Professor Oak

About

Professor Oak is an image macro series featuring the face of Pokemon character Professor Oak, which is used to point out the various illogical details about the video game’s world and the alleged jerkish behaviour of the character.

Origin

The character of Professor Oak has been around since the very first games, Pokemon Red & Blue for the Gameboy, released in Japan in 1996 and introduced to the western world in 1998. A Pokemon researcher who is widely considered to be the best in his field, Oak is a source of much info and help throughout both the games and the spin-off anime. Interestingly, he is also the grandfather of the equally memetic Gary Motherfucking Oak.
