via.Serebii It might seem strange to use a new Professor in the Kanto region, as Professor Oak has been part of the Pokémon anime since the first episode. However, the change is likely due to real-life circumstances. Professor Oak's long-time voice actor in Japan, Unsho Ishizuka, passed away in 2018. Kenyu Horiuchi stepped in for the role of Professor Oak, but it's possible that the staff of the show want to respect the passing of Ishizuka.
It seems they may gradually phase Professor Oak out of the show, at least for the time being. It's possible Ash and Go will be based in the Kanto region because of some kind of technology that will allow them to travel great distances. This would also explain the laboratory setting.
Fans won't have long to find out, as the next season of the Pokémon anime debuts in Japan on Nov. 17, 2019.
