Ash Hat-Switching

[Day Break]

Remember when Ash used to turn his hat around when he throws a pokeball? Why doesn't he do that anymore?

 

[Shinx3000]

well, that was in the late 90's when the anime started and Ash had the backwards cap before a battle and kids and people put their caps backward then, but do you see many people doing that today? Walking around with backward caps? Maybe thats why it changed, cause in real life the style changed.

But if Ash started to wear his hat backwards again couldn't that encourage kids that watch Pokemon today start copying Ash and wearing there hats backwards and the hat turning phase from the 90's could be revived.

Well I though that was nothing but a recyled animation that they dumped around Johto. Though for a fangirl like me, I liked it! ^_^

Let's all pray it doesn't. o.o

So Lady Marie you reckon that Ash's hat turning was just another thing dumped around Johto just like the GS ball it probably was. To bad Ash hat turning didn't continue into the next sagas it use to be quite anmuseing.

I don't know which part of Johto,but it was dropped there, maybe early Johto.

At first it seemed sorta cool but after 254 times the effect wore off.

Probably Ash's hat turning wont be cool now because the writers decided to make Ash more mature.

I think Ash's mouth was off-screen for part of it, making it ideal for having him call for one of his Pokémon.

How is turnng your hat immature? It's not like he did it as an insult to someone. He did it because he was serious about something.

 

[Day Break]

Turning your isn't in-mature the writers decided that Ash must grow up so that means no more turning his hat,no more cheating in gym battles and no more being a shit-head my point is that now Ash is now a lot more smarter the writers probably decided to drop the turning of the hat segment but if the the writers decided not to make Ash grow up the turning of the hat segment probably be still going.

 

[Cybersai]

I just figured they stopped doing it 'cause there was no reason to do it anymore.

Ash just matured as he became more experienced. Turning of the hat just would make him seem like a rookie/ inexperienced.
Besides it would get soo annoying to see that every episode.

As an Ash fangirl, I loved it when Ash used to turn his hat around. Especially when he does that in "Throwing In The Noctowl". :crush:

Anyway, the most recent episodes where they show Ash with his hat backwards are, "Claydol Big and Tall" and "Pasta La Vista". They didn't actually show him turn his hat around, though. But his Hoenn hat was shown backwards in the anime. And I really enjoyed seeing that!! ^_^

no more cheating in gym battles

When did he ever cheat in gym battles? Or do you just mean no more pity badges?

I thought the hat turning was pretty cool, but it would just seem out of place nowadays.

 

[Ashachu2]

I remember him doing that I had forgot all about that part. I think they should do that again for atleast one more episode.

 

[pikachu200]

I agree that was always cool

 

[Day Break]

Rocket Girl I meant the pity badges Ash got and Ashachu2 I agree with you they should do the hat turning segment for at least one more episode.

 

[Mooites]

He should do that in the final episode. That'd be pretty epic.
