Encoded the series of Pokemon into MKV h.264 format with English Audio.
Finding this series was kind of easy, but it was hard finding it with DVD like quality. All of the others were very grainy or blurry and the quality of others was driving me nuts so I decided to make a higher quality version out of the DVD.
NOTE: (This is a re-upload and not a re-encode, so it is the same 2012-2015 uploads as the ones that got lost when the torrent sites it was on went down, only this time they’re all bundled together in one torrent instead of by individual season)

Thanks DarkDream! Glad to see you back here on Nyaa again. :)
SilverFang
Thanks so much for the upload.
Get this while you can, this is the best quality available.
English audio only, and no subtitles.
Naughty_Gardevoir
I love your work!
Would you be interested in adding a fan restored dub of Beauty and the Beach along with the audio of Todd for ep. 51-53 to your collection?
SilverFang
@Naughty_Gardevoir
Can you explain the difference with the dub of ‘Beauty and the Beach’, for the other episodes its the name ‘Todd Snap’?
Naughty_Gardevoir
@SilverFang
Beauty and the Beach was an episode that only aired once in English and never shown again (likely to Ash and Co stealing a boat). This episode was recorded on VHS but in terrible quality. So many uploaders of this episode matched it to the Japanese release and just hard-subbed the scenes that were deleted in the dub. With the Fan restored version the English audio was still matched with the Japanese release, However with the deleted scenes removed as if it were the original dub and a custom crafted title screen with typewriter lettering to match what the original title screen would have looked like.
As for Todd Snap, in the DVD releases of the episodes: Pokemon Paparazzi, The Ultimate Test, and The Breeding Center Secret the character from Pokemon Snap was called Snap, however when airing the episodes some legal stuff happened with a cereal company so they had to change his name to Todd, thus creating Todd Snap.
SilverFang
So the episodes you have are uncut?
Are the quality good?
Naughty_Gardevoir
my beauty and the beach (actually was made by AtoMan) is not uncut, it is to simulate the actual dub release so it does not have the Japanese only uncut scenes. But it does have the English Title screen instead of the Japanese one and the Who’s that Pokemon segment with Pidgeotto both of which is missing from darkdream’s copy (and most of everyone elses). As for the quality, the video is the same source as darkdreams (Japanese dvd) and the audio come from the only English airing of this episode. (If darkdreams audio is clearer then I might use his to replace the audio in AtoMan restoration)
running out of characters so will continue in next post.
Naughty_Gardevoir
For the Todd Snap episodes. the dvd release (just about every copy pokemon you can find) uses the name Snap, while in the copy that I made you can change the audio track to say Todd if you wish. The video source is DVD rip though wasn’t encoded the same as darkdreams (I would love to use his video for this) and the Snap audio is DVD as well, however the audio track that says Todd was never put on DVD, but I was able to find it on Netflix, so I ripped the audio from Netflix and simply added it as a second track to the DVD release of the episodes: Pokemon Paparazzi, The Ultimate Test, and The Breeding Center Secret. I am currently seeding them (slowly) if you wish to check them out for yourself. And if it is okay with darkdreams I would love to redo these episodes using his release.
SilverFang
Ah I see, thanks for the explanation.
You can ask him in his website, but you need to register:

Just give him credits if you are uploading without asking him.
luneth
could this be reseeded please its not downloading very fast (I normally can get around 500-600kbps on a torrent)
SilverFang
Extracted the subtitles and chapters from the DVD, episode 18 is excluded:
https://ufile.io/vb3l7
Subtitle from the DVD is having different positions, and sometimes overlapping each other but on different places, the timing is not that good either.
Tried to fix but gave up, thats why the first episode is different compared to the rest.
Maybe someone can fix it, and later add it to the blu-ray encode.
Naughty_Gardevoir
@SilverFang
I do not understand what you mean by “add it to the blu-ray encode.” as the first 5 seasons was never released on bluray.
darkfire68
SilverFang: can you extract the chapters and subs from the other seasons from dvd? I will make a pokemon upload next year hopefully, this could be a great help for me. THX!
SilverFang
@Naughty_Gardevoir
The first 52 episodes of Pokemon will be released on bluray soon.
Without subtitles and only with english audio.
SilverFang
@darkfire68
I might do it later this year, not sure yet.

Just wanted to say the link for the S4 screenshots don’t lead to where they’re supposed to.
DarkDream787 (uploader)
@cak3, dont ask me why. The site must have gave it a new URL.

any chance for season 6 and so on? Thanks
DarkDream787 (uploader)
@kopygamez
Perhaps if nice Blu-Ray sets come out. Those Super Wallet DVD Sets are too hard to come by and I have not been able to get ahold of them to encode any more Pokemon episodes.
Naughty_Gardevoir
@DarkDream787
Do you only encode from the Super Wallet DVDs or would the iso/vob files of R1 NTSC work as well?
DarkDream787 (uploader)
@Naughty_Gardevoir
Season 1 was the R1 NTSC. I only did the super wallet sets because the other seasons were not released in R1 at the time of me encoding those seasons.
R1 NTSC would suffice if their even released in R1 and or of good quality when compared to the Super Wallet Sets quality.
Naughty_Gardevoir
@DarkDream787
If it is just a matter of obtaining R1 NTSC DVDs then I believe you can get every DVD of the first 16 seasons here.

Nysalie
Hi guys, which is the best way to go after this to complete the series?
I noticed you guys refer to this one alot https://nyaa.si/view/625112 so that’s probably what i’ll get next. The thing is, i’m new to encoding and am a bit worried that i’ll mess it up and have to download another release. There are a couple more packs around but i’m not sure which is the most complete/has better quality.
By the way thanks @DarkDream787 for the upload, great stuff you have here.
Naughty_Gardevoir
@Nysalie
If you are wanting to encode the series yourself then that like will provide you with DVD rips which are the best place to start with, however if you are just wanting to have the series in a video format such as .avi, .mp4, or .mkv then there are many torrents that can help you complete your collection.
dlnime
where i can find english subtitle?
KiteQ8
Hey. Thank you @DarkDream787 for the upload. I will be seeding for a while at 1.9MB/s.
alveifbklsiu249
Can anyone Please seed? thank you so much!
pancrack
isn’t season 5 missing episodes? should be 276
RealOtaku0
Plz seed. This is an important upload?. Thanks for the hard work, encoder
konohatobi
is this torrent got jap dub?
ChaoXide
Several of the late season 5 episodes are actually random episodes from Pokemon Chronicles, thus the actual episodes they’re labeled as are missing.
Not to mention a lot of these episodes are misnumbered to begin with and season 5 was suppose to go all the way to 276 not 264. For example: 264 - Pop Goes the Sneasel is actually some episode from Pokemon Chronicles here, but had it been the real Pop Goes the Sneasel episode it would be numbered 267.
As such anyone who downloads this, I recommend you go through each episode one by one and ensure it’s the episode titled in the filename by checking the title screen at the end of the OP. Then following an episode guide, renumber everything to proper order. Then you’d see which episodes are missing and can go get them from PM-Dragon’s (they have worse video quality but better audio quality since they didn’t re-encode lossy audio) release.

2020 AND this is still the best encode of the OG pokemon anime. all others are grainy in comparison, even those large webrips

FashionMage
This doesn’t have all of season 5, for anyone wondering.
FashionMage
The last three episodes of this aren’t actually the episodes they’re labeled as, they’re three episodes from Pokemon Chronicles?
