VIZ Media is bringing us the definitive HD release of one of the most classic animated shows of all time, the original Pokemon Idigo League!

Coming to Blu-ray November 14th VIZ will allow fans to view Ash and Pikachu's original adventures in stunning high definition (full 1080p) in its original English format. Not content to just bring you this amazing show the set also comes with a recipe card from The Pokemon Cookbook and a Pokemon Adventures Vol. 1 mini-manga sampler! On the discs themselves notable bonus features include the complete "Pokerap" and a "Who's That Pokemon?" art gallery.

Here's a brief synopsis via VIZ themselves:

As POKÉMON INDIGO LEAGUE opens, it's Ash Ketchum's tenth birthday, and he's ready to do what many 10-year-olds in the Kanto region set out to do—become a Pokémon Trainer! Things don't go exactly the way he planned when he ends up with Pikachu instead of a standard first Pokémon, and winning Gym badges turns out to be much tougher than he thought. Luckily, he's got former Gym Leaders Brock and Misty at his side, along with a bevy of new Pokémon friends, including Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander.
​
“Long-time Pokémon fans will want to revisit all of Ash and Pikachu’s classic adventures in bold HD in this collection-worthy edition,” says Charlene Ingram, VIZ Media’s Director of Animation Marketing. “Catch them on Blu-ray in time for the holidays!”

Pokemon Idigo League on Blu-ray drops November 14th in a six-disc set (containing all 52 episodes of Season 1) and carries an MSRP of $69.99 US. For more information be sure to visit VIZ at viz.com.
