Professor Oak's Laboratory appears in {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

The lab is a small building near the player's house that has been slightly modified in every game. In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} the sign says "''Here is the Institute of Dr. Okido.''" in Japanese, and "''Oak Pokémon Research Lab''" in the English language versions.

In {{game|Yellow}} the lab is the same as Red and Blue, except there is only one Poké Ball on the table, and next to the table stands a trash can. {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} have the lab almost unchanged except recoloring, only adding two windows, removing a table and adding another shelf to bookshelves. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, other than the significant graphical enhancements, the laboratory also has two plants in the entrance, a mysterious machine, books on the floor, two regular machines in the corner, and a window.

===Appearance===
The lab is a small building near the player's house that has been slightly modified in every game.
 
In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, the sign says "''Oak Pokémon Research Lab''" ("''Here is the Institute of Dr. Okido.''" in Japanese). Inside are three of Professor Oak's aides, two men and one woman, a couple of shelves full of books, a table with three {{i|Poké Ball}}s, a computer, two blank [[Pokédex]]es, and two tips for the player.
 
In {{game|Yellow}}, the lab is the same as Red and Blue, except there is only one Poké Ball on the table, and next to the table stands a trash can.
 
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the lab is almost unchanged except recoloring, only adding two windows, removing a table and adding another shelf to bookshelves.
 
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, other than the significant graphical enhancements, the laboratory also has two plants in the entrance, a mysterious machine, books on the floor, two regular machines in the corner, and a window.
 
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the building is modified to look 3D, but still has the overall design from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
 
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the laboratory also mostly retains its overall design from [[Generation III]]. However, in these games, the content of one of the Poké Balls on the table is never revealed.

Professor Oak's Laboratory first appeared in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} got their first Pokémon and Pokédexes from Professor Oak. In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', Red returned to the lab after having {{pkmn2|caught}} all 149 known Pokémon. Later, after Red had successfully caught {{p|Mewtwo}} in [[Cerulean Cave]], Professor Oak held a minor celebration at the laboratory to congratulate Red and Blue on completing of the Pokédex, although Red soon realized that {{p|Mew}} still remained uncaught.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*If the player's Pokémon takes damage in his/her first battle against their rival in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, their Pokémon will be healed after the battle.
* In [[Generation I]] games, there is a moment when it is possible to stop the game. This happens if the player holds the A button after choosing the their starter, which will stop {{ga|Blue}} from choosing his own starter until the player releases the button. This happens in all Generation I games, but is easier to perform in {{v2|Yellow}}. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dYWCKeTDXM ""Freeze" the game in Oak's Lab", discovered and uploaded by LanceAndMissingNo.]</ref>
*Professor Oak's lab's iconic theme is not played in Generation IV, with the background music instead being Pallet Town's theme. The only way to hear the lab theme is to listen to the Pokégear radio.
* If the player's Pokémon takes damage in his/her first battle against their rival in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, their Pokémon will be healed after the battle.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, there is a trash can is on the right side of the table containing the starter Pokémon, unlike in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. This effectively blocks the player from walking to the other side of the table to collect Eevee where the rival can't push them.
