:*''Sakugo'' is derived from the Japanese characters 錯誤 (''sakugo'') to mean 'mistake'. The name itself was coined prior to the knowledge Barry would exist in the anime, and prior to Kenny's dubbed premier, likely assuming that, despite there being no evidence of Barry's existence, if Barry did exist, they might know each other by local proximity. The exact relation to the name itself is unknown. | :*''Sakugo'' is derived from the Japanese characters 錯誤 (''sakugo'') to mean 'mistake'.

{{shipping|color=light|[[Harley]]|[[Max]]|jap=|rom= |'''Information''' | |||
This pairing is primarily considered taboo due to the visible age difference between the characters. Regardless, it has its fans, age difference a matter of issue or not. What it lacks in romantic hints, however, it does have events which fans use to turn-about their relationship. | |||

:''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'' | |||
:*Harley tricks Max into telling him something he can use against {{an|May}} in the upcoming {{pkmn|Contest}} by adopting a kind facade and treating him to ice cream. While not a hint, his willing to be generous with Max in attempt to get something from him is notable, as it did not automatically mean Harley would get the information he wanted. Fans tend to build off this as a platform to a future relationship, since his aim was to hurt May and not necessarily Max, but since Harley has also been 'kind' to May earlier in the episode, 'being nice' is not an inherent trait Harley only shows Max. | |||
:*Harley's plan does bear fruit, but only when Harley claims to be afraid of Pokémon, prompting Max to tell Harley the story of May and the {{p|Tentacool}}. The fact that Max tries to console Harley, a virtual stranger, after believing him suggests a casual acceptance of Harley, though argument stands that Harley's tactic of ice cream bribery worked and it lowered Max's guard to be wary, because children are more honest. | |||
:Throughout the remaining course of the Advanced Generation, Max continues to be weary of Harley's actions, even when everyone else, May included, chooses to trust the man. While his personal guilt over having May almost lose the [[Izabe Island]] Contest is a factor in Max's continual distrust, it can be taken as slightly more personal, as if he felt overly used and humiliated by his decision to open up to a man who actually had no intention of befriending him. When Harley is around, Max's attention is often on the man, and he later states that he'll never forgive Harley for what he did to his sister even when Brock and Ash seem convinced Harley has changed for the better. | |||
:Harley, on the other hand, is quite nonchalant about the fact he used Max, and other times, seems amused to the point where he's comfortable playfully teasing him. On two separate occasions, when Max questions Harley's motives, the man roughly slaps him on the back, as if to let out his frustration that Max has caught onto his antics and is able to read him better than May and her friends. | |||

:*''Sundae'' is derived from the ice cream sundae Harley treated Max to. | |||
