The Diamond & Pearl series (Japanese: ポケットモンスター ダイヤモンド&パール Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl) of the Pokémon anime is the third series of the long-running anime, starting after the end of the Advanced Generation series. Like the previous series, Ash Ketchum is the main character who is joined by Brock, his longtime companion, as well as 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.

As well, a similarity to the previous series is that Ash attempted to travel to Sinnoh with only Pikachu. He was unsuccessful, however, as his recently-caught Aipom insisted on accompanying him.

So far, it covers only Diamond & Pearl in the dub, which is expected to last until DP057.

Episodes of the Diamond & Pearl series begin with the prefix DP in their numbering. For complete listing, see the list of Diamond & Pearl episodes.
