Pokemon: The Johto Journeys - The Complete Collection (Repackaged/DVD)

Four stars sight unseen. But I am excited for the two extra episodes, first time on DVD, hopefully. I haven't seen the listing of episodes yet, but the original 13 DVDs each had three episodes. That's 39 episodes and this set says it has 41. So here's hoping for "Psychic Sidekicks" and "Fortune Hunters"! EDIT: I received my set yesterday and I can confirm the two episodes "Psychic Sidekicks" and "Fortune Hunters" are indeed included in this set! And they also have the "Who's that pokemon?" section in the middle of the episode. It even has a "Pokemon Karaoke" at the end of the episode. I can also comment on the visual quality, which is great! It's in line with all the other early DVD releases and matches the quality of the individual Johto DVD releases. Raising my review to five stars. Thank you Viz Media! EDIT2: I spent some time with the set this weekend observing closely the visual quality. I ripped the video and inspected it frame by frame on my PC. The video is as you'd expect from any DVD release - 720x480, 4x3, interlaced, 30fps (actually 29.97fps). I used an AviSynth decomb filter to make it progressive again. This is the usual for these Pokemon episodes. The pulldown pattern does not match up to the usual 3:2, so I have to use the auto decomb filter. I can safely report that the visual quality is outstanding, and at least as good as the individual episode discs... with one exception. One episode, "Forest Grumps", was not so good. It looked blurry with blended frames and such. I compared it to the same episode from the Johto Journeys Vol. 51 "Ursaring Rampage" disc expecting to see the same problems. I did not. That episode on was problem free on the original release. So aside from that one episode, I have no issues whatsoever with this being a four disc release. Here is a list of episodes included with this set: Don't Touch That 'dile The Double Trouble Header A Sappy Ending Roll on, Pokemon Illusion Confusion Flower Power Spinarak Attack Snubbull Snobbery Little Big Horn Chikorita Rescue Once in a Blue Moon The Whistle Stop Ignorance is Blissey A Bout with Sprout Fighting Flyer with Fire For Crying Out Loud Tanks a Lot! Charizard's Burning Ambitions Grin to Win! Chikorita's Big Upset Foul Weather Friends The Superhero Secret Mild 'n Wooly Wired for Battle! Good 'Quil Hunting A Shadow of a Drought Going Apricorn! Gettin' The Bugs Out A Farfetch'd Tale Tricks Of The Trade The Fire-ing Squad No Big Woop Tunnel Vision Hour Of The Houndour The Totodile Duel Hot Matches! Hour Of The Houndour The Totodile Duel Hot Matches! The Psychic Sidekicks!* The Fortune Hunters* * First time on DVD or home video!

FINALLY we get the complete 3rd season here in a complete box set! Is it really well done as compared to some imports...no, but at least we get them all in one set rather than individual dvds which are far too expensive and are out of print. I was worried that this would be missing episodes like the re-releases of (thinner packaged) Season 1 (Indigo League) and (thinner packaged) Season 2 (Orange Islands). This indeed has all 41 episodes from season 3, The Johto Journeys! 10 episodes on each disc with the last one having 11. So here is what I THINK Viz will do next: The Johto League Champions The Complete Collection re-release (thinner packaged) Master Quest The Complete Collection re-release (thinner packaged) Advanced The Complete Collection Advanced Challenge The Complete Collection Advanced Battle The Complete Collection re-release (thinner packaged) Battle Frontier The Complete Collection re-release (thinner packaged) Diamond and Pearl The Complete Collection re-release (thinner packaged) DP Battle Dimension The Complete Collection re-release (thinner packaged) DP Galactic Battle The Complete Collection re-release (thinner packaged) DP Sinnoh League Victors The Complete Collection Possibly re-release (thinner packaged) Black & White The Complete Collection re-release (thinner packaged) BW Rival Destinies The Complete Collection BW Adventures in Unova and BW Adventures in Unova and Beyond are already in their slimist release so I think Viz won't bother. They may start doing X&Y complete some day as well. Who knows. But regardless, I hope Viz continues and with no more missing episodes like seasons 1 and 2.

Arrived in good condition and worked great

I love the indo league. The first time buying the Jodo league and I really like the Jodo league too. Now gotta catch them all

My husband is a huge pokemon. Can as was I when I was little. We’ve slowly been collecting all the movies and tv shows that we can, it came brand new in the case, not opened, not scratched, still sealed. My daughter loves these!

New as described very happy with my purchase

Disk came secure and unscratched!

Exactly what I was looking for. I love the nostalgia rewatching the series and Johto was one of my favorites as a kid. Exactly how I remember it with few episodes missing. I would recommend this to any fan of Pokemon!

Bei den "Johto Journeys" handelt es sich um die dritte Staffel von Pokémon. Die Staffel liegt ausschließlich auf Englisch, ohne Untertitel oder deutsche Sprachoption vor und ist somit nur für Menschen mit mindestens guten Englischkenntnissen zu gebrauchen. Der Vorteil hierbei ist, dass die deutschen Folgen Ihrerseits auf Übersetzungen der englischen Version beruhen und daher immer mal wieder sprachlich nicht sehr schöne Anglizismen aufweisen. Dieses Problem hat man bei der vorliegenden Veröffentlichung natürlich nicht, da es sich hier gleich um die englische Version selbst handelt. Außerdem ist zu beachten, dass die DVDs im NTSC-Format (Regionalcode A) vorliegen, d. h. von den meisten europäischen DVD-Playern nicht abgespielt werden können. Hierzu benötigt man einen NTSC-Player oder gleich einen, der alle DVD-Formate (all regions) abspielen kann. Ein weiterer Punkt ist, dass diese Version hier in einem Bildformat vorliegt, bei dem man die Serie leider nicht im Vollbild auf einem großen Breitbildfernseher genießen kann. Links und rechts bleiben dicke schwarze Streifen und wer die Zoom-Option seines Fernsehers nutzt schneidet Teile des Bildes ab. Die Serie selbst ist wie immer witzig, abwechslungsreich und spannend! *Achtung: Preis schwankt immer mal wieder! P.S.: Im Mai 2021 ist die dritte Staffel endlich auch auf Deutsch veröffentlicht worden. Die Veröffentlichung ist ebenfalls bei Amazon erhältlich und bietet auch die Möglichkeit die englische Sprachversion anzuwählen. Die Bild- und Tonqualität beider Veröffentlichungen ist vergleichbar gut. Meines Erachtens entfallen somit alle Gründe sich diese Version hier anzuschaffen.

Rien à dire mes enfants ont adoré

Son unos capítulos muy buenos y vienen 4 discos. Solo están en inglés

Arrived on time brilliant

It is in English! Works great and my boys are learning about the original Pokemon!
