1st Warning (1993-Early 2000s)
![](/w/thumb.php?f=Viz_Video_Warning_Screen_for_the_DVDs.png&width=300)
Visuals: On a navy blue background, at the top of the screen is the red-orange text "FBI WARNING", sandwiched between two lines. Below it is the warning text.
Technique: None.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on most Viz Video/Pioneer Entertainment VHS and DVD releases from the era.
- It appears on VHS releases of Pokémon: Indigo League and early volume releases of Pokémon: The Johto Journeys, until moving onto the next warning, which the DVD releases already used from the start.
- This also makes a surprise appearance on the 1997 VHS release of Tamagotchi: Video Adventures, which was distributed by Bandai.
2nd Warning (Early 2000s-Early 2010s)
![](/w/thumb.php?f=Viz_Video_Warning_Screen_for_the_DVDs_%282000s%29.png&width=300)
Visuals: Same as the 1981-2004 Warner Home Video warning screen, but the text in the white square is more modern, "FBI" and the FBI seal are incorrectly out of place near the square, "FBI" isn't in bold, and the FBI seal is colored.
Technique: None.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on most Viz Media releases from the era.
Legacy: This is considered to be a very cheap warning screen, a common complaint being that it looks like it was completed on Microsoft Paint.
3rd Warning (Early 2010s-)
![](/w/thumb.php?f=Viz_Video_Warning_Screen_for_the_DVDs_%282010s%29.png&width=300)
