'''This Is a Beautiful World''' is the ending song of ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. It replaced ''[[ONE]]'' and is sung by Aaron Brotherton.

==Lyrics==
<ab>''Everyday we just keep going through emotions
and we don't know why
Seems like we never stopped to take the time to notice
life as it goes by
But there's a whole world out there
It's a miracle to see
Like the colors of the rainbow

It's a living symphony
So open your eyes
Its easy to do
Just take the time
And look around you
Never forget
This is a beautiful world

Do we really celebrate the beauty that surrounds us
every single day
Or ever realize the gifts that we've been given
By just go away
We can let it happen
Its up to you and me
Weve got to work together
Its our responsibility

So open your eyes
Its easy to do
Just take the time
And look around you
Never forget
This is a beautiful world

There's a whole world out there
Be thankful everyday
And grateful for the magic
It touches us so many ways

So open your eyes
Its easy to do
Just take the time
And look around you
Never forget
This is a beautiful world
Oh yeah

So open your eyes
Its easy to do
Just take the time
And look around you
Never forget
This is a beautiful world

Just take the time
And open your eyes
Never forget
This is a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world
Oh
Oh just open your eyes
This is a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world''</ab>

'''Shaymin''' is a major character from ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. It is voiced by 山崎バニラ ''Vanilla Yamazaki'' in Japanese.
{{spoiler}}
[[Image:Shaymin Sky.jpg|250x|thumb|225x|left|Shaymin in its Sky Forme]]
In the movie, Shaymin is known as the Gratitude Pokémon. It is able to communicate with other people through telepathy. After Shaymin was accidentally pulled into the [[Reverse World]] by {{an|Giratina}} and got caught in the middle of the battle between {{an|Dialga}} and Giratina, it used {{m|Seed Flare}} to create a portal out of the dimension. This strange experience caused Shaymin to become terrified of almost everything. It also constantly referred to [[Gracidea]].

Contrary to its cute appearance, Shaymin actually had an incredibly large ego and would boss people around. While {{an|Dawn}} liked Shaymin despite this, Ash commented that it was mean and it would {{m|Seed Flare|explode}} randomly.

Shaymin enjoyed being held by {{an|Dawn}} and also riding on Ash's head. It wouldn't move from there as it wanted Ash also to suffer if it was in trouble. Due to all this it appeared that Shaymin and Ash disliked each other.

[[Zero]] wanted Shaymin as it was the only one who could make a portal back into the Reverse World so as to capture Giratina. But after being exposed to the [[Gracidea Flower]] and transforming into its Sky Forme, it was able to stop Zero from fulfilling his goal.

Shaymin's personality changes depending on which [[forme]] it takes. In its Land Forme, its very fearful of everything. In its Sky Forme, it is much more brave and outgoing. It also uses different speaking dialects in each forme in the Japanese version. To change to the Sky Forme, it'll have to touch the [[Gracidea Flower]]. At night or when it's exposed to ice, it'd automatically change back into the Land Forme.

After Shaymin made it to [[Gracidea]], it admitted it never truly disliked Ash. It was grateful to all Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}} for all that they had done for it and after bidding a tearful farewell, it joined the other {{p|Shaymin}} at its home.

'''Infi''' (Japanese: '''インフィ''' ''Infi'') is a character who appears in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]].'' Her Japanese voice actor is 中川翔子 ''[[Shōko Nakagawa]]''. Her English voice is [[Michele Knotz]]. She is the program that pilots the [[Megaliba]]. Her name is taken from the word "infinity" and her design incorporates {{wp|lemniscate}}s.

There are holograms of her spread throughout the airship, most likely so that she could scout the [[Reverse World]], without the need to get out and report anything to [[Zero]].

She was destroyed along with the Megaliba after {{an|Giratina}} attacked it.

==Summary==
{{spoilers}}
The [[Reverse World]], where {{an|Giratina}} lives, is a beautiful and rule-breaking mirror of the Pokémon world. But the Reverse World takes in all of the real world's pollution, saving the real world from air pollution. As a result of the events in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'', dark, poisonous clouds have appeared and overlaid the Reverse World. Giratina becomes enraged and lures {{an|Dialga}}, which it holds responsible for the chaos, into its world. {{an|Shaymin}} is inadvertently drawn to the Reverse World, as well. Narrowly avoiding Giratina and Dialga's attacks, it uses {{m|Seed Flare}} to escape back to the real world; this allows Dialga to seal Giratina in the Reverse World.

Shaymin appears before {{Ash}} and [[Ash's friends|his friends]]. It is capable of telepathy, and has a habitual behavior called "Flower Carrying" (Japanese: 花はこび). It also has the power to transform from its original Land Forme, to an embodiment of the clear sky - Sky Forme. This transformation is only made possible through exposure to a special pollen; Shaymin is able to transform upon touching the [[Gracidea Flower]] carried by [[Leila]]. Shaymin, fearing for its life after its encounter with Giratina, journeys with the group to a beautiful, flower-filled place called [[Gracidea]].

Another character, [[Newton Graceland|Newton]], who owns a {{p|Shieldon}} and is a talented scholar specializing in study of the Reverse World, has wound himself into the plot. He appears beneficial to Ash and his friends. However, his former assistant, [[Zero]], appears as the main villain in the film. He seeks the power of Giratina to space-travel, which will allow him to take over the Reverse World. In order to unleash Giratina, he plots to force Shaymin to use Seed Flare once more. He owns a {{p|Magnezone}}, {{p|Magneton}}, many {{p|Magnemite}} and a robotic maid named [[Infi]], who controls his ship named the [[Megaliba]].

The final battle has Ash, Giratina and Shaymin face Zero. Meanwhile, Zero's actions have caused a giant glacier in the Real World to start moving, which spells imminent danger to a nearby town. Dawn and Brock attempt to use their Pokémon to slow the glacier down, but their efforts do not prove successful as {{an|Regigigas}} appears and announces that they're too weak. It then commands a herd of {{p|Mamoswine}} to help stop the glacier.

==Reception==

It took second place in the Japanese box office from its release during July 19-20, where 982,000 people spending ¥1,018,770,000 (US $9,463,400) and was beaten by ''{{wp|Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea}},'' which 1,251,107 people spent ¥1,575,820,000 (about $14,638,000) to see.

It is tracking at 89.8% of the box office performance of the last year's Pokémon film, ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' (Japanese ''Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai''), which eventually earned a franchise record of ¥5.02 billion (US $47 million).

==Trivia==
* This is the first movie to be a sequel of a previous movie. Although ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' is a sequel to ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', it is an anime special rather than a Pokémon movie.
* The events of this movie happen between the episodes ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'' and ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]'', and premiered in Japan between those episodes. Coincidentally, the DVD release in Japan (which is when most Western fans finally get to see the raw movie) was in the same week the dub aired ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''.
* The staff went to three locations in Norway to form a basis for the movie's setting - {{wp|Sognefjorden}} (the second largest {{wp|Fjord}} in the world), {{wp|Jostedalsbreen}} (the largest glacier in Europe), and {{wp|Bergen}} (the second largest city in Norway).
* This movie marks the second time when a legendary Pokémon from a previous movie reappears. The only other time was in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', where {{p|Mew}} made a second appearance after ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. It was, however, a different Mew, whereas the {{p|Dialga}} in this movie is the same one that battled with {{p|Palkia}} over [[Alamos Town]] in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
** This is also the first Pokémon movie where a legendary Pokémon reappears immediately after the previous film.
* The ending theme song for the movie is ''[[ONE]]'' by [[Crystal Kay]].
* Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}} and Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}} debuted in this movie prior to their game debut in {{game|Platinum}}.
* Palkia doesn't have a role in the movie despite it being on the first movie poster. It only makes a cameo in a flashback. This marks the second time that a Pokémon appear on the posters even though they don't actually appear in the movie itself, the first being in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' (one of whose posters showed {{AP|Treecko}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}, which did not play a role in the film). The poster for the non-Japanese release of ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' also showed several unused Pokémon in stock poses.
* This movie marks the first time that [[Brock's siblings|Brock's family]] and [[Johanna|Dawn's mother]] appear in a movie, and the first time {{Delia}} appears in a movie since ''[[Spell of the Unown]]''.
*The people who gave [[Gracidea Flower]]s to the families of Ash, Brock and Dawn may be a reference to the people in green who give players their [[Mystery Gift]] in the games.
* The mother and girl that were reading the legend of [[Rota]] in the beginning of ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and were seen buying a cotton candy and running away from Darkrai in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' are seen again making a cameo in this movie.
* {{ga|Lucas}} and {{ga|Brendan}} make a cameo in the opening of the movie, battling with {{p|Magmortar}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}, respectively. This may reference the meeting of their female counterparts, who battled in the finals of the [[Wallace Cup]].
* The movie shows {{p|Eevee}} and all the [[Eeveelution]]s ({{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Leafeon}}) during the opening sequence.
* This is the first movie to have the introduction credits take place during the title sequence.
* While marketed as a Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl movie, the series logo has the katakana for ''Platinum'' added to the bottom.

==Reception==

It took second place in the Japanese box office from its release during July 19-20, where 982,000 people spending ¥1,018,770,000 (US $9,463,400) and was beaten by ''{{wp|Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea}},'' which 1,251,107 people spent ¥1,575,820,000 (about $14,638,000) to see.

It is tracking at 89.8% of the box office performance of the last year's Pokémon film, ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' (Japanese ''Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai''), which eventually earned a franchise record of ¥5.02 billion (US $47 million).

==Trivia==
* This is the first movie to be a sequel of a previous movie. Although ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' is a sequel to ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', it is an anime special rather than a Pokémon movie.
* The events of this movie happen between the episodes ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'' and ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]'', and premiered in Japan between those episodes. Coincidentally, the DVD release in Japan (which is when most Western fans finally get to see the raw movie) was in the same week the dub aired ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''.
* The staff went to three locations in Norway to form a basis for the movie's setting - {{wp|Sognefjorden}} (the second largest {{wp|Fjord}} in the world), {{wp|Jostedalsbreen}} (the largest glacier in Europe), and {{wp|Bergen}} (the second largest city in Norway).
* This movie marks the second time when a legendary Pokémon from a previous movie reappears. The only other time was in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', where {{p|Mew}} made a second appearance after ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. It was, however, a different Mew, whereas the {{p|Dialga}} in this movie is the same one that battled with {{p|Palkia}} over [[Alamos Town]] in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
** This is also the first Pokémon movie where a legendary Pokémon reappears immediately after the previous film.
* The ending theme song for the movie is ''[[ONE]]'' by [[Crystal Kay]].
* Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}} and Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}} debuted in this movie prior to their game debut in {{game|Platinum}}.
* Palkia doesn't have a role in the movie despite it being on the first movie poster. It only makes a cameo in a flashback. This marks the second time that a Pokémon appear on the posters even though they don't actually appear in the movie itself, the first being in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' (one of whose posters showed {{AP|Treecko}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}, which did not play a role in the film). The poster for the non-Japanese release of ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' also showed several unused Pokémon in stock poses.
* This movie marks the first time that [[Brock's siblings|Brock's family]] and [[Johanna|Dawn's mother]] appear in a movie, and the first time {{Delia}} appears in a movie since ''[[Spell of the Unown]]''.
*The people who gave [[Gracidea Flower]]s to the families of Ash, Brock and Dawn may be a reference to the people in green who give players their [[Mystery Gift]] in the games.
* The mother and girl that were reading the legend of [[Rota]] in the beginning of ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and were seen buying a cotton candy and running away from Darkrai in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' are seen again making a cameo in this movie.
* {{ga|Lucas}} and {{ga|Brendan}} make a cameo in the opening of the movie, battling with {{p|Magmortar}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}, respectively. This may reference the meeting of their female counterparts, who battled in the finals of the [[Wallace Cup]].
* The movie shows {{p|Eevee}} and all the [[Eeveelution]]s ({{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Leafeon}}) during the opening sequence.
* This is the first movie to have the introduction credits take place during the title sequence.
* While marketed as a Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl movie, the series logo has the katakana for ''Platinum'' added to the bottom.

==Summary==
{{spoilers}}
The [[Reverse World]], where {{an|Giratina}} lives, is a beautiful and rule-breaking mirror of the Pokémon world. But the Reverse World takes in all of the real world's pollution, saving the real world from air pollution. As a result of the events in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'', dark, poisonous clouds have appeared and overlaid the Reverse World. Giratina becomes enraged and lures {{an|Dialga}}, which it holds responsible for the chaos, into its world. {{an|Shaymin}} is inadvertently drawn to the Reverse World, as well. Narrowly avoiding Giratina and Dialga's attacks, it uses {{m|Seed Flare}} to escape back to the real world; this allows Dialga to seal Giratina in the Reverse World.

Shaymin appears before {{Ash}} and [[Ash's friends|his friends]]. It is capable of telepathy, and has a habitual behavior called "Flower Carrying" (Japanese: 花はこび). It also has the power to transform from its original Land Forme, to an embodiment of the clear sky - Sky Forme. This transformation is only made possible through exposure to a special pollen; Shaymin is able to transform upon touching the [[Gracidea Flower]] carried by [[Leila]]. Shaymin, fearing for its life after its encounter with Giratina, journeys with the group to a beautiful, flower-filled place called [[Gracidea]].

Another character, [[Newton Graceland|Newton]], who owns a {{p|Shieldon}} and is a talented scholar specializing in study of the Reverse World, has wound himself into the plot. He appears beneficial to Ash and his friends. However, his former assistant, [[Zero]], appears as the main villain in the film. He seeks the power of Giratina to space-travel, which will allow him to take over the Reverse World. In order to unleash Giratina, he plots to force Shaymin to use Seed Flare once more. He owns a {{p|Magnezone}}, {{p|Magneton}}, many {{p|Magnemite}} and a robotic maid named [[Infi]], who controls his ship named the [[Megaliba]].

The final battle has Ash, Giratina and Shaymin face Zero. Meanwhile, Zero's actions have caused a giant glacier in the Real World to start moving, which spells imminent danger to a nearby town. Dawn and Brock attempt to use their Pokémon to slow the glacier down, but their efforts do not prove successful as {{an|Regigigas}} appears and announces that they're too weak. It then commands a herd of {{p|Mamoswine}} to help stop the glacier.

* This is the first movie to be a sequel of a previous movie. Although ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' is a sequel to ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', it is an anime special rather than a Pokémon movie.
* The events of this movie happen between the episodes ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'' and ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]'', and premiered in Japan between those episodes. Coincidentally, the DVD release in Japan (which is when most Western fans finally get to see the raw movie) was in the same week the dub aired ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''.
* The staff went to three locations in Norway to form a basis for the movie's setting - {{wp|Sognefjorden}} (the second largest {{wp|Fjord}} in the world), {{wp|Jostedalsbreen}} (the largest glacier in Europe), and {{wp|Bergen}} (the second largest city in Norway).
* This movie marks the second time when a legendary Pokémon from a previous movie reappears. The only other time was in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', where {{p|Mew}} made a second appearance after ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. It was, however, a different Mew, whereas the {{p|Dialga}} in this movie is the same one that battled with {{p|Palkia}} over [[Alamos Town]] in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
** This is also the first Pokémon movie where a legendary Pokémon reappears immediately after the previous film.
* The ending theme song for the movie is ''[[ONE]]'' by [[Crystal Kay]].
* Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}} and Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}} debuted in this movie prior to their game debut in {{game|Platinum}}.
* Palkia doesn't have a role in the movie despite it being on the first movie poster. It only makes a cameo in a flashback. This marks the second time that a Pokémon appear on the posters even though they don't actually appear in the movie itself, the first being in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' (one of whose posters showed {{AP|Treecko}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}, which did not play a role in the film). The poster for the non-Japanese release of ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' also showed several unused Pokémon in stock poses.
* This movie marks the first time that [[Brock's siblings|Brock's family]] and [[Johanna|Dawn's mother]] appear in a movie, and the first time {{Delia}} appears in a movie since ''[[Spell of the Unown]]''.
*The people who gave [[Gracidea Flower]]s to the families of Ash, Brock and Dawn may be a reference to the people in green who give players their [[Mystery Gift]] in the games.
* The mother and girl that were reading the legend of [[Rota]] in the beginning of ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and were seen buying a cotton candy and running away from Darkrai in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' are seen again making a cameo in this movie.
* {{ga|Lucas}} and {{ga|Brendan}} make a cameo in the opening of the movie, battling with {{p|Magmortar}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}, respectively. This may reference the meeting of their female counterparts, who battled in the finals of the [[Wallace Cup]].
* The movie shows {{p|Eevee}} and all the [[Eeveelution]]s ({{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Leafeon}}) during the opening sequence.
* This is the first movie to have the introduction credits take place during the title sequence.
* While marketed as a Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl movie, the series logo has the katakana for ''Platinum'' added to the bottom.

'''Littleroot Town''' is one of the the sixteen cities of [[Hoenn]], the land in which the games {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} take place. The town's motto is "A Town That Can't Be Shaded Any Hue."

The only exit of the town is north, which leads to {{rt|101}} and [[Oldale Town]] beyond.

In the [[Pokémon anime]], this is the hometown of {{jo|Harrison}}. It is also the hometown of {{Special|Ruby}} and {{Special|Sapphire}} in the [[Pokémon Special]] manga.

Also, in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', it is where {{Ash}} meets {{an|May}} and [[Professor Birch]] for the first time.

Unlike previous Pokémon games, in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player does not receive their starter Pokémon within the town itself, instead doing so upon rescuing [[Professor Birch]] on {{rt|101}}.

== Town features ==
* This is the town where the [[Player character|player's character]] lives. The game begins with {{ga|Brendan|him}} or {{ga|May|her}} moving into Littleroot from the [[Johto]] region.
* [[Professor Birch]]'s house and lab are located in this town.
* Strangely, the anime shows Littleroot Town as having a port, despite being clearly shown as landlocked in the maps of both the game and anime.

==Demographics==
Littleroot Town's population is 8 (excluding the main character, who lives, but does not often reside, there). This means that it is the smallest town in Hoenn.

==Trivia==
*The town's motto is a reference to how in {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} all the towns were named after colors, and how the games of Generations I and II caused the towns to be very lacking in any but one color so as to preserve the palette.
*Littleroot Town is unique among all towns that the player starts in. While all of them lack long grass, Littleroot is the only one without an area in which the player can fish.

===Name origin===
Littleroot is a compound word formed from little, referring to its size, and roots, referring to the fact that the families of both the player and his/her alternate-gender counterpart live here.

'''Professor Samuel Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキドユキナリ博士''' ''Dr. Yukinari Okido'', ''Ookido-Hakase'' and ''Orchid'' are also seen) is a [[Pokémon Professor]] and has a home and [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|research lab]] located in [[Pallet Town]]. According to Professor Elm, Oak concentrates on Pokémon and human relationships as a profession.
==Background information==
Oak gives his invention, the [[Pokédex]], to all beginning {{pkmn|trainer}}s in the [[Generation I]] games, and makes a cameo appearance in the [[Generation II]] games to give the player a Pokédex. He also makes an appearance in [[Generation IV]] to upgrade the Pokédex to the [[National Dex]].

==In the anime ==
[[Image:Prof_oak.jpg|thumb|left|Professor Oak in the anime]]
In the anime, Oak is most notable for his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|vast research facility]], where he cares for and studies hundreds of Pokémon, including those owned by, but not currently traveling with, trainers from [[Pallet Town]]. His often-forgetful attitude and other antics are also notorious. His Japanese voice actor is 石塚運昇 ''[[Unshō Ishizuka]]'', his English voice actors are [[Stan Hart]] ([[4Kids Entertainment]] dub), and [[Jimmy Zoppi|Billy Beach]] ([[Pokémon USA]] dub) and his original Brazilian-Portuguese dub voice actor is [[Wellington Lima]], but [[Dráusio de Oliveira]] voiced him in some episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and the seventh, ninth, and tenth seasons. Since the beginning, he has been voiced by Hugo Jiménez in the Latin American Spanish dub.
 
{{spoilers}}
[[Image:Sammy Oak.jpg|thumb|right|Sammy Oak]]
He appears as a young boy, '''Sam''' (Japanese: '''ユキナリ''' ''Yukinari'') in the fourth [[Pokémon movie|film]], ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''. [[Ash Ketchum]] befriends Professor Oak as Sam, when he is transported by Celebi into the future. We recognize this connection between Sam and Samuel Oak when, in the credits, [[Tracey Sketchit]] is cleaning out the closet and finds Sam's sketchbook, not knowing anything about Sam, and is impressed by the Professor's skill in art. Also, Professor Oak knew Sam's name even though Ash never told him. As Yukinari he is voiced by 戸田恵子 ''[[Keiko Toda]]'', and as Sam he is voiced by [[Tara Jayne]] in the English dub and by [[Rodrigo Andreatto]] in the Brazilian dub.

Prof. Oak lives up the road from [[Delia Ketchum|Ash's mother]] and the two often appear together as they are good friends. He currently lives with [[Tracey Sketchit]], who became his loyal assistant in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]''. Tracey and Prof. Oak are very passionate about studying [[Pokémon]] and are both artists. He has confidence in his grandson, but more often joins [[Ash Ketchum|Ash's]] mother and friends in cheering on Ash in his competitions.

Oak is sometimes speculated to be Ash's father, along with [[Giovanni]] and {{an|Silver}}. This has been argued by fans, partly due to the fact that this would also make {{Ash}} {{Gary}}'s uncle.

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 is an old friend of many other [[Pokémon professor]]s, including {{prof|Ivy}}, {{prof|Elm}}, {{prof|Birch}} and {{prof|Rowan}}.

==In the games==
Professor Oak works in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his Laboratory]] in [[Pallet Town]] with his aides. He gave {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Leaf}} their first Starter Pokémon. He is an idol to many trainers and researchers, including [[Professor Elm]], and always plays an important supporting role in the many games that he appears in.

He was a childhood friend of [[Agatha]]. They remained good friends (some speculate that they were a couple) and top-class Pokémon Trainers until Oak stopped battling and became interested in Pokémon research. Agatha said that he became soft and started to regard him as a fool. However, Oak still affiliates with the [[Pokémon League]] as an adviser.

Professor Oak was always well-known in [[Kanto]] but in [[Generation II]] he became more of a celebrity. He started to be famous in [[Johto]] because of his Radio Show with [[DJ Mary]]. He was going to turn down the show at first but [[DJ Mary|Mary]]'s energy and persistence wore him down. {{ga|Gold}}/{{ga|Kris}} first met him visiting the home of [[Mr. Pokémon]], another of Oak's childhood friends. Later he grants the young trainer access to [[Mt. Silver]], a place which only finest Pokémon trainers may enter.

Professor Oak has many old friends. One of them is [[Kurt]], a [[Poké Ball]] smith from [[Azalea Town]] and another is [[Professor Elm]] who used to be Oak's assistant.

Professor Oak is also a good friend of [[Professor Rowan]]. He visits [[Sinnoh]] often, has a home in [[Eterna City]], introduces trainers to [[Pal Park]], and gives them the [[National Dex]]. A letter that he sends to the player in a special event allows the player to find {{p|Shaymin}}.

Professor Oak gained has many fans and admirers. One of them is [[School Kid|Schoolboy]] Chad, who usually calls the player to give information about Oak.

He made a cameo in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)|TCG game]] for [[Game Boy]] on [[Professor Oak (Base Set 88)|his own]] card.

Professor Oak also was one of the two human characters appearing in [[Pokémon Snap]]. He was working on a [[Pokémon Report]] for the Pokémon species of [[Pokémon Island]], and hired [[Todd Snap|Todd]] to take pictures for the report. He provided Todd with the [[ZERO-ONE]] and its [[Dash Engine]] upgrade, [[Pokémon food]], [[Pester Ball]]s, and a [[Poké Flute]]. When Todd took a picture of each of the [[Pokémon Signs]], Professor Oak drew a connection between them and the {{pkmn|constellations}} to determine that {{p|Mew}} must be on [[Rainbow Cloud]].

In the [[Generation I]] games there is [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused]] Trainer data for Prof. Oak. This implies that Oak was originally going to be able to be battled. In the data, Oak has Level 66 {{p|Tauros}}, Level 67 {{p|Exeggutor}}, Level 68 {{p|Arcanine}}, Level 70 {{p|Gyarados}} and one of Kanto [[Starter Pokémon|starters]] at Level 69. This places his strength on-par with the player's rival and the Pokémon League champion. As well, four of his Pokémon are identical to the ones used by the champion, only higher level, so originally Oak may have been intended to be in the game as the champion, or at least another high-ranking trainer. This is supported by an email on the PC in Oak's lab, from the Pokémon League issuing a challenge to all trainers, then specifically requesting Oak come visit them. The only known way to battle Oak is to use a [[cheat]].

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Although Professor Oak's first mention was in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' in a conversation between {{Special|Red}} and some Pallet Town children, his debut was in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'', where Red had wandered into [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his lab]] and was immediately accused of being a thief. In his haste, Red accidentally released all the Pokémon in the lab, including Bulbasaur, causing the two to track them down and re-capture them. After being saved by Red from a {{p|Machoke}} attack in [[Viridian City]], Oak gave Red the Bulbasaur and a Pokédex. The professor also makes appearances in ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'', talking about [[Team Rocket]]'s experiments. Oak later appears in Volume 3 to battle {{Special|Blue}} under the alias "Doctor O" and reveals Blue's phobia of Flying-type Pokémon and her theft of Squirtle. However, he shows compassion by giving her the last Pokédex and forfeiting his position in the [[Pokémon League]].

In the GSC Saga, Oak is now known as the leading authority on Pokémon in both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] and has developed the three new Pokédexes. The first was stolen by {{Special|Silver}}, the second and third he gave to {{Special|Gold}} and {{Special|Crystal}}. During the battle with the [[Mask of Ice]], he gave out the titles to the six Pokédex holders and {{Special|Yellow}}. At the end, he employed Crystal as his assistant and thanks to her, the Pokédex had been filled and he owned all non-legendary Pokémon as research.

In the FRLG Saga, Oak was captured by the [[The Three Beasts]] to lure Red, {{Special|Green}} and Blue to the Sevii Islands; but not before he recalled their three Pokédexes. After he was freed at {{ga|Trainer Tower}}, Oak upgraded the Pokédexes to add the National Dex capability.

One of Professor Oak's projects was a full analysis of a report holding all information on the last awakening of {{p|Jirachi}}. From this, he worked out that it would appear where the Battle Frontier was being built during its opening week. He immediately contacted [[Scott]] and, while he would not move the opening, Professor Oak managed to convince Scott to allow a Pokédex holder to guard Jirachi. This was {{Special|Emerald}}. However, someone stole the disc with all the data from Professor Oak's lab.

==In the TCG==
{{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}} appears on a self-named card in the [[TCG]] which when played allows the player to discard their hand and draw seven cards. This card appears in the {{TCG|Base Set}}.

He is also on the card {{TCG ID|Expedition|Professor Oak's Research|149}} (shortened to Prof. Oak's Research in {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}}), which lets the player shuffle their hand into their deck and draw five cards. This card appears in the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}} set, and the {{TCG|EX Dragon Frontiers}} set.

He is also on the card {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Professor Oak's Visit|122}} in the {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} set.

In addition, there is an [[Impostor Professor Oak (Base Set 73)|impostor version]] which requires the opponent to shuffle their hand into his deck and draw seven cards, which also appears on a card called "{{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Impostor Oak's Revenge|76}}" in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set, a card which makes one's opponent do the same with only drawing four cards, but requires one of the player's own cards to be discarded, and on a card called "{{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Impostor Professor Oak's Invention|94}}", which allowed the player to look at the opponent's Prize cards and choose whether to let the opponent keep them or set out new ones.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Professor Oak appears as a random trophy wearing his regular clothing from the anime.
====Trophy information====
The leading expert on the study of Pokémon. It seems there are always new and mysterious species of Pokémon being brought to light, and Professor Oak is at the heart of it all with his insightful research. The Pokédex is one of his inventions: new trainers receive one, and a Pokémon to boot, when they start out.

==Trivia==
*Professor Oak is the first and currently only Pokémon Professor to have appeared in all Generations (from [[Generation I]] through [[Generation IV]]), appearing in Generation I and Generation III as the regional professor and making occasional appearances in Generation II and Generation IV.

* This is the town where the [[Player character|player's character]] lives. The game begins with {{ga|Brendan|him}} or {{ga|May|her}} moving into Littleroot from the [[Johto]] region.
* [[Professor Birch]]'s house and lab are located in this town.
* Strangely, the anime shows Littleroot Town as having a port, despite being clearly shown as landlocked in the maps of both the game and anime.

==Demographics==
Littleroot Town's population is 8 (excluding the main character, who lives, but does not often reside, there). This means that it is the smallest town in Hoenn.

==Trivia==
*The town's motto is a reference to how in {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} all the towns were named after colors, and how the games of Generations I and II caused the towns to be very lacking in any but one color so as to preserve the palette.
*Littleroot Town is unique among all towns that the player starts in. While all of them lack long grass, Littleroot is the only one without an area in which the player can fish.

===Name origin===
Littleroot is a compound word formed from little, referring to its size, and roots, referring to the fact that the families of both the player and his/her alternate-gender counterpart live here.

'''Professor Samuel Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキドユキナリ博士''' ''Dr. Yukinari Okido'', ''Ookido-Hakase'' and ''Orchid'' are also seen) is a [[Pokémon Professor]] and has a home and [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|research lab]] located in [[Pallet Town]]. According to Professor Elm, Oak concentrates on Pokémon and human relationships as a profession.
==Background information==
Oak gives his invention, the [[Pokédex]], to all beginning {{pkmn|trainer}}s in the [[Generation I]] games, and makes a cameo appearance in the [[Generation II]] games to give the player a Pokédex. He also makes an appearance in [[Generation IV]] to upgrade the Pokédex to the [[National Dex]].

==In the anime ==
[[Image:Prof_oak.jpg|thumb|left|Professor Oak in the anime]]
In the anime, Oak is most notable for his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|vast research facility]], where he cares for and studies hundreds of Pokémon, including those owned by, but not currently traveling with, trainers from [[Pallet Town]]. His often-forgetful attitude and other antics are also notorious. His Japanese voice actor is 石塚運昇 ''[[Unshō Ishizuka]]'', his English voice actors are [[Stan Hart]] ([[4Kids Entertainment]] dub), and [[Jimmy Zoppi|Billy Beach]] ([[Pokémon USA]] dub) and his original Brazilian-Portuguese dub voice actor is [[Wellington Lima]], but [[Dráusio de Oliveira]] voiced him in some episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and the seventh, ninth, and tenth seasons. Since the beginning, he has been voiced by Hugo Jiménez in the Latin American Spanish dub.
 
{{spoilers}}
[[Image:Sammy Oak.jpg|thumb|right|Sammy Oak]]
He appears as a young boy, '''Sam''' (Japanese: '''ユキナリ''' ''Yukinari'') in the fourth [[Pokémon movie|film]], ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''. [[Ash Ketchum]] befriends Professor Oak as Sam, when he is transported by Celebi into the future. We recognize this connection between Sam and Samuel Oak when, in the credits, [[Tracey Sketchit]] is cleaning out the closet and finds Sam's sketchbook, not knowing anything about Sam, and is impressed by the Professor's skill in art. Also, Professor Oak knew Sam's name even though Ash never told him. As Yukinari he is voiced by 戸田恵子 ''[[Keiko Toda]]'', and as Sam he is voiced by [[Tara Jayne]] in the English dub and by [[Rodrigo Andreatto]] in the Brazilian dub.

Prof. Oak lives up the road from [[Delia Ketchum|Ash's mother]] and the two often appear together as they are good friends. He currently lives with [[Tracey Sketchit]], who became his loyal assistant in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]''. Tracey and Prof. Oak are very passionate about studying [[Pokémon]] and are both artists. He has confidence in his grandson, but more often joins [[Ash Ketchum|Ash's]] mother and friends in cheering on Ash in his competitions.

Oak is sometimes speculated to be Ash's father, along with [[Giovanni]] and {{an|Silver}}. This has been argued by fans, partly due to the fact that this would also make {{Ash}} {{Gary}}'s uncle.

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 is an old friend of many other [[Pokémon professor]]s, including {{prof|Ivy}}, {{prof|Elm}}, {{prof|Birch}} and {{prof|Rowan}}.

==In the games==
Professor Oak works in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his Laboratory]] in [[Pallet Town]] with his aides. He gave {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Leaf}} their first Starter Pokémon. He is an idol to many trainers and researchers, including [[Professor Elm]], and always plays an important supporting role in the many games that he appears in.

He was a childhood friend of [[Agatha]]. They remained good friends (some speculate that they were a couple) and top-class Pokémon Trainers until Oak stopped battling and became interested in Pokémon research. Agatha said that he became soft and started to regard him as a fool. However, Oak still affiliates with the [[Pokémon League]] as an adviser.

Professor Oak was always well-known in [[Kanto]] but in [[Generation II]] he became more of a celebrity. He started to be famous in [[Johto]] because of his Radio Show with [[DJ Mary]]. He was going to turn down the show at first but [[DJ Mary|Mary]]'s energy and persistence wore him down. {{ga|Gold}}/{{ga|Kris}} first met him visiting the home of [[Mr. Pokémon]], another of Oak's childhood friends. Later he grants the young trainer access to [[Mt. Silver]], a place which only finest Pokémon trainers may enter.

Professor Oak has many old friends. One of them is [[Kurt]], a [[Poké Ball]] smith from [[Azalea Town]] and another is [[Professor Elm]] who used to be Oak's assistant.

Professor Oak is also a good friend of [[Professor Rowan]]. He visits [[Sinnoh]] often, has a home in [[Eterna City]], introduces trainers to [[Pal Park]], and gives them the [[National Dex]]. A letter that he sends to the player in a special event allows the player to find {{p|Shaymin}}.

Professor Oak gained has many fans and admirers. One of them is [[School Kid|Schoolboy]] Chad, who usually calls the player to give information about Oak.

He made a cameo in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)|TCG game]] for [[Game Boy]] on [[Professor Oak (Base Set 88)|his own]] card.

Professor Oak also was one of the two human characters appearing in [[Pokémon Snap]]. He was working on a [[Pokémon Report]] for the Pokémon species of [[Pokémon Island]], and hired [[Todd Snap|Todd]] to take pictures for the report. He provided Todd with the [[ZERO-ONE]] and its [[Dash Engine]] upgrade, [[Pokémon food]], [[Pester Ball]]s, and a [[Poké Flute]]. When Todd took a picture of each of the [[Pokémon Signs]], Professor Oak drew a connection between them and the {{pkmn|constellations}} to determine that {{p|Mew}} must be on [[Rainbow Cloud]].

In the [[Generation I]] games there is [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused]] Trainer data for Prof. Oak. This implies that Oak was originally going to be able to be battled. In the data, Oak has Level 66 {{p|Tauros}}, Level 67 {{p|Exeggutor}}, Level 68 {{p|Arcanine}}, Level 70 {{p|Gyarados}} and one of Kanto [[Starter Pokémon|starters]] at Level 69. This places his strength on-par with the player's rival and the Pokémon League champion. As well, four of his Pokémon are identical to the ones used by the champion, only higher level, so originally Oak may have been intended to be in the game as the champion, or at least another high-ranking trainer. This is supported by an email on the PC in Oak's lab, from the Pokémon League issuing a challenge to all trainers, then specifically requesting Oak come visit them. The only known way to battle Oak is to use a [[cheat]].

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Although Professor Oak's first mention was in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' in a conversation between {{Special|Red}} and some Pallet Town children, his debut was in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'', where Red had wandered into [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his lab]] and was immediately accused of being a thief. In his haste, Red accidentally released all the Pokémon in the lab, including Bulbasaur, causing the two to track them down and re-capture them. After being saved by Red from a {{p|Machoke}} attack in [[Viridian City]], Oak gave Red the Bulbasaur and a Pokédex. The professor also makes appearances in ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'', talking about [[Team Rocket]]'s experiments. Oak later appears in Volume 3 to battle {{Special|Blue}} under the alias "Doctor O" and reveals Blue's phobia of Flying-type Pokémon and her theft of Squirtle. However, he shows compassion by giving her the last Pokédex and forfeiting his position in the [[Pokémon League]].

In the GSC Saga, Oak is now known as the leading authority on Pokémon in both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] and has developed the three new Pokédexes. The first was stolen by {{Special|Silver}}, the second and third he gave to {{Special|Gold}} and {{Special|Crystal}}. During the battle with the [[Mask of Ice]], he gave out the titles to the six Pokédex holders and {{Special|Yellow}}. At the end, he employed Crystal as his assistant and thanks to her, the Pokédex had been filled and he owned all non-legendary Pokémon as research.

In the FRLG Saga, Oak was captured by the [[The Three Beasts]] to lure Red, {{Special|Green}} and Blue to the Sevii Islands; but not before he recalled their three Pokédexes. After he was freed at {{ga|Trainer Tower}}, Oak upgraded the Pokédexes to add the National Dex capability.

One of Professor Oak's projects was a full analysis of a report holding all information on the last awakening of {{p|Jirachi}}. From this, he worked out that it would appear where the Battle Frontier was being built during its opening week. He immediately contacted [[Scott]] and, while he would not move the opening, Professor Oak managed to convince Scott to allow a Pokédex holder to guard Jirachi. This was {{Special|Emerald}}. However, someone stole the disc with all the data from Professor Oak's lab.

==In the TCG==
{{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}} appears on a self-named card in the [[TCG]] which when played allows the player to discard their hand and draw seven cards. This card appears in the {{TCG|Base Set}}.

He is also on the card {{TCG ID|Expedition|Professor Oak's Research|149}} (shortened to Prof. Oak's Research in {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}}), which lets the player shuffle their hand into their deck and draw five cards. This card appears in the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}} set, and the {{TCG|EX Dragon Frontiers}} set.

He is also on the card {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Professor Oak's Visit|122}} in the {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} set.

In addition, there is an [[Impostor Professor Oak (Base Set 73)|impostor version]] which requires the opponent to shuffle their hand into his deck and draw seven cards, which also appears on a card called "{{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Impostor Oak's Revenge|76}}" in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set, a card which makes one's opponent do the same with only drawing four cards, but requires one of the player's own cards to be discarded, and on a card called "{{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Impostor Professor Oak's Invention|94}}", which allowed the player to look at the opponent's Prize cards and choose whether to let the opponent keep them or set out new ones.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Professor Oak appears as a random trophy wearing his regular clothing from the anime.
====Trophy information====
The leading expert on the study of Pokémon. It seems there are always new and mysterious species of Pokémon being brought to light, and Professor Oak is at the heart of it all with his insightful research. The Pokédex is one of his inventions: new trainers receive one, and a Pokémon to boot, when they start out.

==Trivia==
*Professor Oak is the first and currently only Pokémon Professor to have appeared in all Generations (from [[Generation I]] through [[Generation IV]]), appearing in Generation I and Generation III as the regional professor and making occasional appearances in Generation II and Generation IV.
