===Games===
====Generation I games and remakes====
In , , and later remakes, Professor Oak lives in Pallet Town. He is absent from his lab until you try to leave town, when he runs up to you and makes you come with him. He then lets you choose a First partner Pokémon. If you go to the mart, the store clerk will give you Oak's Parcel. The Parcel contains a prototype Poké Ball, bring it back to Oak and he will give a Pokédex to you along with five Poké Balls. He sends you on your journey and all throughout he helps you by sending his aides out to give you items if you capture the right number of Pokémon.
In Pokémon Yellow Special Pikachu Edition, when the player walks into Tall Grass outside of Pallet Town for the first time, they will encounter a Pikachu, which Oak captures and gives to you after your rival takes the Eevee that was intended for the player.
In , Oak provides tutorial on Pokémon Battles when the player's rival challenges them for the first time, inside of the lab.
====Diamond, Pearl and Platinum====
In , after the player discovers every Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex, Oak arrives to hand them the National Pokédex. He resides in the most southerly house in Eterna City.
====HeartGold and SoulSilver====

In , Oak similarly hands out the National Pokédex like in the Sinnoh games, although the criteria is different, since the player has to win against the Elite Four instead. After the player wins against every Johto and Kanto Gym Leader, Oak gives the HM08 (Rock Climb).

==Trivia==
*In every Generation I game, Professor Oak was planned to be a character whom the player would battle after winning against the champion. Oak would have a Tauros, Exeggutor, Gyarados, Arcanine and the starter that opposes your First partner Pokémon at its final form. It was cut from the game and it can only be accessed through a cheating device.
