Plot
Much as would become standard for third versions, players, like in the earlier Red and Green, started in Masara Town in the Kanto region, receiving a starter Pokémon from Dr. Okido. As before, the choices are Fushigidane, Hitokage, and Zenigame, and the rival chooses the starter that weakens the player's choice.
Like before, the eight Gym Leaders of Kanto are Takeshi, Kasumi, Matis, Erika, Kyō, Natsume, Katsura, and Sakaki, while the Elite Four are Kanna, Siba, Kikuko, and Wataru, with the rival still in the Champion's place.
Again, the evil Rocket Gang is causing chaos across the region, and it is up to the player to defeat them.
Changes from Red and Green
- Hanada Cave, the game's final dungeon, is redesigned.
- In-game trades are changed to different Pokémon.
- Game Corner prizes are different.
- Pokémon only available through an in-game trade in Red and Green are now found in the wild.
Features
Gyms
Much as in Red and Green, there are eight Pokémon Gyms in Kanto, each with their own type affiliation. The Gym Leaders are Takeshi (Rock), Kasumi (Water), Matis (Electric), Erika (Grass), Kyō (Poison), Natsume (Psychic), Katsura (Fire) and Sakaki (Ground).
Elite Four
The Elite Four at Quartz Plateau also remains unchanged, with Kanna (Ice), Siba (Fighting), Kikuko (Ghost) and Wataru (Dragon). The Champion is Green, who has Pokémon of mixed types.
Pokémon
Blue did not introduce any new Pokémon, and so the 151 present in Red and Green are the only ones obtainable. Like Red and Green, some Pokémon are missing from Blue and must be traded from another game to complete the Pokédex or evolved from less powerful forms.
Missing Pokémon
The following Pokémon are not obtainable in Pokémon Blue. In order to obtain any of the below Pokémon, they must be traded from one of the paired versions of Generation I which has that Pokémon available, which will be indicated.

Trivia
- Because the script for Pokémon Blue, rather than that of Red and Green, was used for the translation of the Japanese trio into Pokémon Red and Blue, an old man who trades the player an Electrode on Cinnabar Island claims that the Raichu he received "went and evolved". As Raichu does not have an evolved form, this makes no sense whatsoever. In the context of Pokémon Blue, however, it makes sense, as the player trades away a Kadabra, which evolves through trade, for a Graveler in this game.
- Pokémon Blue, as well as its older, paired counterparts, are the only Generation I games that don't give a waiting message when the saving process is in course.
- Unlike Red and Green, however, it doesn't inform the player that the saving process will overwrite the previous save file, a situation that carried over into the English versions.
