Max is somewhat of a know-it-all, relying mostly on book smarts than actual experience. He seems to have come under [[Brock]]'s tutelage for real-world knowledge. A running gag in the series is that Max is often excited or happy to experience firsthand an attack or ability that a Pokémon is well known for, such as {{p|Sharpedo}}'s {{a|Rough Skin}}, or {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s {{m|Sing}}.  Max also took [[Misty]]'s bit for yanking Brock by the ear whenever Brock sees a pretty woman. Max also frequently shows tension between him and his older sister May, such as telling embarrassing stories about her to others or arguing with her about the way she does certain things. For example, in the movie ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', [[May]] asked Jirachi to "get rid of the problem," and Jirachi, supposedly reading Max's thoughts, {{m|teleport}}ed her to the top of the candy mountain upside down.

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.
