It will likely be divided into multiple seasons for the English dub of the anime, however, at this point, there is not yet enough material for even one complete 52-episode season.
'''Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl''' is the tenth season of the [[Pokémon anime]] and the first season of the [[Diamond and Pearl]] English-language dub. It follows [[Ash Ketchum]] as he begins his journey in the Sinnoh region along with Brock, and new girl Dawn. Ash continues to collect badges, while Dawn competes in contests. It began with ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden Voyage]]'', which originally aired on April 20, 2007 in the United States, and is expected to wnd with ''[[DP057]]'' (due to the first five episodes being ordered along with Season 9).


The first 3 episodes aired on Friday, April 20th on Cartoon Network.
It is preceded by [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] and is succeeded by the un-named 11th season. It should be noted that the concept of seasons does not exist in Japan. An invention of the American animation and television industry, a season is the only way to differentiate one story arc, such as ''Diamond and Pearl'', from any other in the [[Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl (series)|Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl]] series. Unlike in Japan, where episodes are aired almost every week of the year, in America episodes are aired in usually 52-episode blocs, or "seasons," for several months before taking a break of several months to allow production on the next batch of episodes to begin.
