February 2018, Danny Filippidis, a Canadian man, was on a ski trip with his friends in New York. It was around two in the afternoon and the friends had been skiing for hours. They started getting ready to go into the lodge when Danny said he wanted to go on one more run down the mountain before their lunch break. It was around 4pm and Danny was out of sight and at this point, has been since that last run down the mountain. He was failing to return any texts or calls, leaving the friends concerned. After a search for him and no good news, they turned to the employees at the lodge for help, a team of 130 people scoured the mountain, still, no good news.

Six days later, Filippidis' wife received a phone call from a number she didn't recognize, it sounded 'far away' and 'staticy'. Regardless, she picked up and it was Danny's voice, he was alive. He was incoherent and confused, he then hung up the phone. She called him back and advise him to call 911 for help, so that's what he did. He didn't have a clue of his whereabouts so he just described his surroundings. When the paramedics found him, he was still in al of his ski gear and was in need of medical attention, however, he was holding a brand new iPhone and he had a fresh haircut.

He was found in Sacramento, California, at the airport terminal car rental depot, 3000 miles from his place of disappearance. He had no recollection of how he got there or even what day it was. He became very overwhelmed and emotional when he learnt where he was and how long people had been looking for him...

I’ve been interested in Max’s cameos after the Pokémon Advanced Generation series, where he originated from, lately. I thought that Max was originally intended to stay forgotten, since he’s gotten hate from the beginning, but there’s actually more appearances of him than I thought.

His first reappearance was a brief flashback in the Diamond & Pearl episode A Full Course Tag Battle, since May came back for a few episodes.

And her other episodes in the DP series gave Max actual small cameos, watching May on TV in Staging a Heroes’ Welcome and Strategy with a Smile. Those small appearances were great.

After that, he made a reappearance in one of the Japanese DP openings, High Touch, which was neat.

Then he appeared in a flashback in To Thine Own Pokémon Be True, which was focused on Aipom because Dawn’s Ambipom was departing in that episode.

And his last appearance in the Diamond and Pearl series was in the very beginning of a Japanese-exclusive special episode that took place after the series. He was in one of the pictures of Brock’s album, alongside other characters like Ash, Misty, May, and Dawn.

Then he made 2 appearances in Black and White, the first being in the final Japanese ending, which also included every other main character/companion as of 2013 together.

And the second in the final episode of BW, again, alongside the other companions.

And lastly, he appeared alongside the rest of the companions during the end credits of Pokémon: I Choose You back in 2017 (couldn’t add it because I hit the image limit).

This was the final reappearance of one of my favourite characters, being gone from any screen for nearly 2 and a half years, and he has so much potential for an actual comeback, much like what Misty, Brock, May, and Dawn got over the years. He has a Ralts by his side once he becomes a trainer, his newer voice actress retired, leaving Amy Birnbaum open to voice him again, there was even another younger kid character by the name of Bonnie, and it would be so nice to see her meet Max, there are so many opportunities for a perfect return of the know-it-all brother of Coordinator May... but instead, they wanna focus on the bromance of Ash and... Go (whatever the hell his name is) for an entire series for some reason.
