'''Smoochum''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ムチュール ''Muchul'') is an {{2t|Ice|Psychic}}-type Pokémon. It evolves into {{p|Jynx}}.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Smoochum is a small Pokémon that resembles a baby girl. It has a large head with blonde hair, purple colored skin, large eyes and a pair of large lips. It has a light colored chest, arms and feet and a purple colored abdomen, give it the appearance of wearing pants.
===Gender differences===
Smoochum is an all-female species with no male counterpart.

===Special abilities===
==Behavior==
A Smoochum will use her lips to examine something that she sees for the first time. When walking, a Smoochum rocks her head back and forth. Despite being a Baby Pokémon, Smoochum are very conscious about their appearance. When given the chance, a Smoochum will look at her reflection to make sure it isn't dirty.

In [[EP203|''The Screen Actor's Guilt'']], action-movie actor [[Brad Van Darn|Brad]] had a Smoochum. Brad's agent is afraid that Brad would have his image as an action star ruined if they found out that he owned a Smoochum.

Another Smoochum was in ''[[AG168|Three Jynx and a Baby]]''. She got herself separated from a trio of Jynx sisters and stumbled upon [[Team Rocket]]. [[Jessie]] had plans on using Smoochum's cuteness for profit, but her plans were foiled by the three Jynx Sisters and {{Ash}} and [[Ash's friends|friends]].

=Trivia=
*The colors used in Smoochum's Generation II shiny sprite are the colors used in the normal-colored sprites afterwards.
==Origin==
Smoochum may be based on ガン黒 ''{{wp|ganguro}}'', blonde-haired, tanned Japanese girls, but is meant to resemble an otherwise normal human child. It should be also noted that {{wp|Yuki Onna}}, a possible origin for Jynx, is sometimes shown as holding a seemingly human child.

===Name origin===
Smoochum's name is based on ''smooch'', or ''{{wp|kiss}}''. It may also be a pun on ''smooch 'em''. Its Japanese name is based on 夢中 ''muchū'', daze or trance, and ちゅう ''chu'', the sound of a kiss.
Its German name, Kussilla, comes from {{tt|Kuss|kiss}}. Its French name, Lippouti, is a combination of the English word ''lip'' and {{tt|poutou|kiss}}. Its Korean name, 뽀뽀라 ''Ppoppora'' includes Ppoppo, which is a small peck or kiss.

'''Dawn''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリ''' ''Hikari'') is a ten-year-old girl traveling through [[Sinnoh]] with {{Ash}} and [[Brock]]. Her goal is to become a great [[Pokémon coordinator|coordinator]] like her mother, [[Johanna]]. Her first [[Pokémon]] is a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} that she received from [[Professor Rowan]] in the [[DP001|first Diamond & Pearl episode]]. She is voiced by 豊口めぐみ ''[[Megumi Toyoguchi]]'' in the Japanese version, [[Emily Jenness]] in the English dub, by [[Fernanda Bulara]] in the Brazilian dub, and by Gaby Ugarte in the Latin American Spanish dub.

==In the anime==
===Character===
Dawn is notable for her confidence, since she is always looking towards the future rather than dwelling on her mistakes. In the Japanese version, she often says, "{{tt|Daijōbu!|'It's fine!' or 'It'll be alright!'}}" Although not consistently translated in the English dub at first, she began to regularly use "No need to worry!".

Like Ash, she is lucky enough to have seen a [[legendary Pokémon]], the projected soul of {{p|Mesprit}} in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]''.

She had a [[bicycle]], but like [[Misty]]'s and {{an|May}}'s bikes, Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} destroyed it with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, she did not mention this to Ash until over 30 episodes after it happened. Johanna gave Dawn one of her old [[ribbon]]s from her days as a coordinator as a gift for luck. She also had a large suitcase full of dresses, but her mother made her leave it at home due to its impracticality.

Out of all of Ash's friends, Dawn is the only one so far to have her debut episode dedicated completely to herself. Unlike other debut episodes, Ash didn't even appear until the last 30 seconds. Additionally, she is the one of Ash's friends to get the most development.

She has a [[Contest Pass]] for the Sinnoh region. In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'', when she competed in the [[Hearthome City]] {{pkmn|Contest}}, she lost in the Appeal Round, making her the first of the main characters to drop out of a contest by losing the appeal round. In [[DP061]], she lost the Appeal Round for second time in a row.

She has two childhood friends that appeared in the anime, [[Kenny (Sinnoh)|Kenny]] and [[Yumomi]], both of which call her sometimes '''Dee Dee''' (Japanese: '''ピカリ''' ''Pikari''). Dawn has prevented them from telling Ash and Brock about the reason why she has this nickname. She seems to be closer to Yumomi than to Kenny.

Like [[I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~|May]], she has her own [[List of Japanese ending themes|ending theme song]], titled 君のそばで〜ヒカリのテーマ〜 ''[[By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~]]''. It is the first ending of the Diamond & Pearl anime. The song is performed by グリン ''Grin''.

===Achievements===
*Unofficial contest in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'' - Runner-Up
* [[Sinnoh Double Battle Tournament]]  (Runner-up - with [[Conway]])

===Trivia===
*May and Misty were girls who traveled with Ash Ketchum. Both of them have Japanese names including the katakana '''カ''' ''ka'' and dub names starting with ''M'', so some fans believed Dawn would as well have a dub name starting with ''M'', because she had カ in her name. However, this was revealed to be false when her English name was revealed to be Dawn, which appears to reference [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]] as [[Paul]] references [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]]. "Dawn" may also be a reference to "Hikari," which means "light"--dawn is essentially the day's first light.
*Just like Ash's Pikachu, her Piplup wasn't ready to obey her when they first met. Eventually, they became fast friends.
*She is the only female main character that doesn't have a sibling.
[[Image:Dawnpll.JPG|220px|thumb|right|Dawn in [[Pokémon Learning League]].]]
*Unlike Ash's [[Ash's Friends|other friends]], Dawn has already crossed a lot of boundaries that have previously only been held by Ash.
**She saw a [[legendary Pokémon]] prior to meeting Ash.
**She's the first main character to capture an {{type2|Electric}} [[Dawn's Pachirisu|Pokémon]] besides Ash.
**Having already captured {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, and {{AP|Buizel}}, Dawn has captured more Pokémon in her first 35 episodes that any of the other main characters aside from Ash. This isn't including the Pokémon they all started with.
***Misty captured {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} and {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} before [[EP035]].
***Brock captured {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} before ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]''.
***Tracey captured {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}} before ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]'' (by which point he wasn't even traveling with Ash any longer) and hasn't captured ''anything'' since.
***May captured {{TP|May|Wurmple}} before ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew]]''.
***Comparatively, Ash captured {{AP|Caterpie}}, {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Charmander}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Krabby}}, {{AP|Primeape}}, {{AP|Muk}}, and all 30 of his {{AP|Tauros}} before the end of [[EP035]].
**She was the first main character other than Ash to battle a [[Lucian|member]] of the [[Elite Four]].
*Dawn is the second {{pkmn|Coordinator}} that is voiced by ''[[Megumi Toyoguchi]]'' in Japanese, the first being [[Janet]].
*She is one of two of Ash's friends who is not or part of a [[Gym Leader]] family. [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]] is probably the other. However, this is only presumed as no information is known about her father or Tracey's family.
*She is the only one of [[Ash's friends]] to lose the Appeal Round in a contest, which she has done twice.
*On the [[Pokémon Learning League]] website, her clothing has been altered so that her white undershirt has sleeves and she is wearing black stockings or tights.
*Dawn is the first Pokémon Trainer introduced as a novice to not have a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon be her first evolution, as {{Ash}}'s first evolving Pokémon was [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]], and {{an|May}}'s was [[May's Beautifly|Wurmple]]. Dawn's first evolving Pokémon was [[Dawn's Ambipom|Aipom]].
*She is the only main character aside from Ash to challenge an official Pokémon Gym, and the first of Ash's friends to compete in an official Gym Battle in the main series since ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]'' and ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where [[Brock]] battled Ash and [[Misty]] battled [[Ash]] respectively.
** Counting side-stories, the last time anyone besides Ash or his rivals were shown challenging a Gym Leader would be ''[[H005|The Blue Badge of Courage]]'', where [[Sakura]] fought Misty.
*Every Pokémon Dawn has captured or received has been in the {{egg|Ground}} [[egg group]].
*When Dawn had Buizel, she had two {{type2|Water}}s, while afterwards, with Aipom, then Ambipom, she has two {{type2|Normal}}s. These relate to Ash's previous two female traveling partners, as Misty is a Gym Leader who specializes in Water-types, while May's father [[Norman]] is a Gym Leader that specializes in Normal-types.
*All of Ash's female friends have a native Korean word as their name in Korean version ([[Misty|dew]], {{an|May|spring}} and shine respectively). Such names were trendy in late 70s, now they are rare.

== Biography ==
Bianca, known as "xdeadpan" on most message boards and communities, is a webmistress, whose interests involve video games, anime and foreign movies. She currently runs three domains [http://www.broken-body.net/ Broken-Body.net], [http://www.stage-on.net/ Stage-On.net] and [http://www.crossing-blades.net/ Crossing-Blades.net], two of which are dedicated to fanlistings. She joined the Bulbapedia as a SOVA member and still heavily supports the cause, as she solidly believes the original voice actors were the heart and soul of the show.

Bianca is an avid fan of [[Eevee]], [[Max]], [[Hikari]] and many "unconventional" shippings, particularly [[SundaeShipping]], [[ApprenticeShipping]] and [[PetalburgShipping]]. She also enjoys [[PalletShipping]] and [[ContestShipping]].

This user's trying to pick a fight with me over [[Melodi]]. He's insisting that closed captioning is not to be trusted, even if it's the only evidence of a dub name we have, which is true of Melodi as well as [[Karsten]]. He insists that I came to a "stupid conclusion" based on what he insists "isn't actually her name", which is far from the truth--I actually run the closed captioning track, hence I saw the name "Melodi" pop up on the screen firsthand! And it appears he won't give in unless it's agreed not to use closed captioning, which would be a stupid move since it's a very useful tool to use here at Bulbapedia! --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:56, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

It appears he's trying to pick another fight with me, this time over the opening theme played for [[EP082]] and [[EP083]]. He's insistent that [[Pokémon World]] was the theme that played for those two episodes for their Kids WB airings, yet I remember [[Pokémon Theme]] playing for those two episodes on Kids WB. He's using the platform that Pokémon Theme for those two episodes is a Cartoon Network-only thing, when multiple people say otherwise. And I don't think he plans to back off unless he gets everyone to agree that his lie is true. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 23:01, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

== Help ==

Shiny Noctowl is being stubborn again. Basically this one user wants to list Misty winning Togepi in the private competition between her, Ash, Brock, and Meowth to be noted in Misty's Achievements section. I removed it twice and Shiny Noctowl keeps reverting my edits. The reason I believe it shouldn't be under her achivements is:
#It was a private competition. It wasn't like other trainers could enter it nor was it an special annual event. It was a result of an argument.
#If we list it on Misty's page we would also have to list on Ash's, Brock's, and Meowth's pages.
#We would also have to list the competition between Ash and Misty when they fought over who really caught Totodile.
#Does this mean we will have to list the achievements of all of Team Rocket's "The Odd Finger" games?

I don't believe competitions that resulted from an argument between trainers should count as Achievements. Achievements are won at official competitions were more then just Ash and his friends, and enemy's, enter.

== {{u|Shiny Noctowl}} and Pokémon Platinum ==

Apparently, Shiny Noctowl is convinced that [[Pokébeach]]'s report on Pokémon Platinum is 100% proof of the game's existence. However, even Pokébeach believes it might be a hoax and are considering the Pokémon Platinum news as a rumor. I put a disputed tag on the [[Pokémon Platnium]] article because of this, but Shiny Noctowl went and removed the tag for no apparent reason. I've put the tag back up, but I fear that this could turn into an edit war.

The pages in question are [[Talk:Dragon trio]], [[Talk:The Great Bulbapedia Turkey Shoot]], and [[Talk:Omanyte (Pokémon)]]. He's trying to instigate a fight with me over this issue, and it even spilled out onto [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Fabu-Vinny's talk page in a heading I'd created to try to help resove this mess]].

'''Max''' (Japanese: '''マサト''' ''Masato'') is a young boy from the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], and one of the travelling companions of [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]]. He is the only main character thus far who was not a [[Pokémon trainer]] and he did not own any [[Pokémon]] during the entire [[Advanced Generation]] series. He is the younger brother of [[May (anime)|May]], and the son of [[Norman]], the [[Gym#Petalburg Gym|Petalburg]] [[Gym Leader]], and [[Caroline]]. His Japanese voice actor is 山田ふしぎ ''[[Fushigi Yamada]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Amy Birnbaum]] ([[AG003]]-[[AG145]] ) and [[Kayzie Rogers]] ([[AG146]]-present). His Brazilian voice actor is ''[[Thiago Keplemaier]]''.

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. Max also took [[Misty]]'s bit for yanking Brock by the ear whenever Brock sees a pretty woman. Max also frequently shows tension between he and his older sister May, such as telling embarassing stories about her to others or arguing with her about the way she does certain things.

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, 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 [[Harrison (Johto League)|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.

[[Image:AG21.jpg|left|thumb|Max is happy.]]The question of Max's starter Pokémon was raised a number of times while he was travelling 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 his doppelganger in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out]]''. At the end of that episode he stated that Max is lucky as he already knows who the Pokémon he will start his [[Pokémon training|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 [[Ash's Glalie|Ash's Snorunt]]. When the two parted ways at the end of the episode, they promised to meet up again when Max was eligible to be a trainer.

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}}, 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]].

[[Image:AG015.jpg|left|thumb|Max is studying.]]Despite this, Max has been in a couple of [[Pokémon battle]]s. In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule the School]]'', Max spent a day at [[Roxanne]]'s Trainers School where he battled with a {{p|Poliwag}} against a {{p|Magby}}. He used strategy in increasing Poliwag's defense as much as possible with {{m|Defense Curl}} but this backfired when Magby managed to get enough hits in during this time to knock Poliwag out. In the episode ''[[AG046|Candid Camerupt!]]'', Max borrowed [[Ash's Corphish]] for a battle against [[Winstrate Family|Vivi Winstrate]]. He also briefly commanded Ralts to send Team Rocket blasting off in the episode mentioned above.

Max is similar to [[Ritchie]] in his lack of popularity in the fandom. This has been stated on many occasions to be to do his lack of Pokémon, giving him little purpose compared to other main characters. However, certain episodes such as ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' and ''[[AG191|Home is Where the Start Is]]'' have redeemed him in some fans' eyes.

At the end of Advanced Generation, May announced that she wished to travel to Johto alone. This initially upset Max but Ash cheered him up with the promise of a battle between the two when Max becomes a trainer. He is currently staying at home in Petalburg City and has so far not been seen since Ash began his journey in Sinnoh.

*His appearance is based upon the [[School Kid]] trainer class. He also somewhat resembles the young boy that lives in Littleroot in Ruby and Sapphire.
*His Japanese name, ''Masato'' can be taken to be 正人, which literally means ''correct/elegant man'', possibly referring to the fact that he is usually always right.
*Max was the first of [[Ash's friends]] to have a lead role in a Pokémon movie, as all movies before [[Jirachi: Wish Maker]] had either Ash or a character of the day with the lead role.

'''Dawn''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリ''' ''Hikari'') is a ten-year-old girl travelling through [[Sinnoh]] with [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Brock]]. Her goal is to become a great [[Pokémon coordinator|coordinator]] like her mother, [[Johanna]]. Her first [[Pokémon]] is a {{p|Piplup}} that she recieved from [[Professor Rowan]]. She is voiced by 豊口めぐみ ''Megumi Toyoguchi'' in the Japanese and [[Emlyn Morinelli]] in English.

Dawn is notable for her confidence, since she is always looking towards the future rather than dwelling on her mistakes. In the Japanese version, she often says, "{{tt|Daijōbu!|'It's fine!' or 'It'll be alright!'}}"

Like Ash, she is lucky enough to have seen a [[legendary Pokémon]], the projected soul of {{p|Mesprit}} in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]''.

She had a [[bicycle]], but like [[Misty]]'s and [[May (anime)|May]]'s bikes, [[Ash's Pikachu]] destroyed it with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, she has never mentioned this to Ash on-screen. Johanna gave Dawn one of her old [[ribbon]]s from her days as a coordinator as a gift for luck. She also had a large suitcase full of dresses, but her mother made her leave it at home due to its impracticality.

Like May, she has her own theme song, 君のそばで〜ヒカリのテーマ〜 ''[[By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~]]'', the first ending of the Diamond & Pearl anime. The song is sung by グリン ''Grin''.

==Pokémon==
This listing is of Dawn's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode:

===On hand===
* [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]]
* [[Dawn's Buneary|Buneary]]
* [[Dawn's Pachirisu|Pachirisu]]
* [[Dawn's Buizel|Buizel]]

==Trivia==
*Her Japanese name means 光 ''Light''.

*May and Misty were girls who traveled with Ash Ketchum. Both of them have Japanese names including the katakana '''カ''' ''ka'' and dub names starting with ''M'', so some fans believed Dawn would as well have a dub name starting with ''M'', because she had カ in her name. However, this was revealed to be false when her English name was revealed to be Dawn, which appears to reference [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond]] as [[Paul]] references [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Pearl]]. "Dawn" may also be a reference to "Hikari," which means "light"--dawn is essentially the day's first light.

*Just like Ash's Pikachu, Dawn's Piplup wasn´t ready to obey her when they first met. Eventually, the became fast friends.

*Dawn is the only female main character that doesn't have a sibling.

'''Max''' (Japanese: '''マサト''' ''Masato'') is a young boy from the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], and one of the travelling companions of [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]]. He is the only main character thus far who was not a [[Pokémon trainer]] and he did not own any [[Pokémon]] during the entire [[Advanced Generation]] series. He is the younger brother of [[May (anime)|May]], and the son of [[Norman]], the [[Gym#Petalburg Gym|Petalburg]] [[Gym Leader]], and [[Caroline]]. His Japanese voice actor is 山田ふしぎ ''[[Fushigi Yamada]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Amy Birnbaum]] ([[AG003]]-[[AG145]] ) and [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]] ([[AG146]]-present). His Brazilian voice actor is ''[[Thiago Keplemaier]]''.

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. Max also took [[Misty]]'s bit for yanking Brock by the ear whenever Brock sees a pretty woman. Max also frequently shows tension between he and his older sister May, such as telling embarassing stories about her to others or arguing with her about the way she does certain things.

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, 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 [[Harrison (Johto League)|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.

[[Image:AG21.jpg|left|thumb|Max is happy.]]The qustion of Max's starter Pokémon was raised a number of times while he was travelling 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 his doppelganger in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out]]''. At the end of that episode he stated that Maxx is lucky as he aleady knows who the Pokémon he will start his [[Pokémon training|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 [[Ash's Glalie|Ash's Snorunt]]. When the two parted ways at the end of the episode, they promised to meet up again when Max was eligible to be a trainer.

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}}, 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]].

[[Image:AG015.jpg|left|thumb|Max is studying.]]Despite this, Max has been in a couple of [[Pokémon battle]]s. In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule the School]]'', Max spent a day at [[Roxanne]]'s Trainers School where he battled with a {{p|Poliwag}} against a {{p|Magby}}. He used strategy in increasing Poliwag's defense as much as possible with {{m|Defense Curl}} but this backfired when Magby managed to get enough hits in during this time to knock Poliwag out. In the episode ''[[AG046|Candid Camerupt!]]'', Max borrowed [[Ash's Corphish]] for a battle against [[Winstrate Family|Vivi Winstrate]]. He also briefly commanded Ralts to send Team Rocket blasting off in the episode mentioned above.

Max is similar to [[Ritchie]] in his lack of popularity in the fandom. This has been stated on many occasions to be to do his lack of Pokémon, giving him little purpose compared to other main characters. However, certain episodes such as ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' and ''[[AG191|Home is Where the Start Is]]'' have redeemed him in some fans' eyes.

This initially upset Max but Ash cheered him up with the promise of a battle between the two when Max becomes a trainer. He is currently staying at home in Petalburg City and has so far not been seen since Ash began his journey in Sinnoh.

'''Gary Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキドシゲル''' ''Shigeru Ōkido'', Brazilian: Gary Carvalho) is the prime [[rival]] of [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], and grandson of [[Professor Oak]]. He started out as an arrogant, snot-nosed brat -- like his [[Pokémon games|game]] counterpart, [[Blue (game)|Blue]] -- but eventually matured and became a [[Pokémon researcher]] like his grandfather. His Japanese voice actor is 小林優子 ''[[Yūko Kobayashi]]'', his English voice actor is [[Jimmy Zoppi]], and his Brazilian-Portugese voice actors are [[Rodrigo Andreatto]] and [[Marcelo Campos]] (in ''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'').

Gary has an attitude of catch first, ask questions later, as seen in ''[[It's Mr. Mime Time]]''.

In ''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', Gary works on [[Sayda Island]].

His Japanese name is derived from [[wp:Shigeru Miyamoto|Shigeru Miyamoto]], who is sometimes seen as a rival of [[Satoshi Tajiri]].

=Trivia=
Gary is probably one of the few characters to have his English dub voice remained unchanged throughout the series. From [[EP001]] to this day, he has been voiced by [[Jimmy Zoppi]]. However, he is now credited as '''Billy Beach''' under his TAJ Productions work.
