I really enjoyed this Pokemon special.

The plot was interesting and the art and music was nice.

I found Domino an annoying character but I was shocked when I found out she was working for Team rocket.

Tips never trust MAL pokemon anime scores cause all of them will suck. For the main audience they might but for people who watch Pokemon they are not bad.

Like this for example, MewTwo returns was amazing! but it has a score of 7.14!

Great special. Formulaic with some plot holes but it works in a feel-good way, and the moral was excellent. Don't let others' judgments of you reflect on you. It actually helped me out today to hear this. I also really liked seeing the Pokemon as the main characters, especially Meowth.

Surprisingly pretty good movie (and sequel) for it not being a main movie.
Shame a lot of people don't know about it (considering the amount of members = halved compared to the first 4 movies)

Definitely a well deserved followup to the first movie and worth the watch.

This is my second time watching this special, for many years I never knew this existed not in till I was an adult. I was surprised about this special seeing an after story of the events from the first film. I watched it DUB the first time in my early 20's and I did not like it. I think the DUB is bad but now watching this after I finished a re-watch of the first film in SUB and then seeing this in SUB to it really dose a good job telling story for what became of Mewtwo and the other Pokémon like him. The focus on Mewtwo and the other Pokémon their and the many others that came to help with the small amount of time spent With the gang and having Ash came and help him out in the end is what really made this special good to me.
P.S The Pikachu balloon in the end was great to see.
