Indigo League to be released on Blu-ray in North America
|
A Blu-ray release of the first season of the English dub of the Pokémon anime, Pokémon: Indigo League, has been listed by several retailers in the United States. The Blu-ray, listed under the title "Pokémon: Indigo League: Season 1", is set to be released by VIZ Media on November 14, 2017. It is currently available for pre-order with the list price of US$69.99.
While Pokémon movies have previously been released on Blu-ray, this will mark the first time episodes of the English dub of the Pokémon anime will be released. The season has previously been released in several different DVD box sets in the United States, the most recent being Pokémon: Indigo League - The Complete Collection.
This Blu-ray release follows the recent release of HD upscales of the first season of the dub of the Pokémon anime on digital distribution services. However, that release only included the first 52 episodes of the dub of the Pokémon anime (the standard length of Season 1), whereas VIZ Media releases of Indigo League typically include the first 79 episodes (78 in recent releases, which exclude Holiday Hi-Jynx).
