The "Mewtwo Lives" DVD features 68 pieces of production artwork as a DVD extra.

Since these are screenshots from a DVD the quality isn't going to be the greatest, but I'll share them here anyway.

I'm now officially at the halfway point of Johto so I thought I'd take the time to share some of my thoughts on the region so far!

Episode 157 "Pokémon Fortune Telling!? The Great Melee!"

Yamato, & Kosaburou make their Johto debuts. Funny little comedy episodes like these that show off the cast's personalities are some of my favorite in the series.

Pocket Monsters The Movie "Lord of the "Unknown" Tower ENTEI"

A bunch of Unknown decide to help cure a little girl's loneliness by...covering her house in crystals. This movie's a perfectly enjoyable way to spend an hour.

Episode 129 "Happinas' Happy Nurse!"

I loved this episode so, so much. I've been a fan of the Rocket trio for decades and this episode is a really great reminder why. 10/10, no notes.

Episode 134 "The Valley of Lizardon! Until We Meet Again!!"

Satoshi makes room in his team by getting rid of his greatest ally not named Pikachu. The dream team of Takeshi Shudo, Yuji Asada, and Akihiro Tamagawa all come together to create one of the most iconic episodes ever.

Episode 151 "Who Gets to Keep Waninoko!? Satoshi vs. Kasumi!"

This episode was absolutely phenomenal. I genuinely had so much trouble picking just four screenshots for this post because there are just so, so many great moments in this one. Probably one of my new favorites.

Episode 142 "Hiwada Town! The Yadon Well!!"

A really fun and hilarious episode. Having everyone put something as goofy as Yadon on a pedestal makes for some pretty amusing antics.

Pocket Monsters The Movie "Pichu and Pikachu"

A charming little adventure about Pikachu trying to make its way back to a party to celebrate a friendiversary. This very Looney Tunes-esque short's not my favorite, but it's not bad either.

Episode 150 "Delvil the Dark Pokémon"

A unique Pokémon (the show's very first Dark-Type!) gets a disappointingly cookie cutter episode about stealing food for an injured friend.

Episode 164 "The Poppo Fancier's Carrier Poppo!"

An episode about carrier pigeons is made better by the Rocket trio's antics as well as a better than average focus on Satoshi's Yorunozuku.

Episode 149 "Purin vs. Bulu!"

This episode's a bit thin on plot, but seeing Purin and Bulu interact with one another was a lot of fun. Screenplay writer Yukiyoshi Ohashi continues to be terrible at writing the Rocket trio.

Episode 187 "Mystery of the Frozen Himanuts!"

Kappei Yamaguchi returns to the studio to do a parody of an old Italian romantic war tragedy. The hilarious old couple in this episode absolutely steal the show.

Episode 128 "The Rediba Whistle!"

A woman uses a whistle to make a bunch of ladybugs pollinate an apple garden. It's a weird plot, sure, but at least it's not boring!

Episode 185 "Teppouo's Sky!"

Droughts, ancient ruins, crayons, and phallic ice sculptures! The amusing character-of-the-day and unique way of doing a Water-Pokémon based story makes this Takeshi Shudo episode stand out from the rest.

Episode 161 "The Bug-Catching Contest! Go Get One at Nature Park!!"

Nanako comes back, is a bad Trainer, and then gets rewarded for it by having her Chicorita evolve. This one's alright.

Episode 165 "Zubat's Mansion! The Dangerous Maze!!"

This episode was an absolute riot. A mysterious mansion, Takeshi being unhinged for large chunks of the story, Musashi and Sonansu being an iconic comedy duo...this episode had it all!

Episode 186 "Himeguma's Secret!"

This is one of the Johto episodes I've always remembered as being particularly good, and this rewatch cements that feeling. Fun concept, great comedy, interesting characters...this is one of the greats.

Episode 162 "Where is Usokkie!?"

Everyone works to find out what Type Usokkie is even though that should be common knowledge, probably...? The Rock-Type's antics are amusing, though.

Episode 138 "The Mysterious Superhero! Enter the Gliger-Man!!"

Satoshi meets the Japanese take on an American comic book hero. I love Pocket Monsters episodes about kooky old people who're a little detached from reality and this one's no exception.

Episode 159 "Miltank! The Revenge Battle!!"

Satoshi goes to a farm and then destroys this old man's field so he can win his third gym badge. This is easily my least favorite Gym Battle so far.

Episode 169 "The Battle of the Radio Tower! Beyond Time and Space!!"

This was an absolute delight from beginning to end. I love it when the show allows itself to be chaotic like this, it really shows off just how strong a cast this is.

Episode 154 "A Different Colored Yorunozuku! Go Get One!!"

Satoshi outsmarts a crafty owl. We don't really see Pokémon working *this* hard to avoid being caught as much anymore so this ended up being a nice reminder of a time when the show had a bit more of a bite.

Episode 190 "Windie and the Fire Stones!"

A Kanto Pokémon gets the spotlight as the Rocket trio steal a bag of rocks. Seeing the usually incompetent villain group use a pretty decent strategy was a lot of fun to watch.
