Talk:Professor Oak

Runey676:

Impostor Oak should have a disambig, since he's also in the How I Became A Pokémon Card comics, so he'll need a page for that.

That guy doesn't have a name given, though. [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 23:19, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

== Takeshi Shudo ==

Does anyone have any info on this [[Takeshi Shudō]] guy and the novels he wrote? This goes out to the guy who put in this info, whoever he/she is [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 13:15, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

== Seaking? ==

When was his Seaking referred to? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

== Professor Oak's Charmeleon ==
I was thinking of making a ''Professor Oak's Charmeleon'' page. So before I get yelled at for making it (like what happened to me in [[Wynaut (anime)]], [[Kenny's Prinplup]], and [[Kenny's Alakazam]]), I was wondering if people think it would be nessecary. P.S. I know that is a confusing sentence Theryguy512 13:10, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

== SSBM Trophy info? ==

Should I add information on Professor Oak's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee? [[Image:Ani384MS.gif]][[User:ShinyRayquaza|ShinyRayquaza]] 20:32, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
:Yes. We already have that information for [[Misty]]. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] <sup>[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]]</sup> 21:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

== Sammy Oak ==

Am I the only one that thinks that Professor Oak looks NOTHING like his younger self? I know it's not just the age difference. They're eyes are completely different and so is their hair. --[[Image:Ani048MS.gif]]'''[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#15E200;">ケンジ</span>]]'''[[Image:Ani183MS.gif]]'''[[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#DC0062;">ガール</span>]]'''[[Image:Ani123MS.gif]] 02:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
:Hair doesn't really mean anything (he's an old man and it's been ''several'' years; changing a hair style likes ten minutes), but yeah, their eyes are too different. But then again, that doesn't mean much either (at least in anime).--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 02:25, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

== 50? ==

Where/when does it ever say that his age is 50? --[[user:Baby G|Baby G]] <small>([[user talk:Baby G|talk to me]])</small> <small>([[Special:Contributions/Baby_G|see my edits]])</small> 19:48, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

:In the 4th movie he is around Ash's age when he was brought from the future 40 years from the past. Simple math means he's around 50-55.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 02:11, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
:: Since we don't actually know his age back then, whose against chaning it to Approx. 50 as the listed age?--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 02:13, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
:::The fact that Rowan says he (Oak) is ten years in his junior and says that he (Rowan) has lived for sixty years is a better reason. And it should stay for that reason. --[[User:PsychicRider|<sup style="color:#000000;">'''Psychic'''</sup>]][[User talk:PsychicRider|<sub style="color:#000000;">'''Rider'''</sub>]]''<small>''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|<sup style="color:#000000;">'''☮'''</sup>]]''</small> 02:15, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
::::WHen you get that old people tend to round their ages up or down to the nearest tenth but there's no proof of that. Also Professor Oak would be one young Grandfather if he's only fifty by D/P time.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 00:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::You have to remember that in Japan, grandparents are YOUNG. Or at least, in Japanese media, but I assume that refers to the actual situation in Japan. If most couples are married by 20, and immediately have children, then you can have a 50 year old grandfather at the age of 10. "40 years ago, when I was your age" seems to be a common reoccuring theme for Anime/Manga grandparents. Also note that this age estimate was never present in the games, and considering the more youthful appearance of Oak and Agatha in the anime rather than in the games, we can probably assume that Blue's grandfather is older than 50. Remember, he's too old to go out travelling the world, training and fighting with Pokémon. Prof. Oak in the anime even uses a Dragonite in battle, so various things don't apply cross-canon. But it's not too inconceivable to have a 50 year old grandfather. In America these days, we often don't have children until much later, let alone get married around 20 (usually, marriage occurs in mid to late 20s, again, IN AMERICA). But my grandparents had my dad when my grandmother was 19 and my grandfather was 21, so if my dad had done the same, I would have had a 50 year old grandfather (approximately). Because I wasn't born until much later, I don't. But it's all about culture here. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 04:51, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

== What's with the pic ==

Why is there an Anime picture under the game's artwork section? Atleast I think its from the anime, I've never seen that before. Where's it from?--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 02:14, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

== Huh? ==

Why is the fact that you can actually fight Professor Oak through a glitch in Generation I not here? I think that's a very important piece of information. --[[User:Alex S.|Alex S.]] 23:17, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Whoops, I missed it. But shouldn't there be a Pokémon In Team thing for his Pokémon from Generation I? --[[User:Alex S.|Alex S.]] 23:23, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

== Status Unknown? ==
Should Charmeleon be under 'Status Unknown' as it only appeared in Pokémon 4Ever, and the Oak in that was about 40-50 years younger than the one now? [[User:Simpsonsdude13| Elliot]] 09:16, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

== Oak, Ash's Father...? ==

In this article it states "Oak is sometimes speculated to be Ash's father, along with Giovanni and Silver. This has been argued by fans, partly due to the fact that this would also make Ash Gary's 'brother'." This doesn't seem possible since if this were true, Ash would not be Gary's brother but his uncle, because Oak is Gary's Grandfather. This is also doubtful since, well, Oak is around 50 and Delia is probably around 30. It just seems unlikely to me that Oak is Ash's Father [[User:Runey676]] 00:15, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

== Trivia ==
* The plot for this episode is based on [[wp:William Shakespeare|William Shakespeare]]'s "[[wp:Romeo and Juliet|Romeo and Juliet]]" play. Likewise, this episode's dub title is a reference to a popular line in the play, "Where for art thou, Romeo?"
* The names of the two Nidoran, Tony and Maria, are taken from the musical "[[wp:West Side Story|West Side Story]]" which is also based on Romeo and Juliet.
* This episode mentions that Ralph and Emily like to compete in [[Pokémon contests]], though it is unknown if these contests are the same as those introduced later on in the games.
* This is the 100th episode of the entire [[Pokémon anime]], if ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' and ''[[Snow Way Out]]'' are NOT counted as episodes.
* When Jessie is talking about matters of the heart, her fantasy/flashback portrays her similarly to [[wp:Scarlett O'Hara|Scarlett O'Hara]] from the movie ''[[wp:Gone with the Wind (film)|Gone with the Wind]]''
*At the end of the episode, Team Rocket break the [[Fourth Wall]], replying to the Narrator's comment "All's well that ends well." "Did he say all's well that ends well?"
*[[Professor Oak's lecture]]: {{p|Kabuto}}. In the end, Oak picks up a Kabuto fossil, but accidentally drops it on his own foot.
*{{g|senryū}} summary: At the bottom of the ocean, Kabuto, lies resting.
*When Ash was viewing the [[Pokédex]] entries of Maria and Tony, the newly evolved Nidorina and Nidorino, respectively, the picture in the Pokédex was of them with the accessories put on by their trainers, instead of the usual Sugimori art.
*This is the first time Pokemon Contests are mentioned in the Anime.

=== Errors ===
*In the beginning of the episode, there is a dubbing error in which the narrator says Ash defeated Prima in the previous episode. In reality, Ash was actually defeated by Prima and not the other way around.

=== Dub edits ===
