"Wobba-Palooza" may just be the best episode on this VHS, simply because of all the wackyness Wobbuffet provides, while "Control Freak" has a good story, though the animation is a bit stiff. "Special Delivery", though cute, is rather boring.Pioneer has begun releasing special edition DVDs of the Johto League Champions series, each holding seven episode, so you may want to hold off on this volume since it will eventually be available on DVD. But if you just need a dose of Pokemon action, or if you're just a Wobbuffet fan, this VHS is great.
Buy these two volumes instead, and you'll get much more for your money -- More episodes, and they are in order.
