Out of all the projects 4Kids handled during its tenure with the "Pokémon" franchise this is their most faithful adaptation. The story is about Ash Ketchum and his friends who discover a festival and a magician named Butler intent on reviving Jirachi. A wishing Pokémon, but unbeknownst to them Butler was once a scientist for Team Magma and plans to resurrect Groudon using the energy from Jirachi's body. But, when it turns out to be an evil manifestation that drains all life from the Earth Ash, Pikachu and Max must save the day. With a script by executive producer Norman J. Grossfeld and all of its original music intact it truly shines as the Magnus opus of the 4Kids era of "Pokémon"

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

I liked the animation and art style. It was a fun experience, not as grandiose location as the previous one but still fun nonetheless. Story was a bit confusing as usual.

You miss the presence of classic characters like Brock or Misty, and their replacements, May and Max, get involved in really annoying situations. [Full review in Spanish]
