Pokemon - Season 1 DVD reviews

I love this dvd set! It kept me busy for such a long time!
The episodes brought back memories and a tear to my eye.
This was my fave show when I was a 6 year old.

I was bit disappointed they cut out the Poke'raps. Some episodes said, ‘Stay tuned for the Pokeraps!’. Then nothing happened.
For people wondering why all the 80 episodes aren't on this set, the rest of season 1 continues onto the season 2 set :)

This was an awesome buy. It comes with 52 episodes on 6 dvds in a really handy & stylish case. I dont think it includes every episode as it says on wiki there are 80 episodes in indigo league :/ The quality is great and everything about it is awesome…it definitely brings back the memories.

Buy this DVD its great value!!!!

I have always cherished the Pokemon series. I used all the discs the weekend I got them, then did the same the next weekend! Anyone could say that these classic episodes never get old. No special features, but thats fine. At least I got way more than what I payed for…Thanks again, MightyApe!

I love pokemon to pieces and this was a classic childhood memory

Pokemon… Where do we start, it's been around for years and is still one of the best Anime's to ever exist. This series starts with Ash Ketchum, and 11 year old boy who wants to be a pokemon master. It follows him on his first adventures, as he meets new friends and catches new pokemon.

How I missed you.. Excellent box set looks fantastic on my shelf, everyone, and I mean everyone loves the original Pokemon series, before it got crazy with over 600 critters to catch! This really took me back to rushing home from school, sitting in the middle of my lounge floor with all my Pokemon toys ready to watch Ash Ketchum take on the world!

Probly one of the best cartoons ever made. Its just sad where it went after season 8 with company changes, voice actor changes that and some other things lost my interest and left me slightly bitter on where it was heading. However this season and the seasons up to season 8 are brilliant =D

I purchased DVD's, they arrived 2 business days later in perfect condition. Highly recommend.

Pokemon is an example of good clean cartoon fun. It has the brilliance of lovable characters and an at times touching storyline with plenty of adventure, yet safe enough to show younger children.

Pokemon was a large portion of my childhood (15/16 years a fan), I never missed an episode. I have only good things to say about it and was extremely happy when I saw that mighty ape had started to sell Pokemon seasons in box sets. Rather stylish box sets at that!

The only thing about these box sets that disapoints me is that I have yet to see the memorable ‘Poke-rap’ anywhere, mind you, I am only up to the second box set. Perhaps the third box set will satisfy-

Any Pokemon fan should have this it has many great episodes

This has a great collection of Episodes which I watched all at once.

Unfortunately it does not contain all the Episodes of the Indigo League, the complete 1st Season of Pokemon contains 80 Episodes while this box set only gives you 52, so if you want to see all 80 Episodes you'll need to buy Season 2 with it. It also doesn't feature the “Poke Rap” like the original TV and VHS Episodes did, any Special Features, Subtitles or Different Languages.

However, it's still Pokemon and does feature the very first Pokemon Episode and the Original Theme Song which are like a blast from the past. If you can afford this I suggest you go for it!

This take me back to when it first aired on TV when i was still at school. Just seeing Ash Brock and Misty on there journey made me smile. All the reminiscing went to quick so i think now the others are a must buy for me.
Thanks Mighty Ape

good dvd set but what are the 4 NEVER-BEFORE-RELEASED EPISODES-

I brought this boxset, and loved it. The cartoons are in high quality. And the only downside this is that there are no subtitles.

The episodes and sounds are all clear.
They're worth to buy
Can't wait for season 2 and 3 :]

With the price it is less than $1 an episode!!!! Some of the voices are different but it's ok.The following seasons are better but still really awsome.

Son has been eagerly awaiting this series. So happy to get the first and is already negotiating the next two series.

Do you remember Pokemon as a kid well now you can watch the episodes in full right from the very beginning this 6 disc set containing 54 great pokemon episodes but does not have all the season 1 episodes however it is still an excellent buy at a ridiculously low price

I personally being a fan of the pokemon since young, was stoked when I realised that this was available on DVD. I had tapes of the same episodes, but really, who has a player that works these days. I spent countless hours watching and reinventing my love with pokemon. No special features, were a bit disappointing, but it was soon overcome when I started watching. Personally, Never has the phrase, ‘Worth every penny’ applied so well.

I was so happy when I found this website, you would not believe..
I've been searching for these boxes like forever!
And now I finally can start my collection and hit it off with the first season and it makes me soo happy!
Thank you very much for your great service. Really nice price, good payment options and the delivery was super fast!

You satisfied another Pokémon fan!

My generation grew up with Pokemon, the original series, and it's still an ongoing obsession. This series is worth buying so that future generations can love it too!

High quality, top-notch product, in every aspect.

Pokemon to me, (in particular) brings back such bittersweet, melancholic memories of a past long gone. And what possible better way to reinforce and reenact those memories, then once again start where I left off long ago. I have a strong tendency of plucking up pieces of the past (not wanting to leave it be), hence this was the perfect way to do just so.

You have my thanks, for this stupendous product.
My leave I take.

This brings back so many memories from my childhood, being obsessed with Pokemon etc.

This is a must have!

I love this season, although it is not as long as the original season 1, because it carries on in season 2, however some of my favorite episodes ever are in this season.

WWHat can i say about classic Ash and Pikachu. Reminded me of my childhood back in Auss when i used to get up at 6 in the morning just to watch pokemon. If your a Pokemon fan then this is a must as the classic Pokemon is better then any other. Best Season for ME.

Great collection overall, but be aware this is extremely bare bones. There's no pokérap, there's no “Who's that Pokémon”, and worse, I've noted one scene that has been completely cut! In episode 10, Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village, there's a scene where Brock punches Misty in the head twice because she teases him. This scene, and other small scenes that comes before and after that connects, are completely cut out. I measured it to more than 1 minute in total.

Funny enough, the scene in episode 42, Song of Jigglypuff, where Jessie gets spanked has NOT been cut out.

I've not watched every episode yet, but so far a couple of episodes had sound glitches in a couple of instances (first episode for example).

The American edition that Viz releases is of higher quality (and not cut out scenes, besides those that got cut from Japan to west), but Viz has not yet released box sets for season 3, 4, 7 and 8. So if you want the complete anime series, this is the way to go, but beware that:

• a few episodes have sound glitches on a few instances
• at least episode 10 has been censored with over one full minute of cut out scenes (and yes, these scenes exists in the American version)
• where are the four extra, never before seen episodes- Certainly not on these discs!
• No subtitles, no trailer, nothing extra
• Openings and outros are intact at least

We have been looking so long for this at a decent price, you cant go wrong with Mighty ape here. Amazing series, total blast from the past. Awesome quality.

I can remember Pokemon being a highlight programme during my primary years, which brings me to season 1 of this awesome series.
Start from the beginning as Ash ketchum begins his journey to become a pokemon master, and along with his best friend and trusted partner pokemon, Pikachu.
From meeting new people and pokemon, to earning badges for the Indigo league. This box set takes children and adults alike on a remarkable, and proven unforgettable journey into the world of pokemon. Suitable for the entire family.

Bloudy great, took about two weeks to get through. Really long. Good buy !

Pokemon: The indigo league is the perfect gift for anyone who loved the show as a child. Great nostalgia and a fantastic way to keep the child within alive!

I remember when I was about 7–8 years old and Pokemon was a massive part of my life. I grew up with it being my favourite show! 10 years later I still love it! I decided to buy this set to bring back the childhood memories! IT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! Believe me! This set comes with 6 discs with all the very first episodes of Pokemon. EVER! You can relive Ash and Pikachu's adven­tures starting from Pallet Town. A great series! Totally worth every penny!

Relive those childhood memories with this great box set which sees Ash's beginnings as a Pokemon trainer. I was amazed by the sheer number of episodes featured on this dvd set (over 19 hours!) Would of been cool to see a few bonus materials or something but definitely still well worth what you're paying for.

What a great collectible for any pokemon fan

I love these dvds because there are so many to watch! 10/10
