About Professor Oak
Professor Samuel Oak is a wildly talented researcher and former competitive Pokemon Trainer. Considered top in his field of study, Professor Oak serves as a teacher and mentor to new Pokemon Trainers. A never-ending source of useful information, he can be counted on to give sound advice and the sporadic plot device. One of his greatest accomplishments is the development of the Pokedex. He sends his young trainers out into the Kanto Region, equipped with the Pokemon of their choice. He is also the proud owner of a Rotom, a Pidgey and a Dragonite.
While he is an expert in all things relating to Pokemon, Professor Oak’s area of expertise is Pokémon behavioral science. He is not all serious though, as a hobby he writes poetry about Pokemon, he’s even known to some as “the rhyming professor”. In the Japanese version of the series, Professor Oak is named after the orchid. However, in the English version named after the oak tree.
