History Trivia / PokemonGenesectAndTheLegendAwakened

* IKnewIt: Sort of - due to the similarities between Genesect and Mewtwo (especially its animé counterpart), many fans believed that if Genesect got a movie or otherwise significant representation in the animé, Mewtwo would return to fight it. In the end, they were half-right - they got '''''a''''' Mewtwo, [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute but not the one they wanted]].

** The Genesect Army attacking New Talk City itself, causing large scale destruction as civilians flee and Water-type Pokémon try to quench the ensuing blazes.

* CreatorCameo: Voice director Tom Wayland as the Fire Drive Genosect in the dub.
* CrossRegionalVoiceActing: Creator/YukoMinaguchi as the Chill[=/=]Ice Drive Genosect in the dub. It was recorded during her time in New York.

* ExiledFromContinuity: [[https://www.pokebeach.com/2019/07/mewtwo-strikes-back-evolution-impressions-changes-and-sequels According to]] ''Anime/MewtwoStrikesBackEvolution'' producer Hidenaga Katakami, this is ultimately why this movie used a different Mewtwo; the rights to the original Mewtwo are owned by Creator/TakeshiShudo's estate, which is also likely why said character scarcely appeared after Shudo left the series.

* ArtistDisillusionment: Reportedly, the movie's scriptwriter is ''not'' taking kindly to questions about [[FanNickname Newtwo]].

* FanNickname: The Mewtwo in this movie is referred to by fans as "Femtwo", "Newtwo" or "[[RepetitiveName Mewtwotwo]]" to distinguish ''her'' from the original.

* {{Jossed}}: Even after the movie was released and all was said and done, a few fans thought that Mewtwo's new form must be Psychic/[[TheFairFolk Fairy-type]], explaining its feminine voice and personality to a minimal extent. Turns out, Mega Mewtwo Y is pure Psychic.

* CrossRegionalVoiceActing: Creator/YukoMinaguchi as the Ice Drive Genosect in the dub. It was recorded during her time in New York.
