This is a list of episodes in Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl, aired in Japan as Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl (ポケットモンスター ダイヤモンド＆パール Poketto Monsutā Daiyamondo to Pāru?), the tenth season of the Pokémon animated series, covering the continuing adventures of series protagonist Ash Ketchum as he travels to Sinnoh and meets new friends.
The division between seasons of Pokémon is based on the English version openings of each episode, and may not reflect the actual production season. The English episode numbers are based on their first airing in the United States either in syndication on Cartoon Network, or on the WB Television Network. Other English-speaking nations largely followed either this order or the Japanese order. Subsequent airings of the English version follow the original Japanese order, except in the case of episodes which are no longer shown in English. While this series has not yet been aired in English, presumably it will have a new introduction. Recently on Toonzone.net, the Pokemon schedules say that the first three episodes of Diamond and Pearl are going to air starting March 10th on Cartoon Network. However this is proven false. On March 21, 2007, Pokemon.com announced that on April 20, 2007, Cartoon Network will be airing a sneak peak of this season. Cartoon Network has confirmed it to be a movie. It will most likely be of the first three episodes, as Japan did. According to the preview on the Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea DVD, the series is expected to begin on June 4, 2007.
This season began airing first-run episodes in Japan on September 28, 2006 and is still currently airing.
