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

Rating: - Pokemon season 1 Volume 3
If you (like my ten-year-old son and I) enjoy Pokemon video games, cards and movies, this is for you; this DVD is the third and final collection of the first year of the fantastically-popular Pokemon TV show that first aired in 1999 or so. Find out why james is such a dweeb- delightin Meowth's story - find out what happened to Jesse on Doll Day! This also includes a visit to Santa's polar workshop by Ash, Misty and Brock! All in all, a great investment for Pokemon fans!

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 shocking ... Read More
