Blue is the childhood friend and rival of Red (player character), both originating from their hometown of Pallet Town. He is also the grandson of Professor Oak, a world-famous Pokémon researcher who also teaches at Kobukan Academy.
He eventually becomes the captain of the academy's competitive Pokémon battling team, spending much of his time in the Battle Hall.
Contents
First glance
Blue is a rather tall young man whose height is further stretched by his long spiky hair. He usually appears aloof, but he is a highly competent Pokémon trainer who also strives to reach new intellectual heights. When Blue is serious, he can take on an authoritative, though much more menacing appearance.
Primarily driven by personal ambitions, Blue can seem selfish and conceited even to people who aren't familiar with him. He is quite arrogant, but because he develops a strong track record of success, no one can really argue against him. As he is often associated with elite company, the environment he's constantly in does not help to keep him grounded.
Plot
Blue arrived at the academy on the same bus as the player, but made the conscious effort of getting into the dormitories, matching with a roommate, and reserving a room before his childhood friend and rival. Initially, Blue is introduced as a selfish and egocentric individual with an unhealthy obsession with outdoing the player in every task. While he is not overtly toxic or spiteful, his offhand remarks and brusque way of talking is an obvious sign of his distaste for the player. However, as time goes on, he begins to willingly cooperate with the player (and vice versa) due to a mutual respect between the two.
