VIZ Media will release the complete first season (52 episodes) of Pokemon Indigo League for the first time on Blu-ray on November 14th. The new six-disc package will be available for $69.99 U.S. / $81.99 CAN. The set features episodes presented in full 1080p High Definition with English dubbed as well as English SDH subtitled dialogue options.

A recipe card from The Pokemon Cookbook: Easy and Fun Recipes and a Pokemon Adventures Vol. 1 mini-manga sampler are also included with the release.
As the new series opens, it’s Ash Ketchum’s tenth birthday, and he’s ready to do what many 10-year-olds in the Kanto region set out to do—become a Pokémon Trainer! Things don’t go exactly the way he planned when he ends up with Pikachu instead of a standard first Pokémon, and winning Gym badges turns out to be much tougher than he thought. Luckily, he’s got former Gym Leaders Brock and Misty at his side, along with a bevy of new Pokémon friends, including Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander.
