Add Continuity Reboot note
Added DiffLines:
* ContinuityReboot: Unusually, compared to "mainstream" ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', this is an ''actual'' reboot, not a SoftReboot. But it's a reboot for TheMovie adaptations, replacing the canon of the previous [[NonSerialMovie Non-Serial Movies]] that ran alongside the anime as an AlternateContinuity. As such, it starts an entirely new canon for the TheMovie adaptations (which are AlternateContinuity to the anime, anyway) from a clean slate.

** There is a distinct lack of blood when [[spoiler:Lycanroc bites into Cross’s arm]].
* CurbStompCushion: PlayedForDrama. When Charmeleon fights Incineroar, he does quite well at first, but only because Incineroar is deliberately taking the attacks so as to activate [[SuperMode Blaze]], at which point the gloves come off, and Charmeleon is subjected to one of the most brutal beatdowns in the anime’s history, which is also one of the only battles in which a Pokémon looks to be in genuine physical pain.

* ForWantOfANail: The movie diverges from the original timeline due to Ho-oh dropping a single feather. This heals Ash and Pikachu, so they don’t go to the Viridian Pokémon Center, and thus never encounter Team Rocket or destroy Misty’s bicycle. 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.

* NotSoDifferent: Ash and [[spoiler:Cross]]. In this continuity, [[AdaptationalBadass 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 [[spoiler:he wished he had chosen Bulbasaur or Squirtle from Professor Oak instead]], [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone while Pikachu is within earshot]]. This makes [[spoiler:Pikachu run off]], which Ash can’t believe because [[ItsAllAboutMe he’s the chosen one and doesn’t deserve this]], which [[spoiler:turns the Rainbow Wing black for the first time, resulting in the HighSchoolAU 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 [[WhatYouAreInTheDark even though Butterfree was willing to do it and be unhappy]], proving that he got over this. Then in the climax we learn that [[spoiler: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.]]
Added DiffLines:
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: When [[spoiler:Cross]] steals the Rainbow Wing, his heart had so much evil that Marshadow can’t purify it all, [[spoiler:and ends up corrupted by it]]. Despite this, the character responsible still winds up redeemed in the end.

Truer To The Text not mean "truer to the more recent game version". Female Butterfree in the original games has no visible difference between the genders(actually, gender was introduced as a gameplay mechanic after the original games) and- if i am remembering well, her color was used as evidence of her gender, indirectly confirming Ash's Butterfree gender.
