Where does this movie fall in the episode timeline?


I'm going to watch this movie for the first time in many years, but not until I know where it is supposed to come in during the story timeline. Is it after the first season? Or what?

It's late in the Kanto league I beleve. I guess you'd call that the first season. It's after Ash got all eight gym badges, since we breifly saw Mewtwo destroy that gym in one of the episodes. Brock hasn't been replaced with Tracy yet, so it can't be too late.

I've been wondering this as well. It takes after the episode where Mewtwo destroys Team Rocket's headquarters and before they reach the orange islands to retrieve the GS ball. Maybe it might take place before Ash enters the Pokemon League because we clearly see Ash and co on the road in the movie and it took one whole episode for Ash and Co to reach the Pokemon League and between then and when they returned to Pallet town we never saw them on the road, then again there was obviously the time it took to go back from the Indigo Plato and Pallet but that took one trip I'm assuming and I'm also assuming Ash's mother and Professor Oak could have gone with them. Though it's possible it might have taken place between the time Ash left Pallet town for the GS ball and before they took the blimp. Maybe it took longer between the time Ash let Pidgeot go and to go to that shop to fill on the supplies before they entered the blimp. It could have taken place sometime during Ash's stay in Pallet before the league as there have been episodes where Ash and co have been outdoors, heck there was even an episode where they went to Hollywood. Now that I think about it I think it does take place during Ash's stay at home. Until I figure it out I think I'm gonna go with it being set during Ash's stay in Pallet. I may be wrong but doesn't really matter.

but We see Mewtwo and Giovanni battling pokemon trainers(One of them being Gary Ok which happened in Ep 61). Its at least after ep 61 not exactly sure where the movie fits in though

It's supposed to be right after the Pi-Kahuna but could technically be after Showdown at the Po-ke Corral.

I think it takes place before the Pokemon League and the Orange Islands because Brock is in this movie
