Professor Oak was always well-known in [[Kanto]] but in [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} he became more of a celebrity, a "star Pokémon Researcher". He started to be 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|Gold}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Kotone}} 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 finest Pokémon Trainers may enter, after the player has earned all the badges in Johto and later Kanto. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, he will give the player one of either {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}} for obtaining all sixteen [[badge]]s. He also gives the player {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} to assist the them in navigation through [[Mt. Silver]]. In [[Generation IV]], he will also give the player the National Pokédex before boarding the [[S.S. Aqua]]. Finally, if both {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} from HeartGold and SoulSilver are traded into the same game, he will give the player a [[List_of_key_items_in_Generation_IV#Green_Orb|Green Orb]] so that {{p|Rayquaza}} may be caught at the [[Hidden Tower]].
