All three of these episodes are stunning with some incredible battles. This DVD is a must have for fans of the series.

Three more excellent episodes, though many will be disappointed with the way the third episode ends due to its incredibly anti-climatic nature.

This box set from season one takes you up to episode 26 and contains some excellent adventures and battles, right up to Ash's fourth badge. Highly recommended if you don't get the individual DVDs.

Buy used from: £22.19
A set of twelve episodes including the introduction of Tracey. Admittedly, overall, this is a pretty weak package, despite the fun Gym challenge episode.
Pokemon, Vol. 2: Adventures on the Orange Islands [DVD] [2003] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]Pokemon, Vol. 2: Adventures on the Orange Islands [DVD] [2003] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
Buy used from: £12.95
12 more episodes, this time much better. "Snack Attack", "Meowth Rules!" and "Bound for Trouble" are far and away the best episodes, with two more enjoyable Gym challenges thrown in for good measure.

Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.25
A stronger movie than the first with a fun twist in the tail. Action packed, this is highly recommended viewing.

Buy used from: £10.00
"Charizard Chills" and "Pokémon Food Fight" are the most enjoyable "normal" episodes here, as well as the fantastic final Gym challenge and the brilliant two-part Orange League Championship episode.

Buy used from: £17.49
This set of short, Kanto and Johto Winter-themed cartoons focus on the Pokémon rather than the Trainers. Note that two of the shorts are also available on Pokémon Chronicles Volume 4.

An exciting start to the third season with brand new Pokémon and the return of Brock!
Pokemon: Midnight Guardian [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]Pokemon: Midnight Guardian [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
None of these episodes really further the overall plot but, as standalone episodes, they're all enjoyable, in particular "Illusion Confusion" and "Flower Power".
Pokemon: The Johto Journeys - Mission Spinarak [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]Pokemon: The Johto Journeys - Mission Spinarak [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
Buy used from: £73.95
"Spinarak Attack" is an enjoyable comedy episode, "Snubbull Snobbery" also offers plenty of laughs and "The Little Big Horn" is somewhat emotional. Recommended.
Pokemon: The Johto Journeys - Snow Rescue [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]Pokemon: The Johto Journeys - Snow Rescue [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
Buy used from: £261.00
Whilst "Chikorita Rescue" is a great episode, the other two on this volume aren't much more than average.
Pokemon: Flying Ace [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]Pokemon: Flying Ace [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
"Ignorance is Blissey" is a great episode for Jessie and Team Rocket and Ash finally reaches the first Johto Gym in "Fighting Fire With Flyer". "A Bout With Sprout" is decent enough.
Pokemon: Fire Power [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]Pokemon: Fire Power [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
"For Crying Out Loud" is nothing special, but "Tanks A Lot" is hilarious and "Charizard's Burning Ambition" is touching.
Pokemon: The Johto Journeys - Team Green [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]Pokemon: The Johto Journeys - Team Green [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] by Pokémon-Johto Journeys
Buy used from: £68.65
None of these episodes are particularly great. "Grin to Win" is the best of the three, if only for Meowth's comedic perfomance disguised as a Sunflora. Not highly recommended.

While there's not much plot advancement here, "The Superhero Secret" is a very amusing episode and "Wired for Battle" is pretty good.

We finally get some plot advancement as Ash catches a Cyndaquil and there's a "sort-of-but-not-really" resolution to the GS Ball plotline.
Pokemon: The Johto Journeys - Buggy Boogie [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]Pokemon: The Johto Journeys - Buggy Boogie [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
Buy used from: £114.73
This is another good DVD with Ash's second Gym battle in the Johto league as well as the first appearance of the brilliant Wobbuffet. Highly recommended.
Pokemon: The Johto Journeys - The Squirtle Squad [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]Pokemon: The Johto Journeys - The Squirtle Squad [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
This DVD is notable for featuring the last regular appearance of Squirtle who has a very strong send-off. "Tunnel Vision" is fun and "No Big Woop" is very cute.

Ash rounds off his Johto starters with Totodile in this volume. The other two episodes are enjoyable but not particularly special.

There's not too much of note on this volume, other than Noctowl's first appearance. The other two episodes are good but not fantastic.
Pokemon 3: The Movie [DVD] [2001]Pokemon 3: The Movie [DVD] [2001]
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £2.09
The third movie is pretty dark and has a very strong plot but often trades quality for sheer surrealism. Worth a look, nontheless.

The first three episodes in this set of seven are the best, with another great Gym battle. Sadly, this is where the series began to test everyone's patience with inconsequential filler episodes.

Seven more episodes, this time only two are really worth it. "Beauty & The Breeder" is very strong and "A Better Pill to Swallow" is utterly hilarious. Other than that, though, nothing special here.

The seven episodes here aren't awful, they're just distinctly average. Exceptions include the enjoyable "Imitation Confrontation" and the wonderful "Wobbu-palooza"
