In the [[Generation I]] games there is [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused]] {{pkmn|Trainer}} data for Prof. Oak. This implies that the player was supposed to battle him at some point in the game.
In the [[Generation I]] games there is [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused]] {{pkmn|Trainer}} data for Prof. Oak. This implies that the player was supposed to battle him at some point in the game.


In the data, Oak has Level 66 {{p|Tauros}}, Level 67 {{p|Exeggutor}}, Level 68 {{p|Arcanine}}, Level 70 {{p|Gyarados}} and one of the Kanto {{pkmn2|starter}}s at Level 69. This places his strength on-par with the player's rival and the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. As well, four of his Pokémon are identical to the ones used by the Champion, only higher level, implying he was originally meant to be Champion, or at least another high-ranking Trainer. This is supported by an email on the PC in Oak's lab, in which the Pokémon League issues a challenge to all Trainers and specifically requests Oak to come visit them.

The only known ways to battle Oak are by performing the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 226 or by performing the [[old man glitch]] with {{MN}} as the character in the 3rd, 5th or 7th slot of the player's name. These teams cannot be battled when using the old man glitch; they can only be battled via the Ditto glitch if the wild Ditto's {{stat|Attack}} is lowered by 4, 5, or 6 stages (each will yield a different one of the three teams).
