Professor Oak's Laboratory, also called the Oak Pokémon Research Laboratory, is a Pokémon lab located in Pallet Town that is directed by Professor Samuel Oak and, in the anime, his assistant Tracey Sketchit. Its functions are to research Pokémon, unravel the mysteries of these creatures, and study their characteristics and behavior in a natural environment. Another important job is to take care of the Pokémon that belong to Pallet Town's trainers.

The lab has many different environments for the correct development of all kinds of Pokémon. They are areas of grass, sand, rocks and lakes to promote good interaction between the different types of creatures. The laboratory has the technology to keep Pokémon healthy, and to make the largest scientific investigations in the country.

Message from the Editor

November 5

As most of you probably noticed, Bulbapedia has been closed to editing for about 24 hours for maintenance. During this time the staff has worked hard to move two manga sections to their English names. Pokémon Special has been moved to Pokémon Adventures, and Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure has been moved to Magical Pokémon Journey. All relating articles and templates have been moved as well, and the characters of Blue and Green have been switched, so please be sure to check the list of link templates and follow the new names from now on.

It is possible that some instances of the old names were missed. If you come across one, please change it to fit our new standards. We would like to thank everybody who participated in this mass move. We will continue working hard to make Bulbapedia the best, most accurate Pokémon encyclopedia on the internet - by the fans, for the fans.
