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.

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, the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series 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.

The ''Diamond & Pearl'' series is different from the previous two series in that it is more story driven. While there are less episodes dedicated to Ash's Gym quest or the resident Coordinator's (currently Dawn) Contest quest than previous series had in the same amount of time, more captures, more departures, and more rivals have been introduced when compared to earlier series.

Additionally, this series is the most violent and dramatic of the five so far, in part stemming from the character [[Paul]] whose training method sharply contrasts with Ash's so much that he nearly abuses his Pokémon for not doing well, and likewise stemming from the cataclysmic nature of the plot of Sinnoh's resident [[villainous team]], [[Team Galactic]], as well as [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]].
