Season 11 DVDs: June 23

Someone explain to me why Viz is giving us boxes of all the most recent seasons, yet somewhere along the line Johto Journeys, Johto League Champions, and Advanced Challenge/Battle got the shaft? It doesn't make sense to release the last third/first third of a region (Master Quest and Advanced), and totally ignore the other two seasons (hell, they already released JLC as individual 8 episode discs- all they'd have to do is repackage those a la the Orange Islands box), and it drives collectors like me who obsessively want the whole series on their DVD shelf crazy.
 
^ As you said, all those seasons are already on DVD so they're waiting, just not in boxset form. All of Johto League Champions was released in 7 episode DVD sets a long time ago. Likewise all of Advanced Challenge + Battle was released on 5 episode DVD sets awhile ago too. I own all these DVDs myself because I bought them years ago when the originally came out.

Its really just Johto Journies that was never re-released.

In any case, it does seem obvious they're making an attempt to get the entire series on DVD, so I wouldn't worry about them skipping early Johto or anything. It'll probably be put on boxsets eventually.
 
Aww man! I wanted Johto Journeys,JLC and Advance Challenge/Battle, Oh well.

Try finding said DVDs on the internet or at Borders. You won't have much luck.
 
Well they'll probably re-release them in boxset form eventually like they did with Orange Islands.

Lil brother, why put Zoey on the cover? At least Paul would make sense. They could put Pokehunter J on one of them even because of the Riolu eps.

That was the root of my gripe. I think instead of being so quick with the CURRENT seasons' boxsets (not that being prompt about them is a bad thing) they should release the four seasons they've neglected to so far.
 
Quick, you say... Battle Frontier was insanely delayed, and when these boxes are out most of the season (if not all) will be over in US, so why wait so long?

I agree about Johto DVDs though. Remember that last Johto Journeys (not Journies, dammit!) eps were NEVER released on DVD...

So that's how Journeys is spelled in the Dub series of season 3. Man, for the past 8 years i've spelling it like "Journies".

Oh, she was just the first person to pop into my head when it came to picking out individual characters, since that's what season 10 did (well, if you consider JJM one "person"). It could kinda work, considering she's Dawn's primary rival and appears a hell of a lot. But a J cover'd be cool. Or... holy Arceus crap, a Team Galactic one! :p Now I want that.

And now I'm trying to figure out which way I've been spelling it this entire time. :eek:
 
I like that Viz is keeping up-to-date with these releases, they waited way too long to finally release Battle Frontier.

Hopefully with this out of the way, they will go back to the older seasons and put those on DVD too.

It would be nice to one day own the entire series on DVD on your shelf...its just too bad they don't include the Japanese version with subtitles on the DVDs.

What a damn shame.
