Heroes Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu continue their adventures. In "Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon," there's a gold-rush-style fever to discover Pokémon fossils in Grampa Canyon, but the heroes--as well as the dreaded Team Rocket--find themselves trapped in a cave where the prehistoric Pokémon, including Charizard, are anything but fossils: they're alive and angry! When Pikachu loses his voice in "A Chansey Operation," Ash, Misty, and Brock rush him to the closest hospital, which is designated for humans only. The doctor is initially reluctant to treat Pikachu, but by the end of the episode, he's engaged the good gang to help out in a rush of Pokémon emergencies. Finally, "Holy Matrimony!" reveals James of Team Rocket's background--he's really wealthy and his parents are desperate to find him. It won't matter much that Brit James has parents with heavily put-on Louisiana-toned accents, especially when it turns out they're tricking him into marrying. (Ages 5 and older) --N.F. Mendoza

5.0 out of 5 stars Holy Matrimony!, April 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Pokemon - Charizard! (Vol. 15) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The episode "Holy Matrimony" is very good! James' past life is very interesting. I don't want to give anything away. If you like James at all, you'll like this episode!

This review is from: Pokemon - Charizard! (Vol. 15) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is definitely one of the best Pokemon videos! It starts with "Attack of the Prehistoric Pokemon". Ash and his fellow twerps end up in Grandpa Canyon, just in time for the "Great Fossil Rush". Ash and Team Rocket end up underground with an angry Aerodactyl! It's up to Jigglypuff to save the day! Next is "A Chansey Operation". Doctor Proctor saves Pikachu from choking to death on an apple, but then has to help and entire truckload of Pokemon. After some light flirting, the Doc convinces Jessie to help him, along with the twerps. Finally, there's "Holy Matrimony!" We find out the truth about James's past! His crazy finace, Jessiebelle (who looks like eveyone's favorite Rocket Girl), tries to hold him hostage, but Growlie, his pet Growlithe comes to the rescue! Then, Jessie and James leave in thier balloon, provoking one of the most Rocketshippy moments in Pokemon history! This tape is the best!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic!, February 4, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Pokemon - Charizard! (Vol. 15) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Attack of the Prehistoric Pokemon: Cool episode with Charmeleon evolving into Charizard - just to be able to fight Aerodactyl! It marks a turning point because of Togepi's egg and Charmeleon's evolution. A Chansey Operation: I don't like this episode. It was . . . unsettling. Why would a grown man like Dr. Proctor flirt with little teenage Jessie? Holy Matrimony!: The best episode ever created. By the way, James doesn't have THAT much of a British accent. The only reason I bet he even sort of sounds British is 'cos I suppose he never was around his parents much as a child . . . and all he had to hang around was Growly, his butler (who REALLY has a British accent; I imagine that's where James got his accent from), and Rumika (known to American viewers as Jessebelle, but I despise her so much I'd rather call her by her Japanese name). And then . . . this episode proves that Jessie and James have feelings for each other (not that certain other episodes don't). The end of this episode proved that . . . I mean, did you see the way they were LOOKING at each other? The way that they were holding hands? The way Jessie got when she saw James in the balloon? The way her eyes were sparkling when he pulled her into the balloon? And the fact that James didn't even bother with Meowth, and only pulled Jessie into the balloon? And the fact that Jessie and James were so involved with each other that they forgot about Meowth?!
