Professor Oak
Professor Oak (Okido in Japan, Chen in French) is Kanto's most famous Pokémon researcher. Based in Pallet Town, he hands new trainers their first Pokémon and their Pokédex, including Ash and his rival Gary, who happens to be his grandson.
A poet in his spare time, he closes many Japanese episodes with his Pokémon-themed senryu.
