>>40021305>the Oak family's only real claim to fame stems from Professor Oak's grandpaUm... bullshit. Professor Oak himself, hes one of the most famous and respected pokemon researchers in the pokemon world and not just in the anime, and he didn't get that way by riding on the coat-tails of an ancestor. He earned it and in the same fashion Gary is now doing the same thing, his ability as researcher was earned not given to him by his Great-Uncle.... though the money certainly did help.
