Max is unique of the main characters in that he actually knew of Ash before he met up with him. Max watched the [[Silver Conference]] live and then continually watched the videos he made of it. When he stopped to find out who was making noise in the gym, he was surprised to see one of the competitors standing in the Gym. However, the two did not get off to a good start as Max continued to put Ash down, assuming that he could have defeated {{jo|Harrison}}. After seeing Ash battle Norman, however, Max became impressed with Ash and soon decided to travel with him and May. Max's admiration of Ash has been seen on numerous occasions since then, though he admires his father even more. | Max is unique of the main characters in that he actually knew of Ash before he met up with him.

[[Image:DoIHearaRalts.jpg|right|205px|thumb|Max and {{TP|Max|Ralts}}]]The question of Max's starter Pokémon was raised a number of times while he was traveling in Hoenn. Between the Hoenn starters, it appears that he would have chosen {{p|Treecko}} as that is what he told May she should have chosen. However, in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'' he speculates that he could receive anything. Not knowing who it will be leads to some of the conflict and resolution with [[Max (Hoenn)|his doppelganger]] in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out]]''. At the end of that episode he stated that {{Ho|Max}} is lucky as he already knows who the Pokémon he will start his {{pkmn|training}} with will be. Max finally did meet his future partner in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' when he befriended a weakened {{p|Ralts}}. Wanting to show his responsibility he took care of it and brought it to a [[Pokémon Center]] with a little help from {{ | [[Image:DoIHearaRalts.jpg|right|205px|thumb|Max and {{TP|Max|Ralts}}]]The question of Max's starter Pokémon was raised a number of times while he was traveling in Hoenn.

However, while Max does not own any Pokémon he has befriended a variety of different species during his travels: {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, and a {{p|Shuppet}} in the episode ''[[AG081|Take This House and Shuppet]]''. He simply played with the Shuppet, after fleeing from the team when he became angered with May. Max has also occasionally borrowed [[May's Munchlax]], such as in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path!]]'' when he needed a Pokémon to take part in an [[Pokémon Orienteering|Orienteering contest]]. | However, while Max does not own any Pokémon he has befriended a variety of different species during his travels: {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, and a {{p|Shuppet}} in the episode ''[[AG081|Take This House and Shuppet]]''.

Due to not being a Trainer, he is unable to train his own Pokémon. However, this hasn't stopped him from befriending or borrowing Pokémon, either wild or belonging to someone else. However, whenever he has taken control of a Pokémon he tends to rely on defensive techniques such as {{m|Protect}}. | Due to not being a Trainer, he is unable to train his own Pokémon.
