+ | Prof. Oak is known as the [[Pokémon]] Professor, namely because he has studied Pokémon most of his life. Back in the day, he was an incredibly skilled trainer, as suggested by his contemporary, [[Agatha]]. She goes on to describe Oak as tough and handsome to boot. Then his focus shifted, and his dream became making a complete guide on all the Pokémon in the world. This became the [[Pokédex]], a handheld encyclopedia used by researchers to record information on Pokémon they encounter and capture. Oak taught many other people for a while, including [[Professor Elm]]. However he was becoming elderly and as such, unable to realize his dream. | ||
− | + | It was then that he bit his lip and invited his grandson [[Blue Oak]], and his neighbor, [[Red]], to his lab. He gave each one one of his remaining three Pokémon. Then he left them with a single task: to fulfill his dream. His grandson Blue was eager to try; however, his heart was in the wrong place. While Oak wanted him to complete his Pokédex, Blue didn't treat his Pokémon as friends, and was therefore surpassed by Red. | |
− | Professor Oak | + | Professor Oak congratulated Red on his victory, and escorted him to the final room of the [[Indigo Plateau]], and recorded Red's team into the database of champions. (It should be noted that since only current and former Champions are allowed into the final room of the [[Elite Four]], so it can be assumed that Oak was once a Champion himself.) |
− | + | He then struck a deal with the [[Goldenrod City]] Radio station, giving him a radio show, co-hosted by [[Mary (Pokemon)|Mary]]. The show is actually prerecorded, so Oak will often go back to his laboratory to listen to it. | |
− | + | Oak makes an appearance in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], giving the player his or her [[National Pokédex]]. | |

− | In the | + | In [[Pokémon Snap]], Oak was given special permission to research the native species of [[Pokémon Island]]. To complete his “PKMN Report” he needed photographs of the Pokémon in their native habitat. He created the [[Zero-One]] to deal with it's adverse conditions, but he was still not getting any younger. He considered asking one of the skilled trainers he had encountered to take the photos, but worried that they might be tempted to catch the Pokémon. He, instead, enlisted the help of a wildlife photographer, [[Todd]], to assist him. |
− | + | In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], Professor Oak had developed a new portable computer called the PokéHelper which allowed people to communicate with Pokémon. He distributed a prototype version to the game's main character to test it on his Pikachu. Oak occasionally communicated with the player throughout the game to dispense advice. | |
− | + | Professor Oak, as he appeared in the anime, appeared in [[Pokémon Puzzle League]]. He invited [[Ash Ketchum]] to compete at the Puzzle Village. Ash could visit Professor Oak's Lab there in order to learn the rules of the game. | |
