Pokemon Diamond & Pearl VOL 1 Manga Dub
Project Overview
This is a dubbing of the first volume of the Pokemon Adventures Diamond and Pearl arc. The story follows Diamond and Pearl, an aspiring manzai comedy duo accidentally going on a journey through the Sinnoh region with the daughter of a wealthy family, Platinum Berlitz, acting as her bodyguards. We’re currently only casting and focused on working on the first volume, so other important characters (I.E Cyrus and the other Gym Leaders) will not appear at this time.

Diamond is the stooge (boke) of the comedy duo, with his childhood friend Pearl playing the straight man. Despite appearing seemingly dopey and slow-witted when performing his role, he is actually very perceptive.
Diamond is often apathetic and rarely not seen eating...While not fat, he is much less active and energetic when compared to Pearl or Platinum, as seen when Platinum mused that every morning since the trio began traveling together, Diamond would perpetually end up being the last to get up. However, he is always serious when it comes to food...

Pearl is impatient and is often accidentally getting himself and his friend, Diamond into trouble. He is the straight man (tsukkomi) of the comedy duo, while Diamond is the funny man.
Compared to Diamond, Pearl is hasty and easily angered and, according to Diamond, always goes out of his way to complete things he has started, which reflects the virtue that he is aligned with: willpower, Pearl is around 12 years old, is hasty, impatient, somewhat bossy, and quick to anger.
