Speculation really shouldn't be in the article at all, but at the very least it should be relegated to the trivia no matter how strong the suggestive evidence is.

'''Mr. Fuji''' (Japanese: '''フジろうじん''' ''Elder Fuji'') is a kind old man who lives in [[Lavender Town]].
'''Mr. Fuji''' (Japanese: '''フジろうじん''' ''Elder Fuji'') is a kind old man who lives in [[Lavender Town]].
He is theorized to be Dr. Fuji, who founded the [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] in the games, as the {{player}} is surprised to see the name when visiting it and interacting with his portrait there, indicating that they recognize him. This speculation also expands to the point of considering that game Dr. Fuji, being one and the same as Mr. Fuji, served as the inspiration for [[Dr. Fuji]] from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', since they share their names and history in studying {{p|Mew}}.

In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Mr. Fuji does not have a prominent role. He is found in the [[House of Memories]] (Soul House in English Generation II) paying respects to the deceased Pokémon there. In the house, there are hidden chambers that only Mr. Fuji has access to.

He may be the same person as '''Dr. Fuji''' (Japanese: '''フジはかせ''' ''Dr. Fuji''), who founded the island's [[Pokémon Lab]]. Interacting with the portrait of Dr. Fuji at Pokémon Lab yields the following text from the games:

==Trivia==
* Mr. Fuji may be the same character as '''Dr. Fuji''' (Japanese: '''フジはかせ''' ''Dr. Fuji''), who founded [[Cinnabar Island]]'s [[Pokémon Lab]]. In addition to the characters having the same surname, the Fame Checker reports that Mr. Fuji is not from Lavender Town and is friends with [[Blaine]], suggesting a connection between Mr. Fuji and Cinnabar Island. The anime character [[Dr. Fuji]] may have been inspired by the Dr. Fuji in the games.
