Summary: Pikachu loves ketchup!
Review: How could anyone question the greatness of this video? Snorlax -- this guy was simply born to be a star. In his first major role, he explodes onto the Pokemon scene with an Oscar-worthy performance. Never has anyone captured the art of napping so beautifully, so evocatively as this large fellow. Snorlax possesses a keen understanding of the concept of laziness that is rivaled by none. His eyes closed, his face displaying an eternally peaceful expression -- I was moved like never before.

The greatness of Snorlax is one that can not be explained in a mere paragraph, so I will say only this: Watching this video once is not enough. You and your family will want to relive the experience of sleeping with your friend Snorlax time and time again.

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: Errrrr....It's kinda strange...
Review: Pokemon is NOT one of the best movies ever created. It's also not the best animation, either. First off, it doesn't make any sense. The characters say that "fighting is a lot different than battling. Sure, you try to win but you don't try to beat each other." Uhhhh...okay, that didn't make a thread of sense...
Next: ANIMATION. The characters move jerky and they always seem to have a huge drop of water on their forehead. Not the greatest.
The wacko hairstyles of some of the characters are always worth a laugh. One guy's hair looked like a hairsprayed pine cone that was dyed banana yellow. Another guy looked like he had a hairy brown pancake on his head.
Pokemon is good for little kids, but if you just want to watch a dorky movie, get this.

Summary: Pikachu loves ketchup!
Review: The episode "Showdown in Dark City" is great! Pikachu really likes his bottle of ketchup! It's one of the cutest things I've ever seen! I'll buy this tape just so that I can see Pikachu and the ketchup!
The other episodes are good(eevee is really cute, too!), but the ketchup is the deciding factor for me!

Summary: 3 Great Episodes of Pokémon
Review: This Pokémon tape contains three of my all time favorite episodes. First it is "The Battling Eevee Brothers". Ash, Misty, and Brock meet trainers at Stone Town, of course Team Rocket shows to add some excitement and try to steal all the evolved Pokémon. Next in "Wake Up Snorlax" Ash and co. must wake up a Snorlax that is blocking a town's water supply. Then in "Showdown At Dark City" the group meets feuding gyms fighting over who gets to be an official gym. There is a lot of battling and Pikachu seems to really enjoy his ketchup. Overall the episodes are great and filled with tons of excitement and lots of laughs. Pikachu is so cute you will wish you owned one. Pokémon is the probably the best anime out there right now.
