He has confidence in his grandson, [[Gary Oak]], but more often joins [[Delia Ketchum|Ash's mother]] and friends in cheering on Ash in his competitions. |

| − | In the novelizations written by Takeshi Shudō, Professor Oak comes from a prestigious family. He has two brothers, one is the mayor of Pallet Town and the other is the Post Master, and his grandfather was the first Trainer from Pallet Town to receive widespread recognition. According to [[Professor Elm]], Professor Oak's studies and research mostly focus on how humans and Pokémon interact with each other. |

| − | He appears as a young boy, Sam (Japanese: ユキナリ Yukinari) in the fourth film, [[MS004: Pokémon_4Ever - Celebi: Voice of the Forest|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]. [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] befriends the young Oak, who, due to traveling from 40 years in the past, is around the same age as him. The revelation that Sam is Oak, while able to be speculated because Oak's first name was revealed in the second movie, [[MS002: Pokémon The Movie 2000 - The Power of One|The Power of One]], comes only at the end of the movie, when Oak knows that Ash's friend's name was Sam despite Ash never telling him so, and Tracey finding the sketchbook in which young Sam drew Pikachu sleeping with [[Celebi]] in Oak's closet. |

| − | Oak lives up the road from Ash's mother and the two often appear together as they are very good friends. He currently lives with [[Tracey Sketchit]], who became his loyal assistant in ''[[OI035: The Rivalry Revival|The Rivalry Revival]]''. Tracey and Prof. Oak are very passionate about studying Pokémon and are both artists. |

| − | [[File:Sammy Oak.png|left|thumb|250px|the Younger self]] |
||
| − | In the movie, Sam saw many Generation II Pokémon, notably the [[legendary Pokémon ]][[Celebi]] and [[Suicune]], though his [[Pokédex]] only catalogs the [[Generation I]] Pokémon, claiming that they are all the Pokémon that the world knows, in the Kanto arc. This discrepancy is likely due to the retcon that occurred when the 100 new Pokémon were introduced to the series, and due to the ever-increasing number of Pokémon, with Pokémon from [[Generation II]], [[Generation III]], and [[Generation IV]] being able to be trained in Kanto during FireRed and LeafGreen and HeartGold and SoulSilver, this is likely the reason that the number of them as of the current generation of games is no longer mentioned in the anime. |
