Oak is a leading Pokémon researcher who introduces the Kanto starter choice and asks the player and his grandson to help document Pokémon.

  • Story: His laboratory anchors the beginning and later Pokédex milestones. Some rewards depend on actual catches rather than merely seeing species in battle.
  • In the game: Visit when pursuing Pokédex upgrades and check the stated requirement. Oak is not a routine source of battle healing outside the services explicitly offered, and research completion is separate from becoming Champion.
