'''Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles''' is the twelfth season of the [[Pokémon anime]], following up to the [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension|eleventh season]]. It is the third season of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.
'''Pokémon: DP Galactic Battles''' is the twelfth [[season]] of the [[dub]]bed version of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It is the third season of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. It follows {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} as they continue their travels throughout the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], gathering [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s and {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]]s while accompanied by {{an|Brock}}. Unlike previous seasons in the dub, there was no break between this season and the previous one.


It should be noted that the concept of seasons does not exist in Japan, where episodes of Pokémon air nearly every Thursday. An invention of the American broadcast industry, a season is typically aired new for nine months out of the year, with three months (usually during the summer) taken off to begin production for the next season, during which reruns air. In Japan, no differentiation is made between this and any other seasons in the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series. However, unlike previous seasons in the dub, there was no break between this season and the [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension|previous one]].
It originally aired in {{pmin|the United States}} as part of the 2009-2010 Cartoon Network Saturday morning lineup. It began on May 9, 2009 with the dub premiere ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'', and concluded on May 15, 2010 with ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]''. This season skipped [[DP120]] due to it being a [[clip show]].


It began with the dub of ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' and concluded with ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]''.
It is preceded by [[S11|Pokémon: DP Battle Dimension]] and succeeded by [[S13|Pokémon: DP Sinnoh League Victors]].

''As the menace of Team Galactic continues to loom over the Sinnoh region, Ash and Dawn keep getting caught up in the schemes of this mysterious group of villains—as well as facing some other unexpected challenges! Dawn’s got her hands full dealing with the many problems of her Pokémon, while Ash’s ongoing rivalry with Paul finally comes to a head in a full 6-on-6 battle! It might be the ultimate test of training styles—will our heroes come out on top?''
