Blue's strength probably lives and dies off how many votes he gets for sort of, but not really, being Gary.


Aren't they the same person? They look the same and are both the grandson of Professor Oak. Gary is also one of the default names for Blue in Pokemon Red.

I think it's kind of unfair that Blue and Red have Pokemon Trainer attached to their name. It's not a title like Commander or Captain. It's a simple descriptor. All adding it does is draw attention to the series they're from, giving them the benefit of being title characters...


excuses before it even begins?

"Corneria. Fourth planet of the Lylat system. The evil Pokémon turned this once thriving system into a wasteland of near extinction. General Pepper of the Cornerian army was successful in exiling this maniacal franchise to the barren, deserted planet, Venom. Five years later, General Pepper noticed strange activity coming from Venom. James McCloud, Pigma Dengar, and Peppy Hare of the Star Fox team were sent to investigate. Upon their arrival, Pigma betrayed the team, and James and Peppy were captured by Pokémon. Peppy barely escaped Venom and returned home to tell James' son Fox about his father's fate. A few years have passed. Pokémon has again invaded the Lylat system. General Pepper has turned to a new Star Fox team headed by Fox McCloud to save Corneria and free the Lylat system, once again."

That's why I don't get why we can't call them Ash and Gary in this contest.

When people say who the board favorite is, they are talking about BOP. It's not a perception, it's a fact.

General Pepper: It's about time you showed up, Fox. You're the only hope for our board!

Fox McCloud: I'll do my best. Blue won't have his way with me.
#260 | CasanovaZelos | Posted 8/4/2013 8:59:12 AM | message detail
And I think people are underestimating Blue as a character. Like, he actually has one, and he represents three of the five most important non-lead roles in the franchise. He's the first rival, the league champion, and a gym leader. The only thing he needs is to end up following in his grandfather's footsteps and become a professor, and the only thing he would be missing is being the villain leader. He actually has a character to like as opposed to simply representing the series.

Also, the oracle consensus very, vary narrowly favors Fox. There's like a 0.5% difference between them.

Although I think more people have picked Blue, it's just the Fox pickers have said he will win by a larger amount.

How do you define "same characters" between the show and games? Because Dawn totally doesn't have the same Pokemon from the games and is the same Dawn

I'm banking on this by putting Wolf in the last place and not picking anything for 1st and 2nd.

Wolf O'Donnell: Don't get too cocky, Star Fox.

Fox McCloud: We'll just see about that, Star Wolf.

Oh, it will be a negligible difference if any. It just seems kind of strange to add a title to the characters when no one else has that. Even N was just N, wasn't he?
