This is the second box set that has been released for Season One of Pokemon. Once again, this collector's set is only the 4kids American dub with no second Japanese version. Like the first box set, it contains three discs; each in a nice hard case that slide into one cardboard sleeve. The artwork on the box and each individual case is similar to the first. The set contains the second 26 episodes of season one. The third and final box set is due out in February, 2008.

Once again, the menus are decent but nothing spectacular. On box #4's menu, it has a picture of Ash and Pikachu. For some strange reason, he is wearing an outfit that appears only in a later season. Whether this was done intentionally or was a mistake, I do not know. When it comes to scene selection, each episode is divided into only two parts. The first, being before the commercial break, and the second, coming after the break. The video quality is descent.

According to Wikipedia, the Japanese version contains 83 episodes; three were originally banned in the U.S. One of those episodes was eventually aired ("Beauty and the Beach") but has yet to show up on any DVD edition. That meaning, there should be 80 episodes that should be released as the final box set comes out. But if you notice on the third set, it says "episodes 53-79." A fourth episode may possibly not be released as the final set comes out in February. One theory may be that it is the "Holiday Hi-Jinx" episode that caused some controversy a few years back.

On another side-note, episodes 50-52 contain a character that is a Pokemon photographer. In its original airing, his name was referred to as Todd, but in this version, he is called Snapp--which was his real name according to the video game in which he belongs.

One nice thing that could be included in the DVDs would be the original TV spots for episodes that first aired on KidsWB! But seeing that Pokemon DVDs never have real extras, it would never happen. Overall, this is the best edition of season one part two that there is. It's worth the purchase if you do not mind the American version. I rate this product 5 out of 5 stars.

This box set contains episodes twenty-seven through fifty-two of the Pokemon anime series, which is spread out over three DVDs (the first two discs have nine episodes, while the third disc contains eight episodes). There is only one extra included on each disc (the full-length "Pokerap").

Just like with the first box, it's obvious that Viz Media put this set together "on the cheap." However, if you're a fan of Pokemon, you'll want to pick this up in order to have all the episodes on DVD. In this set, Brock gets his Vulpix; Ash says goodbye to Primeape; Ash earns the Soul badge; Ash almost says goodbye to Pikachu; Ash and his friends encounter the prehistoric Pokemon; we learn more about James' past; Ash and his friends meet a photographer named Snap, who travels with them for a few episodes; Ash tries to take the Pokemon League exam; and we are first introduced to Butch and Cassidy, two other members of Team Rocket.

This set can actually be acquired for a decent price, considering what you get in the set. If you're a Pokeman fan, you have to purchase this set in order to continue following Ash on his Pokemon journey.

I didn't miss an episode of Pokemon when i was a kid and it was first coming on, now I can own them forever. It feels like reclaiming a small but very important piece of my childhood.

Well as far as kids shows go this is pretty good. there is a long story arc through out the season, which makes it more interesting then story's that end every episode. Great charectors with all their origin story's. Perfect for your little pokénut. Get the whole season.

These episodes are of the original pokemon season and (in my opinion) some of the best as they are funny, have plenty of action (for kids), and as they were made when pokemon first came out, they are more original than some (not all) of the episodes of the following seasons.

This product was just as its predecessor significantly amazing as Season 1. I was astounded when I recieved this product to continue the world of pokemon from ash's point of view. This Box Set was definitely worth the small amount paid for it. Now I will be able to view these episodes for years to come. Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!

I remember first watching the Pokemon series when I was 7 years old and it was in the 90's. I LOVE Pokemon. Watching these DVDs brings back wonderful childhood memories!!

It's kind of a bummer that there are no special features on these many DVD's, and if you buy this one as well as part 1 and 3, it's really bulky. But I love the show so much, actually since I was 2 years old, and It's a lot better than having my 15 recorded tapes from the late '90's!
