* Blue's profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}}, like {{ga|Red}}'s, possibly correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork, suggesting that the sprites were created very early in the games' development or that [[Game Freak]] forgot to update their aesthetics to match the changes. | |||
** Although part of the changes made in {{game|Yellow}} are directly inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, the updates to Blue's front sprites were done in order to match his then official artwork more accurately. His updated initial profile front sprite was then recycled for the [[Generation II]] games. Another possibility is that Pokémon Yellow actually uses that sprite from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} as these games were in development at least a year prior to the release of Pokémon Yellow in Japan. A similar situation occurs with Red. | |||
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Blue and {{ga|Red}}: | |||
** The unused default name for Blue in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc> while Red's is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. Ninten is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wp|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]] and which has worked on the [[Pokémon games]] since the start. | |||
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Blue and Red differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>: | |||
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Blue's unused default name is いしはら ''Ishihara'' while Red's is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi''. Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekaz Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time, while Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games. | |||
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Blue and Red are, respectively, クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]] and ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku''). | |||
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red'swas subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ1). | |||
* Along with {{ga|Red}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Koga]] and [[Giovanni]]), Blue has appeared in every [[generation]] of [[Pokémon games]] so far. He is also the only [[rival]] with this feat. | |||
* Blue is the only character that has been a [[Rival]], {{pkmn|Champion}}, and [[Gym Leader]]. | * Blue is the only character that has been a [[Rival]], {{pkmn|Champion}}, and [[Gym Leader]]. | ||
* | ** As a Gym Leader, he does not specialize in a specific [[type]]. Also as Gym Leader (and as Champion), he does not use any of his possible {{pkmn2|starter}}s in the {{pkmn|games}} in which he is not the rival. | ||
* | ** As the rival, he is the only one to replace a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, as in his third and fourth {{pkmn|battle}}s, he owns a {{p|Rattata}} (which later evolved into {{p|Raticate}}) and is replaced in the fifth and consecutive battles. | ||
* His English name '''Blue Oak''' is the name of a species of {{wp|Quercus douglasii|oak tree}}. He shares this distinction with his [[Gary Oak|anime counterpart]], '''{{wp|Quercus garryana|Gary Oak}}'''. | |||
