Blue Oak (Japanese: グリーン Green) is the rival of the player and the Champion in the Generation I games, as well as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, their Generation III remakes.

Sometime during the three years between the plotline of the Generation I games, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and the events of the Generation II games and their remakes, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, as well as during the events of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Blue takes the place of Giovanni as the Viridian City Gym Leader, as Giovanni had disappeared after he disbanded Team Rocket. Blue does not specialize in a particular type of Pokémon and, like Giovanni before him, he gives anyone who defeats him an Earth Badge.

In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, he is one of the leaders of Alola's Battle Tree, the other being Red.

Terminology

The story of the protagonist and the rival in the Japanese manual of Pokémon Yellow

Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide

While he had various names in Generation I, from Generation II onwards he is referred to as Blue (Japanese: グリーン Green). He appears as a non-player character in several core series games, Pokémon Stadium 2, and Pokémon Masters EX. He was named after the Generation I game Pokémon Blue in English, or Pokémon Green in Japanese.

In the Japanese version, Blue and his sister Daisy are only known by their given names; it is not confirmed if they share a surname with their grandfather Professor Oak. However, in the English version, Blue's sister is named Daisy Oak, therefore he should be Blue Oak as well.

In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from Generation I, the rival's name depends on the current game: Green^R, Red^GB, or Blue^Y (Japanese: グリーン, レッド, or ブルー). However, this was adapted as "your rival" instead in the English version. For instance:

• In the Japanese manuals of the Generation I games:

  「となりには幼(おさな)なじみのグリーン(ライバル)が住(す)んでいます」 ([...] his childhood friend Green (rival) lives next door.)^R

  「となりには幼(おさな)なじみのレッド(ライバル)が住(す)んでいます」 ([...] his childhood friend Red (rival) lives next door.)^GB

  「となりには幼(おさな)なじみのブルー(ライバル)が住(す)んでいます」 ([...] his childhood friend Blue (rival) lives next door.)^Y

• In the English manuals:

  "Your rival lives next door to you."^RB

  "[...] your next door neighbor [...] even thinks of you as his rival."^Y

In some game screenshots from the English manuals, the rival's name appears as Red^RB or Gary^Y. In Pokémon Stadium, he is simply known as Rival (Japanese: ライバル Rival).

In the Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide (Nintendo Power, 1998), the rival is named Gary, sharing the name of his anime counterpart (while the player is named Ash at this point). This is also found in the list of default names.

He is also known by some placeholder names, which are stored in the game data but not available in normal gameplay: Sony^RBY (Japanese: いしはら Ishihara^RG; クリチャ Kuricha^BY) or Terry^FRLG. At least in Generation I, there are some hidden game mechanics that would display this name, therefore it should become visible if some RAM addresses were changed.

• 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 to Tsunekazu Ishihara, the current president and CEO of The Pokémon Company and who was the games' producer at the time
• The Japanese クリチャ (Kuricha) refers to Creatures, Inc. (Japanese: クリーチャーズ Creatures).

During the development stage of Pokémon Red and Green, he was initially named ギャラ夫 (Gyarao), a reference to him being a Trainer of Gyarados.

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 the Kanto Elite Four and becoming the Pokémon Champion, but is quickly defeated by the player, losing the position.

In Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue, Pokémon Yellow, and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Blue is the player's rival. He used to be a good childhood friend of Red 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 the Kanto region, challenging them every once in a while to test their skills. Like the player, he receives a starter 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 the Eevee Professor Oak had intended for the player.

Eventually, Blue becomes the Champion at Indigo Plateau, though he is defeated by the player before Professor Oak arrives to congratulate him. Once Professor Oak arrives, he deems Blue to have not realized how to care for Pokémon, which he commends the player for. Frustrated, Blue journeys to the Sevii 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).

In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal and Pokémon 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 to Pallet Town. As Viridian Gym's Leader, Giovanni, had abandoned it on his defeat at the hands of Red, Blue took the position, now handing out the Earth Badge to Trainers who bested him. In Generation IV, he also distributes TM92 (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 of Viridian 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 on Cinnabar Island.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver only, the player can face Blue in a rematch at the Fighting 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 by Daisy 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.

In Black 2 and White 2, the player can challenge Blue in the Pokémon World Tournament. He participates in the Champions Tournament, with Giovanni filling in his space as a Kanto Gym Leader.

While he does not appear in X and Y, Blue is mentioned by a woman in the Magenta Plaza Pokémon Center in Lumiose City, who says that Blue traveled to the Kalos region to study abroad.

In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, Blue appears at Alola's Battle 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.

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Blue is first encountered in Pewter City after the player has defeated Brock. He mentions how he also left on a journey from Pallet Town sometime earlier than the player, and, as Professor Oak hadn't made a Pokédex 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 the S.S. Anne, where he will give the player a Shalour Sable and warn them and Trace 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 in Saffron 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 in Professor Oak's Laboratory in Pallet Town, where he congratulates the player and Trace from defeating Team Rocket at Silph Co., rewarding them with a Key Stone each and also giving the player all the Kanto starter Pokémon Mega 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 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 (Japanese: ライバル1 Rival 1), Rival2 (Japanese: ライバル2 Rival 2), and Rival3 (Japanese: ライバル3 Rival 3). Each of these Trainer classes corresponds to a different sprite used in-game, and the Champion battle theme music plays when the player is battling the last one.
• Blue's starter Pokémon is Charmander by default in the data of Pokémon Red, Blue, FireRed, and LeafGreen. If the player were able to progress without receiving a starter Pokémon, then Blue's team in all battles would be the same as if the player had chosen Bulbasaur. This would be changed if the player gets their starter Pokémon later at any point, causing Blue to use the correct team based on the player's starter from this point onwards.
• Along with Red, Lance, and the Generation I and III Kanto Gym Leaders (excluding Koga and Giovanni), Blue has appeared in generations I-V of the Pokémon games. He is also the only rival with this feat.
• Blue is the only character that has been a Rival, Champion, and Gym Leader.
• His English name Blue Oak is the name of a species of oak tree. He shares this distinction with his anime counterpart, Gary Oak.
• Blue's level 60 Pidgeot in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver is the highest level Pokémon used by a Gym Leader outside of rematches.
• Blue is the only Gym Leader who:
  • Shares his name with his Gym's Badge, as the Earth Badge is called the "Green Badge" in Japanese, matching Blue's Japanese name.
  • Uses a full party of six Pokémon in a Gym battle.
  • Does not have a specialty type.
  • Was a Champion before he became Gym Leader.
• Blue and Piers are the only Gym Leaders the player character battles for a badge that do not have a gym slogan.
• In the Round 2 battle of Pokémon 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: Scyther is the signature Pokémon of Bugsy, Miltank is the signature Pokémon of Whitney, Gengar is the signature Pokémon of Morty, Houndoom is the signature Pokémon of Archer, Piloswine is the signature Pokémon of Pryce, and Kingdra is the signature Pokémon of Clair.
• In Yellow, half of Blue's Pokémon team are evolved by using Evolution stones (or 2/3 of the team if Eevee evolved into Jolteon). This may be a nod to his starter, Eevee.
• In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, if the player chose Squirtle, none of Blue's Pokémon share a type in the Champion rematch, making him the first Champion with this trait.
• In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Blue's team is similar to Professor Oak's unused team from Generation I.
