In the latest home media set inspired by the new generation of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y
video games, Ash Ketchum and his friends venture ever deeper into the
Kalos region! Ash takes to the skies in a wing suit in his first aerial
battle, and the group explores exciting new areas like the majestic
Kalos Canyon, the mysterious Cave of Mirrors, and Professor Sycamore’s
Pokémon summer camp. Meanwhile, Miette and Serena’s rivalry over Ash
heats up, and Team Rocket flummoxes everyone with clever disguises and
Pokémon-nabbing schemes! And of course, everyone’s after the secrets of
Mega Evolution—but will anyone get a handle on its consequences? The new
set contains 3 discs featuring 24 episodes (25-48), presented with
dubbed English dialogue.
POKÉMON: The MOVIEs 1-3 Steelbook BLU-RAY COLLECTION · MSRP: $39.99 U.S. / $46.99 CAN · Available February 9th
A special 3-disc Steelbook set featuring three complete POKÉMON
feature films— POKÉMON: THE FIRST MOVIE, POKÉMON THE MOVIE 2000, and
POKÉMON 3: THE MOVIE. Films are each presented with dubbed English
dialogue.
In POKÉMON: THE FIRST MOVIE, the
adventure explodes into action with the debut of Mewtwo, a
bio-engineered Pokémon created from the DNA of Mew, the rarest of all
Pokémon. After escaping from the lab where it was created, Mewtwo is
determined to prove its own superiority. It lures a number of talented
Trainers into a Pokémon battle like never before—and of course, Ash and
his friends are happy to accept the challenge!
In
POKÉMON THE MOVIE 2000, just one person can make a difference… In the
Orange Islands far south of Kanto, a Trainer named Lawrence is on a
sinister quest: catching the Legendary Pokémon Articuno, Zapdos, and
Moltres in an attempt to awaken Lugia, guardian of the sea! When Ash and
friends arrive, the islanders ask him to gather three elemental orbs
from different islands. As the weather across the world goes out of
control, it becomes clear that the capture of the legendary trio has
thrown the environment out of balance! With Lugia’s help, can Ash find
the orbs, restore the balance, and be the “chosen one” that everyone
turns to?
In POKÉMON
3: THE MOVIE, a crystal catastrophe is unleashed upon Greenfield, and
Ash, Pikachu, and friends must figure out how to undo the damage to the
once-beautiful town. But the unthinkable happens when Ash’s mother is
kidnapped by the powerful Entei, a Pokémon thought to have existed only
in legend. Now Ash must go to her rescue, uncertain of what he’ll
uncover when he unlocks the real secret power behind
the unbelievable turn of events: a young girl whose dream world is
being turned into a nightmarish reality by the mysterious and
unstoppable Unown!
