Professor Samuel Oak (Japanese: オーキド・ユキナリ博士 Dr. Yukinari Okido) is a Pokémon Professor who lives and works at his research lab in Pallet Town of the Kanto region. According to Professor Elm, Oak concentrates on Pokémon and human relationships as a profession.

In the games

In Generation I

 
The unused Trainer class for Professor Oak

Professor Oak works in his Laboratory in Pallet Town with his aides. He gave Red and Blue their starter Pokémon in Pokémon Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, FireRed and LeafGreen. He is an idol to many Trainers and researchers, including Professor Elm, and always plays an important supporting role in the many games that he appears in.

He was a childhood friend of Agatha. They remained good friends and top-class Pokémon Trainers until Oak stopped battling and became interested in Pokémon research. Agatha said that he became soft and started to regard him as a fool. However, Oak still affiliates with the Pokémon League as an adviser. In Pokemon Masters, during her Sync Pair Story "A Day with Agatha", Agatha explains how she and Oak met. Oak was always friendly and open when he was young and would talk to Agatha and try to help her. Though he was only trying to be nice, it still annoyed Agatha because she wanted to be left alone. Agatha would battle Oak to try and get him to go away, but he was always better than her, and so she would battle him again and again. Eventually, the time they spent together began to mean a lot to Agatha. As a result, when Oak got the idea to invent the Pokédex and subsequently stopped battling, Agatha felt betrayed.

In his own Pokemon Masters Sync Pair Story, "A Day With Professor Oak", Professor Oak reveals that his trusted Pokémon partner is a Nidorino.

Pokémon

Red, Green, and Blue

Professor Oak confirms having been a successful Trainer in his youth; however, he states that he only possesses the following Pokémon. Red is allowed to choose one in order to begin his journey. His grandson, Blue, the player's rival, then picks the Pokémon whose type has an advantage against their own.

Unused teams

In the Generation I games, there is unused Trainer data for Prof. Oak. This implies that the player was supposed to battle him at some point in the game.

In the data, Oak has a level 66 Tauros, level 67 Exeggutor, level 68 Arcanine, level 70 Gyarados, and one of the Kanto starters at level 69. This places his strength a handful of levels above the player's rival and the Pokémon League Champion. In addition, four of his Pokémon are identical to the ones used by the Champion, only at higher levels, implying he was originally meant to be Champion, or at least another high-ranking Trainer. This is supported by an email on the PC in Oak's lab, in which the Pokémon League issues a challenge to all Trainers and specifically requests Oak to come visit them.

Oak can be battled by performing the Ditto glitch with a Special stat of 226 or by performing the old man glitch with MN as the character in the 3rd, 5th or 7th slot of the player's name. These teams cannot be battled when using the old man glitch; they can only be battled via the Ditto glitch if the wild Ditto's Attack is lowered by 4, 5, or 6 stages (each will yield a different one of the three teams).







In 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. Ethan/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.

Professor Oak has many old friends. One of them is Kurt, a Poké Ball smith from Azalea Town and another is Professor Elm who used to be Oak's assistant. In fact, there is a picture on Kurt's wall saying "...a young Prof Oak?" and an email addressed to him from Professor Elm can be found in his lab:

"...
Prof. Oak, how is your research
coming along? I'm still plugging
away. I heard rumors
that <player> is
getting quite a reputation.
I'm delighted to hear that.
Elm in New Bark Town 8-)"

Professor Oak has gained many fans and admirers. One of them is Schoolboy Chad, who frequently calls the player to share trivia about Oak.

In Generation III

Professor Oak returns in FireRed and LeafGreen to reprise his role from the Generation I games. He also grants the player the National Pokédex after they have caught 60 different species of Pokémon and defeated the Elite Four.

When Todd takes a picture of each of the Pokémon signs, Professor Oak is able to drawn a connection between them and the constellations to determine that Mew must be on Rainbow Cloud.

Puzzle series

In Pokémon Puzzle Challenge, Professor Oak appears at the main menu and some other screens at the beginning of the game, explaining the available options to the player. He also talks to the player at various points in the "Puzzle" section, which consists of various rounds with puzzles.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Professor Oak appears as a random trophy wearing his regular clothing from the anime.

Trophy information

The leading expert on the study of Pokémon. It seems there are always new and mysterious species of Pokémon being brought to light, and Professor Oak is at the heart of it all with his insightful research. The Pokédex is one of his inventions: new Trainers receive one, and a Pokémon to boot, when they start out.

Trivia

  • Professor Oak has appeared in the most generations of any Pokémon Professor, appearing in Generation I and their Generation III and VII remakes as the regional professor and making cameo appearances in Generations II and IV.
  • If the player speaks to Professor Oak in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and has their Pokédex evaluated with at least 484 of the 493 Pokémon caught, he will say "Meeting you is something l will cherish all my life long.", using a lowercase L instead of an uppercase I.
  • During his Sync Pair Story in Pokemon Masters, Professor Oak's Nidorino briefly battles Agatha's Gengar, referencing the opening sequence of Pokémon Red and Blue.
