Amazon.com:
Pokémon scored an immediate hit when it debuted on American TV in 1995: Adapted from a Gameboy game created by Satoshi Sajiri, the diminutive 'pocket monsters' spawned a multibillion dollar franchise on both sides of the Pacific. The initial mania died down after a few years, but the games and the animated series and features have remained popular. Although it's unabashedly product-based and overly cute at times, Pokémon remains an agreeable children's entertainment that stresses friendship, perseverance, and good sportsmanship. The first broadcast season introduces the main characters and follows them through first part of the game in its original Red and Blue versions. Aspiring Pokémon trainer Ash Ketchum must establish a bond with Pikachu, the ultra-cute, but initially recalcitrant 'electric mouse.' He leaves his home in Pallet Town and quickly befriends fellow-trainers Misty and Brock. As the trio wanders through forests and towns, Ash begins collecting Pokémon and fighting other trainers. (The fights are very tame: Pokémon faint when they're exhausted, but are never injured or killed.) The three friends also outwit inept comic villains of Team Rocket, Jesse, James, and Meowth. Ash gradually matures through his experiences: In episode 20, he learns self-sacrifice when he allows Butterfree, the first Pokémon he caught and trained, to find a mate and depart for their nesting grounds. The original motto, Pokémon Getto Daze! (Let's Get Pokémon!) became 'Gotta Catch 'Em All!' and many fans are still trying to do just that, although the initial number of 151 Pokémon, has more than tripled over the years. (Unrated, suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Rating:  - The first DVD box set for the first season of Pokemon
This is the first DVD box set for the first season of Pokemon, and it contains the first twenty-six episodes of the series. I was rather disappointed that only one extra was included with this box set (the "Pokerap"), and that it appeared on all three discs in the set. It was also disappointing that this extra cannot be accessed through the main menu; you need to either watch the disc in its entirety in order to view it, or select the last episode on the disc and use the "skip" button to get to ...

Rating:  - It's getting very, very old!!
First my reaction to Pokemon, I though it was a neat, cool, and nice idea to bring this to TV. Others' reactions, Pokemon got so much hype (Especially in Japan) when it was released I decided to buy this. Every episode, EVERY episode, had questions like "What happened" or "What was that" it was so annoying. Then everytime thery spot a new Pokemon they need to take out their Pokedex and it gives them info and you can hear that terrible jingle in the backround. The characters are somewhat enjoyable ...

Rating: - Good for nostalgia, but that's about it.
I enjoyed watching Pokemon when I was growing up, and so when they released the box set I had to get it. Unfortunately, Viz Media doesn't quite live up to the anime DVD standards set by other companies. The overall lack of quality was really disappointing.
- The cases themselves feel really flimsy and weak. My first thought when I touched them was "bootleg." The box art is colorful but really kind of plain. It just didn't look as polished and professional as other anime DVDs, which was ... Read More
