If you’re reading this, then you’re obviously a fan of Pokémon or you’re looking up info for someone you care about. Either way, someone loves Pokémon. This is a review for Pokémon Advanced – The Complete Collection, from VIZ Media.

VIZ Media continues to bring home all the joy for fans of Pokémon. I decided to do this review because my nephew has entered the world of Ash & Pikachu, and he is loving every minute of it. For those of you who might not be sure where in the timeline Pokémon Advanced – The Complete Collection falls into, this collection is the sixth season of the series and the first season of the Ruby And Sapphire story arc. Pokémon Advanced – The Complete Collection is a whopping 40 episodes of Pikachu goodness. The story arc of Pokémon Advanced revolves around Ash & Pikachu (obviously), May & her little brother Max, and the ever-loving Brock, as they make their way through the Hoenn Region. As with every new entry into the world of Pokémon, there are new Pokémon to be encountered, new friends to be made, and new Gym Leaders to defeat.

I haven’t watched anything Pokémon related in years, but spending time with my nephew has reinvigorated the need to re-watch this series in its entirety. If you’re a life-long Pokémon fan or are introducing a new generation to it, then Pokémon Advanced – The Complete Collection is a must-have for your collection. I’m thankful that VIZ Media is releasing Pokémon in these Complete Collections. It makes it so much easier and more fun to watch complete story arcs. With all the nonsensical shows that are being produced for children, I’m glad that something like Pokémon continues to endure. Pokémon Advanced – The Complete Collection is nephew-approved and recommended!
