Pokemon - Fashion Victims (Vol. 9)

Summary: Enjoyable series but too [much]
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: Intresting......
Review: This is not in my case a very good video. It is somewhat boring. I hope the other pokemon installments are much better than this.

Summary: This tape had one of my favorite scenes but not as good.
Review: This tape was excellent, but it's still no match for the first volume. Ash gets into Celadon City and tries to get into the gym. Before then, finding a place with perfume, Misty gets all excited and runs in. Getting kicked out by the store manager, Ash heads over to the gym and gets rejected again because he doesn't like perfume. He finds Team Rocket and they help Ash be their parents and dress him up as a girl. They get inside and are taking the class when he finds Misty, Brock, and Pikachu there also. Pikachu fries Ash to a crisp and his secret idenity is revealed. Later saving the day and earning his Rainbow Badge he continues on. In another episode on the tape, Brock is searching on the special road of Pokemon fashion stores on Scissor Street searching for the special place he's been looking for. Finding the place they rush in and Misty notices a pretty Vulpix and does a bad mistake. She picks it up and Vulpix fries her head. Later learning about beauty and breeding of Pokemon and not to mention battling with Team Rocket, the four defeat them and Brock is given her Vulpix. This was a good tape, but as I said before, it's no match for the first.

Summary: Great!
Review: This video contains my favorite Pokemon episode, Pokemon Scent-Sation . It centers around Erika,the Celadon gym leader as Ash struggles to battle Erika's Gloom. If you buy any video, it should be this one!
