Summary: Pokemon-Mystery of Mt. Moon rules!
Review: I love Pokemon, and this is no exeption! Ash may not be a Pokemon master at the moment but next year you'll see! Butterfree is very cute, I loved the watershed part, and Team Rocket has their best chance of winning ever! Buy this video, you'll be glad you did.

Review: I used to hate Pokemon, but after a few episodes, i fell in love with it, including Brock! What a cutie! Kids love it, and you can't beat most of the majority can you? They need to make new ones now, that would be awsome.

Summary: The Best Anime Ever!
Review: In this video of Pokemon, you get to follow the adventures of Ash, and his friends, Misty and Brock. Along with Pikachu, the group must battle the evil Team Rocket and become the best Pokemon trainers ever. I recommend this video to everyone who loves a lot of well written dialogue, great humor, lovable characters, and astounding animation.

Summary: Cool series, disappointing anime...
Review: INTRODUCTION:
In the early-mid nineties in Japan, the Pokemon video game series was created. This series became an instant success overnight, and it's no surprise that Nintendo wanted to try their luck with the series in America. In late 1998, Nintendo ported the video games to America, as well as the animated series based on it (in America, the animated series actually arrived BEFORE the games, believe it or not!) Read on for my review of this, a DVD containing the first three episodes of the Pokemon series.

BASIC PLOT:
The basic plot of the Pokemon animated series is simple. Ash, a new Pokemon trainer, wants to become the best Pokemon collector/battler in the world. The series follows him as he finds new Pokemon, new allies, and enemies alike. On his journey he is joined by Misty, who tags along since Ash destroyed her bike, and Brock, who wants to be a Pokemon breeder. As the three travel, they frequently battle members of Team Rocket - an organization that wants to capture rare and valuable Pokemon. Most episodes of the series follow the same basic plot.

SERIES OPINIONS:
Although an amazing series of Game Boy RPGs inspired this game, the series is subpar. Every episode is pretty much the same. The crew is traveling, Team Rocket appears and says their same lines in every episode, the good guys and bad guys battle, and the good guys always cause an explosion that sends Team Rocket flying away. Also, the characters are paper thin. Most of them appear in one episode and never again. Even the main characters are pretty one-dimensional. Also, the dub gives the series too much of an "Americanized" feel. To make things worse, in America, the TV series featured Pokemon that weren't yet in any American Pokemon game, which led to hundreds of in-game rumors. The TV series also makes up several locations that aren't in the games - another big mistake. Take my advice - steer clear of this series - just play the Game Boy games instead.

DVD:
THE DVD HAS NO JAPANESE LANGUAGE TRACK!? When you do anime DVDs, it is an unwritten rule that you include both a sub and a dub, and this DVD violates that unwritten rule. Likewise, the extras are severely lacking - the Pokerap is just plain stupid. And let's not forget that DVDs cost more than VHS tapes. Take my advice - just tape these episodes off your local channel that shows the series if you want to see them that bad.

OVERALL:
Overall this was a good idea for an animated series, but it just falls flat when compared to all the other animes out there. If you want good animes that have characters that aren't paper thin, check out Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, or Gundam Wing. If you want Pokemon, just stick with the games.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ash gets his first badge, and meets his toughest challenge.
Review: It is a really good video because it showed a lot of the pokemon being used. if you think Clefary is cute, than this is your video. Samuri is a bold character, but he can act like a know it all. Anyone one who likes bug pokemon, this is your type. it has Buterfrees, Weedles, Kakunas, Metapoda, Beedrills, Pincers, ect. It is exciting and fun. I give it two thumbs up!!!

Rating: 5 stars
