* May and Max are the only friends of Ash not to meet Ash's rival, [[Gary Oak]], at one time or another. Ironically, May took one of Professor Oak's {{TP|May|Squirtle}}, just as Gary had done when he started out. Also they both ended up getting an {{p|Eevee}} along their journeys and evolving it into an [[Eeveelution]] that would debut in the next generation that they premiered in. | * May and Max are the only friends of Ash not to meet Ash's rival, [[Gary Oak]], at one time or another.

* When May reappears as a guest character, she appeared in five episodes, compared to the two episodes [[Misty]] appeared in for her guest appearance during the Hoenn saga. However, Misty also made a second guest appearance from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa Hanger]]'', a further three episodes. Misty also appeared in four {{g|Sunday}}/{{pkmn|Chronicles}} specials, an option not available to May. | * When May reappears as a guest character, she appeared in five episodes, compared to the two episodes [[Misty]] appeared in for her guest appearance during the Hoenn saga.

*Strangely, like Ash has, May owns three Pokémon that have evolved twice. Two of them are starters from Kanto and Hoenn ([[Ash's Charizard]] and {{AP|Sceptile}}, [[May's Blaziken]] and {{TP|May|Venusaur}}), while the third is their native region's butterfly ([[Ash's Butterfree]], [[May's Beautifly]]). | *Strangely, like Ash has, May owns three Pokémon that have evolved twice.

*Recently, former director and storyboard artist of the Pokémon anime, Masamitsu Hidaka, admitted that the reason that May was introduced is similar in scope as to why {{Tracey}} was introduced. However, rather than being because of a fear of cries of racism, Hidaka implied that they switched the girls around to give older male fans eye candy, as well as to use Ken Sugimori's designs for the newer game characters. His perceived sexist statement has been debated by fans since this revelation. | *Recently, former director and storyboard artist of the Pokémon anime, Masamitsu Hidaka, admitted that the reason that May was introduced is similar in scope as to why {{Tracey}} was introduced.
