| − | 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. |

| − | 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. |
