He’s too cool for this mess of a gen, he is like Jesus christ, one day he will return and bring salvation upon the Pokémon franchise
What's he reading?
Porn
Pokédex you stupid Zoomer
Professors have to be attractive and non elderly these days
gen 8's professor was a literal hag what are you on about?
he's one of the sttongest trainers out there, he has put all of his knowledge to good use
>it's been over 20 years since gen 1
I wonder if the series will reach the point where Oak does of old age.
He was mostly only supposed to be around for Gen 1. Gen 2 kept him because Gen 2 was meant to be like an Expansion Pack (think like Brood Wars to Starcraft).
Elm wasn’t even in the original build for GS. You got your starter from Oak and there was even a fake evil Oak.
Was imposter Oak never a real thing in the mainline games minus beta stuff?
He's not "phased out," he's old. Mans is retired and living the good life in Alola rn.
>good life
>the shittest region
oh im laffin
The pokemon Kino timeline was 1-XY. The world kept growing and characters showed to exist beyond their region. Then ORAS happened and GameFreak gave up giving a shit about lore.

It was either going to be multiverse stuff or every remake just retconning the older installments. People would have been annoyed either way. I think the multiverse thing is probably the preferable option because the canon of the older games is preserved for people who have fond memories of how the games ought to be in their eyes.
Its how I feel about all the player characters other than Red, plus some of the other rivals and champs. Red, Blue, Steven and Cynthia are all over the damn place, what the frick are Ethan, Silver, Brendan/May, Lance, etc. up to now?
In the anime sure but I'd be surprised if that influenced the games too. They must have gone through half a dozen VAs for most of the reoccuring characters in the anime.
I actually feel the same about a lot of genwun characters
His VA died and so the character along with him.
Japs really do care about that stuff, he may have a new VA but they've phased him out.
>he may have a new VA but they've phased him out
He was still featured in a lot of episodes during SM and Journeys. It’s not like they could phase Oak out since he’s the narrator of the anime.
No, stop being a moron
While it's true that Japanese productions are more hesitant to recast long-time roles out of respect for a dead actor, long-running media juggernauts will still always recast at some point. Usually anime just puts the character on the back burner for a while and when time has passed they're back, though in a more minor role.

Only if the actual main character's seiyuu dies will the show end, why do you think TPC dumped Ash/Matsumoto Rica entirely? To avoid having to end the show... Of course, we know now that Ohtani Ikue will always be in the show so that's the last hope to finally kill this shitty franchise.
If you like Oak I recommend playing Super Eevee Edition, their interpretation of this character is my favorite after the official one
Probably dead. You'll see a memorial for him in Gen 10.
Laventon is better, this hack didn't even create the concept of Pokedex, he just got an electronic dex made
Laventon can’t even battle and sucks at throwing pokeballs also he’s ugly as shit
why does he look so angry all the time yet is really rather friendly
Because he has soul
