  I remember when DP originally aired, so many fans were outraged that Brock "suddenly" decided to become a Pokemon doctor. Um...what? It's been hinted at forever!

  The DP anime was a major turning point for the anime because it acted as both a beginning and an ending.  It was the last series that used the original formula and executed it perfectly. However, it also defined what future series should strive to be by setting the groundwork.

  The character arc of infernape, ash's humbleness and battle strategy, awesome rival. This is my favourite series so far

  It definitely is funny how DP did the double protagonist concept better than Journeys has without the writers even having to declare the series as doing that. It really goes to show just how well written and natural that DP was

  Diamond and Pearl really had that perfect blend of character development, memorable episodes (*including* filler), menacing antagonists, and some of the most technical, amazingly-written battles this whole series has ever seen. It's easily my favorite saga.

  Ash and Dawn definitely had the best dynamic when it comes to him and the pokegirls. Can't wait for BW next week. That should hilariously interesting

  The way ash bought sceptile into the battle against darkrai is sick , that's one of the reasons I like diamond and pearl .

  This was Ash's peak season. It tackled heavy moments with Hunter Jay, gave him an awesome rival in Paul and during the Pokemon league instead of keeping his region team for the whole thing, he was smart to rotate through all his pokemon. That showed real growth in him. Dawn and Brock were great too.

  I love diamond and pearl the overarching goal and story is just incredible with Brock finding his goal, Dawn reaching hers, and Ash try to be a Pokémon master. I also love that all the Pokémon have an overarching personality and kind of like there own story to tell, and you can't find any of those stuff as good as you can find it in diamond and pearl

  THIS IS THE TRUE DUAL PROTAGONIST SERIES. Goh is clearly shifts the views on him, and Ash almost feels like he's here only for branding. Meanwhile, for almost of all DP's run, both Ash and Dawn were equally important for the story, there development was also equally important: both had a crisis of persona, a redemption, and a payoff. So yeah, DP is doing the stuff JN known for way better, then years earlier
