He is the mascot of Blue’s team, so there’s that!
guyzieman
They remake Gen 1 enough, it’ll probably happen eventually
Samwyzh
Would be cool if they made WaterBlue and ShockYellow as a follow up. We get sevi islands, orange islands, and a refreshed story.
We don’t NEED another gen 1 game, but it would be nice.
geek_metalhead
Well, the ogs are Red and Green. They changed the Green to Blue for the international release at the time because they thought blue was a more appealing color to western audiences. Since the remakes are based on the ogs we have Leaf Green instead of Water Blue

Blastoise was my favorite of the gen 1 starters 🥲
Edit: Still is too

They announce a brand new third version of these remakes on the 27th. Blastoise gets excited. It’s Lightning Yellow.

Pokémon legends kanto, Blastoise strikes back.

He’ll always be the mascot in my heart.
BlackerDoom
Yeah well he’s got a banger song

S’all right… it’ll always be my favorite of the three… nothing will change that Blue version helped launch things internationally.
Is what it is.
Collectively The Kanto Trio (plus Pikachu and Eevee) got to be mainline box mascots before that got turned into a Legendary only privilege.

What would they even call the 3rd game if they ever made it, WaterBlue?
Wizard__J
He got his own song…
BIG MAN BLASTOISEEEE
He’s chillin.

A man can pray for a new free “Pokémon Aquablue” dlc for these re-releases that could add Pokémon home support, online tournaments/battles , and maybe some gen 3 legendary events or eggs so you can trade them up to the newer games 🥲
0% chance of happening tho I will keep dreaming 😂

Would you prefer a Blue remake in the style of FireRed, HeartGold or Alpha Sapphire?

One and done. Blastoise went out on top, undefeated.

WaterBlue when
Xploding_Penguin
He had his 15 minutes
themosquito
In fairness, no starter after the Kanto ones (I’m counting Pikachu and Eevee as “Kanto ones”) *ever* got to be a box mascot, so he’s ahead of the curve there!

It almost happened. Game Freak actually did consider making FireRed and *WaterBlue* but Junichi Masuda felt that the contrast between fire and leaf/nature would be a better theme to go for. He likened it to fire and nature being opposites but still functioning together in the world. Whereas fire and water imply sort of adversarial roles. So I suppose in other words they wanted to encourage more of a friendly competition between the two versions instead of an enemy relationship.

it makes me said blastoise has always been my fav out of the 3

You’re gonna feel real silly when Pokemon Ocean Blue is stealth released on Pokemon Day.
Stork_nest
Kinda off topic but does anyone know if they included the mew and Deoxis events in this release? Also do we know if they plan on making this compatible with pokemon home?
ChaseballBat
I’m confused. Isn’t he the mascot of Pokemon blue?
Kamex is known for being on Pokemon: Blue Worldwide. Fushigibana is mainly known for being the mascot for Pokemon Green which has never left Japan. It’s not like Pokemon Blue stopped existing.
The series started with Red and Green it would make sense them giving Fire Red and Leaf Green it’s time to shine for the 30th.
I mean, you don’t need to be on any other covers when you were on the best pokemon game of all time. Those other 2 needed a second one to even have a chance.
BlumpkinPromoter
we should riot.

It’s okay I’ll be picking him like I always do

Your spirit lives on in the upcoming Ocean Blue, Blastoise. Rest easy.

I feel like Blastoise has always been done dirty, he’s the only gen one starter that doesn’t get a second typing when fully evolved.
introducing pokémon let’s go blastoise
Are you kidding? He’s loving retirement
You’re still the mascot to me, Blastoise.
Pokémon WaterBlue Version when?
I’m still choosing him in fire red!
Time for Blastoise’s Unquenchable Blood Lust!
Give us Aqua Blue!
I wanted to buy blue. Why green?!! In my youth there was red and blue. Then yellow.
Nah, he earned his retirement. Besides the world couldn’t handle him being on another box.
Pokemon blue exists
See red and green where the true orginal. When we got red and blue they where updated versions. So so Blastoise is the upgrade.
You sure?

Ok, but it can still do this.
