Blue Oak (Japanese:グリーンGreen) is therival of theplayer in theGeneration I games, as well as inPokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, theirGeneration IIIremakes. By the end of the main game in these games, he also becomes thePokémon Champion of theIndigo Plateau.
Sometime during the three years between the plotline of the Generation I games, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and the events of theGeneration II games and their remakes,Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, as well as during the events ofPokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Blue takes the place ofGiovanni as theViridian CityGym Leader, as Giovanni had disappeared after he disbandedTeam Rocket. Blue does not specialize in a particular type of Pokémon and, like Giovanni before him, he gives anyone who defeats him anEarth Badge.
InPokémon Sun, Moon,Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, he is one of the leaders ofAlola'sBattle Tree, the other beingRed.
In the core series games
He is a very cocky and somewhat unfriendly young man, typically bidding people farewell with "Smell ya later!" (Japanese:バイビー！Baibii!), and his primary motivation throughout the game is to become the greatest Trainer. Aside from that main goal, he also seems to take satisfaction from always being one step ahead of the player character. He eventually accomplishes his goal, defeating theKantoElite Four and becoming thePokémon Champion, but is quickly defeated by the player, losing the position.
InPokémon Red, Green, andBlue,Pokémon Yellow, andPokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Blue is the player's rival. He used to be a good childhood friend ofRed but became mean as they grew older. He believes that Red is his rival because they are of the same age and height. He will meet up with the player as they journey across theKanto region, challenging them every once in a while to test their skills. Like the player, he receives afirst partner Pokémon from Professor Oak, his grandfather: the one he chooses will be of the type which weakens the type of the player's choice. In Yellow, he will take theEevee Professor Oak had intended for the player.
Eventually, Blue becomes theChampion atIndigo Plateau, though he is defeated by the player before Professor Oak arrives to congratulate him. OnceProfessor Oak arrives, he deems Blue to have not realized how to care for Pokémon, which he commends the player for. Frustrated, Blue journeys to theSevii Islands at Professor Oak's request, obtaining new Pokémon to use in his matches against the player at the Indigo Plateau (as all in-game Champions return to their position on the player's return to their hometown).
InPokémon Gold, Silver, andCrystal andPokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, however, it is revealed that, after he was defeated at the Indigo Plateau by Red (Leaf does not appear and is not mentioned in the remake games, and did not exist at the time of Generation II), Blue returned toPallet Town. AsViridian Gym'sLeader,Giovanni, had abandoned it on his defeat at the hands of Red, Blue took the position, now handing out theEarth Badge to Trainers who bested him. In Generation IV, he also distributesTM92 (Trick Room) to those who win the Earth Badge, but does not give a TM out in Generation II. He has not lost his nature as a traveling Trainer, however, and frequently leaves his Gym, creating problems for Trainers who wish to challenge him. When they do find him wherever he is, he points them in the direction ofViridian Gym for an official league battle. Blue will not battle the player until they have the other seven Kanto Badges in the remakes. However, in the originals he can be challenged as early as after the meeting onCinnabar Island.
In HeartGold and SoulSilver only, the player can face Blue in arematch at theFighting Dojo. The method of obtaining his number is slightly different from the other Gym Leaders. The player must have their Pokémon at maximum friendship and have it massaged byDaisy Oak seven times. After the seventh time, she will give the player Blue's phone number when spoken to. He can be called for a rematch on Sunday night.
InPokémon Black 2 and White 2, the player can challenge Blue in thePokémon World Tournament. He participates in theChampions Tournament, with Giovanni filling in his space as a Kanto Gym Leader.
While he does not appear inPokémon X and Y, Blue is mentioned by a woman in the Magenta Plaza Pokémon Center inLumiose City, who says that Blue traveled to theKalos region to study abroad.
InPokémon Sun, Moon,Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, Blue appears atAlola'sBattle Tree, having been invited to be a leader of the facility alongside Red. When the player first enters the facility area, Red and Blue will appear to greet the player and congratulate them on becoming the Champion of Alola, after which the player gets to battle against one of them.
InPokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Blue is first encountered inPewter City after the player has defeatedBrock. He mentions how he also left on a journey from Pallet Town sometime earlier than the player, and, as Professor Oak hadn't made aPokédex 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 theS.S. Anne, where he will give the player aShalour Sable and warn them andTrace 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 inSaffron 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.
After the player has earned seven Badges, Blue appears inProfessor Oak's Laboratory in Pallet Town, where he congratulates the player and Trace from defeating Team Rocket at Silph Co., rewarding them with aKey Stone each and also giving the player all theKanto first partner PokémonMega Stones. 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.

Trivia
- In Generation I, battle animations are forcibly turned on during the battle against Blue even if the player has them turned off.
- InGeneration I games, the rival appears with no Trainer class, for instance simply "<name> wants to fight!" However, in the game data, there are three separate Trainer classes used by the rival character:Rival1,Rival2, andRival3 (Japanese: ライバル1Rival 1, ライバル2Rival 2, and ライバル3Rival 3). Each of these Trainer classes corresponds to a different sprite used in-game, and theChampion battle theme music plays when the player is battling the last one.
- Blue'sfirst partner Pokémon isCharmander by default in the data ofPokémon Red, Blue,FireRed, and LeafGreen. If theplayer were able to progress without receiving a first partner Pokémon, then Blue's team in all battles would be the same as if the player had chosenBulbasaur. This would be changed if the player gets their first partner Pokémon later at any point, causing Blue to use the correct team based on the player's first partner Pokémon from this point onwards.
- Along withRed,Lance, and theGeneration I andIIIKantoGym Leaders (excludingKoga andGiovanni), Blue has appeared ingenerations I-V of thePokémon games. He is also the onlyrival with this feat.
- Blue is the only character that has been aRival,Champion, andGym Leader.
- His English name Blue Oak is the name of a species ofoak tree. He shares this distinction with hisanimated series counterpart,Gary Oak.
- Blue'slevel 60Pidgeot inPokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver is the highest level Pokémon used by a Gym Leader outside ofrematches.
- Blue is the only Gym Leader who:
- Shares his name with his Gym'sBadge, as the Earth Badge is called the "Green Badge" in Japanese, matching Blue's Japanese name.
- Uses a fullparty of six Pokémon in a Gym battle.
- Does not have aspecialty type.
- Was a Champion before he became Gym Leader.
- Blue andPiers are the only Gym Leaders theplayer character battles for abadge that do not have a gym slogan.
- In the Round 2 battle ofPokémon Stadium 2, each of Blue's Pokémon is the signature Pokémon of a Trainer battled at the end of a stage at the JohtoGym Leader Castle:Scyther is the signature Pokémon ofBugsy,Miltank is the signature Pokémon ofWhitney,Gengar is the signature Pokémon ofMorty,Houndoom is the signature Pokémon ofArcher,Piloswine is the signature Pokémon ofPryce, andKingdra is the signature Pokémon ofClair.
- In Pokémon Yellow, half of Blue's Pokémon team areevolved by usingEvolution stones (or 2/3 of the team if Eevee evolved intoJolteon). This may be a nod to his first Pokémon in that game,Eevee.
- Coincidentally,Magneton, a Pokémon he uses in these games if Eevee didn't evolve into Jolteon, would later be made capable of evolving further intoMagnezone, which itself would become a potentiallyThunder Stone-induced Evolution starting inGeneration VIII.
- InPokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, if the player choseSquirtle, none of Blue's Pokémon share a type in the Champion rematch, making him the first Champion with this trait.
- InPokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Blue's team is similar toProfessor Oak'sunused team fromGeneration I.
Names
While this character had various names inGeneration I, fromGeneration II onwards he is referred to asBlue (Japanese:グリーンGreen). He appears as anon-player character in severalcore series games,Pokémon Stadium 2, andPokémon Masters EX. He was named after theGeneration I gamePokémon Blue in English, orPokémon Green in Japanese.
In the Japanese version, Blue and his sister Daisy are only referred to by their given names, and it is not known if they have the surname of their grandfatherProfessor Oak. However, in the English version, Blue's sister is namedDaisy Oak, therefore he is presumably namedBlue Oak as well.
The nameGary, after Ash's rival inPokémon the Series, has also been used. It is one of the default names listed in the games, and is used inPokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide (Nintendo Power, 1998).
Other names and terms have also been used in various media:
- The EnglishPokémon Red and Blue manuals simply refer to him as "your rival".
- The Japanese game manuals include text that name him based on a different Japanese game version,グリーンGreenR,レッドRed,ブルーBlueY.
- Game screenshots in the official game manuals use the namesRedRB andGaryY.
- InPokémon Stadium, he is simply known asRival (Japanese:ライバルRival).
This character is also known by some placeholder names, which are stored in the game data but not available in normal gameplay:SonyRBY (Japanese:いしはらIshiharaRG;クリチャKurichaBY) orTerry (Japanese:みていUndefined)FRLG. At least in Generation I, this name would not appear in regular gameplay, but could be displayed if someRAMaddresses are changed.[8]
- The English "Sony" references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition, while the player's placeholder name is "Ninten" in those games.
- The Japaneseいしはら (Ishihara) refers toTsunekazu Ishihara, the current president andCEO ofThe Pokémon Company and who was the games' producer at the time
- The Japaneseクリチャ (Kuricha) refers toCreatures, Inc. (Japanese: クリーチャーズCreatures).
- The Japaneseみてい is a placeholder for no name given yet. Possible translations are "Undefined", "Pending", or "TBD".
