He appears as a young boy, '''Sam''' (Japanese: '''ユキナリ''' ''Yukinari'') in the fourth [[Pokémon movie|film]], ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. [[Ash Ketchum]] befriends the young Oak, who, due to traveling from 40 years in the past, is around the same age as him. The revelation that Sam ''is'' Oak, while able to be speculated because Oak's first name was revealed in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', comes only at the end of the movie, when Oak knows that Ash's friend's name was Sam despite Ash never telling him so, and Tracey finding the sketchbook in which young Sam drew Pikachu sleeping with Celebi in Oak's closet. | He appears as a young boy, '''Sam''' (Japanese: '''ユキナリ''' ''Yukinari'') in the fourth [[Pokémon movie|film]], ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

Professor Oak also was one of the two human characters appearing in [[Pokémon Snap]]. He was working on a {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}} for the Pokémon species of [[Pokémon Island]], and hired [[Todd Snap|Todd]] to take pictures for the report. He provided Todd with the [[ZERO-ONE]] and its [[Dash Engine]] upgrade, [[Pokémon food]], [[Pester Ball]]s, and a [[Poké Flute]]. When Todd took a picture of each of the [[Pokémon Signs]], Professor Oak drew a connection between them and the {{pkmn|constellations}} to determine that {{p|Mew}} must be on [[Rainbow Cloud]]. | Professor Oak also was one of the two human characters appearing in [[Pokémon Snap]].

As he is the leading professor of the [[Kanto]] region, Professor Oak appears in many different [[Pokémon manga]] series. | |||
===In the The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga=== | |||
Professor Oak makes a few appearances in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. He is a role model to {{Ash}} and is [[Bill]]'s mentor. Unlike in the anime, he does not give Ash his {{AP|Pikachu}}, in fact, he does not meet Ash until after he has already begun his Pokémon journey. | |||
Ash meets Professor Oak for the first time in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]''. They meet at [[Mt. Moon]] after Ash has been wandering lost in the mountains for weeks, searching for a rare {{p|Clefairy}}. Oak, who has been living among the Clefairy, rescues Ash and introduces him to Bill and a tribe of wild Clefairy. The three attend the tribe's [[evolution]] ceremony, after which Oak gives Ash the latest upgrade to the Pokédex for free, months before it will be available to the public. | |||
Ash later encounters Oak again in ''[[ET10|Clefairy in Space]]'', where he is investigating strange activity, which turned out to be caused by another group of Clefairy. | |||
Ash encounters Oak one last time at the Pokémon Research Center in ''[[ET14|The Orange Islands]]'', shortly before he travels to the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Here, the Professor and Bill are researching a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Slowpoke}} that was found in the [[Pokémon storage system]]. | |||

Although Professor Oak's first mention was in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' in a conversation between {{adv|Red}} and some Pallet Town children, he is described as being an expert on all things Pokémon, however he is also "just a mean old nut". His debut was in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'', where Red had wandered into [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his lab]] and was immediately accused of being a thief. In his haste, Red accidentally released all the Pokémon in the lab, including Bulbasaur, causing the two to track them down and re-capture them. After being saved by Red from a {{p|Machoke}} attack in [[Viridian City]], Oak gave Red the Bulbasaur and a Pokédex. The professor also makes appearances in ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'', talking about [[Team Rocket]]'s experiments.He was then kidnapped by Team Rocket to force him to help them with their experiments, although he refused and they resorted to trying to use {{adv|Blue}} to convince him, who later saves him. Oak later appears in Volume 3 to battle {{adv|Green}} under the alias "Doctor O" and reveals Green's phobia of Flying-type Pokémon and her theft of Squirtle. However, he shows compassion by giving her the last Pokédex and forfeiting his position in the [[Pokémon League]]. He then forfeits after telling her that he has already won a championship. | Although Professor Oak's first mention was in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' in a conversation between {{adv|Red}} and some Pallet Town children, he is described as being an expert on all things Pokémon, however he is also "just a mean old nut".

In the {{chap|Yellow}}, he was talking with Misty about Red's mysterious disappearance when [[Pika]] wanders into the lab seriously injured. Yellow then barges into his lab uninvited. He then makes her battle him with his Spearow and is impressed how she defeats him without harming either Pokémon, giving Yellow his trust and as such he allows Yellow to take Pika and Red's Pokédex. Oak then sends letters to Blue instead of more advanced communication so nobody can track them. This was decided upon after Blue's encounter with [[Agatha]] of the Elite Four when she wanted to kill him after learning that he was Oak's grandson, although Blue was still unsure of how the two knew each other. | In the {{chap|Yellow}}, he was talking with Misty about Red's mysterious disappearance when [[Pika]] wanders into the lab seriously injured.

In the | In the {{chap|Gold, Silver and Crystal}}, Oak is now known as the leading authority on Pokémon in both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] and has developed the three new Pokédexes. The first was stolen by {{adv|Silver}}, the second and third he gave to {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}}. During the battle with the [[Masked Man]], he gave out the titles to the six Pokédex holders and {{adv|Yellow}}. At the end, he employed Crystal as his assistant and thanks to her, the Pokédex had been filled and he owned all non-legendary Pokémon for his research. | ||
In the FRLG saga, Oak was captured by the [[The Three Beasts]] to lure Red, {{adv|Blue}} and Green to the Sevii Islands; but not before he recalled their three Pokédexes. After he was freed at {{ga|Trainer Tower}}, Oak revealed the Pokédexes that had the National Pokédex capability, though two of the old models were destroyed in the ensuing battle in the [[Trainer Tower]], and the unscathed one given to Yellow. | In the FRLG saga, Oak was captured by the [[The Three Beasts]] to lure Red, {{adv|Blue}} and Green to the Sevii Islands; but not before he recalled their three Pokédexes.

His relationship with Agatha was also revealed when the two were younger. Oak defeated Agatha in the finals for the first Pokémon League Championship and Agatha met him after the battle and asked why he quit their "research group". He explained that he wanted to create the Pokédex, which she thought was a stupid idea that would never be complete (to which Oak replies that if it isn't complete in his generation, his children and grandchildren would take over for him), and a battle ensued. Oak barely won after a battle that lasted several hours, with Agatha swearing a personal vendetta over him and anyone who associates with him. | His relationship with Agatha was also revealed when the two were younger.
