I figured I would mention this because it's been years since DP, and obviously there are Plenty of Pearlshippers left, but when was the last time you watched it? For me, on my TV I can access DP on demand as far as the series whenever I would like to. The movies I have to do a bit of searching for if I want to watch them. I'm honestly curious about the whole thing due to something I saw on YouTube the other day. (Where exactly I don't know, I have the memory of a Goldfish sometimes) And the YouTuber had mentioned they still watch Pokémon Advanced. So many people since watch DP, besides myself?

Man, it's been over 10 years since Diamond and Pearl ended, I believe.
I plan to re-watch the DP series hopefully soon, now that it's fully subbed in english. Still waiting for the Orange Islands to be subbed now that Kanto series is subbed.

I finished again during quarantine here. Last year, I think it was, I watched through the whole thing like a speed run in eng dub, then watched it again more casually again literally right after. Then skip forward 6 months I watched half in eng dub then half in jap dub. It’s been a few months, but I typically try to watch the series once a year or so. Life’s busy though. Working full time, practicing music, and other things and people. Like I said, you can find the ENTIRE ENG DUB and all but like 10 episodes of the JAP DUB on KISSANIME (i would recommend getting an Adblock for your chrome like “ublock origin” for that site tho). All the movies are on there too! But I own all the movies as is  |

I don't remember the last time I actually sat down and watched it. So my answer is way too long ago. If the above comments are true and the whole thing is finally English subbed, then I'm going to plan to go through it when I get some time. I would love to watch it from beginning to end. I've never managed to do it with any Pokémon series so far.

I feel like I've brought this up in every single one of my posts so far... Ten years ago was the last time I watched any DP episodes. I can even pinpoint the exact date with the help of chat logs with my friends. I don't really want to do that right now, but I seem to remember it being somewhere in April 2010. At the time, the JP version was around DP170ish and I was at DP136 in the dub. I'm stopping myself from making a wall of text, as it would be a much wider topic I'd be getting into. Basically, I was catching up too fast and wanted to build up episodes for a massive binge instead of waiting a week+ for just one episode. Little did I know I'd be waiting 10 years. In meantime, I did go back and re-watch a few episodes from the first seasons of Johto and Advance from time to time. I wanted to keep DP extra special for whenever I'd get back to it, so I managed to stop myself from watching it completely.
Anyway, since then I've just been DLing episodes and movies as they've come up. That includes all seasons, even the earlier ones. I feel like I can just say that since you're all talking about watching online. So now I have 5+ different English dubbed versions of every seasons and movie, a lot of subbed episodes, and a few in other languages because why not. And now that I'm watching again, I can finally delete the majority of this stuff and just keep the best looking ones. In relation to DP; some neat stuff I've gotten over the years are DOR (Dub Over RAW) versions of the first HD episodes (starting from DP120?) since they started a bit later in the dub and a fandubbed version of Dawn's side episode which was never officially dubbed. I haven't checked that fandub at all yet, and I thought it was some joke dub, but they also fandubbed the Porygon episode from season 1. I mean, it wasn't amazing, but they did put some effort into it.
Anyone try watching in another language that isn't English or Japanese? I like at least hearing what the characters sound like, as well as checking some of those dubbed openings. Way back when YT had full episodes of every show imaginable, someone uploaded DP episodes in Spanish. I remember Ash and Dawn sounded the exact same as the English versions, it was unreal. Like they were the same actors just speaking Spanish, at least for the few minutes I watched.

For now, I stick with the original Japanese versions. I'll get to the other versions when I get there, as long as they are still available to get.
Mentioning that, it looks like KissAnime is now shut down for good, due to copyright reasons.

Do you know what struggles me, mew151?
The fact that the Pokémon staff couldn't add the official uploads of the subtitled Japanese episodes into the Pokémon TV app!
And there would be no reasons for the illegal uploads. Once Shueisha inc. created MangaPlus, I think the similar resolve goes for the anime.

That's one of the reasons I just DL them. I've seen these sites getting taken down before. But even DL links aren't always safe as sites like Kametsu and FFShrine both got taken down in the last few years, even though they have replacements now. As far as Pokémon goes, however, I think it's safe to assume there will always be someone out there every few months doing their 30GB+ upload of every episode, either subbed or dubbed.

need a break from that. I cannot express how much more I appreciate fan-translations of anything now
