November 26, 201311 yr If you're going to ask that, you may as well also ask if the TV series are canon to the games. As far as I'm aware, yes, the movies are canon to the show. Whether or not the two are canon to the games, idk. Edited November 26, 201311 yr by Kaweebo
November 26, 201311 yr Fool. I think so. The first movie is even touched upon with episodes in the anime.
November 26, 201311 yr This is sort of iffy. I don't think the anime series has ever reference events in the movies ever since Johto. The first movie is canon to the anime series, while the second might or might not be. Whenever Ash sees a Pokemon in the anime that he has seen in a movie, he still seems to act surprised and excited. Nothing explicitly said in the anime contratdicts the movies, there has been nothing concrete to establish a movie as canon. The only exception may be the Lucario movie. The Riolu special and Spirittomb episodes in the Sinnoh series made indirect references to the Lucario movie (Pokemon the movie 9).
November 26, 201311 yr nope almost none if not all of the movies are not cannon to the series they are just movies to show off the Legendary Pokemon mostly and to make Ash somewhat of a hero in them
November 26, 201311 yr The only movies that are canon to the anime itself are the Mewtwo movies as far as I know
I've been wondering this for a while...
