Every Pokémon Trainer needs a hat, right?

Over his multiple decades as the protagonist of the Pokémon anime, Satoshi/Ash taught fans many things. The importance of believing in yourself. The power of friendship. And, of course, that no matter where your journeys in life may take you, a good hat is always nice to have.

The first two of those are things that you can only achieve through personal courage and life experience, but the third is something that New Era is ready to provide, through its new Pokémon collaboration line.

Part of the ongoing celebration of the Pokémon franchise’s 30th anniversary, New Era has crafted a collection featuring an all-star cast of creatures. One of the most eye-catching, from any angle, is the 59 Fifty Pokémon 30 All Over cap, with Pikachu on the front and Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise covering the other sides.

The original starter trio show up in their pre-evolution forms too, with Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle, plus Pikachu too, printed all across the cap’s lining.

If that’s too busy for your tastes, this 59 Fifty has them hanging out together on the front, with the 30th anniversary emblem on the right side and the Pokémon logo on the back.

Meanwhile, Mew’s intimidating presence means that he has the front of his 59 Fifty all to himself.

Moving on to more abstract expressions of Pokémon, the Pikachu 9 Forty A-frame Trucker caps render the series mascot in rhinestones, with your choice of three different color schemes.

And for those looking for a more understated style, New Era has a whole slew of 9 Twenty caps for fans of Pikachu, Eevee, Ditto, Mewtwo, and the Gen-1 starters.

▼ Mewtwo’s heart-shaped tail pose is an especially charming touch.

Prices range from 4,950 yen (US$31) for the 9 Twenty caps to 5,500 for the 9 Forty and 7,700 for the 59 Fifty models. The lineup goes on sale November 20 at New Era stores in Japan and through the New Era online shop here.
