Oak's Lab
Oak's Lab Guide
Oak's Lab is Pallet's main destination, giving Kanto's hometown a real reason to matter after the Johto credits have already rolled.
What this place does
Visit when you want Oak's perspective on the trip or when the game points you back to Pallet for postgame context. The lab keeps Pallet from becoming only a nostalgic backdrop.
Best time to visit
This is most useful once Kanto is open and Pallet is part of your actual route map again. Even without a giant side system, the lab makes the town feel properly inhabited and relevant.
Why it stays useful
Come back when the postgame points you south again or when you want one more anchor point in Pallet besides Red's quiet house and the sea.
