The lab has many different environments for the correct development of all kinds of Pokémon. There are areas of grass, sand, rocks and lakes to promote good interaction between the different [[type]]s of creatures. The laboratory has the technology to keep Pokémon healthy, and to make the largest scientific investigations in the country.

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. Inside are three of Professor Oak's aides, two men and one woman, a couple of shelves full of books, a table with three [[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. {{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. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the building is modified to look 3D, but still has the overall design from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

====Superstructure====

The Oak Corral is a natural environment for Pokémon development. It is divided into regions according to type; there are areas that are perfect for {{t|Rock}} Pokémon, desert areas for {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Fire}} types, grassy regions, and several lakes. Sometimes the Pokémon don't get along; for this reason, some Pokémon, such as [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], act as mediators between quarreling Pokémon.

The lab also appeared briefly in the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga. In his search to be the best Trainer, {{adv|Red}} went to see {{adv|Professor Oak}} in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', but the laboratory, a one-floor building with a sign, was deserted and the door was open; Red entered anyway. The first view of the inside of the lab was seen in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'', and was shown to have machines, tables, bookshelves, a glass container full of water and a [[Poké Ball]] storage area.
