Pok?mon Special

Green, called Blue (ブルー, Burk?) in the Japanese version, is a fictional character in the manga series Pok?mon Adventures. She is a wily, underhanded con artist who begins as a minor character but later becomes a friendly ally to the heroes.

Originally, the manga followed the adventures of the character named Red and mainly chronicled his journey of discovery from Pallet Town to becoming a Pok?mon Master. The story was true to the spirit of the original game and therefore included the rival character Blue (Green, in Japan), coinciding with the default names that the player could choose in the original Game Boy games, and the names of the games themselves: Pok?mon Red and Blue (Red and Green, in Japan). In those games, when a player started their adventure, the player has a choice of one of three Pok?mon: Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle.

In the Pok?mon Adventures, Red chooses Bulbasaur as his rival Blue chooses Charmander. Some older concept art by Ken Sugimori depicted a third trainer who took the third Pok?mon, Squirtle, but this was never implemented in the games. In Pok?mon Adventures, Squirtle was taken by a third female character who would, in time, become Green. It may be that the female version of the main character in Pok?mon FireRed and LeafGreen was based on Green from Pok?mon Adventures, as Green is based on the concept art from the Red and Blue versions, and the gender feature was finally added.

It is interesting to note that she, Red, and Blue appeared in the original American Red and Blue pamphlets with their starter Pok?mon (she had her Squirtle, Red his Bulbasaur, and Blue his Charmander), but few knew who she was, and she had her back to the reader. Also, in the beginning of the first anime series, Pikachu runs between her legs (again, to the confusion of American viewers ? she was never seen in the anime and was not explained, causing many label her merely as a Lass).

Green becomes a playable character in Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green as the female counterpart to Red. In game magazines and Player Guides screenshots are shown of Red with the name Ash as refering to the anime's hero, while screenshots of Green are shown with the name "Mariah".
