The '''old man''' (Japanese: '''おじいさん''' ''old man'') is a small, grumpy old man that lives in [[Viridian City]], [[Kanto]]. At first, he is very grumpy and will not let the {{player}} pass through to {{rt|2|Kanto}}, until he has had his coffee for the day. This is just a barrier in the game, so the player will not wander past Viridian City until the player goes to the Viridian [[Poké Mart]] and delivers {{ | The '''old man''' (Japanese: '''おじいさん''' ''old man'') is a small, grumpy old man that lives in [[Viridian City]], [[Kanto]].

After that, he starts to lighten up and help the player by teaching them how to catch a Pokémon using a [[Poké Ball]]. This is a guide for novice players in {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. In Red, Blue, FireRed and LeafGreen, he catches a {{p|Weedle}}. In Yellow, he fails to catch a {{p|Rattata}}, then goes to the Poké Mart to get more [[Poké Ball]]s; if the player talks to him again, he will successfully catch Rattata.

His grandson, [[Primo]], is the host of the show. | ||
He appears again in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} saying that he had his cup of coffee, which is revealed to be a double shot of espresso, and also tells the player he was once an expert at catching Pokémon. This is a reference to the events that happened [[Generation I|three years]] before [[Generation II]]. Because Kanto is not accessed until later in those games, the old man will not demonstrate how to catch Pokémon; this role is taken by {{rt|29|Johto}}'s [[Dude]] in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Lyra}} in HeartGold and SoulSilver. | He appears again in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} saying that he had his cup of coffee, which is revealed to be a double shot of espresso, and also tells the player he was once an expert at catching Pokémon.
