After 15 seasons, Pokemon is still going strong and if it tends to feel a little formulaic it's probably because it is. That said, why change a winning formula? New foes, new friends, and dozens of never-before-seen Pokémon await Ash and Pikachu as they continue to explore the Unova region! It won’t be long before Ash finds himself up against the ultimate battle challenge: Alder, the Champion Master of Unova! Ash’s friends face their own trials as one fights for the right to continue her travels, and another confronts a returning challenge from the past. And it will take the combined strength of Ash, Cilan, and Iris to save an island from the clashing forces of three powerful and mysterious Legendary Pokémon! All that and Ash still has Gym badges to earn if he hopes to make it to the Unova League—can he prevail against Gym Leaders like the electrifying Elesa and no-nonsense Clay? - Beyond Home Entertainment

 I t's a good time to be a Pokemon fan. I remember back in the day, during my last few years of High School, the only way to get your hands on Pokemon in the home entertainment form was to buy VHS after VHS or tape it off Cheez TV on Channel 10 (Aussie geeks know what I'm saying!). Nowadays, you can get a quarter of the entire Pokemon story in one awesome package. The Pokemon Hoenn Collection Book collects Ash and Pikachu's adventures in the Hoenn region through the Pokemon Advanced series. These series encompass Advanced, Advanced Challenge and Advanced Battle. With 16 discs, 133 episodes and over 48 hours of viewing, it's a package that Pokefans will surely drool over. Check out the full review after the jump!

The Sydney Manga and Anime Show (SMASH!) is Sydney's ultimate day of Japanese pop culture and otaku lunacy. The most obvious and endearing factors into the success of SMASH is that it is a con for fans, by fans - which is probably why it is so much fun!  Today I had the pleasure of speaking to Thomas Munro, the President of SMASH about his geeky habits as well as the past, present and future of SMASH!

Everybody knows Pokémon (ポケモン), right? You know, the anime series about a young kid who catches cute animals before making them fight each other? Although this makes the series sound like the inner workings of a Vietnamese cockfighting den, Pokémon is the second most successful video game franchise of all time which, since its release in 1996, has gone on to spawn 14 seasons of anime, numerous films, games, manga and merchandise aplenty! Welcome to Pokémon: Black and White (aka season 14). Ash Ketchum is back to his old antics with his ever faithful pal, Pikachu. They head over to the completely unexplored Unova region, battling other Pokémon trainers, wild Pokémon and of course, the ubiquitous Team Rocket.

Many people may have noticed that Magna Home Entertainment have released a number of Pokemon DVD's over the years including their latest releases of Pokemon movies Zoroark - Master of Illusions and Arceus & the Jewel of Life on Blu Ray. After a bit of digging I found that they are releasing a MONSTER sized limited edition Pokemon: Kanto and Orange Islands Collection. That is a total of 22 discs and over 3,800 minutes of monstery goodness. The recommended retail prices is AUD$179.95 which may sound steep but really you're only paying just over $8 per disc which is a bargain at twice the price. Also, just to seal the deal, they are also including a whole bunch of Pokemon information and detailed region maps.
