* Ash has never officially caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, {{t|Ghost}}, or {{t|Fairy}} types.

* Throughout the series ([[Pokémon movie]]s included), Ash has officially seen or encountered every single Pokémon prior to [[Generation VI]], except for {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
** This is most likely because after the airing of the [[EP038|episode]] featuring {{p|Porygon}}'s debut in Japan, over six hundred children across the country experienced adverse health effects, including [[wp:Photosensitive epilepsy|epileptic seizures]], vomiting, irritated eyes and other related symptoms, due to use of a flashing strobe effect in the episode. Because of that, this episode was [[Banned episodes|never commercially released or re-broadcast]] anywhere in the world, and the show went on hiatus for four months.
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.

** On a related note, Ash is still considered 10 years old in promotional materials as well as the [[BW001|first episode]] of ''Best Wishes'' despite ''[[BW141|Until We Meet Again!]]'' strongly implying that at least a full year had passed since his time in Johto.

* As seen in ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]'' and [[XY059]], Ash apparently has an interest in catching a {{p|Dunsparce}}.

* As of [[XY061]], it is the first time that all of Ash's Pokémon, which have the ability to evolve (except for Pikachu), are in their second stage of evolution. This has never happened in any of his previous journeys as there tends to be one Pokémon who refuses or cannot evolve yet.

* Currently in the series, there have been only two occasions in which Ash's Pokémon did not evolve whilst during an immediate crisis or battle, these being when {{AP|Caterpie evolved into Metapod|Butterfree}} and {{AP|Charmander evolved into Charmeleon|Charizard}}.
* Ever since facing [[Wattson]] in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', Ash has not won a Gym [[Badge]] in the same episode in which he meets the [[Gym Leader]].
