The '''old man''' is a small, grumpy old man that lives in [[Viridian City]], [[Kanto]]. At first, he is very grumpy and will not let the {{player}} pass through to {{rt|2}}, until he has had his coffee for the day. This is just a barrier in the game, so players will not wander past Viridian City until the player goes to the Viridian [[Poké Mart]] and delivers a [[List of key items in Generation III#Oak's Parcel|parcel]] to [[Professor Oak]]. | The '''old man''' is a small, grumpy old man that lives in [[Viridian City]], [[Kanto]].

His grandson is the [[Poké Dude]] in [[Generation II]]. | ||
He appears again in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} saying that he had his cup of coffee and also tells the player he was once an expert at catching Pokémon. This is a reference to the events that happened [[Generation I|three years]] before [[Generation II]]. Because Kanto is not accessed until later in those games, the old man will not demonstrate how to catch Pokémon; this role is taken by [[Route 29]]'s [[dude]] in Gold, Silver, and Crystal and {{ga|Gold|Hibiki}}/{{ga|Kotone}} in HeartGold and SoulSilver. | He appears again in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} saying that he had his cup of coffee and also tells the player he was once an expert at catching Pokémon.
