* StableTimeLoop: See TimeyWimeyBall.

* TheReveal: At the end, it’s heavily implied that [[spoiler: Sam is Professor Oak]].

* BrokenAesop: The movie's DeusExMachina ending is why [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] hates the movie so much, as pointed out in his crossover review with WebVideo/ThatDudeInTheSuede. Why bother bringing up the danger of permanently wrecking the environment when they make the [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot whole thing crash and burn]] by [[spoiler: bringing the once dead Celebi back to life?]]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
-->'''Brock''': (to [[GirlOfTheWeek Diana]]) Why don't you come too, and protect us?\\
'''Misty''': Then she'd need protection. From '''you.'''
** Made even worse by the ''other'' definition of "protection."
** Most likely an accident, but for those at home who have the DVD, look at the back cover, mainly at Misty. She appears to have no pants on.
** When the Marauder blows up the hunter's camp, the hunter begs for mercy while clinging to the Marauder's...crotch. Additionally, scattered around his room are what appear to be [[TheAlcoholic empty wine bottles.]]

* ConspicuousCG: Most notably in the scene where Suicune makes its first proper appearance and with the giant twig monster Celebi creates.

* AssholeVictim: It's hard to not feel sorry for the Iron Masked Marauder after the way he treated Celebi.

* KnightofCerebus: The Iron-Masked Marauder is one of the first truly vile villains to appear in the movies. In addition to being completely devoid of redeeming qualities, he also tries several times to have [[WouldHurtAChild Ash and his friends killed]], and his actions nearly resulted in [[DisneyDeath Celebi's death]].

** Despite their similarities, their methods couldn't be more different: While the Iron Masked Marauder takes a more crueler forceful approach that sets him and Lawrence III's motives apart, Lawrence III acted no where near as cruel as The Iron Masked Marauder did.

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Celebi.]]
** BackFromTheDead: In the Japanese version, though it was changed in the dub.
** [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath Family Unfriendly Disney Death]]: It even looks like a corpse!

* GreenThumb[=/=]PsychicPowers: Celebi.

* [[INeverToldYouMyName I Never Told You His Name]]: In the final scene, the gang tells Professor Oak about their most recent adventure and Professor Oak notices Ash is unusually subdued. Ash tells him about the boy he befriended who went back to his own time and how Ash is worried they'll never meet again. Professor Oak reassures him that true friendships stand the test of time and that "I'm sure you and Sammy will be friends forever." After the video call is over, Misty realizes they never mentioned Sammy's name to the Professor...[[spoiler: Cut to Professor Oak in his lab looking through his old sketchbook and saying, "It seems like it happened only yesterday."]]

Ash, Misty and Brock see a Suicune, and Oak tells them about the legendary Pokémon. While in the woods, they see Sam, and they befriend him. Unfortunately, the Iron Masked Marauder plans to capture Celebi for himself, and he plans to [[spoiler: [[TheStarscream overthrow Giovanni in the process.]]]]
