Diamond and Pearl is the opening theme song for the English dub of the tenth season, Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl. It was used from Following A Maiden's Voyage! to Smells Like Team Spirit!. The opening animation is composed of clips from the eleventh Japanese opening Together, and clips from the episodes Arrival of a Rival! and A Gruff Act to Follow!. The song is sung by Chris Barczynski.

A lengthened version of the song was used in O'er the Rampardos We Watched!.

Lyrics

Pokémon!
Pokémon!
It's all about the challenges.
It's a brand new game
and a brand new world.

New rivals,
as you fight for survival.
Nothing can stop you,
Diamond and Pearl.
Pokémon!

It's all about the battle.
You gotta play smart.
You gotta move faster behind
every win there's a chance to begin, again!
You gotta take it all if you wanna be a Master...

Pokémon!
Pokémon!
It's time for adventure,
Diamond and Pearl.
We can change the world.
Pokémon!

Trivia

  • The original TV prints of the episodes did not include opening credits, but beginning with the DVD releases and on most digital prints, credits appear, much like We Will Be Heroes.
  • The song is available for streaming or download on Chris "Breeze" Barczynski's website [1].
  • This is the first time where the instrumentals of the theme were played in the ending credits.
