Product Description Pokemon Season 1: Indigo League Part 3Enjoy the Pokémon story from the beginning! Meet our hero, Ash, in his hometown of Pallet Town where boys and girls are encouraged to begin their Pokémon journeys! Join the Indigo League in these 26 episodes from Season 1 of Pokémon!]]> .com As the first season of Pokémon concludes, Ash Ketcham and his friends Misty and Brock stop in some curious places en route to Indigo Stadium for the Pokémon League Tournament: Santa Claus' workshop, a movie set, a surfing beach, the ruined city of Pokémopolis, and Hollywood. The problem is that Ash should be training for his League matches, instead of allowing himself to be distracted. He hasn't been working as hard as he should, and his Charizard won't obey him most of the time. But Ash remains supremely self-confident, pointing out that he's made it to the Tournament, the Pokémon Trainer's equivalent of the Olympics. During his first matches, Misty and Brock coach from the sidelines--when Brock isn't chasing every pretty girl in sight. Professor Oak offers additional counseling from Pallet Town, and sends Ash the exotic Pokémon he needs. Gary, Prof. Oak's cocky grandson, is defeated early in the Tournament, and takes it badly. Team Rocket's comic villainy produces the usual disastrous results--until Jessie and James discover they're actually good at selling souvenirs and fast food. Meowth is appalled at the prospect of their going straight. Ash gains a real friend in fellow-trainer Richie. Although they eventually lose their matches, Ash and Richie learn to accept defeat gracefully, and they agree to redouble their efforts to become great Pokémon trainers. Those aren't bad messages for a children's show. (Rated A, all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Part 3: The Box Set to End all Box Sets (in Kanto)
Disclaimer: This review contains potential spoilers.We've followed Ash for two box sets, and now we're in the home stretch. Ash has all eight badges needed to finally enter the Pokémon League! While fans will undoubtedly enjoy the League episodes, Ash and friends have a lot of other amazing adventures together before getting to that point. With that in mind, 'Holiday Hi-Jynx' is my absolute favorite from this set. After all, no self-respecting anime is complete without a feel-good Christmas special. 'The Misty Mermaid' is also a great episode that centers around teamwork and family.Again, it's a bit disappointing that PUSA didn't include any special disc features, but having the episodes themselves is worth the price alone. Also, the box art features a lot of Ash's Pokémon which is always a plus (though while I can understand the inclusion of Raichu, the choice to include Machop is certainly interesting to say the least).

Just don't hit "skip" or "Next chapter" during the intro and you're fine though.
Was extremely excited to see this finally get released on DVD. No problems to speak of and the show is exactly as I remember it. One issue, of a technical nature (perhaps fixed on newer pressings?) is that hitting "next chapter" during the intro theme will take you back to the start of the first episode on the disc rather than the start of the episode you're supposed to be on. I guess it's a coding issue that there's only one Intro on the disc and it jumps back to that, then back to the episode it's supposed to be on. Just don't hit "skip" or "Next chapter" during the intro and you're fine though.

Very much pleased
I have been an avid pokemon fan since childhood. I've definitely been craving some sort of compilation of episodes that I could watch where ever and whenever I want. So, when I stumbled across this box set, I was super excited. So, I coughed up the money. My package arrived promptly (as fast as a super saver shipping does...5 DAYS!!...that's another story). No, the video quality isn't crystal clear HD, but I think people forget that these episodes were made in 90's...NOTHING WAS IN HD. From what I can recall, the video quality remains true to it's original form, and I enjoy that about this box set. It reminds me how and why I fell in love with the series. The ONLY problems I encountered was that in one or two of the box sets (I purchases vol. 1-3 all at the same time, but I didn't want to write an individual review for each one)two of the episodes are out of order. (SPOILER ALERT): In one episode Ash's charmeleon evolves to a charizard, but in a future episode Ash's still has a charmander...weird. Also, there is an episode where Jessie (from team rocket) has a lickitung, but the previous episodes didn't explain how she obtained lickitung. Originally, I thought she might have caught it in the banned episode (not included in this box set), but a few episodes past this one, we actually see Jessie capturing lickitung...again, weird. Overall, I am happy with my purchase, and I'd recommend this box set to anyone who enjoys pokemon just as much as I still do.

Its Pokemon , its funa and still Lovable .I collect the Pokemon series so having season one of Pokemon is a must for all fans . Watching it brought back great memories of when Pokemon first started .

Love this show!
Great, great, great! It includes the karaoke songs at the end of the episodes. Although I am confused that two episodes were out of order. The Christmas episode with Jynx (never knew that existed) and the Snow In episode where Ash and his pokemon separate from Brock and Misty in a snow storm. Apart from these two episodes being out of order, this DVD is awesome!

no problems whatsoever
This did take a while to ship but I still got it a few days earlier than expected. I'm super happy that you can still buy the old school pokemon shows. My son loves pokemon but I'm not a fan of the new stuff. It's most def not nearly as creative as the originals. So now my kids can watch the same show I did growing up and I can answer most q's that they have. I would recommend getting the complete 1st season along with the Adventures on the Orange Islands box set. That's a total of 12 dvds! So your kids will have something new to watch for a while.

If you loved Pokemon As a Kid, You Will Love This!
I had the Pokemon games as a kid and was feeling a little nostalgic. I ordered this series and I absolutely loved it. It definitely brings back memories, and it is a great series for teaching kids the important of friendship, trust, and learning from your mistakes. I hope that future generations of young children watch this and learn the way we did.

Loved it
I ordered this and the two other parts at the same time and i was not disappointed at all. I read about people have many problems with them such as replaying the first episode and bad voicing and everything, saying they ripped them straight off the VHS. Well i'm here to give credit where credit is due. i've loved Pokemon ever since i was 5 when i first got Pokemon Yellow Version for my gameboy Color and i loved the first two seasons (Indigo League and Johto Journeys). After the first two season it sucks so i'm waiting for Johto Journey's to come out on DVD but aside from that, if you love pokemon and miss the classics, Pokemon: Indigo League - Season One, Part 1, 2, and 3 are a must have!

Nothing like reliving your childhood :)
I think for most people born in the late 80s to early 90s Pokemon was a strong part of growing up. This is why I felt I had to buy myself the first season. The dvds come in a nice box and contain the last part of season 1. Its a shame they didn't just do a box set with all the first season and even more of a shame that they never released the first season at all in the UK, but I guess thats just how it goes. Delivery took just over a week and the item was well packaged. I would definitely recommend this box set for any keen Pokemon fan.

Some of The Best Pokemon Action in History
From Cinnabar Island all the way to The Pokemon League Competition. Some of my favourite moments in Pokemon history are featured in this Boxset such as Krabby and Muk's first ever battles, Ash's 7th and 8th Gym battles and Meowth's back story.
