What is the subtitle of Pokémon: The First Movie, the 1998 animated film centered on Mewtwo?

The subtitle of Pokémon: The First Movie is “Mewtwo Strikes Back.”

Released in Japan in 1998 and internationally beginning in 1999, the film follows Mewtwo, a genetically engineered Pokémon created from research involving Mew. Mewtwo becomes troubled by its origins and challenges Trainers to a confrontation on a remote island.

The film’s Japanese title translates as Mewtwo Strikes Back. In English-speaking markets, the full title became Pokémon: The First Movie—Mewtwo Strikes Back. It was accompanied by the short film Pikachu’s Vacation, which focuses on Pikachu and other Pokémon at a holiday resort.

The movie is often confused with later Pokémon films because several use legendary Pokémon in their titles. The Power of One is the subtitle of the second film, Pokémon 2000, while The Rise of Darkrai is the title of the tenth film. Mewtwo Strikes Back remains the first theatrical Pokémon feature.
