Viz Media has announced a special 16-disc Blu-ray collection of all 24 Pokémon films, set to release on November 24, 2026, priced at $399.99.
Viz Media recently announced that it will release a limited edition Blu-ray collection featuring all 24 Pokémon films. This announcement was made via an official statement on social media (formerly Twitter) and is set to be available on November 24, 2026. The collection includes a striking 16-disc set, making it a comprehensive addition for Pokémon fans and film collectors alike.
The Blu-ray collection is priced at $399.99 and will be available exclusively on Amazon. It promises a special Pokéball-shaped container and a mini art booklet showcasing images from the franchise's extensive history. Although the collection is marketed with Japanese language options, it is important to note that no Pokémon films in the franchise have had official Japanese releases in the U.S.
Amazon's listing also mentions Veronica Taylor, the original English voice actor for Ash Ketchum, as a contributor to the collection. However, this inclusion may lead to some confusion among fans due to the varied naming conventions within the film catalog, which features both the names used in English dubs and the original titles.
To put the collection in context, the 24 films included span several years of Pokémon history, featuring titles such as Pokémon: The First Movie, various iterations of Mewtwo Strikes Back, and the Victini stories. Collectively, these films trace the evolution of the franchise since its inception, cementing Pokémon's legacy in animated cinema.
This Blu-ray release follows recent trends in the anime industry, where collectors' editions attract significant attention due to their nostalgia factor and unique packaging, appealing to both seasoned fans and new viewers.
Alongside this Blu-ray announcement, The Pokémon Company has introduced a new film titled Pokémon: Wild Card, which is expected to premiere in 2027. This marks the franchise's return to theaters since Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle, which debuted in Japan in December 2020. This upcoming movie is being animated by CloverWorks and continues to expand the Pokémon universe, maintaining fan engagement and interest in new content.
The upcoming 16-disc Blu-ray collection of Pokémon films represents a significant development for fans who appreciate the franchise's history and cinematic achievements. With its special packaging and the breadth of content included, it serves as an essential collector’s item for enthusiasts. As fans anticipate the release date this fall, they can expect a blend of nostalgia and modern storytelling from future installments in the Pokémon film saga, especially with the exciting news of Pokémon: Wild Card on the horizon.
This Blu-ray collection affirms the enduring popularity of the Pokémon franchise and suggests a solid strategy for maximizing its extensive library. As collectibles continue to gain traction in the anime community, this release is likely to boost engagement, promoting ongoing anticipation for new cinematic entries and re-engaging fans with past titles.
