Viz Targets Pokemaniacs With Two New ‘Pokemon’ DVD Releases
In the mood to catch up on the long running Pokemon anime? Viz has you covered! The distributor has announced that two different releases are available now, one from the Diamond and Pearl generation, and the other diving into the newest world of X and Y.
First, Pokemon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior follows Ash as he encounters Shaymin, the Mythical Pokemon who protects nature. But when a new evil attempts to take control of Giratina, the dimension shifting Pokemon that has the power to warp time and space itself, it’s up to Ash and Shaymin to save the world from this emerging threat. Featuring many of our favorite Pokemon from the fourth generation, including Regigigas, this film serves as a look back to the DS glory days!
Second, while the past was great, there’s no time like the present, which is where Pokemon The Series: XY comes in. Catching up with Ash as he pursues his 15 + year journey to become a Pokemon Master, his latest adventures take him to the Kalos region. With 70 new Pokemon to discover, new friends to follow him on his journey, and new rivals to take on, this three disc set could be a great way to jump back into the series with the first 24 episodes.
Retailing at $19.97 and $26.95 respectively, these two releases are on shelves now for your trainer consumption. Do you still keep up with the Pokemon anime? Share your favorite moments in the comments, and check out the full press release below!
