Fuck yeah I've played the games. I'm the biggest fucking Pokémon fan on this website. Oak only appears as the 'first person you see' in the first and second generations as well as their remake games. Every other game has a different professor. And in Red/Blue, the first person you see is YOU, before the game begins. The player is standing there with frequently switching Pokémon. Since Ash is directly based off that character, it's only fit to use him.

Yes, Ash is more popular. Besides, Oak doesn't have enough material based on him alone that would work. The best jokes they could use would be "Are you a boy or a girl?" and something about his grandson, while anything else would be based on the games. Ash has much more material behind him, and with Ash they could include Pikachu, the mascot of the entire Pokémon franchise. Oak just would be boring, tbh.
