Designing For is a series which looks at one specific level, character, or idea in gaming and breaks down the central theme to that element to figure out what it's, well, designing for! In this episode, we look back at the original journey to be the very best, and the rival that accosted players every step of the way! What simple actions Pokemon Trainer Blue does to remain an incredibly memorable character, how he reflects the themes of Pokemon, and how he ended up growing past his initial trappings into a character we still cherish today!
