It was so great seeing Misty again!!! I love how she met May & Max Also Misty's interactions with May were good given circumstances in which they met with point of episodes which were great to me not being bonding betwen characters. They became good friends with May admiring her and her skills. In the original version when May first saw Misty she said " I've been wanting to meet you for so long!" and When Misty did her Brock ear pulling again May said "Kasumi's incredible" LOL.
Seeing Misty again was awesome, she's one of my characters and it's horrible that she's been ditched just because May had to advertise Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire games. Togepi is so cute! Brock fell in love again, which is awesome! The idea of the Mirage Kingdom and worshipping Togepi was original and nice. 10/10.
What a great episode. Animation wise, it was one of Iwane's best.
I would like to have seen more of an examination of Misty's effect on the group. It bothered me that Misty referred to them as "Ash, you guys!", grouping Brock with them. I guess the five years of traveling together wasn't enough to garner Brock a mention...
Hanson was a breath of fresh air, and the TRio's terrible Russian accents made my day.
I found this just awful.
I suspected I wasn't going to like it as soon as I saw Kasumi's shadow. I knew for sure when the team was dragged into the random togepi kingdom =/
I would have said Kasumi's return wasn't so bad if it wasn't for the fact since this episode Masato started doing the 'pull Takeshi away' gag...
^ Yeah, Max pulling Brock's ear away was pretty stupid.
I liked this episode though I think it would've been better if it were later in the Hoenn saga. The princess didn't strike me to be much older than Misty but I suppose that she is considering that Brock attempted to hit on her.

I thought this was a great episode. Misty returning for this two-part was a stoke of genius and I loved the whole theme surrounding the Mirage Kingdom and Togepi. It was great to see a antagonist too what it even made it the more interesting. Definitely a very good mini-arc in the Advanced Series.
