Bonuses

Mini-comic sampler cover
Lenticular Pikachu card included with the Water Blast! video

Various manga samplers of The Electric Tale of Pikachu were included with some of the original individual releases. The first sampler, included with I Choose You! Pikachu!, was actually released before the first issue of the regular monthly issues of the manga, making it the first appearance of any Pokémon manga to English-speaking audiences.

Some videos also had lenticular trading cards included.

Box sets

First edition

VIZ Media began releasing DVD boxed sets of Indigo League episodes in 2006, around the time of the Pokémon 10th Anniversary. These releases collect the season in three boxed sets each containing three DVD cases with one disc each. Optional English closed captioning is included on the DVDs.

The full version of the Kanto Pokérap is available on Disc 1 of the DVD box set without the first three intro sentences. The other discs don't feature the Pokérap. Pikachu's Jukebox is included with the episodes, but in a mostly different order than on Pokémon TV. Who's That Pokémon? is included on all episodes.

The cover of the second boxset shown on retail websites
  • On retail websites, the second North American boxset image shows Jessie's Arbok right next to her. However, on all actual boxsets it is Ekans that appears.
