I will buy this since it appears they'll be in their original aspect ratios. Probably would be too much to hope for the original Japanese audio and subtitles (not dubtitles). Remember streaming the first one online at some point and the tone of the film was much darker than the US version.

This came out of left field

russgup · 12-17-2015, 06:54 AM

Are these likely to be region free?

Mavrick · 12-17-2015, 07:23 AM

I might have to get these

Disbchris · 12-17-2015, 08:24 AM

i have been wanting the first one on blu, so I will probably get this

If only it came with a reproduction of the Mew card that they gave out.

I still have mine. And some of the ones for Pokemon on 2000, and the one for the 3rd movie. But I think that's where I stopped.

imsounoriginal · 12-17-2015, 12:18 PM

Has the first ever been released on Blu-ray stateside? That's the only one I'm interested in, purely for the nostalgia.

It arrived yesterday if there are any questions. Dub only and no subtitles if anyone's wondering

Is Pikachu's Vacation included with Pokemon The First Movie?

There are no individual Blu-ray releases in the U.S. so far, only DVDs.

ghornett · 12-18-2015, 10:56 PM

Easy buy, I think I only saw the first two anyway.
Steelbook is icing on the cake.

BluCoop · 12-18-2015, 11:07 PM

I didn't even realize this was a steelbook. I only watched the first one, I kind of got out of Pokemon after the 1st one, but I'll check the other two movies out.

Just because it says so on the back doesn't mean it's true. I'd say this is still uncertain.

henry00x · 02-09-2016, 05:37 PM

I grabbed one of two at my local Best Buy.

They do appear to be very rare, considering Amazon wasn't able to fulfill all pre-orders and shows as out of stock right now.
