Blue (game)

Revision as of 23:57, 20 March 2006 by Shaddow Boy (talk | contribs) (fixed a few grammar errors; added info on personality difference from Red)

Blue (Japanese: Green, previously referred to as Gary in early manuals, French: Blue, German: Blau, Italian: Blu, Spanish: Azul) 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!"
