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 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).

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. 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.
