Before the English releases of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, screenshots were released of a {{pkmn|battle}} with the {{ga|Blue|rival}} where the text string "''The <sc>Blue</sc> wants to fight!''" was used. While this text would work with a typical {{pkmn|Trainer}}, such as "''The <sc>Lass</sc> wants to fight!''" or "''The <sc>Hiker</sc> wants to fight!''", as they were not given personal names until [[Generation II]], it would cause problems with [[Gym Leader]], [[Elite Four]], [[rival]], and link battles, leaving them to end up as "''The <sc>Misty</sc> wants to fight!''" or "''The <sc>Lance</sc> wants to fight!''", as these Trainers did not at the time have titles, only their names. Because of this, the {{wp|Article (grammar)#Definite article|definite article}} '''''The''''' was dropped in the final releases, leading to the somewhat odd sentence style | Before the English releases of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, screenshots were released of a {{pkmn|battle}} with the {{ga|Blue|rival}} where the text string "''The <sc>Blue</sc> wants to fight!''" was used.

A screenshot in the instruction manual of English Red and Blue still contains the text "''The <sc>Brock</sc> wants to fight!''", possibly suggesting a late removal. The instruction manual also mentions '''Pokémon Leaders''' instead of Gym Leaders. | A screenshot in the instruction manual of English Red and Blue still contains the text "''The <sc>Brock</sc> wants to fight!''", possibly suggesting a late removal.
