What statement means max friendship?

This answer applies to older versions. I'll still keep it since many google searches may refer here in the future.

Yes, you can't get any better response, though it does not really mean that you have reached the total maximum (255).

And here is the whole list of possible responses:

  • It doesn't seem to like you at all. It looks mean. => 0-69
  • You should treat it better. It's not used to you. => 70-99
  • It's quite cute. => 100-149
  • It's friendly toward you. It looks sort of happy. => 150-199
  • I get the feeling that it really trusts you. => 200-219
  • It looks really happy! It must love you a lot. => 220-255

Yes, "It's amazingly friendly towards you! It must be so happy spending every day with you!" is the lady's response if the Pokemon you show her exhibits maximum happiness. I tested this with three cases:

  • Talonflame (which I've had since before the 1st badge and is Level 100)
  • Pikachu, which I had evolved from a Pichu (evolution only occurs at maximum happiness)
  • Umbreon (which Eevee evolves into only when reaching maximum happiness and leveling at night).

In all three cases, that was her response.
