Ok I’ll admit, I haven’t seen this particular product. But I have seen most Pokemon DVD’s and I read one of the reviews, so I will say this:
When you compare the Orange Island DVD box sets and the Indigo box sets with the original releases, here is what you get:
1. Ever since the Master Quest box sets where finished Viz has been steering clear of offering English subtitles. This is one feature the individual volumes almost always have. Why do we need English subtitles? Well I for one think that they are very helpful because sometimes we just don’t understand what a person is saying and subtitles really clear that up. I’m not joking! We are not as nearly as good at understanding our own language as we pretend. That’s not to say that we are dence.
2. The menu’s are much nicer and cuter in the individual volumes than they are in the box sets.
3. Sometimes in these new box sets the intros, themes, transitions, and endings get mixed up or left out completely. One reviewer said it was because, the endings for example, somehow messes with the video quality.
That’s stupid! In all the endings I have seen, and I own just about all of the Pokemon DVD’s, I have never noticed anything that takes away from the quality of the program. And besides, if you don’t want to watch the ending you can always push the “Next Chapter” button on your DVD remote to start the next episode.
Here is my suggestion for the Orange Islands. Look up “Pokemon Orange Islands” in the Amazon search engine. You will find the new box set and the individual volumes. Buy the individuals! Wether it is from Amazon themselves or from Amazon sellers (for a cheaper price). It is well worth it! I have the Individual Orange Island volumes myself and they are super fantastic!

The young adults that I purchased this for were excited when it arrived. They were not disappointed. It was every bit as fun for them to watch during their annual “POKEFEST” as it was when they remembered it from their youth. They had a great time.

This brings back nice memories for when I was younger. I am 19 and I still like pokemon, but only until the end of the master quest series. Awesome product

We have been watching this for days now! Loads of entertainment and full of that silly Pokemon-show fun. Gotta love Team Rocket’s persistence in the face of failure…
