Posted by: Pokemon in Pokemon DVD
Pokemon - The Johto Journeys - A Brand New World (Vol. 39) Taken on its own terms, Pok mon is an agreeable if somewhat cutesy children’s entertainment that emphasizes friendship, perseverance, and good sportsmanship. These new adventures (the third television series) take Ash, Misty, and Brock to the land of Johto, where they encounter new Pok mon and people, including Professor Elm, a former student of Professor Oak. (Professor Elm gives first-time trainers their initial Pok mon in Johto.) In “The Double Trouble Header,” Ash is challenged by Casey, a novice trainer, after he dismisses her favorite baseball team. The comic villains Team Rocket (Jessie, James, and Meowth) trick Casey into demanding a rematch so they can kidnap Pikachu and Chikorita. When Team Rocket’s scheme inevitably backfires, Ash and Casey part as friends. Woodruff the Forest Ranger offers a lesson in ecology in “A Sappy Ending.” Team Rocket has built a robot to collect the sweet tree sap several types of Pok mon live on, upsetting the ecological balance of the local forest. Ash, Misty, and Brock help Woodruff route the villains and acquire a Heracross as a bonus. Suitable for all ages. –Charles Solomon
Customer Review: Brock is back and the gang see a new pokemon!
Ash, Misty,and Brock start on the Johto League. In the first episode, the gang helps Officer Jenny get a stolen Totodile back before the trainer comes to pick it up. In the second episode, Ash teaches a baseball-pokemon trainer that being friends with your pokemon isn’t just bossing them around. And in the third episode the Pincher start invading the Hercross forest.
Customer Review: You Got Your Poke, You Got Your Mon
My brother and his friends like this show so badly, they have the pokemon cards, why they even saw the movies, so I give it 5 stars.
