Customer Reviews of Pokemon Season 1 Box Set - Indigo League
As good as cartoons get This is a great first season to a great program that became a cultural institution. The first season of Pokemon, dubbed the "Indigo League", is available on DVD for the first time as a packaged season. Though the extras are scant (and if not for the extended "Poke-rap" would be non-existent) it does include many now-famous Pokemon episodes. It's also guaranteed to bring back memories of the early days, before the mass commercialization when the product was still new and interesting (though the series has been reinvigorated with the excellent "Diamond and Pearl" game). <

As Seen on T.V.
The series has aged very, very well, much better than I expected. The bad puns and lame jokes are excellent, and the main characters, Ash, Misty, and Brock, are as enjoyable as ever. However, this is not a review of the Pokemon television show. This is a review of the dvd release of the Pokemon television show.

>This box set does not actually contain season one. More accurately, it contains the first third of season one, the "first" 26 episodes of the approximately 80 episodes of the Indigo League. The quotes are there because the lost/banned episode, "Beauty and the Beach", is not included. Which is, to say the least, somewhat odd. I thought this release was for twentysomethings like me who watched the show when they were ten, as opposed to children whose mothers would be offended by James' breasts.

>Season semantics and aborted episodes aside, this is an extremely bare bones release. You are buying exactly what you saw on TV. There is nothing but the 26 episodes in dubbed english. No japanese audio with subtitles. I am sorry anime nerds, you cannot enjoy the "correct" voices. Personally, I wanted to know what the original lame jokes were. (Cowterpie, what?) There are actually no subtitles whatsoever, not even english subtitles of the english dub. I like putting on subtitles so I don't miss any dialogue due to laughing and such, so this was another disappointment.

>The final disappointment is the quality. My inital hypothesis was that they directly transfered some home vhs recordings to dvd. However, that is not the case. For one, the audio quality is too consistent, at least within individual episodes. Some are slightly louder/softer than others. The difference is not dramatic, just noticable and annoying. For two, they actually made the video WORSE in some places. Routinely, when there would be flashing lights, or indeed fast animation of any kind, the frame rate drops to awful. Not just a little slower to reduce seisure risk, but like 2 frames per second. Of course, it may always have been that bad and I just don't remember it. It's still painful to watch, though.

>In summary, ViZ should be ashamed of themselves for releasing such a poor, half-baked collection. (The full Pokerap is on each disc, but there isn't even a menu option to play it!) The box set contains the first 26 episodes of the Pokemon anime released in america. The set fails so hard on all the details that I wonder how I paid money for it, but again, the box set contains the first 26 episodes of the Pokemon anime released in america.

Pokemon Maniac
I have to admit, Pokemon rules! I was getting a reward so I picked this. I loved it, Pikachu, Ash, Misty , everything! It was one of my best rewards ever! What I do not like is if you want to skip a little bit foward to skip the theme song, it goes back to the episode you just saw and Pilup my favorite Pokemon ever is not is this season! Still I absolutly LOVE this set! Go Pikachu!
