Pokémon (Pokémon that can only be gotten from real-life events) from the current generation, it is not the main focus of the movie. | |

For Want of a Nail | |
| Pokémon: I Choose You! / int_79a60aec | comment |
For Want Of A Nail: The movie diverges from the original timeline in two major ways. First Ash never encounters Misty after he falls in the river during his run from the Spearow flock, so he never borrows & destroys her bike which initially caused Misty to follow Ash on his journey. The second is Ho-oh dropping a single feather. This heals Ash and Pikachu, so they don’t go to the Viridian Pokémon Center, and thus they never encounter Team Rocket. For whatever reason, Brock never joined Ash either when he passed through Pewter City. As a result, Ash travels alone until Celadon City where he meets Verity and Sorrel, the latter of whom explains the legend of Ho-Oh, causing Ash to show off the Rainbow Wing, which leads to the main plot. | |

Adaptational Nice Guy | |
| Pokémon: I Choose You! / int_82a64c4b | comment |
Adaptational Nice Guy: Whereas Professor Oak became a Nice Guy in the series through Characterization Marches On, here, he's actually a considerate person from the beginning. In this version of the story, Ash's Charmeleon actually stays loyal to him after evolving. Both Ash and Pikachu fall into this. Rather than his more hot headed and bratty persona from Kanto, he instead acts more like how he is in Hoenn and Sinnoh, being very skilled and yet also thoughtful and considerate. Likewise, while Pikachu starts out bratty, but once Ash saves him, he's immediately more respectful of him, rather than how he was bratty throughout most of Kanto. | |

Show, Don't Tell | |
| Pokémon: I Choose You! / int_870bbf64 | comment |
Show, Don't Tell: Strangely invoked. During their first fight, Cross purposely lets his Incineroar get damaged enough so that its ability Blaze activated for a power boost, which Sorrel points out for side commentary. However, not even Sorrel points out that Ash's Charmeleon also had that ability and could have triggered after getting smacked enough, so it's safe to assume someone needed to tell Charmeleon's Blaze triggered to show. Later on their second fight, the subject of abilities isn't brought up anymore, leaving it up to the audience to decide. | |

Continuity Reboot: Unusually, compared to "mainstream" Pokémon, this is an actual reboot, not a Soft Reboot. But it's a reboot for The Movie adaptations, replacing the canon of the previous Non-Serial Movies that ran alongside the anime as an Alternate Continuity. As such, it starts an entirely new canon for the The Movie adaptations (which are Alternate Continuity to the anime, anyway) from a clean slate. | |

Mirror Character | |

Mirror Character: Ash and Cross. In this continuity, Ash has a serious winning streak until he and Cross fight, in which he loses horribly, causing him to become obsessed with making up for the loss, despite his traveling companions pointing out that it's unrealistic to win every battle. First, Ash speculates that he'd have won had he used Pikachu instead of Charmeleon, spoken in a way that suggests he might be thinking Cross has a point, and then lets slip that he wished he had chosen Bulbasaur or Squirtle from Professor Oak instead, while Pikachu is within earshot. This makes Pikachu run off, which Ash can’t believe because he's the chosen one and doesn't deserve this, which turns the Rainbow Wing black for the first time, resulting in the High School AU sequence, and Ash coming to his senses. Later, he doesn’t force Butterfree to stay with him and miss out on mating with the female Butterfree even though Butterfree was willing to do it and be unhappy, proving that he got over this. Then in the climax we learn that Cross too saw Ho-Oh and became obsessed with becoming the strongest in order to be worthy enough to battle it, and is furious that Ash was chosen instead, making him what Ash would have been had he neglected the importance of friendship. | |

Insecure Protagonist, Arrogant Antagonist: Ash, while somewhat smarter than his TV series counterpart, tends to doubt himself and his abilities, especially after losing against Cross in their battle, but later manages to pick himself back up from it. Cross is an extremely arrogant trainer who values strength above everything else and is frustrated that he never obtained the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh like Ash did, causing said wing to become corrupted when he steals it from him, but eventually learns the error of his ways after everything that happens in the movie. | |

Composite Character: Cross replaces Gary as Ash's rival, while also replacing Damian, in that Charmander was originally his before he abandoned it for being weak. Which is also similar to Paul and Chimchar. Verity is essentially a combination of Misty (tomboyish Water Pokémon trainer who travels with Ash through Kanto) and Dawn (an energetic Twinleaf Town native who chose Piplup as her starter). This version of Charizard, funnily enough, takes more after Ash's Infernape than his main series counterpart; he not only stays loyal to Ash after evolving, but his former trainer becomes Ash's main rival, and it's only in their final battle that Charizard wins, thereby getting payback for being called weak. | |

The Power of Friendship | |
| Pokémon: I Choose You! / int_faece9aa | comment |
Ash and Pikachu finally battle Ho-oh at the end of the film, but the outcome is not shown. The next scene shows Pikachu beat up but in good spirits at the Pokémon Center, so it could have gone either way. Since a major theme of the movie is that The Power of Friendship is more important than winning or losing, this is likely deliberate. | |

Shown Their Work: The movie mirrors the first episode with a great deal of care. The English version in particular is swimming in nostalgia, with exact dialog lifted from the 4 Kids dub. | |
