The '''''Diamond & Pearl'' series''' of the [[Pokémon anime]] (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 long-running anime, starting after the end of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. Like the previous series, [[Ash Ketchum]] is the main character who is joined by {{an|Brock}}, his longtime companion, as well as {{an|Dawn}}, a rookie [[Pokémon Coordinator]] who wishes to follow in the footsteps of her mother. Like what happened in the ''Advanced Generation'' series, both Ash and Brock received a change of clothes.
The '''''Diamond & Pearl'' series''' of the [[Pokémon anime]] (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 long-running anime, starting after the end of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. It ran from September 28, 2006 to September 9, 2010 in Japan and began airing on April 20, 2007 in the United States.


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


So far, it covers [[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]], which ended with ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension]], which started with ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears!]]'' and ended with ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]], which started with ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' and ended with ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'' and [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]], which started with ''[[DP158|Regaining the Home Advantage!]]'', in the dub.
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 ''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. {{an|May}}'s outfit was based on that of her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} during {{game|Emerald}}.

The ''Diamond & Pearl'' series is different from the previous two series in that it is more story driven. While there have to date been 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.  It also appears to, so far, feature the most times in which Ash himself is shown not wearing his hat.

Additionally, this series is the most violent and dramatic of the three so far, in part stemming from the character [[Paul]] whose training method contrasts sharply 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]].

The final Japanese story arc began airing in mid-2010. The series concluded on September 9, 2010.
