Ash and Dawn have had great moments, so this is to see what DP seasons are liked best. Personally, I liked Galactic Battles because it was the High Touch season in disguise. Then again the Japanese is the original. Although I do want to know if the most shipped seasons are the best ones in general in terms of plot, characters, and everything else judged by critics. (You can pick 2)

Sinnoh league victors because they looked so close (even ursula said that) and supported each other the most and behaved as if they were a couple that season and i don't think they ever really fought with one another.

I second Nova. Both High Touch and Battle Cry are actually on my top 3 Pokémon Themes (along with Gotta Catch 'em all, of course). Also, I felt like Ash and Dawn really started to get close in Galactic Battles and started showing them hints Let's not forget about Lyra's appearance either! And the Team Galactic episodes were just AWESOME

I seriously find all the seasons great, Pearlshipping wise. But if I choose, I choose two: Galactic Battles and Sinnoh League Victors. Galactic Battles was the point where their relationship just growed by each episode. Although Sinnoh League Victors had less episodes than the previous seasons, it showed many aspects of their relationship and it showed that nothing can break this and can surpass it, example is the final episode of the DP-series.
Besides, the theme songs (English version) were great, especially Battle Cry. And said earlier, of course, High Touch!

Movies do count as part of its own season, so consider that as well. I do think that 12 and 13 were better than the other seasons IMO. Is there any correlation between Pearl and the seasons, or is it just because Ash and Dawn (not Brock) are more developed?

Movie 13 was good, although it didn't had much Pearlshipping moments, compared to the movies prior.
There may be a correlation between Pearl and the seasons, but I think it's just that Ash and Dawn are way more developed each time.

*sigh* Why do you do this, NovaStorm? Making mind-boggling choices on which is favored towards the other?
All right. If I have to choose, Diamond and Pearl and Galactic Battles.
Diamond and Pearl began Pearlshipping's first step in episode 4, passing through Dawn's introduction throughout the 1st 3 episodes and Ash's arrival in Sinnou. Continuing onwards, Dawn progresses until she faced a roadblock that makes her unable to keep her spirits up until mid-Season 2. It began Ash and Dawn's high five, Dawn's cute cheering squad for Ash, their dynamic keeps getting better and better.
Galactic Battles mostly due to more sreentime for the rivals. We see Zoey's hometown, Paul's angst against the Battle Frontier King and Ash and Paul's first full battle was so memorable it really hurts to see the result of it. I did like that one episode where Ash and Dawn were training with Ash's Gliscor to control his flying abilities. The rest I just remembered Team Galactic episodes, the Gyms and Contests and Gible being in Ash's possession now. I was hoping we would get to see Jimmy and Marina (from Raikou: Legend of Thunder special) for the Johto Festival. We see cameos of Marina and no full appearances? What a missed opportunity.
Battle Dimensions as 3rd, which introduces Cynthia, Barry, various Gym Leaders, Team Galactic and Paul's Chimchar now in Ash's possession. Good mentions include Pokémon Ranger, May's cameo, Wallace Cup, Dawn's returning spirit and her first Gym Battle and Jessie earning her Contest Ribbons. That Pokémon Summer Academy arc kind of slowed down the journey a bit even with Conway's appearances there.
Sinnou League Victories dragged the standby of the 8th Gym Battle, taking.... how many episodes it took since its first episode to Ash VS Volkner. Even though the Sinnou League gave us 1 of the best League battles, it was kind of rushed. Heck, Ash was able to beat Darkrai earning his top 4 spot and the trainer after him couldn't touch Darkrai.

I think the others did a more wonderful job explaining to why the Galactic battles beats the rest ^_^ So I'll drop off a comment here :3

I'm actually surprised Rival Destinies hasn't received a single vote yet

I think we're more focused on Dawn as the main character, than her as a 'long cameo' appearance. But her cameo appearance definitely showed a lot for Pearlshipping .
