In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue is first encountered in [[Pewter City]] after the player has defeated [[Brock]]. He mentions how he also left on a journey from Pallet Town sometime earlier than the player, and, as Professor Oak hadn't made a [[Pokédex]] by the time he left for his journey, had had to resort to scribbling down on a map what Pokémon he encountered and where. He's later briefly met again aboard the [[S.S. Anne]], where he will give the player a [[Shalour Sable]] and warn them and {{ga|Trace}} about Team Rocket. If talked to aboard the ship, Trace can reveal that Blue actually defeated the Elite Four several years ago. When Team Rocket later takes over Silph Co., Blue is met again at the first floor of the company's office building in [[Saffron City]]. He talks about going to the Pokémon League to ask the Elite Four's help in taking down Team Rocket, but wishes to battle the player and Trace first before doing so. After the player has defeated Blue, Trace battles him next while the player starts climbing the building. | In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue is first encountered in [[Pewter City]] after the player has defeated [[Brock]].

Once the player has defeated Giovanni at the Viridian Gym, Blue meets the player in front of it and reveals that he had been asked multiple times to take over the Gym, and now that Giovanni has left it, he decides to finally accept the request and become the new Viridian Gym Leader. Trace earns his final Badge from him soon afterwards. During the post-game, the player can rematch Blue at the Gym once per day. | ||
