Character from Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver by Game Freak / Nintendo
Professor Oak's insufferable grandson — former Champion of Kanto, now the last Gym Leader the player faces before the Elite Four, still cocky, still skilled, still somehow your rival even in a game where you've already beaten him once.
Blue has the personality of someone who was extremely good at something very young and didn't learn the lesson about that gracefully. He was Champion of Kanto before Red defeated him, and he took that loss poorly. Not in a dramatic, villain way — in the way of someone who just really doesn't like to lose. By HGSS, he's the Viridian Gym Leader, a position he took on after Giovanni abandoned it. He uses mixed types rather than a specialty, which is either arrogance or range depending on how you look at it. His sister Daisy will give you his phone number after she's massaged your Pokémon seven times, which is the most Blue thing imaginable — you have to earn access to a rematch through his sister doing you a favor. He's the sixteenth Gym badge. After the Elite Four, after Lance, after all of Kanto. He's the last obstacle before you can go to Mt. Silver. He still acts like he invented the concept of being a strong trainer.
Athletic and confident with spiky chestnut-brown hair and sharp brown eyes. Wears a purple jacket with a serious collar, looking deliberately styled — he's always known that presentation matters. He has his grandfather's square jaw and none of his grandfather's humility. Catchphrase: 'Smell ya later.'
