Pokémon fans, listen up, Professor Oak's had a makeover.

The new prof looks totally different to the Samuel Oak we know and love.

He's swapped his white laboratory coat and short hair for sunglasses and long hair and a beard.

And Oak's not just got a laid-back look, he's got a new name too - Grand Oak.
