* If talked to before going into wild grass

:''"Alright Gramps! Leave it all to me! <player> I hate to say it, but I don't need you! I know! I'll borrow a <sc>{{key|I|Town Map}}</sc> from my [[Daisy Oak|sis]]! I'll tell her not to lend you one, <player>! Hahaha!"''

* Before battle

:''"Yo! <player>! You're still struggling along back here? I'm doing great! I caught a bunch of strong and smart <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Here, let me see what you caught, <player>!"''

:''"Hey, guess what? I went to <sc>[[Bill]]</sc>'s and got him to show me his rare <sc>Pokémon</sc>! That added a lot of pages to my <sc>[[Pokédex]]</sc>! After all, <sc>Bill</sc>'s world famous as a <sc>{{tc|Poké Maniac|PokéManiac}}</sc>! He invented the [[Pokémon Storage System|<sc>Pokémon</sc> Storage System]] on PC! Since you're using his system, go thank him! Well, I better go rolling! Smell ya later!"''

* Before battle

:''"Bonjour! <player>! Imagine seeing you here! <player>, were you really invited? So how's your <sc>Pokédex</sc> coming? I already caught 40 kinds, pal! Different kinds are everywhere! Crawl around in grassy areas!

:''"I heard there was a <sc>{{m|Cut}}</sc> master on board. But, he was just a seasick, old man! But <sc>Cut</sc> itself is really useful! You should go see him! Smell ya!"''

* Before battle

:''"Hey, <player>! What brings you here? Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> don't look dead! I can at least make them faint! Let's go, pal!"''

:''"How's your <sc>Pokédex</sc> coming, pal? I just caught a <sc>{{p|Cubone}}</sc>! I can't find the grown-up <sc>{{p|Marowak}}</sc> yet! I doubt there are any left! Well I better get going! I've got a lot to accomplish, pal! Smell ya later!"''

* Before battle

:''"What kept you <player>? Hahaha! I thought you'd turn up if I waited here! I guess [[Team Rocket|<sc>Team Rocket</sc>]] slowed you down! Not that I care! I saw you in <sc>{{ci|Saffron}}</sc>, so I decided to see if you got better!"''

:''"Well, <player>! I'm moving on up and ahead! By checking my <sc>Pokédex</sc>, I'm starting to see what's strong and how they evolve! I'm going to the <sc>Pokémon League</sc> to boot out the <sc>[[Elite Four]]</sc>! I'll become the world's most powerful trainer! <player>, well good luck to you! Don't sweat it! Smell ya!"''

* Before battle

:''"Hey! I was looking forward to seeing you, <player>! My rival should be strong to keep me sharp! While working on my <sc>Pokédex</sc>, I looked all over for powerful <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Not only that, I assembled teams that would beat any <sc>Pokémon</sc> type! And now! I am the <sc>Pokémon League</sc> Champion! <Player>! Do you know what that means? I'll tell you! I am the most powerful trainer in the world!"''

===={{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}====

:''"Who are you? Well, it's plain to see that you're a trainer… My name's <sc>Blue</sc>. I was once the <sc>Champion</sc>, although it was for only a short time… That meddling <sc>{{ga|Red}}</sc> did me in… Anyway, what do you want? You want to challenge me or something? …I hate to say it, but I'm not in the mood for a battle now. Take a good look around you… A volcano erupts, and just like that, a whole town disappears. We can go on winning and losing in <sc>Pokémon</sc>. But if nature so much as twitches, we can lose in a second. … That's the way it is… But, anyway, I'm still a trainer. If I see a strong opponent, it makes me want to battle. If you want to battle me, come to the <sc>Viridian Gym</sc>. I'll take you on then."''

* Before battle

:''"Yo! Finally got here, huh? I wasn't in the mood at <sc>Cinnabar</sc>, but now I'm ready to battle you. … You're telling me you conquered all the <sc>Gyms</sc> in <sc>Johto</sc>? Heh! <sc>Johto</sc>'s <sc>Gyms</sc> must be pretty pathetic then. Hey, don't worry about it. I'll know if you are good or not by battling you right now. Ready, <sc>Johto</sc> boy{{sup/2|GS}}/<sc>Johto Champ</sc>{{sup/2|C}}?"''

===={{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}====

* If talked before going into grass

:''"What, it's only <player>? Gramps isn't around."''

:''"Gramps, calm down. Don't get so excited. I'll get the <sc>Pokédex</sc> completed, don't you worry about a thing. I think I'll try looking around <sc>One Island</sc> first… Anyways, I am outta here!"''

* Before battle

:''"Yo! <player>! You're still struggling along back here? I'm doing great! I caught a bunch of strong and smart <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Here, let me see what you caught, <player>!"''

:''"Oh yeah, right. I feel sorry for you. No, really. You're always plodding behind me. So here, I'll give you a little present as a favor. A chatty gossip like you… [[Fame Checker|That]] thing's perfect. I don't need it because I don't give a hoot about others. All right, this time I really am gone. Smell ya!"''

* Before battle

:''"Bonjour! <player>! Imagine seeing you here! <player>, were you really invited? So how's your <sc>Pokédex</sc> coming? I already caught 40 kinds, pal. Different kinds are everywhere. Crawl around in grassy areas, and look hard for them."''

:''"I heard there was a <sc>Cut</sc> master on board. But he was just a seasick old man! <sc>Cut</sc> itself is really useful! Yup, it'll be handy. You should go see him, too. Smell ya!"''

* Before battle

:''"Hey, <player>! What brings you here? Is your <sc>Pokémon</sc> dead? Hey! It's alive! I can at least make them faint! Let's go!"''

:''"How's your <sc>Pokédex</sc> coming? I just caught a <sc>Cubone</sc>! I can't find the bigger <sc>Marowak</sc>. Where could they be? I bet there aren't any left! Well I better get going! I've got a lot to accomplish, unlike you! Smell ya later!"''

* Before battle

:''"What kept you <player>? Hahaha! I thought you'd turn up if I waited here! I guess <sc>Team Rocket</sc> slowed you down! Not that I care! I saw you in <sc>Saffron</sc>, so I decided to see if you got better!"''

:''"Well, <player>! I'm moving on up and ahead! By checking my <sc>Pokédex</sc>, I'm starting to see what's strong and how they evolve! Am I a genius or what? I'm going to the <sc>Pokémon League</sc> to boot out the <sc>Elite Four</sc>! I'll become the world's most powerful <sc>Trainer</sc>! <player>, well good luck to you! Don't sweat it! Smell ya!"''

* Before battle

:''"Hey, <player>! {{tt|I was looking forward to seeing you, <player>!|First time}}/{{tt|You came back, <player>! Hahah, that is so great!|Subsequent times}} My rival should be strong to keep me sharp. While working on my <sc>Pokédex</sc>, I looked all over for <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Not only that, I assembled teams that would beat any <sc>Pokémon</sc> type. And now… I am the <sc>Pokémon League Champion</sc>! <Player>! Do you know what that means? I'll tell you. I am the most powerful <sc>Trainer</sc> in the world!"''

:''"Why? Why did I lose? I never made any mistakes raising my <sc>Pokémon</sc>… Darn it! You're the new <sc>Pokémon League Champion</sc>! Although I don't like to admit it…"''

:''"Hey! <player>! What are you doing here in the <sc>Sevii Islands</sc>? You should quit copying me, you know? Anyways, I already got my <sc>[[Pokémon Egg]]</sc> so I'm done with this island. Heh, I bet you don't even know about <sc>Pokémon Eggs</sc>. You'll never fill your <sc>[[National Pokédex]]</sc> that way. By the way, I saw [[Lorelei|someone]] we both know on this island. Why don't you go look around if it makes you curious? Me, I don't have time to waste. Be smelling ya!"''

:''"Hey, <player>! How's your <sc>[[Pokédex]]</sc> filling up? It looks like it's impossible to get all the <sc>Pokémon</sc> by hanging around just these parts. Maybe there are <sc>Pokémon</sc> we don't know about somewhere [[Hoenn|far away]]… … … … … … … … … … Well, if I can't do it, there's no way for you to get it done. I'm not going to get all desperate over this. I'll keep collecting <sc>Pokémon</sc> at my own pace while I train them. That's what I'll do. So there's no point staying here. I may as well leave for home. That's that, then! Smell ya later!"''

===={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}====

* When first talked to

* Before battle

:''"Yo! Finally got here, huh? I wasn't in the mood at Cinnabar, but now I'm ready to battle you. … You're telling me you conquered all the Gyms in Johto? Hahaha! Heh! Johto's Gyms are that pathetic? Hey, don't worry about it. I'll know if you are good or not by battling you right now."''

:''"… All right, I was wrong. You're the real deal. You are a good trainer. But I'm going to beat you someday. Don't you forget it!"''

=====Pokémon=====

{{TrainerPoké

|trainer=Blue

|pkmn=Pidgeot

|epname=The True Road to Becoming the Strongest!!

Pidgeot's only known move is {{m|Twister}}{{tt|*|Blue called for the move but Pidgeot was defeated before the move was used}}.}}

==Trivia==

* 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.

* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Blue and {{ga|Red}}:

** 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 [[Tsunekazu 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 {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).

* During the development stage of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Blue was initially named ギャラ夫 ''Gyarao'', a reference to him being a Trainer of {{p|Gyarados}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/524989875867504641 Ken Sugimori's Twitter]</ref>

* Blue is the only character that has been a [[Rival]], {{pkmn|Champion}}, and [[Gym Leader]].

* His English name Blue Oak is the name of a species of {{wp|Quercus douglasii|oak tree}}. He shares this distinction with his {{Gary|anime counterpart}}, {{wp|Quercus garryana|Gary Oak}}.

* Blue's {{p|Exeggutor}} in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} is the only Champion Pokémon in any game to know less than four [[move]]s.

* In the Round 2 battle of {{g|Stadium 2}}, each of Blue's Pokémon is the signature Pokémon of a Trainer battled at the end of a stage at the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]: {{p|Gengar}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Morty]], {{p|Scyther}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Bugsy]], {{p|Piloswine}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Pryce]], {{p|Houndoom}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Archer]], {{p|Kingdra}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Clair]], and {{p|Miltank}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Whitney]].
