Trivia

• The song that plays when battling against Jun is a remix of the "Neo Tokyo" theme from Pulseman
• Strangely, among the default names for him in the Japanese version of Pokémon Diamond is Shigeru, one of the names that are default in both Pokémon Red and Pokémon FireRed for Blue. Another point of similarity can perhaps be found in the fact that a relative of theirs is well-known in the Pokémon world, being the leader of Sinnoh's Battle Tower in Jun's case, and being a Pokémon professor in the case of Blue. Furthermore, both rivals are childhood acquaintances of the playable characters who go on to compete against them in collecting Gym badges, unlike Silver and Wally. Finally, Jun uses the Starly line, while Blue uses the Pidgey line; they both use Heracross at some point in their respective games.
