Summary: Goody Goody...
Review: Contains "Holidy Hi-Jynx", "Snow way out", and "Showdown at the Poke-Corral". Did you know that "Holiday Hi-Jynx" was banned from airing in the US? It was banned along with "The Ice Path" in season 5 because someone thought that the pokemon Jynx, featured in both episodes, was a stereotype of "black" amercans, and sent in a long persuasive essay to prove their point. So, the episode "Holiday Hi-Jynx" to me is enough of a reason to buy it! Also, "Showdown at the Poke-Corral" features Ash's rival since episode 1, Gary, who doesn't appear often in the anime and hardly ever appears in any VHS's. This is definitly a good VHS.

Review: Finally! A review that doesn't make Pokemon, or it's fans look dumb! As if the Pioneer covers didn't already do enough of a good job making Pokemon look dumb. *rolls his eyes* Anyway...The first episode on this video was a Christmas special, that was originally skipped in the dub, and in Japan too! It's about how Jessie hates Santa, because when she was a little girl "Santa who is really a Jynx, came in and stole her favcorite doll". And now she is starving for revenge! Meanwhile, Ash tries to catch a Jynx on the beach. After Pikachu fails and gets a goodnight (okay, it's broad day right now on the episode)kiss from Jynx which sends it to sleep you could say, Misty points out that it is holding Santa's boot! They relize that this Jynx works for Santa, and they try to bring it back to the North Pole. Along the way, it'll be tough, with Jessie scheming for revenge, and all that travel over the sea may be tough, but Santa's Lapras may be a great help! Then, on to the second special, a Winter special, which was ALSO originally skipped in America and Japan!, 0_o;; Ash decides that he can handle a mountain, and it will be no trouble to pass over on. But then, it's night, the storm starts up, and it gets to the temperature of literally freezing! And to make manners worse, Pikachu slips out of Ash's hands from the wind, and Ash go's to look for him. After Bulbasaur helps Ash save Pikachu, who nearly fell from a cliff, Charmander helps melt a snow cave shelter for the night. And then, all of Ash's starters, Pikachu, and Him decide to close up the hole, so no more cold can get in. All they have to rely on for heat is Charmander's flame on it's tail! Will Ash and his Pokemon survive this disastrous night? And when things get worse, and they can only rely on eachother's body heats, and all of Ash's Pokemon, Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Pidgeotto, won't stay in their Pokeballs, so they can keep their Trainer alive and not freeze to death, it's only love, hope, and fate which will help them make it through the night... Then, the season finale of season 1! Atleast it was in Japan... Ash is home in Pallet, and today he is supposed to go to Prof. Oak's lab for some reason. He doesn't know why yet tohugh. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are worried that they are gonna get fired, they are nearly at TR HQ's when they see it blow up! And they see a mysterious Pokemon covered in armor fly off! Giovanni and His Persian are still alive, and lucky for Team Rocket, they only get yelled at, and not fired. But they take it as a message from Giovanni as an encouragement boost. ^_^;; (Don't ask, they are very strange) They have now renewed their commitment to stealiing. Meanwhile, Ash gets to Prof. Oak's, and who is there, with him? Gary! Ash and Gary debate on who is a better Trainer. Prof. Oak anylizes their Pokedex's, and according to them Gary has seen more than 60 Pokemon! But Ash has seen over 100! BUT... Ash has only caught over 40 Pokemon, while Gary has over 200! Since, Pokemon Training is a major help to Pokemon Researching, seeing and catching are equal in importance. So they are declared at being a tie. Not one Traner better than the other. Ash and Gary come to except it, and take echother's advice by the end of the episode, they even show a side of them that they never show... a FRIEND side! They even show how they care about eachother (as friends, not any other way you sick weirdo), and respect, and fear (cause they may not be as good) eachother's Training skills. They decide they will have a Pokemon match... THAT can break the tie, who ever wins the battle, has better Trained Pokemon, and THAT will make the winner the better Trainer! Who will win? Ash or Gary? And what about Team Rocket?... they are DETERMINED to steal Pokemon, and will their renewed commitment to stealing effect Ash and Gary's battle? This tape is great. It contains two Pokemon specials that were oringinally skipepd in Japan, because right before they were supposed to air, the seizures occured, so Pocket Monsters was pulled of the air for 5 months, and 5 months later was a bad time for a Christmas and Winter special, but they were eventually released on two seperate videos with different episodes or OVA's on the videos. They was originally skipped in America, because they weren't available in Japan yet, and since Pokemon is made IN Japan, it was only fair that the Pokemon fans in Japan got to see it first. It's nice enough that it is dubbed and aired here too! The whole point of this rant is to tell you that if you are watching the Pokemon anime IN ORDER, then remember this timeline of when these episodes fall in: "Ditto's Mysterious Mansion" "Electric Hero Porygon" (Japanese title, hasn't aired in America yet, and not released on an English speaking video yet) "Holiday Hi-Jynx" "Snow Way Out!" "Pikachu's Goodbye" I hoped that help! ^_^;; Oh and... "Showdown At The Poke-Corral" is the ACTUAL season finale for Season 1. The only reason it was "The Breeding Center Secret" in the dub, is because thats as far as 4Kids could afford, when they first started ordering, and dubbing Pokemon. It takes place RIGHT before "Pokemon: The First Movie" then RIGHT after the movie, "The Evolution Solution" takes place. Which is the real season premiere for season 2. I hope I helped! ^_^;;

Summary: Goody Goody...
Review: Pok?mon is the story about Ash Ketchum and his friends, Misty Williams and Brock Harrison. Ash's goal is to become a Pok?mon Master. Misty's goal is to be "the best at everything" but, more specifically, a Water Pok?mon Master. Brock's goal is to be the world's best Pok?mon breeder. Pok?mon 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 Pok?mon trainer trains his or her Pok?mon to battle other Pok?mon and win badges to compete in Pok?mon Leagues. Ash, Misty, and Brock must deal with Jessie, James, and Meowth of the evil Team Rocket, who want to steal Ash's first Pok?mon, Pikachu, and usually other Pok?mon as well. This Japanese animation series is an advertisement for the Pok?mon 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 Pok?mon. 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.

Review: The pokemon rule in this volume. And why not? Pikachu's zappings get better. The voicing and the music makes you want more and it's good humor (If you have a sense of humor) is the *...* way to go!
