Professor Oak: is a
Pokémon Professor who lives and works at his
research lab in
Pallet Town of the
Kanto region. According to
Professor Elm, Oak concentrates on Pokémon and human relationships as a profession.
Professor Oak works in
his Laboratory in
Pallet Town with his aides. He gave
Red and
Blue their Starter Pokémon in
Pokémon Red, Blue,
Green,
Yellow,
FireRed and LeafGreen. He is an idol to many Trainers and researchers, including
Professor Elm, and always plays an important supporting role in the many games that he appears in.
He was a childhood friend of
Agatha. They remained good friends and top-class Pokémon Trainers until Oak stopped battling and became interested in Pokémon research. Agatha said that he became soft and started to regard him as a fool. However, Oak still affiliates with the
Pokémon League as an adviser.
Professor Oak was always well known in
Kanto but in
Generation II he became more of a celebrity, a "star Pokémon Researcher". He became famous in
Johto because of his Radio Show with
DJ Mary. He was going to turn down the show at first but Mary's energy and persistence wore him down.
Ethan/
Kris first met him visiting the home of
Mr. Pokémon, another of Oak's childhood friends. Later he grants the young Trainer access to
Mt. Silver, a place which only the finest Pokémon Trainers may enter, after the player has earned all the Badges in Johto and later Kanto.
Professor Oak has many old friends. One of them is
Kurt, a
Poké Ball smith from
Azalea Town and another is
Professor Elmwho used to be Oak's assistant.
