As far as I know, from various leaks that appeared before the Gen VIII reveal, with some of them getting at least one thing right (one was even made by a member of this forums). Before that, I don't know.
Not sure how possible is the first one, although I feel it's pretty low since they changed so few things (for example, they kept Donphan and the New Island trainers' have exactly the same Pokémon as before). But on the second one, well, that would be crappy foreshadowing in my opinion.
If the manga is any indication, then I doubt it.
EDIT: To explain myself better, aside from the circumstances in which the armor got destroyed, the armor gets destroyed at more or less the same point in the story as the original one, and even had the same role (restraining Mewtwo), so I doubt...
I was talking about certain aspects, like the Pokémon that used the Masked Marauder being similar to Shadow Pokémon and the fact that he could snag Pokémon. The Outskirt Stand is also similar to a place in the movie.
Well, seeing how Celebi can time travel I always assumed they were the same Celebi but from different points in time. Doesn't take away that it actually is a Deus ex Machina. On the other hand, the movie might have inspired Pokémon Colosseum and XD, so that's a point in favor for me.
In my opinion, Brock was the one that ended up looking the worst. At least the Pokémon models are alright (and not made by someone that likes nightmare fuel). Sad that it looks like a 1:1 remake, since they could have done some changes, like replacing the New Island Trainers' Pokémon. I'm kinda...
If I recall correctly, they kept them because they "thought they were funny". In fact, I still remember Mew's explanation of Mew's origin thanks to those errors.
