Trivia

  • The prologue for this movie shows the main legendary Pokémon from the first five movies. It shows Mewtwo, Lugia, Entei, Celebi, Latios, and Latias. However Mew, the legendary birds, and Suicune were absent.
  • This is the first Pokémon movie to go directly to video for its American release.
  • The Wishing Star May bought resembles a Native American Dreamcatcher.
  • Butler's sole purpose of being a magician is to find a boy who should be chosen to protect Jirachi for the nights it stayed awake.
  • The ending song, Make a Wish, is the first time that the U.S. dub left the original Japanese lyrics preformed by Asuca Hayashi. It was also combined with English lyrics preformed by Cindy Mizelle.
  • This movie manifests itself in the form of a cameo in Pokémon Colosseum. The trainer is named Rider Zalla, and owns a Jirachi (the star), Flygon, Absol (wild Pokémon befriended during the movie), Kirlia, Mightyena, and a Dusclops (Pokémon belonging to Butler). Interestingly enough, she (possibly a reference to Max's motherly role for Jirachi, or Diane, as the trainer also has blonde hair) can be found as the 77th trainer on Battle Mode's Single Battle Mount Battle. Before battle, as says "Try to keep up with my pace!", and after losing, she says, "You left me in your dust!"
  • Also, in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the two Ace Trainers that appear on the southernmost part of route 229 have their teams based on those of Butler and Diane. In fact, in the Japanese version, they are named as them, but the English translation team did not notice the relation to the movie characters.
  • Two of the main non-Legendary Pokémon of the movie, Absol and Flygon, will eventually both be obtained by Drew and then used to battle May in the Kanto Grand Festival.
  • Even though Treecko and Mudkip appear on the box cover, they never even appear in the movie. In fact, out of all their Pokémon, Pikachu and Torchic were the only two to appear although they did appear in the end during the beach scene.
  • When traveling to Forina, Advance Adventure is played in the background and on the DVD main menu.
  • This is the last Pokémon movie released to UK DVD.
  • This is the only Advanced Generation movie in which Munchlax does not appear.
  • This was the last movie that Tomiko Suzuki lent her voice. Tomiko died of a heart attack a week and a half before the cinema release.

Errors

Dub edits

  • In the beginning, Ash says the person who last comes up the hill is a Slowpoke (May calls Max a Slowbro). However, in most translations from English, the joke was eliminated, replacing "slow" to each language's response.
  • In the dub when Ash is talking with Max, he makes a reference to Misty, though not by name.
