Collection of DVDs from 2006 we thought had ended are starting up again?

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

Think way back to 2006 and you recall it was the 10th Anniversary of Pokemon. As well as events and such, over in America, they released the Pokemon All Stars Collection, a range of DVDs that contain episodes of the anime featuring whatever the Pokemon on the front cover was (They ranged from the likes of Pikachu, Mudkip, Lugia, Charizard etc.). After 10, and a boxset contain all of them, many of us thought that was the end of it.

Not the case so it seems. In Viz Media's latest line up of upcoming DVDs, they have Pokemon All Stars Volume 11 and 12 listed for a 19/08/08 release at a price tag of $9.98 each. No word on what Pokemon each DVD will represent, let alone what episodes each will contain. Seems the days of bog standard single Volume DVDs have not died afterall. Do these DVDs serve any meaning or are they milking the cow even more?

On a brighter note, a reminder that those much more better value for money DVD Boxsets will be released soon (Orange Islands on May 20th and Battle Frontier on June 24th), not forgetting the 10th film's DVD release come May 27th. Tons of Pokemon DVD joy either way (In America at least).

Hurray! Orange Islands! But why does Battle Frontier come after that? Are they skipping Jhoto and Hoenn? :-o

Nope, theres no runs of DVD releases. The most recent, and a classic one. The US had Season 1 in boxset form already so with any luck, Johto Journeys and part 2 of Battle Frontier will be next (After those All Star DVDs no doubt.)

i went to america and got some box sets but i thought about how i would play the dvds as they are region 1 but i found out that you can change the region settings of your computer/laptop to make it play dvds from other regions. and it does work and it is not a hack. it is really useful. :)
