  by James De Hart (tracy, ca, usa)
I purchased this because I have been a longtime pokemon fan and are buying them for my collection,It is a good value for the number of episodes it contains, It is very different from the previous years like when it first started.Yet it is worth looking at and then you can decide if you want to buy or pass on it. I give it an A-.

5/5 A fun and family-friendly collection, perfect for young Pokemon fans

Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl Battle Dimension is a box set collecting the first two DVD volumes (containing seventeen episodes) of the latest installment of the Pokemon animated television series. As Ash, Dawn, and Brock continue their journey through the Sinnoh region, Ash trains and prepares to earn his next two Gym badges, while Dawn trains her performing pokemon in an effort to break her recent string of contest defeats with a victory. Each episode brings a different adventure - while the pesky Team Rocket of Jesse and James always seems to be on our heroes' trail, the new menace of Team Galactic also reares its threatening head! Many adventures also contain a helpful or insightful moral, from the importance of positive reinforcement and patience when dealing with others (especially when teaching or training), to the lesson that defeat in a competition, while painful, is not the end of the world; rather, it's an opportunity to learn and grow. A fun and family-friendly collection, perfect for young Pokemon fans - children's library collections will definitely see cartoon episodes checked out quite often!
