OHH wowww.
Well I have something TOTALLY out there.
A prediction for Max's upcoming Pokemon team.
Definitely say a Ralts; more specifically the one he befriended in one episode.
Next, a Surskit; I mean REALLY, his like, clone kid or whatever had one.
Third, I would say a Shroomish because he also befriended one of those.
After that, I can see Max with a Chatot; seems a lot like him in a lot of ways.
Second-to-last, Max could be seen with a Snorunt, much like Ash in that way.
Finally, I see Max with a Porygon for no particular reason whatsoever, haha.
Ralts (20 Episodes) -> Kirlia (65 Episodes) -> Gallade
Surskit (17 Episodes) -> Masquerain
Shroomish (72 Episodes) -> Breloom
Chatot (Does not evolve)
Snorunt (89 Episodes) -> Frosslass
Porygon (30 Episodes) -> Porygon2 (27 Episodes) -> Porygon-Z
Just how I'd see it!
