Viz Media has announced a 16-disc Blu-ray collection of 24 Pokémon films, set for release on November 24, 2026.
Viz Media revealed today that it will launch a limited-edition Blu-ray collection featuring all 24 Pokémon films. This announcement was made on X (formerly Twitter), and the collection is scheduled for a November 24, 2026, release. The set will be available exclusively on Amazon for a retail price of $399.99.
The upcoming collection includes a special Pokéball-shaped container and a mini art booklet with illustrations from the films. Notably, Amazon has listed this set with Japanese language options; however, the franchise has not released any Pokémon films in Japanese for the U.S. market. The collection is set to feature both classic and recent films, including two versions each of Mewtwo Strikes Back and the Victini films.
As reported by Anime News Network, the release of this extensive Blu-ray collection is significant for Pokémon fans and collectors alike. The 16-disc set promises to cater to long-time followers of the franchise who appreciate the nostalgia and history of the series. The inclusion of Veronica Taylor, the original English voice actor for Ash Ketchum, as a contributor adds a layer of authenticity and appeal for fans who grew up with the series.
In tandem with the announcement of the Blu-ray collection, The Pokémon Company recently revealed an all-new anime film titled Pokémon: Wild Card, which is set to debut in 2027. This forthcoming film marks the 24th installment in the film series (counting the Victini films as one) and is the first new Pokémon movie since Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle, which premiered in Japan in December 2020, with international streaming beginning in October 2021. This combination of film releases could invigorate the franchise's momentum, especially leading into the new year.
The Pokémon film Blu-ray collection is available for pre-order in the United States, attracting early interest from collectors. At the price point of $399.99, this collection positions itself as a premium item in the market, appealing to dedicated fans. With 24 films included, the collection stands out as a comprehensive tribute to the beloved franchise, emphasizing its long-standing legacy.
The slot for fans is clearly marked with this dual announcement: a collection that celebrates the past with the Blu-ray set, alongside a glimpse of new adventures with the upcoming film Pokémon: Wild Card. As new information unfolds, including potential details about the film's storyline and other supporting features, the Pokémon community is keenly watching for updates.
The release of the limited-edition Blu-ray collection could foster renewed interest in the Pokémon franchise while simultaneously reaching out to nostalgically inclined audiences. The blend of classic content with fresh film projects may enhance the brand's visibility and maintain its relevance in an ever-evolving entertainment landscape. As fans embrace both the past and future, the Blu-ray collection positions itself as a cornerstone for Pokémon enthusiasts around the world.
