The Pokemon League at last...
February 2, 2006
After a decent wait, we finally get to see what die-hard Pokemon fans have been waiting to see for quite some time: the actual Pokemon League competition. These episodes vastly outshine the rather mediocre mid-series episodes from the period between the Saffron and Cinnabar gyms, but are also pretty good in their own right--lots of decent Pokemon battling, believable plot (for a change) with a good human story, and several at-least-somewhat-memorable new characters.
I also have a few bones to pick with the Editorial Review above. He really is not qualified to comment, as it is painfully obvious that he has never seen any episodes beyond those on this disc. If he HAD, he would know that Ash's victories are by no means a foregone conclusion (4 of all his Indigo League gym victories came on at least his 2nd attempt). He would also know that Ash does not, in fact, win his 5th League match and ends up finishing "in the top 16." No malice intended; I simply do not believe that said review is quite fair, or even accurate.

This DVD is one of the best I seen yet. Its when ash is in the pokemon leauge battleing. He wins with his kingler. It is so exciting through the whole match. It is a must buy for the pokemon lovers like me.
A Must!

i think that i quite agree with the other customer review that this is sort of in the G/PG side,but the main sidekick shouldn't worried that there's going to be trouble in the first few rounds,take for example,if gary decided that hw wanted to battle ash then ash would say 'no problem with battling a fellow trainer, all right,let's battle,gary' because that would be a kind comment that he would say to him and also,you take in all the different elements that occur during round one,like for example,team rocket would make another one of their funny plans to steal pikachu,but the main plot in the story is the pokemon league and i think that if people in that story [including team rocket] understood that a pokemon league battle is important, then team rocket would steal pikachu during the certain part in the climax of the round

I don't see why everyone seems to hate it, but theres nothing wrong with pokemon. The anime is on the G/PG side but that's ok. It is generally fun to watch and remains entertaining through the whole series. So if you haven't seen pokemon yet, don't listen to what everyone says and check it out.
