Pokemon - Pikachu Party (Vol. 12)
: :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.

Pokemon - The Movie 2000
: :Thanks to a greedy Pokémon collector, Earth's weather patterns are askew and its population doomed unless Pokémon trainer Ash can return three glass balls to their proper place in this second Pokémon feature.

Pokemon 4Ever
: :The fourth Pokémon feature follows the pattern set by the previous three--and falls into the same traps. The TV series depicts the modest adventures of Pokémon trainer Ash Ketcham and his friends Brock and Misty as they roam an imaginary world, fighting matches and making friends. The features add elaborate CG effects that don't mesh with the flat, drawn characters, and over-scaled threats that feel beyond Ash's abilities to resolve. Forty years ago, Sam, a young trainer, meets ...
