The official Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl website has announced that a new ending theme will begin airing in April and that the series will finally be airing in High Definition.

The new ending theme will be sung by Nakagawa Shoko, host of Pokemon Sunday. She is scheduled to have a segment during the March 26th special and the details will be announced during the broadcast, so be sure not to miss it!

On Shoko Nakagawa's blog, she announced that the new ending theme would be called: 「もえよギザみみピチュー」 (Burn with Ambition, Notch-Eared Pichu)

Well this day has finally arrived! High Definition Pokemon albeit a few years late. Will be interesting to see if its actually HD quality and 16:9 or just upscaled and widescreen. This bods well for an amazing Sinnoh League! Will also be interesting to see if Cartoon Network picks it up in HD.

Nice to hear. Looking forward to hear the new endning theme too.
And… That\'s a cute pichu. ^_^

i,m looking forward to it too and also i guess the dp episodes is going to be so long but hey i can,t wait for it too

LIEK OMFG! HDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!

...hopefully... XD;

Awesome! Hopefully #Pocketmonsters will use them for their subs. Also been waiting for Shoko-tan to sing a Pocket Monsters theme. Loved Sorairo Days.

Hopefully the animators take advantage and make the art look a bit better...

...also, I think Cartoon Network airs HD. They have little notices for it when it comes to some of their shows saying it is available in HD, like Star Wars and Ben Ten.

Yugioh 5d\'s was kept in HD when it aired on CW...or, well, atleast the aspect was kept.

This will be Shoko\'s second Pokemon ending song. She did an ending song for Pokemon Sunday a couple years ago titled: Pokemon Narikiri Sunday.
