===In Generation II===
===Generation II===
Professor Oak was always well known in [[Kanto]] but in [[Generation II]] he became more of a celebrity, a "star Pokémon Researcher". He became famous in [[Johto]] because of his Radio Show with [[DJ Mary]]. He was going to turn down the show at first but Mary's energy and persistence wore him down. {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}} first met him visiting the home of [[Mr. Pokémon]], another of Oak's childhood friends. Later he grants the young Trainer access to [[Mt. Silver]], a place which only the finest Pokémon Trainers may enter, after the player has earned all the Badges in Johto and later Kanto.

====Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum====
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 [[Upgrade|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 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.
