===Characteristics=== | |||
According to Professor Elm, "Mr. Pokémon" is merely a nickname; the character's true name is unknown. As a researcher, Mr. Pokémon takes pride in the discoveries he makes, although Elm suggests that these are not as exciting as he would make out. | |||
The contents of his house, located at the northern end of {{rt|30|Johto}}, suggests that he travels a great deal since he has a large collection of foreign [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazines]] and coins. After the [[Embedded Tower]] event, Professor Oak cites Mr. Pokémon's research on {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, indicating he may have traveled to [[Hoenn]] in his past. | |||

At the beginning of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Mr. Pokémon contacts Professor Elm about a [[Pokémon Egg]] he has found. In Generation II, this Egg is notably one of the first Eggs to be found, but in Generation IV (to tie in with {{pkmn|breeding}} in the {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|games set before HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}) it is just "another Pokémon Egg". Elm sends {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} to collect the Egg on his behalf, and later entrusts the player with the Egg. It eventually hatches into {{p|Togepi}} and is revealed to have been given to Mr. Pokémon by the [[Kimono Girl]]s. | At the beginning of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Mr. Pokémon contacts Professor Elm about a [[Pokémon Egg]] he has found.
