Blue (game): Difference between revisions

Blue (Japanese: Green), is the grandson of Professor Oak and is the main character's rival in the Generation I games. Blue becomes the Pokémon Champion but is quickly defeated by Red/Leaf, the player's character. In the Generation II games, he becomes the somber Gym Leader of Viridian City, notable for being the only Gym Leader in the games to not focus on one specific type.

Blue is differentiated from Red by Professor Oak's notion at the end of the Generation I games that Red cares for Pokémon better than Blue does. This is also evident as Blue leaves the Silph Co. building while it's still under Team Rocket's control, leaving Red to take out Giovanni.

He is notable for being cocky and arrogant whenever the player's character encounters him; after losing, his typical way to bid goodbye is "Smell ya later!"

Misc

Gary Oak from the anime was designed after Blue. Furthermore, Gary's name comes from one of optional names for Blue. That caused many fans to mistake Blue with his anime counterpart. However, they are not the same characters and mixing them is always considered a grave error. There are also many fans that believe that rival from Pokémon Yellow game is Gary. This is also untrue. The rival in Yellow is still Blue but slightly redesigned to look closer to Gary.

Similarly, the notion of Blue as a League Champion or Gym Leader was never mentioned in the anime. This is probably because of the deviation in storyline--neither Ash or Gary are able to champion the Pokémon League, whereas their game counterpoints both become champions, at least temporarily.
