Relation to the plot

Mr. Pokémon's House in Generation II

At the beginning of Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, Mr. Pokémon contacts Professor Elm about a Pokémon Egg he has found. In Generation II, this Egg is notably one of the first Eggs to be found, but in Generation IV (to tie in with breeding in the games set before HeartGold and SoulSilver) it is just "another Pokémon Egg". Elm sends Ethan/Kris/Lyra to collect the Egg on his behalf, and later entrusts the player with the Egg. It eventually hatches into Togepi and is revealed to have been given to Mr. Pokémon by the Kimono Girls.

Mr. Pokémon's House in Generation IV

Later in the games, in exchange for a Red Scale, obtained from either catching or defeating the Red Gyarados in the Lake of Rage, Mr. Pokémon will give the player an Exp. Share.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, after obtaining both the National Pokédex and the Kanto starter Pokémon from Professor Oak, Mr. Pokémon will give the player a Blue Orb in HeartGold or a Red Orb in SoulSilver. This will activate the Embedded Tower event.

Mr. Pokémon appears in the Golden Boys manga where he gives Gold an egg as an errand for him to deal with.

Characteristics

According to Professor Elm, "Mr. Pokémon" is merely a nickname; the character's true name is unknown. As a researcher, Mr. Pokémon takes pride in the discoveries he makes, although Elm suggests that these are not as exciting as he would make out.

His house, located at the northern end of Route 30 suggests that he travels a great deal since he has a large collection of foreign magazines and coins. After the Embedded Tower event, Professor Oak cites Mr. Pokémon's research on Groudon and Kyogre, indicating he may have traveled to Hoenn in his past.
