Welcome to the world of Pokémon! Your very own tale of grand adventure is about to unfold in the Sinnoh region. Are you ready to join us?
Welcome to DPPt Anniversary Week 2026!
Like its namesake, this fanweek will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the games that first brought the Sinnoh region's wonders to life, alongside their counterparts (Pokémon Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl). Our event will span from September 26, 2026 to October 2, 2026, complete with various prompts that you can use, combine, and/or interpret to your liking. Please make sure to post your entries with the event's hashtag (#DPPTAnniversaryWeek2026) and tag our Tumblr account (@dppt-anniversary-week) to help us find and boost your entries!

We will be accepting SFW entries of fanwork from all kinds of art media that center around Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum (Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl included), whether featuring the Pokémon themselves or their human counterparts. Entries that are created for DPPt Anniversary Week 2026 must be original. We do not tolerate plagiarism (which includes stealing or reposting another person's work) or the use of Al generators for this event. We highly encourage entries that are centered around these three Pokémon games, but cross-overs with other Pokémon games (for example, Pokémon Legends: Arceus) are also accepted as entries. Entries containing Original Characters (OC) are allowed.
For fanfic writers, you can upload your entries on Archive of Our Own (AO3) in our collection that's titled "DPPt Anniversary Week 2026”.
This fanweek is hosted by @doodlejoltik, @protagpigeon, and @souenkun.
Please remember to properly tag and trigger warn your entries if they warrant any. We only accept SFW entries. Inc/st or depictions of adult x minor romantic relationships in your entries will not be accepted.
Reblogs are appreciated! Spread the word so that other trainers can leap into the Sinnoh region, too 🩵🩷
