List of English language Johto League Champions home video releases (Region 1)
The following is a list of all of the English language home video releases of the fourth season of the Pokémon anime, Johto League Champions, in the United States and Canada (DVD Region 1).
Single releases
DVD
Johto League Champions was first released in single-disc DVD sets released between 2002-2004 by Viz Video and distributed by Pioneer Entertainment (now known as NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan) and Ventura Distribution, containing all 52 episodes across them all. Each volume has one disc with seven episodes, except the seventh volume which has ten episodes on one disc. Optional English closed captioning is included on the DVDs.
VHS
"High Voltage Collection" Johto League Champions single VHS releases were released in 2002-2004 by Viz Video and distributed by Pioneer Entertainment (now known as NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan) and Ventura Distribution. Each volume contains three select episodes from various points in the season, rather than sequential episodes. Altogether, 27 of the season's 52 episodes were released across the nine volumes.
The volume numbers of these VHS releases are a continuation of the The Johto Journeys VHS and DVD volumes (skipping Volume 52, which was presumably reserved for the last two episodes of The Johto Journeys, which were never released on individual volumes).
Two episodes are mistitled on the back of the VHS covers: A Ghost of a Chance is listed as The Tower Inferno, and The Grass Route is listed as The Grass Root.
