  It goes without saying that Pocket Monsters is a long series.  Luckily, the American distributors are trying their hardest to get every single English-language episode released on DVD.  The sheer number of releases can make finding any individual episode want a daunting task, so I've decided to create this guide to help make sense of all thes products.
