If you have ever wanted every Pokemon animated film on your shelf in the most on-brand packaging imaginable, Viz Media just made that possible. The Pokemon: 24-Movie Collection is a limited-edition Amazon exclusive Blu-ray set that fits all 24 Pokemon films onto 16 discs, housed inside a Poke Ball-shaped case. The catch, and there is always a catch, is the $399.99 price tag sitting on the Amazon listing right now. Pre-orders are live, with the set scheduled to ship on November 14, 2026.
For fans who grew up catching creatures in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen before rushing home to watch Ash on the big screen, this collection hits differently.

What you actually get inside the Poke Ball
The collection spans the full run of Pokemon theatrical releases, starting with Pokemon: The First Movie and running through the Unova-era entries, including Pokemon the Movie: Black and White and the Forest of Okoya storyline. Notably, the CGI remake Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution is also part of the set, which means both versions of the Mewtwo origin story are accounted for.
Here's the lowdown on the confirmed contents:
- 24 Pokemon animated films across 16 Blu-ray discs
- A hard-bound book enclosed within the Poke Ball-shaped case
- Actress Veronica Taylor, the original English voice of Ash Ketchum, is listed as a contributor
- Japanese language audio confirmed on the Amazon listing
- Amazon exclusive, limited-edition packaging
That Veronica Taylor credit is the most intriguing detail here. Her name appearing as a contributor could mean English dub audio tracks are included, which would make this set dramatically more appealing to anyone who grew up with the 4Kids localization. The listing stops short of spelling that out, though, so there is genuine ambiguity about whether her involvement is tied to the discs or the accompanying book.
The gaps that $400 should probably fill
Here's the thing: a $400 collection billing itself as the complete Pokemon movie experience has some notable omissions worth flagging before you commit.
Detective Pikachu, the 2019 live-action film, is nowhere in the listing. That film sits outside the animated continuity, so its absence is understandable from a curatorial standpoint, but it still means this is not the full picture of Pokemon on film. Hardcore collectors will notice.
The pre-film animated shorts are another question mark. Those shorts, things like Pikachu's Vacation and Pikachu and Pichu, were shown before the main features in cinemas and are a meaningful part of the theatrical experience. Many previous physical releases stripped them out entirely. Whether Viz Media has rectified that here is still unknown.
Language options beyond Japanese are also unconfirmed in the listing details. For a set at this price point, dual-audio support with both the original Japanese cast and the English dub would be the baseline expectation, not a bonus feature.
How the price stacks up
Four hundred dollars for 24 films works out to roughly $16.67 per movie. That is not outrageous by collector set standards, but it is a significant ask when the content details are still this sparse. The packaging is genuinely impressive on paper, and a Poke Ball-shaped case is exactly the kind of thing that looks spectacular on a shelf, but premium presentation only carries so much weight when the disc contents are still partially undisclosed.
For context, comparable collector sets in the anime space, full series boxes and franchise retrospectives, typically land between $150 and $300 depending on episode count and extras. Viz Media is pricing this at the high end of that range for films alone, which puts the pressure squarely on the bonus content to justify the gap.
What this means for Pokemon fans heading into November
The Pokemon franchise has a complicated relationship with physical media. Several of the later animated films had limited home video releases, and finding clean copies of the Unova-era entries in particular has been a headache for years. A single set that consolidates everything, assuming the audio options and extras hold up, genuinely solves a real problem for collectors.
The key here is that Viz Media still has time to clarify what is actually on those 16 discs before November 14. Details around the English dub tracks, the animated shorts, and any bonus features will determine whether this goes from an interesting collector's item to a must-own for Pokemon fans. Keep an eye on the Amazon listing as those details surface.
While you wait for November, the Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen strategy guides have plenty to keep you busy in the meantime.
