Pokemon - Round One (Vol. 25) description
As the second TV season approaches it climax, Ash Ketcham has advanced to the Pokémon League Tournament at Indigo Stadium, the Pokémon Trainer's equivalent of Wimbeldon. Ash has to contend with the overconfidence and occasional thoughtlessness that have dogged him throughout the series. During his first matches, Misty and Brock coach from the sidelines--when Brock isn't too busy chasing every pretty girl in sight. Professor Oak offers additional advice from Pallet Town and sends Ash the exotic Pokémon he needs. Although the score seesaws back and forth, it's a forgone conclusion Ash will win each match; a bigger question is whether he can learn to become a gracious winner. Gary, Professor Oak's arrogant grandson, is defeated early in the Tournament, although a final duel between him and Ash remains inevitable. Team Rocket's comic villainy produces the usual disastrous results--until Jessie and James discover they're actually good at selling souvenirs and fast food; Meowth is appalled at the prospect of going straight. Rated suitable for all ages. --Charles Solomon |

The Pokemon League at last...
|
After a decent wait, we finally get to see what die-hard Pokemon fans have been waiting to see for quite some time: the actual Pokemon League competition. These episodes vastly outshine the rather mediocre mid-series episodes from the period between the Saffron and Cinnabar gyms, but are also pretty good in their own right--lots of decent Pokemon battling, believable plot (for a change) with a good human story, and several at-least-somewhat-memorable new characters.
I also have a few bones to pick with the Editorial Review above. He really is not qualified to comment, as it is painfully obvious that he has never seen any episodes beyond those on this disc. If he HAD, he would know that Ash's victories are by no means a foregone conclusion (4 of all his Indigo League gym victories came on at least his 2nd attempt). He would also know that Ash does not, in fact, win his 5th League match and ends up finishing "in the top 16." No malice intended; I simply do not believe that said review is quite fair, or even accurate. |
