Blue Oak (Japanese: オーキド・グリーン Green Okido) 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 Generation I games' plotline and the events of the Generation II games and their remakes, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Blue took the place of Giovanni as the Viridian City Gym Leader, as Giovanni had mysteriously 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 the games

Role

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 will meet up with the player as he or she journeys across the Kanto region, challenging him or her 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 Prof 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. Frustrated, he 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).

Professor Oak, his grandfather, deems Blue to have not realized how to care for Pokémon, which he commends the player for, on becoming Champion. This is evident in the state Blue leaves Silph Co. in, which is still under Team Rocket control, leaving the player to take out Giovanni.

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 he or she has the other seven Kanto Badges in remakes. However, in originals he can be challenged as early as after the meeting on Cinnabar Island.

In Pokémon 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 his or her 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.

Not only that, I assembled teams that would beat any Pokémon type! And now! I am the Pokémon League Champion! <Player>! Do you know what that means? I'll tell you! I am the most powerful trainer in the world!"

• Being defeated

"NO! That can't be! You beat my best! After all that work to become League champ? My reign is over already? It's not fair!"

• After being defeated

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

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

Cinnabar Island

"Who are you? Well, it's plain to see that you're a trainer… My name's Blue. I was once the Champion, although it was for only a short time… That meddling Red 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 Pokémon. 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 Viridian Gym. I'll take you on then."

Viridian Gym

• 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? Heh! Johto's Gyms 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, Johto boy^GS/Johto Champ^C?"

• Being defeated

"What? How the heck did I lose to you? … Tch, all right… Here, take this-- it's EarthBadge."

• After being defeated

"… 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!"

"Listen, you. You better not lose until I beat you. Got it?"

• When receiving National Pokédex:

"Hey, I heard that! Gramps, what's with favoring <player> over me all the time? I went and collected more Pokémon and faster, too. You should just let me handle everything."

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

"Hey! <player>! What are you doing here in the Sevii Islands? You should quit copying me, you know? Anyways, I already got my Pokémon Egg so I'm done with this island. Heh, I bet you don't even know about Pokémon Eggs. You'll never fill your National Pokédex that way. By the way, I saw 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!"

Six Island

"Hey, <player>! How's your Pokédex filling up? It looks like it's impossible to get all the Pokémon by hanging around just these parts. Maybe there are Pokémon we don't know about somewhere 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 Pokémon 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!"

• After sending out last Pokémon

"Heh heh heh… You're unprepared for this. We'll knock you down!"

• Last Pokémon on critical health

"Perhaps I'm the one who was unprepared?"

• Being defeated

"This is the real power of Johto…"

• After being defeated

"No way! How the heck did I lose to you? … Tch, all right… Here, take this. It's the Earth Badge."

"With this Badge, you'll be able to use the HM move Rock Climb! Here! Take this as well!"

"It contains Trick Room! It allows slower Pokémon to move before faster Pokémon for a while. It's a very tricky move, isn't it? Hence the name!"

"… 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!"

• Blue calling the Player

"I'm Blue. Man, this guy called Red brought me down in a heartbeat. I haven't seen him in a long time...I wonder where he is and what he's up to...Come to think of it, you look a little bit like Red. Yeah, you do. Just...Just a little bit. Whatever..."

"I’m Blue. When I look at Pokémon, I get a strange feeling—you ever get that? There’s round ones, flying ones, swimming ones, flaming ones, freezing ones, shiny ones, dark ones—there are so many different types, and yet, they’re all Pokémon. I mean, like Pokémon, there’s not just one type of person, either…But it’s still kind of strange when you think about it."

"I’m Blue. Anyway, you’re really something. Traveling all by yourself, visiting all these different Gyms you find and beating them all…Well, you’re not really alone…You’ve got Pokémon with you!"

If he is waiting at the Fighting Dojo:

"I'm Blue. Remember we made plans to battle at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City? Wha...! Did you seriously forget? C'mon, I don't have all day!"

Trivia

• Blue's profile front sprites from Pokémon Red and Green, like 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.
  • Although part of the changes made in Pokémon Yellow are directly inspired by the anime, the updates to Blue's front sprites were done in order to match his then official artwork more accurately. Then, possibly, his updated initial profile front sprite was recycled for the Generation II games. Another possibility is that Pokémon Yellow actually uses that sprite from Pokémon Gold and Silver, as these games were originally scheduled for a March 1998 release according to the Official Guidebook of Nintendo Spaceworld '97 (Japanese: NINTENDOスペースワールド'97オフィシャルガイドブック) and the Nintendo Spaceworld 1997 website, while Pokémon Yellow came out in September 1998, just months after Game Freak decided to delay them. A similar situation occurs with Red.
• Hidden data in the Generation I games reveals placeholder names for Blue and Red:
  • The unused default name for Blue in the English Generation I games is Sony while Red's is Ninten. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few memory addresses in RAM can allow for these names to appear as shown here. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. Ninten is also the default name of the main protagonist of Mother, a game developed by Creatures, Inc., which has worked on the Pokémon games since the start.
  • In the Japanese Generation I games, the unused default names for Blue and Red differ between Pokémon Red and Green and Pokémon Blue and then between the latter and Pokémon Yellow:
    • 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 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 Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Blue and Red are, respectively, クリチャ Kuricha, a reference to Creatures, Inc. and ゲーフリ Gēfuri, an abbreviation of Game Freak's name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク Gēmu Furīku).
    • In Pokémon 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 Pokémon Red and Green, Blue was initially named ギャラ夫 Gyarao, a reference to him being a Trainer of Gyarados.
• 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 Exeggutor in Pokémon Red and Blue is the only Champion Pokémon in any game to know less than four moves.
• 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 to share his name with his Gym's Badge, as the Earth Badge is called the "Green Badge" in Japanese, matching Blue's Japanese name.
  • Blue is also the only Gym Leader to use a full party of six Pokémon in a Gym battle.
• 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: Gengar is the signature Pokémon of Morty, Scyther is the signature Pokémon of Bugsy, Piloswine is the signature Pokémon of Pryce, Houndoom is the signature Pokémon of Archer, Kingdra is the signature Pokémon of Clair, and Miltank is the signature Pokémon of Whitney.
• In Yellow, half of Blue's Pokémon team were evolved by using evolutionary stones. This may be a nod to his starter, Eevee.
• Blue is the only Champion not to accompany the player to the Hall of Fame after being defeated at the Pokémon League. Instead, the player is accompanied by Professor Oak.
