Pokémon Vol. 3

Pokémon Vol. 3 is a GBA Video Pak of the Pokémon anime series created by Nintendo and aired on Kids WB at the time. There are two episodes included: Pokémon - I Choose You! and Here Comes the Squirtle Squad.

Background
Pokémon is about a boy named Ash Ketchum (Satoshi in Japan) who, after becoming 10, is allowed to start his journey in the world of Pokémon and dreams of becoming a Pokémon master. On the day he is to receive his first Pokémon, Ash wakes in a panic, having overslept. Professor Oak, the local Pokémon researcher, has already given away the three Pokémon (Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle) he entrusts to new Pokémon Trainers when Ash finally reaches Oak's Lab. The only Pokémon that he has left is a Pikachu, that he gives to Ash. Determined to make it on his journey, Ash does his best to befriend Pikachu, but it does not trust him and will not even return to its PokéBall, even attacking Ash with its unique electric powers. It is only after Ash protects Pikachu from a group of angry Spearow that Pikachu realizes how much Ash cares, leading it to save Ash. Afterwards, they both see a mysterious and unidentifiable Pokémon that spurs both of them to work towards Ash's goal.

Pokémon - I Choose You!

 * Ash is finally old enough to receive his first Pokémon from Professor Oak, the town's Pokémon expert-but on the morning Ash is supposed to claim it, he oversleeps! By the time he arrives at Professor Oak's, the three Pokémon he wanted have already been chosen by the other Trainers-in-training, including his rival, Gary! The only Pokémon remaining is a strong-willed Pikachu.

Here Comes the Squirtle Squad

 * Team Rocket tries to enjoy a picnic, but the Squirtle Squad shows up, traps them (then ties them to a tree), and eats their food. Meowth makes a deal with the Squirtle to secure its release. With Meowth in charge, the Squirtle are able to capture Ash, Misty, Brock, and a wounded Pikachu. Will Ash retrieve Pikachu's medicine in time? And what's the real story behind the Squirtle Squad?

Trivia

 * This is one of the few GBA Video Paks to be distributed by Nintendo and not Majesco.
