"Pokemon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu" - finally!!!!!!Oct 29, 2009
By Kimberly
"Kim & Alan"
Despite the limited information (and none on Amazon) online, it would only make sense for the skipped two-part Riolu special to be included on this third and final box set for the Pokémon DP Battle Dimension season. Not only does it finish out the season with the remaining 16 episodes, the second disc (volume 6) includes the illusive "Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu" (totaling 18), and this time correctly mentions Hunter J on the back of the box set (unlike Vol. 2). This is undoubtedly the best episode on the entire box set and worth mentioning that this is where you will find it!
Also included are the remaining three Pokémon Summer academy episodes that were first effected by my faulty VCR (see my review of Battle Dimension Vol. 2), and despite how I've always felt about holding out hope for subs, I still wanted the dubbed version! The budding friendship between Ash and Angie (which later continues in "If the Scarf Fits...") makes up some of this collection's best moments, along with an understanding between Ash's newly-evolved Grotle and Paul's Torterra ("Aiding the Enemy"), and Ash's battle with Barry, a blindly loyal fan of Paul's ("Barry's Busting Out All Over!"). Again, when did the dub get good?!
Okay, there are a few clunkers toward the end like "A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine" and the poorly-dubbed "Sleepless in Pre-Battle" (Crescelia vs. Darkrai [if you want to see Darkrai in the animé, get the movie "The Rise of Darkrai"!]), but overall, it is absolutely worth owning.
REGARDING BOTH BOX SETS 2 and 3:
After being a Pokemon fan for so many years, DP Battle Dimension (season 11) was by far the best overall season yet. Our hero Ash's devotion and passion to protect Pokemon shines brighter than ever opposite his heartless rival Paul and cruel Pokemon hunter J...
these box sets worth every penny, in plain English.

A great season!!!Mar 31, 2011
By Dawoof
Great season. Probably one of the best yet. Not the same as the original series, but good. I remember growing up with the original series when it premiered in 1998 in the united states. If I had to name my top favorite Pokemon seasons it would be. Keep up the good work!!!
1. Indigo League.
2. Adventures on the orange islands.
3. The Johto Journeys.
4. The Johto League Champions.
5. Master Quest.
6. Advanced.
7. Advanced Challenge.
8. Advanced Battle.
9. Battle Frontier.
10.Diamond and Pearl.
11.DP Battle Dimension.
and maybe 12. DP Galactic Battles.

Good for my kidsMar 29, 2011
By N. Reed
Simply put, my kids are Pokemon Junkies, but being so young they missed some of the DP:BD season so I got them this to help them get caught up and for repeated entertainment value.
Rivals, Gym Leaders, and Villains, oh my!Jul 25, 2011
By Samuel J. White
The Diamond & Pearl seasons of the Pokemon anime are show's best, doing things that the series should've been doing the entire time with multi-episode storylines, lots of recurring characters, hard hitting, badass (as strange as it may sound) villains, the Sinnoh Gym Leaders have a bigger presence and more personality than previous Gym Leaders, and the show actually uses the reigon's Elite Four & Champion.
The 18 episodes in this set nicely represent that as Ash & friends running into old & new friends/rivals; have encounter gym leader Fatina, Champion Cynthia, Elite Four member Aaron and even a couple Pokemon Rangers; have two thrilling two-part adventures involving the evil Team Galactic and Hunter J; and even witness a battle between a couple of Legendary Pokemon.
My one complaint is that, as always, these discs ONLY contain the American Dub, which greatly detracts from the show's over all qaulity with mediocre at best voice acting (Barry loses all the charm he had in the Japanese version) and dialogue (Team Rocket can't open their mouths without saying some clumsy or inappropriate pun/joke/ryhme). But the Japense language version is nigh-impossible to find outside of Japan, so beggars can't be choosers. Especially when you have such good episodes from such a good era.
