'''''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'') is the third series of the [[Pokémon anime]] and is based on the events of the [[Generation IV]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It follows ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and was succeeded by ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. It ran from September 28, 2006 to September 9, 2010 in Japan and from June 4, 2007 to February 5, 2011 in {{pmin|the United States}}, although the first three episodes aired as a sneak peak in the United States on April 20, 2007. Two special episodes ([[DPS01]] and [[DPS02]]) were later shown on February 3, 2011 in Japan. It was not given an English name until after the release of ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.

Like the previous series, this series begins with [[Ash Ketchum]] beginning his {{pkmn|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 [[Johanna|her mother]].

Like what happened in ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'', 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-{{pkmn2|caught}} {{AP|Aipom}} insisted on accompanying him.
Like what happened in ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'', both Ash and Brock received a change of clothes. As well, a similarity to the previous series is that 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. May's outfit was based on that of her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} during {{game|Emerald}}.


Much like what occurred near to the end of the original series's journey through [[Johto]], with the move from cel-based coloring to digital coloring, ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' featured the show's move from a standard definition 4:3 presentation to a high-definition 16:9 format near to the middle of the Sinnoh journey. Additionally, moves like {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}} started being rendered in CGI following this transition.
