Editorial Reviews

Three more episodes from the popular Pokémon series. The opening episode, "The Bridge Bike Gang," is one of the giddiest episodes: Misty can't find the right Pokémon to fight, Brock falls for another nurse called Jenny (seemingly all Pokémon nurses are cousins), and Team Rocket has their past comically revealed as Ash and his pals encounter a bike gang on a massive bridge. In "Ditto's Mysterious Mansion," we meet Duplica, a girl Pokémaster who has one of the most bizarre Pokémon. Will Pikachu and Ash go their separate ways? In "Pikachu's Goodbye," Ash, Misty, and Brock stumble across a wild herd of Pikachus. Ash's Pikachu loves to be near his kind but has to deal with Team Rocket when they discover the trove of Pokémon. Followed by Jigglypuff Pop. (Ages 5 and older) --Doug Thomas

5.0 out of 5 stars Pikapalooza!, November 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Pokemon - Pikachu Party (Vol. 12) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Pikachu, Pikachu everywhere! (and oh yeah, Ash too) In this volume of Pokemon, we get three interesting tales in the "Pokemon" animated series. In the first one, Misty gets a new bike! Actually, the gang borrow bikes to help out a sick Pokemon across a long bridge. But a bike gang rule the area and they want to battle. And then something unexpected happens (let's just say Big Jess and Little Jim, if you know what I mean) Next, they arrive at the House of Imite where a copycat actress is having her problems with her Pokemon, Ditto. It seems to mess up faces, but the Rockets don't care! This episode also has the funniest version of the Rocket motto I've ever seen! (and they don't do it!) Finally is the already Pokemon classic, "Pikachu's Goodbye" No one can resist an episode filled with Pikachu. But the question on everyone's mind is, will Ash give up his to the herd. Be prepared for a heartwarming ending that, while obvious, should still touch all Pikachu fans everywhere. So Pika, Pika till next time! (Pikachu!)

This video was a hit with the kids! they LOVE Pikachuis! Ash and the gang stumble on to a remote part of the forrest that is the home to tons of Pikachuis. Ashes Pikachui is right at home and Ash decides to leave Pikachui there with his friends, but Pikachui runs and jumps in Ashes arms and the two reunite. It brings tears to my eyes. LOL! Very cute video, highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pikachu lovers alert!, November 10, 2000

Elizabeth Nahod (Coventry,RI, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pokemon - Pikachu Party (Vol. 12) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video shares the adventure. First, Ash,Misty and Brock borrow bikes to bike accross a long bridge in a storm, to bring medicine to a sick Pokemon. But they meet up with more rivals then Jessie and James along the way! Then they meet a Ditto Master whoes Ditto is having trouble imitating faces. Who will help this Ditto? Team Rocket also tries to steal Ditto. Includes a very funny vursion of Team Rocket's motto. Are these Ash and Pikachu's last days together? When they stumble accross a herd of wild Pikachu, must Ash leave his to keep it happy? A must-have for Pikchu lovers.
