Pokémon: Indigo League - Season 1 (Episodes 27-53)

Disclaimer: This review contains potential spoilers.Indigo League Part 2, like its predecessor, comes with pretty nice box art. The heads at PUSA's marketing department decided to pay homage to Team Rocket this time around, which is refreshing since TR rarely gets featured on box art even though they play a prominent role in the series. That said, considering that Weezing and Arbok debut together in 'Dig Those Diglett,' it's odd that they went with Koffing and Ekans on the cover (Amazon's product image for the box art isn't up-to-date as of writing this review).Plot-wise, Ash obtains only one badge in this second boxed set, but that doesn't mean that the season slows down one bit. On the contrary, significant series development occurs in these 26 episodes. For one, 'Pikachu's Goodbye' cements Ash and Pikachu's enduring bond with each other. Other highlights include the lovable Jigglypuff's first appearance on the show - a Pokémon that quickly gained a fan cult-status and many repeated appearances in the episodes to follow. There's also the infamous arranged marriage episode involving James - I'll leave it at that.For the price it's going for on Amazon, this is not a bad deal if you like to re-watch the older episodes of Pokémon for nostalgia's sake.

If you want to collect some or all of the pokemon anime episodes on dvd, then here is a comprehensive guide that will help explain the progression of the pokemon series and the current availability in box set form.Season 1: Indigo League (available in 3 dvd box sets, 79 episodes)Season 2: Adventures in the Orange Islands (1 dvd box set, 35 episodes)Season 3: The Johto Journeys (*no box set available, 41 episodes)Season 4: Johto League Champions (*no box set available, 52 episodes)Season 5: Master Quests (2 dvd box sets, 64 episodes)Season 6: Advanced (2 dvd box sets, 40 episodes)Season 7: Advanced Challenge (*no box set available, 52 episodes)Season 8: Advanced Battle (*no box set available, 54 episodes)Season 9: Battle Frontier (2 dvd box sets, 47 episodes)Season 10: Diamond and Pearl (2 dvd box sets, 51 episodes)Season 11: D/P Battle Dimension (tba)Season 12 D/P Platinum (tba)* = can be found on vhs and single disc dvd containing 3-6 episodes ea.

Picked up the first 2 box sets for my 2 year old son. These shows used to be my daughter's favorites back in the day (she is 16 now). We played a couple of her old VHS tapes for the little one and he was quite taken. So I turned around a bought him the box sets so he could watch more than the 9 episodes we have on tape. Each set has 3 discs containing around 10 episodes or so on each, which I consider a pretty good value for 30 bucks or so. I will be getting the 3rd set soon.My son likes all of the little creatures and the happy-go-lucky characters on the show. And he is a big fan of the "Poke-Rap" song at the end of each disc.

I don't want to repeat anyone else, so I'll just add some more information. Episodes not featured on this boxset, which I think is a shame, are 'The Legend of Dratini', 'Electric Solider Porygon', 'Princess Versus Princess', and 'The Purr-fect Hero'. Other than that, this is a fine looking boxset featuring wonderful episodes as good as Season 1 Part 1.Like a previous reviewer had stated, you will notice that Jesse lost a Lickitung, but the episode where she caught one is not featured on this boxset. The same goes for James, with his Victreebel. I just wonder, are they ever gonna release the banned episodes on DVD? I sure hope so. They may be looked down upon, for whatever reason(s), but they are still Pokemon. It's fair and sensible to get the entire story.

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!

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.

Im still a huge Pokemon fan , so I still purchase Pokemon products from the figures to the show and movies . Dont have any of the games so I mainly stay to the series and figure line of Pokemon and all their products are well made and amazing . 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 .
