"You have to realize this is a CD single not a full length album. There are only two songs (Pokemon World and Pikachu's Vacation), and one instrumental. Pokemon World is a catchy enough tune and was the shows second theme song. Pikachu's Vaccation is a bouncy and light hearted romp and in my opinion the better of the two. I only wish it lasted longer. It would be hard to recomend this disc based on these two short songs, but the CD-ROM elements add greatly to the value. You get 3 different wallpapers for your PC and a fun screensaver too, as well as a preview of Pokemon The Movie. Another reviewer said these wallpapers were too basic, but I like the unclutered backgrounds and large characters that appear on them. The colors are bright and the images crisp. Loading these elements was easy and quick and I have had them on my computer for quite some time now. I would've given 5 stars if two or more songs were included and/or there were more interactive elements added. But then the CD probably wouldn't be this cheap.Bottom line. If you're a Pokemon fan you MUST have this disc. You'll be hard pressed finding better Pkemon wallpapers and screensavers anywhere else and you get two fun and catchy Pokemon tunes as well. GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!!"

Ah, so this is what a single is.

"Luckily this CD's price isn't as high as a normal CD's.
With only 3 songs on it(and some other trivial stuff), the Pokemon World CD isn't something you'll listen to often. But with the fact that they included the Pikachu's Winter Vacation(an EXTREMELY hard to find video) song on there, I HAD to get it. They also have an instrumental version of the song, with a nice saxophone solo.
The Pokemon World song is on the CD too. In my opinion, this is the worst Pokemon theme song ever produced by 4Kids. The lyrics even seem like a big commercial! Its obvious that the Japanese version of the season two theme is far superior.
Either way, you can get this CD for cheap from just about anywhere, and that'd make sense, since this only has 3 songs(One being almost unlistenable). And if you're interested in hearing the theme song of the Pokemon video you've most likely never seen before, then you should get this CD. The song's not half-bad either."

What in the Poke' World?

"This CD is aucutally one of the best anime CDs out there. The first track, Poke'mon World, includes the full song with exclusive lyrics. Although a good song, most of the words end in the first 1:30 and the song is 3:18. The second track, Pikachu's Winter Vacation, is very catchy, but very short. Rip off? No, although the only thing Poke'mon about this song is in the chorus when they say, "Pikachu's Vaction" twice. The third track, insrumental version of Winter Vacation, is very good, adding a saxaphone solo in there instead of lyrics which aucutally enhances the enjoyment. There's also the Enchanced CD stuff which includes the music video of Poke'mon World(the same one off of the Orange Island episodes), a cool screensaver(lots of movement and cool pics), and 4 backgrounds(2 are the same except with a different background, one with Pikachu, and the other the title with Charmander's evolutions). All in all, this CD is pretty cool... if you like Poke'mon(or cheap CDs)!"
