Meanwhile I can watch the original seasons (at least up to Sinnoh League Victors), including most of the banned dubbed episodes, whenever I want, no internet or streaming required, thanks to having earlier copies of those seasons on DVD. Physical media will always be a better option. After all, if anything happens to the digital versions but the DVDs become unwatchable, you could rip the episodes off the discs. Plus, some early stuff got on DVD you literally can't find digital nowadays or likely ever. Disney's Buzz Lightyear of Starcommand The Adventure Begins for example? Ain't seen it anywhere on streaming and yet I can watch it on DVD whenever I want because I bought a copy when I was in Japan back in 2012.

Physical is king, yes.
