>>54917704The public perception of Blue is normalfags making memes and comics about your Rival ambushing you out of nowhere because you only ever see him before you fight him maybe once, but he never fights you out of a cave. Normalfags mix their idea of Blue with anime's Gary, making him a giant asshole when the reality is that Blue in all his appearances is competitive, maybe, but never that rude, he even gives you plenty of useful advice. People cite Blue as an asshole rival but other characters like Gladion and even Cheren are just as competitive as he is, and even ambush you on top of that.
I say all this to say that you and all other idiot normalfags who barely play the game just have vague memories of Blue's actual character an actions, and shitty memes and poor recollection come together to make a character who's a turbo gigachad who beats the shit of your weakened team fresh out of a dungeon over and over.
It's arrogant as fuck to make up a bullshit Mandela effect thing instead of just admitting you don't remember Gen 1 very well, the same normalfags who hype up Kantooo also haven't played the games in decades, if at all, so that makes sense, but you should be embarrassed posting this on /vp/.
