It's always been anime canon that there are more than 8 gyms in a region, and you just need at least 8 badges to get in the league bracket.

There's a Boulder, Cascade and Rainbow Badge, the other seven are made up. What types or themes would those be related to?

The meanest thing he does is be extremely casual and his usual full of himself hype self inside fucking pokemon tower, and thats not even directed at the player. It is kind of insane though, they do a lot of tension building and the creepy music, let you walk up on him as he faces away from you, and when he turns around its just more YO BRO MY POKEMON ARE STRONG AF WANNA BATTLE, I'LL KICK YOUR ASS and its like... dude, come on. Read the room.

Blue was never mean to you, he gets conflated with Gary

In game blue is a friendly rival, he treats you like a competitive 10 year old friend would with some light ribbing but also encourages you and helps you out along the way

A true rival, not a bully or an enemy like Gary was

Ash follows the general path of the games and battles the gyms the games have, but the anime always implied there's way more gyms at the towns and cities that Ash doesn't visit, so rivals are free to go get those to fill out their badge cases offscreen.

Pic related is Barry's badges. He's got the Forest Badge, Mine Badge, Coal Badge, Beacon Badge, and Relic Badge, but then three other unknown ones. If I had to guess, they're from a Flying gym, a Fire gym, and a Poison gym.

I think another factor is that gameplay-wise he's an asshole. He has a habit of showing up when you least expect it, lways one step ahead of you, and always has a gym leader tier team to slam you with and send you back to the center. Mix it with his light bants and bloated ego, with Gary's personality osmosis artificially amping up both those, and you have a perfect storm to make someone a total asshole when pure dialogue would imply just a snarky little kid.

I guess it'd make sense if there were more than 8 gyms. Imagine traveling around Washington State and there's literally only 8 fast food joints, or 8 coffee stands. Heck, 8 gas stations, knowing SV. You'd have to travel for miles.

Kinda reminds me of the lore of SwSh where there was something like 30 gyms and people were hoping the "open world" thing meant we'd go around beating 8 gyms in any order and have the option to beat them all, heh.
