A trio of action adventures from the popular Pokémon TV series finds our indomitable heroes Ash, Misty, and Brock persevering in their quest to rid the world of evil. In the first episode, "Clefairy Tales," Ash is on his way to Viridian City to compete for his eighth, and final, badge when he finds himself witness to a rash of alien abductions--or are they? Worse yet, Pikachu has been kidnapped for use in an enemy space launch. Can Ash's Bulbasaur save the day? Undoubtedly yes, and just in time for Ash to begin his Earth Badge competition in "The Battle of the Badge." Does Ash really have what it takes to join the Pokémon League? It's showtime in Viridian City's gym against the fearsome gym leader and his "ultimate Pokémon." Let's hope Ash doesn't quit when Team Rocket attempts to subdue him once and for all, especially since Ash and cohorts are due to visit Pokémon Circus. In the last episode, "It's Mr. Mime Time," a supremely fierce Pokémon gives Ash, Misty, and Brock a three-ring performance they'll never forget. Though there's nothing profound here, the formula is pure Pokémon, with enough mischief and general tomfoolery to please fans ages 4 to 10. Followed by The Po-ke Corral. --Lynn Gibson

5.0 out of 5 stars Final Badge+Mewtwo Kicking Gary's Butt=Awsome Episode, March 21, 2002

By 

"static2007" (Halloween Town) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pokemon - The Final Badge (Vol. 20) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I had to get this movie! It's so cool! In the first episode of this video, Clafairys have built a space ship and they plan to take Pikachu with them! The part I like the most is when Jigglypuff and the Clafairy have a slapping contest because the Clafairy took Jigglypuff's marker/microphone. In Battle of the Final Badge, we get to see Mewtwo kick Gary's butt with no effort! Of course, Mewtwo is in its armor and looks so cool! Giovanni leaves Jessie and James in charge because he has to go to an emergency accident. When Ash battles them he soon finds out that the platforms are rigged and when his Pokemon get hurt, he feel their pain too! The next episode shows a lazy Mr. Mime that will not obey the trainer. Can Ash and Co. get the Mr. Mime to perform again? These are my favorite episodes in the entire seires! The Clafairy one is so funny!

5.0 out of 5 stars pokemon the final badge, August 2, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Pokemon - The Final Badge (Vol. 20) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Ash and his frinds go for an ice cream break and Team Rocket cames as people from outer space and takes pikachu and then a pokemon comes and takes Pikachu Ash goes for his earth badge but Gary goes in first and lost to the leader by a pokemon who noone but the leader knows and Ash faces Team Rocket and they were both in a tarap for the badge by shocking them when there pokemon get hit. The last one is when Ash, Misty, and Brock go back to Pallet Town and Ash and Pikachu Ran into a wall that they can't go though and they go see a Pokemon Show and Ash's mom has a Mr.Mime.

4.0 out of 5 stars The REAL first appearance of Mewtwo., June 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Pokemon - The Final Badge (Vol. 20) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video (from the second season of Pokémon), features Ash's attempt to win his eighth badge, The Earth Badge in his attempt to enter the Pokémon League! Most memorable for the battle at Viridian City's Gym, where Mewtwo makes his premiere appearance (under a mask and suit of armor, that is.) However, Giovanni is forced to leave the gym in the hands of Jesse, James, and Meowth, so it's fairly obvious what happens. Typical Pokémon antics, and great fun for kids or even older fans.
