Professor Oak: Difference between revisions

Professor Oak is also a good friend of [[Professor Rowan]]. He visits [[Sinnoh]] often, has a home in [[Eterna City]], introduces Trainers to [[Pal Park]], and gives them the [[National Pokédex]], as well as the [[Up-Grade]], [[Poké Radar]] and the function {{DL|Pokétch|Trainer Counter}} of the [[Pokétch]]. [[Oak's Letter|A letter]] that he sends to the player in a special event allows the player to find {{p|Shaymin}}. An aide in Rowan's laboratory mentions that Oak is Rowan's junior in terms of seniority. In Platinum, after providing the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Up-Grade}}, Professor Oak will talk about the [[legendary birds]] and say that they have been sighted in [[Sinnoh]]. From this point {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} will be visible roaming on the map.

Professor Oak returns in the Johto remakes to fulfill a similar role as he did in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, albeit expanded. For obtaining all sixteen [[Badge]]s and defeating {{ga|Red}}, he will give the player one of either {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}. He also gives the player {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} to assist them in navigation through [[Mt. Silver]]. He will also gives the player the National Pokédex before boarding the [[S.S. Aqua]]. Finally, if both {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} from HeartGold and SoulSilver are traded into the same game, he will give the player a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Jade Orb}} so that {{p|Rayquaza}} may be caught at the [[Embedded Tower]].

|desc=Professor Oak kept {{p|Bulbasaur}} after {{Zensho|Satoshi}} and {{Zensho|Shigeru}} got their Starter Pokémon as he would have been too lonely without it. It was revealed to have evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}} and then {{p|Venusaur}} sometime when Satoshi went to [[Indigo Plateau]]. Venusaur was then seen with Professor Oak around the end of the chapter when he was explaining to Satoshi and Shigeru about a [[Cerulean Cave|rare cave]] that contained the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Mewtwo}}.
