The old man (Japanese: おじいさん old man) is an NPC that lives in Viridian City, Kanto.
Role
Generations I and III
At first, he is very grumpy and will not let the player pass through to Route 2, until he has had his coffee for the day. This is just a barrier in the game, so the player will not wander past Viridian City until the player goes to the Viridian Poké Mart and delivers Oak's Parcel to Professor Oak.
After that, he starts to lighten up and help the player by teaching them how to catch a Pokémon using a Poké Ball. This is a guide for novice players in Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen. In Red and Blue, he carries a total of 50 Poké Balls in his Bag and uses one to catch a Weedle. In Yellow, he has just one Poké Ball and fails to catch a Rattata; he then goes to the Poké Mart to buy more and agrees to repeat the tutorial and successfully catch the Rattata after the player enters and leaves the Poké Mart. In FireRed and LeafGreen, he also only has one Poké Ball and will give the player a Teachy TV, which contains additional video tutorials provided by his grandson, Primo, in his Poké Dude Show.
In the original Japanese games, the old man is passed-out drunk. In the Western releases, this was changed to being grumpy from a lack of coffee.
Generations II and IV
He reappears in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver saying that he needs someone to talk with, then asks the player if they believe that he was once an expert at catching Pokémon.
In the Western versions, he starts by saying that he is wired from a double shot of espresso. In the Japanese versions, he instead starts by letting out a hiccup (Japanese: 「ひっく⋯⋯」) and requests the player to wait so that they listen to what he has to say.

Trivia
- In the Japanese Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue, if both the player's Bag and Pokémon Storage System are full, the old man's tutorial will indefinitely issue the command to send a Poké Ball and return the "full Box" message due to a programming oversight. This was fixed in Pokémon Yellow and the localized releases.
