Ash's first hat, worn during the [[original series]], is easily the most well-known: an official [[Pokémon League]] Expo hat that was red and white with a green, stylized "L" on the front, which Ash claimed to have "sent in about a million postcards" in order to obtain. {{an|Misty}} seems to have tried to win it as well, as she stated she sent in one postcard. Ash wore this hat during his journey through [[Kanto]], the [[Orange Archipelago]], and [[Johto]], and was very attached to it, becoming enraged when {{AP|a Mankey|Primeape}} stole it and played keep-away with it in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]''. The design may be loosely based on {{ga|Red}}'s Generation I hat, and in early concept sketches for the anime, Ash's hat matched Red's exactly. | Ash's first hat, worn during the [[original series]], is easily the most well-known: an official [[Pokémon League]] Expo hat that was red and white with a green, stylized "L" on the front, which Ash claimed to have "sent in about a million postcards" in order to obtain. {{an|Misty}} seems to have tried to win it as well, as she stated she sent in one postcard.

Commonly, Ash would turn the cap backwards, particularly when he was concentrating heavily, such as when he would face a {{pkmn|Trainer}} or capture a Pokémon. This was seen most often early in his journey in Kanto, gradually becoming less frequent until his journey in Johto ended, by which time he hardly ever turned his cap. | Commonly, Ash would turn the cap backwards, particularly when he was concentrating heavily, such as when he would face a {{pkmn|Trainer}} or capture a Pokémon.

The sequence was actually a common animation practice used frequently to cut costs at the time. | ||

Like the first one, his second hat was also stolen by a monkey-like Pokémon which Ash later captured, this time [[Ash's Aipom|an Aipom]] in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong!]]''. Unlike previous occasions, Ash actually accepted that it was gone (or so he assumed), saying that he would "feel strange" without it. At the end of the episode, Aipom returned Ash's hat to him. However, Aipom followed Ash and {{ashfr}} to the Kanto Grand Festival where it stole his hat again. After Ash captured her, Aipom stole Ash's hat multiple more times as the {{series|Advanced Generation}} ended and the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} began. | Like the first one, his second hat was also stolen by a monkey-like Pokémon which Ash later captured, this time [[Ash's Aipom|an Aipom]] in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong!]]''.

Ash rarely flipped his hat during the series. Occasions on which he flipped his hat include when he was dressed as an eggplant in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'', when he was cleaning the dojo in ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]'', and during the climax of the [[M09|ninth Pokémon movie]]. | Ash rarely flipped his hat during the series.

In the {{series|XY}}, Ash wears a red hat with a white brim and a white semicircle across the front. This hat resembles the hat worn by {{ga|Red}} in [[core series|the games]] from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} onwards. | In the {{series|XY}}, Ash wears a red hat with a white brim and a white semicircle across the front.

Ash has flipped his hat | Ash has flipped his hat five times so far in this series, when he tried to catch [[Ash's Fletchling|Fletchling]] in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', when he climbed the rock wall in the Cyllage Gym in ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', when he searched for berries in ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'', during the [[M18|eighteenth Pokémon movie]] and in ''[[XY116|The Synchronicity Test!]]''. Ash has also had the tendency of adjusting his hat a lot in this series; this has been seen more commonly than seeing him flipping his hat backwards. This tendency to adjust his hat echoes Red's sprite animations from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} onwards. | ||
