They needed to think of something for Mewtwo just chilling in a cave, so the movies explained that.
No, they used the show to make a sequel for the idea that people wanted to be Ash as the show became a phenomenon to fans.
The only depth was how much deeper Game Freak's pockets got.
It had nothing to do with the game's lack of depth in (or overall lack of) a story.
