He congratulated the trainer for becoming a champion and offered to let the trainer choose which of the two of them to battle. Afterwards, the two of them began their roles as bosses of the Battle Tree. Blue specifically acted as a boss for Double Battles, and for Multi Battles he and Red would fight Sun/Moon together. |

In this game, his team was once more a variable, depending on whether or not the player's team was transferred from one of the Game Boy games, and if so which game. If the player used Rental Pokémon, Blue's team consisted of Exeggutor, [[Slowbro]], Ninetales, [[Clefable]], [[Electabuzz]] and [[Pinsir]]. If ''Red'' or ''Blue'' versions were used, his team was similar to as seen in the Indigo Plateau battle of those games, except that he used Magneton and Dodrio in place of Rhydon and Pidgeot. If ''Yellow Version'' was used, his Pokémon would the same as the ones he used in the Indigo Plateau battle of that game.. |
In ''[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'', Blue was the eighth and last of the Kanto gym leaders battled in the Gym Leader Castle. He had Pidgeot, Arcanine, Alakazam, Exeggutor, Rhydon and Gyarados in the first round. In the second round he instead used [[Gengar]], [[Scyther]], [[Piloswine]], [[Houndoom]], [[Kingdra]] and [[Miltank]]. | In ''[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'', Blue was the eighth and last of the Kanto gym leaders battled in the Gym Leader Castle.

− | + | Blue was also featured in ''[[[Pokémon Masters]]'', where he initially appeared at the beginning of the game to provide the game's introduction. He and his Pidgeot could be recruited as a playable sync pair at random through the Sync Pair Scout feature. Blue was also featured in the "Reach for the Top" event, where he tried to teach some lessons to [[Scottie/Bettie]] and introduced them to other trainers, only to find that the trainer had already recruited them to their team. For that event, Blue teamed up with Scottie/Bettie and [[Flannery]]. They tried to hold a series of elimination battles with the intention of fighting [[Misty]], but it ended with a rematch against [[Bruno]] instead. | |

− | *In the ''Pokémon'' anime, the character of Gary was based on Blue (which in turn influenced the ''Yellow'' version of Blue). Like Blue, Gary was Professor Oak's grandson and the rival of Red's counterpart, Ash. Gary's starter Pokémon was not revealed until the end of the Johto arc, and it was a [[Squirtle]], which had by then evolved into a [[Blastoise]].

Prior to that, he had used an [[Eevee]] which had been assumed to be his starter due to the ''Yellow Version''; that Eevee later evolved into an [[Umbreon]] during a Johto episode. Unlike Red and Blue, Ash and Gary rarely battled. Gary had a habit of showing off, and was accompanied by a group of cheerleaders. Ash and Gary had a handful of battles in the Kanto and Johto episodes, which resulted either in a draw or in Gary winning. Eventually, Ash defeated Gary in the Silver Conference at the end of the Johto arc. Gary has since committed himself to becoming a Pokémon researcher like his grandfather, specializing in fossils, and has made occasional appearances in later series and specials. |

In the ''Red''/''Green''/''Blue'' arc, he is shown as somewhat arrogant, but genuinely more skilled then Red in training Pokémon. His starter is a [[Charmander]] that ultimately evolves into [[Charizard]]. He and Green wind up gaining supporting roles in aiding Red against Team Rocket, with Blue ultimately fighting and defeating [[Koga]]. After Team Rocket's fall, Blue makes it to the finals of the Pokémon League tournament where he loses to Red. In the ''Yellow'' arc, he helps to train Yellow and later on during the final battles on Crescent Island he teams up with Koga to defeat his grandfather's nemesis, [[Agatha]]. In the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arc he becomes Viridian City's gym leader after Red turns down the position, and Blue later aids in the final battles against [[Pryce|the Mask of Ice]]. Red, Blue and Green are featured again the ''FireRed''/''LeafGreen'' arcs where they explore the Sevii Islands and battle the remnants of Team Rocket while teaching their starter Pokémon their ultimate moves. The Pokédex trainers are turned into statues at the end of the arc, but are restored by [[Jirachi]] towards the end of the ''Emerald'' arc, at which point all then of the Pokédex trainers aid in the final battle against [[Archie]] and his artificial [[Kyogre]]. His specialty among the Pokédex owners is shown to be Pokémon training. |

*Blue was named after the ''Blue Version'', as ''Red'' and ''Blue'' were the names of the initial ''Pokémon'' versions to receive international release. In Japan, he is instead called Green, because the ''Green Version'' was the original version to be released alongside ''Red'' in Japan. Green would later be used as a default rival name in the American version of ''FireRed Version''.
