New Pokemon

Pokemon - Thunder Shock (Vol. 5) Pok mon Master-in-training Ash Ketchum experiences further ups and downs, with Misty teasing him and the practical Brock advising him. “Mystery at the Lighthouse” recalls Ray Bradbury’s short story “The Fog Horn.” The single, forlorn specimen of a huge seagoing Pok mon comes to a lonely lighthouse seeking companionship, but the villains of Team Rocket drive off the unique creature before “Pok mon scholar” Bill can study it. Moving on to Vermilion City, Ash wins a Thunder Badge in a match against the local champion, whose no-holds-barred tactics have sent more than a dozen Pok mon to the hospital. Ash and Pikachu prove that speed, agility, and friendship can overcome brute strength. At their evil boss’s bidding, Team Rocket lures a crowd of Trainers onto the St. Anne ocean liner as part of a plot to seize their Pok mon. Ash leads a counterattack that defeats the bad guys, but the episode ends on an unusually ominous note, with Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu trapped in the sinking ship. Even more ominous for parents is Bill’s statement that there may be no limit to the number of Pok mon beyond the known 151. –Charles Solomon
Customer Review: Shocking
Before Pokemon Advanced this was my favorite episode. It takes place when Ash and friends (Misty and Brock) finally reach a city. Misty wants to go to a bubblebath and Brock wants to see a navigator. But Ash zips off to the gym! Finally though his friends convivnce him that the pokemon center would be a better place to crash. Pikachu is all healed, eating an apple, seeming fine, but suddenly a pidgey and ratata are rushed into the emergency room. They had been seriously hurt by the gym leader’s amazing pokemon!
Now pikachu is afraid, but they tres out the battle anyway. Ash chooses pikachu to face….raichu?! Afraid, pikachu dashes behind Ash’s leg. But it is forced to battle anyway. Raichu merely absorbs pikachu’s shocks and creams in it two moves-thundershock and thunder punch, then a totally not-needed body slam. Poor pikachu didn’t even need the third attack; it was so hurt.
The only solution was to evolve pikachu into raichu, but the little yellow pokemon refused. It threw down the stone. There went their only hope….or was there another way?
Customer Review: The perfect combination of Funny and cool!
I’ve never seen the movie it’s self,but I saw it on Kids WB once and really liked it! Although Ash lost to Lt. surge at first later he figured out Lt. Surges Raichu never learned the evasive attacks(Agility and Double team)when it was still a Pikachu so Ash’s Pikachu kept Dodging Raichu so Raichu eventually ran out of attacks and Ash’s Pikachu quicky knocked it out!!! One of the funniest things about this episode was Team Rocket was constantly cheering Ash’s Pikachu on because they knew if it could beat it’s evolved form,Raichu it would be worth stealing(not that they ever could steal it)!

I am SO happy too beable to watch the first episodes of Pokemon again! I have missed it since they updated the charactors and voices. The original Pokemon is by far the best and it doesnt HAVE to be just for kids. I grew up watching it and am now a teenager and i STILL love pokemon!

Disguise Pokemon Costume #6983 Ash Ketchum (Child Size Medium 7-8) Includes: Jumpsuit, hat, and gloves. Shoes not included. This is an officially licensed Pokemon costume.

Pokemon - Adventures on the Orange Islands Box Set The Orange Islands continuity (1999) serves as a bridge between the longer Pok mon storylines about the Indigo League (1997) and Johto League (1999) adventures. Professor Oak sends Ash, Misty and Brock to the Orange Islands to retrieve the mysterious GS Pok ball found by fellow researcher Professor Ivy. When they reach her lab, moonstruck Brock decides to stay with the Professor and her three female assistants. Ash and Misty are soon joined by Tracey, a “Pok mon Watcher” in training who sketches. After the perpetually amorous Brock, he makes a rather bland companion, although the caricatures of Groucho Marx and Clint Eastwood they encounter liven things up a bit. The characters roam aimlessly from island to island, escaping the snares of the inept Team Rocket, who stalk them in a submarine disguised as a giant Magicarp and a balloon that looks like Meowth. Ash wins the Coral Eye, Sea Ruby, Spike Shell, and Jade Star badges, which qualify him for the Orange League Tournament, where he finally learns to make his recalcitrant Charizard obey him. These stories lack a narrative arc: Ash’s battles at the various gyms don’t escalate, nor is there any sense of urgency to the mission to return the GS ball. The adventure concludes with Ash, Misty, and Tracey returning to Pallet Town, just in time to encounter the long-absent Gary. Professor Oak invites Tracey to become his assistant, so Brock, who’s been jilted by Ivy and her assistants, sets out with Ash and Misty for the Johto League. (Rated A, suitable for All Ages: minor cartoon violence. –Charles Solomon
Customer Review: A fun Pokemon summer adventure
With Pokemon now over 10 season’s old, it is hard to imagine that there was a day where there was only just 150 Pokemon.

Pokemon - Blue Version Welcome to the world of Pok mon, one filled with wild Pok mon and the people who attempt to tame them. You are Ash Ketchum, a boy on a quest to become the best Pok mon trainer in the world. Professor Oak, the leading authority on Pok mon, has given you your choice of three tame Pok mon in exchange for your helping him catalog and document every Pok mon in the world.

But to catalog a Pok mon, you have to capture it by first beating it up with one of your trained Pok mon, and then hitting it with an empty Pok Ball. As your tame Pok mon gain experience in battle, their abilities improve and they earn access to new attacks. Sometimes they even evolve into more advanced Pok mon.

Aside from capturing wild Pok mon and evolving your own, you can catalog new Pok mon by trading with another Pok mon player using either a link cable or the Game Boy Color’s infrared system. Pok mon gained through trades learn and evolve faster, and trading is the only way to capture all 151 Pok mon, since each Pok mon game (Pok mon Red, Pok mon Blue, andPok mon Yellow) has certain Pok mon missing. Of course, as a Pok mon trainer, you’ve “gotta catch ‘em all!”–150 to be exact. So if you own Blue and want to have a complete set of Pok mon, you must find a friendly Red or Yellow owner and arrange a trade.

Pok mon Blue is packed with interesting characters, an ingenious story hook, intriguing strategy, and of course plenty of cute Pokemon and it’s easy to see how it started the Pok mania that is sweeping the world. –Michael Fehlauer

Pros:

• Gameplay and strategy that’s fun for all ages
• Fantastic replay value
• Brilliant game design encourages players to meet and trade

Cons:

• Hours of looking at the Game Boy’s little screen may hurt neck
• Only 1 saved game per cartridge–2 people can’t share a single game
• No difference between Red and Blue except for distribution of Pok mon

Customer Review: Legends never die, they just fade with the passage of time…
This is one of the first two US releases of the series of games all known as Pokemon. Before release, the name was “Pocket Monsters”, but the name was shortened for reasons I do not know. Two of the rarest Pokemon in existence can only be found on the original Blue and Red versions, one being Mew, whom rumors have circulated about for ages with definitive proof only surfacing in recent years. The other one, Missingno, is avoided at all costs, as it only exists because of insufficient debugging and playtesting. This pokemon, when caught, will irrepairably corrupt your cartridge, and those your gameboy interacts with as well. To risk unpopularity with blunt honesty, I wish to strongly advise against getting a used copy for this reason. These two, the rarest and the deadliest, may be playable in the potentially inevitable expansion/sequel to Smash Brothers Brawl. Missigno’s visuals will almost certainly be inspired by fan input.
Customer Review: The Definitive Handheld Experience
This game came out some time ago, but this is my review. I have played many handheld games since this treasure. I have realized none have been as much fun as this game. It is truly the best portable game ever.

Customer Review: The king of Kids’ WB! Chika!
Once again, even though Nintendo Power will no longer sell the Pokemon comics anymore, I’m goin’ to love this volume just like you told me. They contain the following:

“The Chikorita Rescue”, featuring Chikorita, the grass-type beauty covered in a bunch of snow. He’s the smartest of the 3 starter pokemon that you can pick at the start of the game.

“Once in a Blue Moon”, featuring Quagsire, who tries to steal Ash Ketchum’s special GS Ball.

And “Whistle Stop”, featuring Ledyba, the familiar ladybug pokemon from Pokemon 2: The Movie. This episode is like becoming a coach in a sports game like football for example. When you blow the whistle, the game is about to start. It’s also used for time outs.

The reason why I’m goin’ to love this ultimate volume is because of the following:

1. It reminds me of Christmas.

2. The GS Ball is used to capture Celebi.

3. Blowing the whistle can be used for time outs or starts in certain sports games.

Once again, thank you for your cooperation on what to rank. Good luck to all pokemon trainers out there. For volume numbers 5 and 6, I’ll see ya in July 2001.

Disguise Pokemon Costume #6983 Ash Ketchum (Child Size Medium 7-8)

Pokemon Season 1 Box Set - Indigo League Pok mon 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, Pok mon 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 Pok mon 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 Pok mon and fighting other trainers. (The fights are very tame: Pok mon 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 Pok mon he caught and trained, to find a mate and depart for their nesting grounds. The original motto, Pok mon Getto Daze! (Let’s Get Pok mon!) became “Gotta Catch ‘Em All!” and many fans are still trying to do just that, although the initial number of 151 Pok mon, has more than tripled over the years. (Unrated, suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) –Charles Solomon
Customer Review: 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 after the ending credits of that episode.

Pokemon - The Johto Journeys - Fire Power (Vol. 44) Misty becomes the babysitter for a crybaby Marill, but its cry is more dangerous than most Pokemon’s attacks! And, Togepi teams up with a wayward Sentret to take control of team Rocket’s latest invention: the Arbo-Tank. Do Ash, Misty and Brock have a chance against an armored Togepi? Next, Ash and his friends arrive at the ancient home of the Charizard, but can Ash’s Charizard be admitted into the company of such high-level Pokemon? And if it can, does that mean Ash has to say good-bye to his old friend?
Customer Review: SO sad….
The best ep on this DVD has to be “Charizards burning ambition”, Its my total fave because of its so heart braking to see Ash say goodbye to his only dragon pokemon. Pokemon can always make you cry, and this ep proves it. If i could only get one pokemon dvd this would be it. “For crying outloud” Is mostly just for comedy relief. Its about when the gang meets a marill who is quite a crybaby. You shouldn’t expect much since this ep features Misty. In “Tanks alot” Togepi finds its way into Team Rockets latest invention, the “Arbo tank”. Along with a baby sentret. Its up to Ash and co to get both of them out safely. With a little help from a fellow sentret of course. Those two eps are not the best but the Charizard ep really makes it worth buying!
Customer Review: The king of Kids’ WB! Ten hut!
Even though Nintendo Power is no longer selling the Pokemon comics anymore, I’m goin’ to love this volume just like you told me. They contain the following:

“For Crying Out Loud!” featuring Marill, the aqua mouse pokemon from Pokemon The Movie’s 1 and 2. This pokemon cries a lot of times, making this episode the most hilarious of the bunch! Wah!

“Tanks a Lot!” featuring Sentret, the scout pokemon. This episode reminds me of being in the Army Nations when the soldiers shout “Ten hut!” Pretty cool huh?

And finally, “Charizard’s Burning Ambitions”, an episode where Ash Ketchum releases Charizard out of his hands. Uh oh!

The reason why I’m goin’ to love this ultimate volume is because of the following:

1. The episode “For Crying Out Loud!” reminds me of crying a lot of times when I was a kid! What a shame! But it’s fun to see Marill cry out indefinitely.

2. The episode “Tanks a Lot!” contains soldiers that look so real to me.

3. The episode “Charizard’s Burning Ambitions” is an episode where Ash Ketchum tries to get in the door. But that didn’t work!

Once again, thank you for your cooperation on what to rank. On the other hand, all of you pokemon trainers out there will want to see Marill and Sentret-they look cool, they’re very cute, and they play very important roles. So if you caught those pokemon in Pokemon Puzzle Challenge on GBC, now is your chance to see those pokemon on TV. You’ll love it! For volume numbers 7 and 8, I’ll see ya in September 2001. Good luck!

Pokemon Movie - Lucario and The Mystery of Mew Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, the eighth Pok mon movie, ranks as one of the best features in this popular franchise. Director Kunihiko Yuyama and writer Hideki Sonoda sensibly keep the adventures and threats to a scale that’s appropriate for the characters. (The first movies put the world at risk, and while Ash Ketchum is a good kid, he’s not someone who can credibly save the planet.) Ash, Brock, Max, and May journey to Cameron Palace for a tournament that celebrates the valor of Prince Aaron, who saved the realm from destruction 1,000 years ago. Ash and Pikachu win, but the mischievous Mew kidnaps Pikachu, whom he’s befriended. Prince Aaron’s Pok mon companion Lucario awakens from the victor’s staff to lead Ash and the gang to the Tree of Beginning, a mountain that is also a living entity. Ash risks his life to rescue Pikachu, proving the depth of their friendship to Lucario. The film includes lots of CG effects, most of which work well with the drawn animation: the earlier Pok mon films tended to look like two different movies spliced together.

The two-disc set also includes The Mastermind of Mirage Pok mon: A 10th Anniversary Special. In this 40-minute adventure, Dr. Yung invites Misty and Ash to take part in a special tournament on his new battle system. Yung creates formidable Mirage Pok mon from raw data, culminating in a super-version of Mewtwo, the powerful psychic Pok mon from the first features. Once again, friendship and kindness triumph over greed and arrogance, although the special ends with the words, “To be continued…” (Unrated, suitable for ages 8 and older: cartoon violence) –Charles Solomon
Customer Review: Pokemon what else is there to say
This is like all other Pokemon movies, but every Pokemon fanactic will want it and will enjoy it. My son will still pull it out every now and then and watch it.
Customer Review: Okay DVD of a pretty good movie
The movie itself is actually pretty good, with some nifty character development and some genuinely touching and funny moments. Lucario is a pretty cool character, with an extremely neat design and some cool abilities.
However, the DVD is lacking in two crucial areas: Lack of a Japanese language track, and it’s not widescreen. Having seen the widescreen version on Japanese import, the full-screen picture ruins a lot of the nice shots in this.
Come on guys, get with the program and stop with the full-screen already! Also, an option to have the Japanese voices would also be amazingly appreciated.

Pokemon - The Mystery of Mount Moon (Vol .2) Pok mon, the little high-tech toys, and the Nintendo game involving them, emerged as a pop-culture phenomenon in 1998: the TV show aired six times a week, a theatrical feature was released in 1999, and Pok mon Web sites popped up all over the Internet. These episodes of the TV series center on Ash Ketchum, an adolescent boy who aspires to become a champion Pok mon trainer. He sets out for his first tournament, accompanied by his sometimes friend, a girl named Misty, and his special pet Pok mon, Pikachu. Along the way, he defeats another boy, Samurai, in a duel and makes a valuable new friend when he challenges Brock, the local champion, while learning lessons about friendship, perseverance, and honorable play. On Moon Mountain, he discovers a fallen meteor with magical powers over the excessively cute Clefaries. Jessie and James, the Team Rocket, attempt to steal the Moon Stone, but are defeated by Ash, Misty, and Brock in a slapstick battle. Adults may have trouble keeping track of the different Pok mon without the help of a child, but the “Full-Length Pok rap” at the end of the disc lists them, an obvious attempt to stimulate the urge to collect all 150 (plus one rare collector’s Pok mon coveted by fans). –Charles Solomon

Customer Review: Getting better
As we remember from the last DVD, Ash and Misty are venturing through Viridian Forest.

Following the game, they should reach Pewter Town now, right.
Nah, not yet. Looks like we have to slow down a bit, or the show’ll be over in 30 episodes.

So, they’re still in Viridian Forest. Ash meets a pokemon trainer named Samurai (uh..), who want a fight after losing to Gary earlier. The fight turns out to be a bore-fest where Ash’s and Samurai’s Metapods harden a few dozen times. It ends with a bucnh of Beedrills kidnapping Metapod. Woo, finally rid of him. Now to get rid of Pikachu, and catch some good pokemon. Nah, Ash embarks on a rescue mission, but is attack by J&J who want Pikachu. They end up getting attacked by more Beedrills, while Metapod defend Ash. The experience evolves him into Butterfree, a pokemon even worse than Pikachu. Blah.
Well, Ash and Misty continue their journey, and reach Pewter City, where Ash decides to enter the Pokemon League. To enter, he has to travel between cities and towns, challenging the local pokemon master in a battle and win. This’ll give him a badge to brag about. Get 8 badges, and you can enter the league. Ash challenges the local master, Brock, but is easily beaten. An old man named Flint, who turns out to be Brocks father, helps Ash super-charge Pikachu making him win. Almost. Ash gets the chanse to cheat, but turns it down. Brock hands him the badge anyway, and joins him on the journey. On the way to the next town, Cerulean, Ash and co journey through Mount Moon, where they meet a scientist named Seymour, and stop Jessie and James from stealing the mysterious Moon Stone from the Clefairies, a very rare species of pokemon. The stone is supposed to evolve pokemon into otherwise unattainable forms, making it very useful for Team Rocket. Ash and co don’t succeed, however, and J&J get away with the stone. The Clefairies stop them with a bit help from Brock’s Onix, use the Moon Stone to evlve, and beat up the Rocket agents. Turns out the stone was a bit more powerful than they thought.

So, what do we have here? 3 very good episodes, each deling with a different pokemon species. The first one cover the Weedle/Kakuna/Beedrill family, then we have Brock’s pokemon, Geodude and Onix. And finally, Clefairy and Clefable.
Can’t really say much else, cept that these are among the best episodes at this point in the series, and I recommend this DVD to all fans.
