|The movie showcases the consequences with the concept of playing God where the main antagonist Mewtwo, a clone, was shown to be disturbed at the revelation that he may have only been created to be the purposes of being a tool (with the message being more pronounced in the Japanese version due to religious censorship during dubbing). It also promotes the idea of self-worth and how the circumstances of one's birth don't matter so much as they try to push good, with Mewtwo ultimately being reformed upon learning this message. It also has an anti-cloning message, due to Mewtwo's aforementioned disturbance at his origins.

|As implied by the title, it promotes the concept of individualism, at least in the English Dub. In addition, the character of Misty proceeds to risk her life to save Ash when he was nearly killed nearing the climax (with the Japanese version making a bit more blatant on the motivation by stating to Melody that "[Ash] is [her] burden."). The ending theme was famously quoted by [[Herman Cain]] during the 2012 Presidential Primaries.

|Has a pro-family message, as the main antagonist's motives were to regain her family due to her father disappearing during his research for the Unown and her mother being implied to have been hospitalized, with her motives being treated sympathetically and tragically in the storyline, and Ash spends his time trying to find and rescue his mom, Delia Ketchum, after she ended up abducted by Entei. The Entei also proceeds to sacrifice himself late in the movie to stop the Unown from wreaking further havoc.
