Character Profile
Max is the navigator of the group, using the PokeNavi (which his
parents gave him) to help his friends reach their desired destinations.
Despite his young age, he has an encyclopedia-like knowledge of
Pokemon, challenging Ash and Brock's experience and far outweighting
what his sister, May, knows. Although these travelling siblings
love each other, they tend to fight quite a bit. He can be quite
obnoxious, however is a caring child and has a fanatic love of Pokemon.
At first Max and Ash didn't get a long. When Ash and friends arrived
at the Petalburg Gym, Max first insulted Ash by laughing at him
for losing to Harrison at the Johto Legue Championships. He then
pretended that he was the gym leader the trainer had come to face.
But after a short while Max has grown to see Ash as a bit of an
idol, someone who can teach him more about Pokémon, and Ash
seems to enjoy the attention. They have become as close as siblings
(Pokemon 6: Wishing Star of Seven Nights).
Character Info
Max is somewhat based upon the Pokemaniac trainers from the Game
Boy games.
