'''''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターダイヤモンド＆パール''' ''Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl''), referred to by fans as the '''''Diamond & Pearl'' series''', is the third series of the [[Pokémon anime]] and is based on the events of the [[Generation IV]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It follows the {{series|Advanced Generation}} and was succeeded by the {{series|Best Wishes}}. It ran from September 28, 2006 to September 9, 2010 in Japan and from June 4, 2007 to February 5, 2011 in the United States, although the first three episodes aired as a sneak peak in the United States on April 20, 2007. It was not given an English name until after the release of ''[[XY series|Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. | '''''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターダイヤモンド＆パール''' ''Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl''), referred to by fans as the '''''Diamond & Pearl'' series''', is the third series of the [[Pokémon anime]] and is based on the events of the [[Generation IV]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]].

Like the previous series, this series begins with [[Ash Ketchum]] beginning his journey by himself, this time through the [[Sinnoh]] region. His longtime companion {{an|Brock}} eventually rejoins him, as does {{an|Dawn}}, a rookie [[Pokémon Coordinator]] from [[Twinleaf Town]] who wishes to follow in the footsteps of her mother. | Like the previous series, this series begins with [[Ash Ketchum]] beginning his {{pkmn|journey}} by himself, this time through the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]].

Like what happened in the ''Advanced Generation'' series, both Ash and Brock received a change of clothes. As well, a similarity to the previous series is that Ash attempted to travel to Sinnoh with only {{AP|Pikachu}}. He was unsuccessful, however, as his recently-caught {{AP|Aipom}} insisted on accompanying him. | Like what happened in the ''Advanced Generation'' series, both Ash and Brock received a change of clothes.

Like ''Advanced Generation'' before it, Ash's {{an|May|previous female companion}} returned for a few episodes, wearing new clothes just as Ash and Brock do. May's outfit was based on that of her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} during {{game|Emerald}}. | Like ''Advanced Generation'' before it, Ash's {{an|May|previous female companion}} returned for a few episodes, wearing new clothes just as Ash and Brock do.
