Summary: The king of Kids' WB! Watch out for killer bees!
Review: Even though Nintendo Power will no longer sell the Pokemon comics any more, I'm going to love this volume just like you told me. They contain the following:

Gettin' the Bugs Out: Featuring a battle with the Azalea Town Gym Leader, Bugsy. And we all know who really hates bug-type Pokemon. By the way, back in the G/S versions of the game, Bugsy used Metapod, Kakuna, and Scyther did he?

A Farfetch'd Tale: Featuring an old Pokemon called Farfetch'd. A little boy has lost his Farfetch'd and Team Rocket is trying to catch it so they can sell the poor thing for money to buy food. Now who would play such a dirty trick in making money?

Tricks of the Trade: Featuring a strange new Pokemon called Wobbuffet from, er, Pokemon Gold and Silver. There's this big trading thing going on and there is a boy who wants to trade away his Wobbuffet. But the way, Jessie accidentally traded Lickitung for Wobbuffet. What a goofball.

Now, thank you all once again on your cooperation on what to rank, and good luck to all you Pokemon trainers out there. For Volume 11 and Volume 12, I will be seeing you all in January 2002. But be careful with those thieves who try to steal items from you.

Review: Even though the Nintendo Power Magazine type people will no longer be selling Pokemon TV Animation type Comics any longer, I will be adoring this video just like all of you fellow ... viewers have been telling little old me. Oh, wait a second, did Nintendo Power Magazine really ever sell those comics? Oh well, here are the episodes in this video:
Gettin' the Bugs Out: Featuring a battle with the Azalea Town Gym Leader, Bugsy. And we all know who really hates bug-type Pokemon...Funny, Funny, Funny!
A Farfetch'd Tale: Featuring an old Pokemon called Farfetch'd. A little boy has lost his Farfetch'd and Team Rocket is trying to catch it so they can sell the poor thing for money to buy food. Poor Farfetch'd :(
Tricks of the Trade: Featuring a strange new Pokemon called Wobbuffet from, er, Pokemon Gold and Silver. There's this big trading thing going on and there is a boy who wants to trade away his Wobbuffet.
Now, thank you all once again on your cooperation on what to rank, and good luck to all you Pokemon trainers out there. For Volume 11 and Volume 12, I will be seeing you all in January of the year 2002.

Summary: Enjoyable series but too expensive
Review: Pokémon is the story about Ash Ketchum and his friends, Misty Williams and Brock Harrison. Ash's goal is to become a Pokémon Master. Misty's goal is to be "the best at everything" but, more specifically, a Water Pokémon Master. Brock's goal is to be the world's best Pokémon breeder. Pokémon are the animals that inhabit their world. They come in many different species (mouse, cat, dog, etc.) and types (electric, grass, water, fire, etc.). Each Pokémon trainer trains his or her Pokémon to battle other Pokémon and win badges to compete in Pokémon Leagues. Ash, Misty, and Brock must deal with Jessie, James, and Meowth of the evil Team Rocket, who want to steal Ash's first Pokémon, Pikachu, and usually other Pokémon as well. This Japanese animation series is an advertisement for the Pokémon video games, and the episodes' plots are usually simple, but this is actually an enjoyable series. Common themes are friendship, not giving up, parting ways with a dear friend, and other good morals. Parents and guardians that are concerned about the violence need not worry. Yes, the kids have their pets fight each other, but they also must learn to take care of and love their pets. Girls will find a strong female role model in Misty. Overall, this is a fun, simple, warm-hearted, rather repetitive series. However, despite how much I like the anime, the DVDs are not worth your money. Each episode is probably less than twenty minutes long, and there are only three episodes on each DVD. You would be paying the price of this DVD for around one hour of Pokémon. That's ridiculous. They don't even include the Japanese vocal tracks with English subtitles or the fun music videos from the TV airings. You can rent these same English-dubbed episodes on VHS. If you really want this series on DVD, my advice to you is to buy the movies and the special, "Mewtwo Returns", and wait for box sets of the series.

Summary: Britain is isolated from new Pokemon stuff...
Review: So I was overjoyed to be able to get Johto videos. Johto episodes are only on once a week. At seven in the morning on Sunday, and by the time you look round the episode's finished and you have to wait another week.

I like battles most, so I choose videos with Gym battles in them, like this one and Flying Ace video. With the books about them, and screenshots from the episode, it makes them impossible to miss! I'll certainly wait two weeks for this chance.

I hope I'll enjoy it. Reviews sound good, too.
