The reactions to Grand Oak on Twitter are priceless and you should totally experience them.
Last week, Nintendo released Pokémon Home, their new cloud-based Pokémon service that lets you store your Pokémon and transfer them from various Pokémon games. Home links the 3DS’s Pokémon Bank and will eventually also link with Pokémon GO to allow the transfer of Pokémon between all three platforms.
Along with storing and transferring Pokémon between systems, Pokémon Home came with a few presents for new users. First, everyone gets a free Pikachu. Second, everyone gets a free Kanto starter, which might be a big deal for anyone who hasn’t played since Red & Blue.
Third, you get to meet Pokémon Home’s caretaker: Grand Oak.
Grand Oak joins the rapidly expanding family of Professor Oak, which recently got a cousin in Samson Oak with the release of Sun & Moon. Grand Oak, as the name suggests, is the grandfather of Professor Oak, which makes Grand Oak somewhere between 70 and 150 years old.
But don’t let his age fool you. As clearly indicated by the outrageous glasses, cool beard, and fabulous hairstyle, Grand Oak is both “hip” and “with it,” as kids say. And Twitter is loving it.
Well, not all of Twitter. Some of Twitter just couldn’t quite handle Grand Oak’s overall appearance. We get it–Grand Oak is a lot to take in, and should likely be introduced slowly and gradually to avoid an overdose. But one acclimated, users will soon understand how Grand Oak is infinitely meme-worthy.
In case you want to see a summary of them all at once, this reply does a pretty good job of combining all of them into a single Grand Oak mega-meme.
It also didn’t take long for an absolute madman to create the world’s first Grand Oak cosplay.
One guy is even making a life-size version of Grand Oak in plush form. No word on when they’ll become available, but we’re sure they’ll sell out as soon as they hit store shelves.
So where does Pokémon go from here now that Grand Oak exists? Do they go super retro and make the next professor into some tweed-wearing college teacher that makes sure you’ve done your homework? Or maybe the next Pokémon professor will just be a dog? Has Pokémon jumped the shark yet or what?
