Green (Japanese: ブルー Blue) is a character introduced in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
While Green shares many similarities with Leaf, it has not been officially confirmed whether Green is the same person as Leaf under a different depiction or a cross-canon counterpart.
In the core series games
Green appears in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. She is first mentioned by Trace after the player has become Champion as a girl looking to catch a powerful Pokémon spotted in Cerulean Cave. After the player has caught Mewtwo in Cerulean Cave and exited the cave, Trace will appear again and mention how the girl looking for Mewtwo had entered the cave earlier. Green can then indeed be found inside Cerulean Cave, at the same spot where Mewtwo was located earlier. When first interacted with, she will toss a Poké Ball at the player, having mistaken them for a Pokémon. Upon learning that the player managed to catch Mewtwo before her, she immediately challenges them to a battle. After being defeated, she will hand the player both of Mewtwo's Mega Stones: Mewtwonite X and Mewtwonite Y. She will then ask the player to become one of her Pokémon, along with Mewtwo, and throws several Poké Balls at them, attempting to catch them like a Pokémon. After failing in doing so, she runs away, asking the player to consider her offer.
Green can later be re-encountered in Cerulean City, where she will challenge the player to a rematch. After being defeated again, she once again tries to catch the player in a Poké Ball, but fails once again, and runs off once more, swearing to not give up on trying to get the player and Mewtwo for herself. This rematch can be repeated every time the player defeats the Pokémon League.
Pokémon
Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!
The first battle against Green takes place in Cerulean Cave after the player has caught Mewtwo and met up with Trace outside the cave. Battles from the second battle onward take place in Cerulean City after Green has been defeated in Cerulean Cave. She respawns every time the player defeats the Pokémon League, and uses the same set of Pokémon in both locations. She will Mega Evolve her Blastoise at the first opportunity.

In the spin-off games
Pokémon UNITE
Green and her Blastoise appear in Pokémon UNITE as an enemy Trainer to fight during the Legacy Trainer Showdown event between September 9, 2022 and October 6, 2022. The battle takes place on Theia Sky Ruins. Her Blastoise starts the battle as Squirtle, which can evolve to Wartortle and then Blastoise during the battle. The other members of her team are Cynthia, Korrina, Raihan, and Leon. The event later returned between April 21, 2023 and May 21, 2023.
Green and her Blastoise also appear as an enemy Trainer in the recurring Solo Challenge event. This event has Casual, Intermediate, Expert, and Extreme difficulties, and her team changes depending on the event and the difficulty. The full team consists of herself, Cynthia, Raihan, Leon, and Korrina. In Cynthia themed events, Green and the other non-Cynthia members do not appear in the Casual difficulty, being replaced by Ace Trainers. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Green and Leon are replaced by Ace Trainers. In Leon themed events, Green and the other non-Leon members do not appear in the Casual difficulty, being replaced by Ace Trainers. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Green and Cynthia are replaced by Ace Trainers. In this mode, Green and her Blastoise never use Holowear.
Unlike other Trainers in UNITE, Green and the non-Ace Trainer members of her team are represented with two-dimensional artwork instead of three-dimensional models. In the pre-battle splash screen, Green has a custom Unite Snapshot depicting her and her Blastoise with two dimensional artwork. (The normal display of the Unite License/Holowear is not used.) This means her Battle Item is not shown. However, she uses Eject Button.

Pokémon Evolutions
Green appeared in The Discovery, where she was on trail to find and catch Mewtwo. After making her way across Nugget Bridge, she entered Cerulean Cave, where she found out that Trace was looking for it too. When Trace's Pidgeot was hurt by a swarm of Zubat and Golbat, Green could continue to the end of the cave on her own. There, however, she was dismayed to learn that Elaine had managed to catch Mewtwo first. Upset by this, she challenged her to a battle, but wound up being defeated. She then handed Elaine Mewtwo's Mega Stones and jokingly (unlike her game counterpart, who was serious) suggested that she should consider becoming one of her Pokémon, along with Mewtwo.
Later, she met up with Professor Oak in Pallet Town, apologizing to him that she had been unable to complete the Pokédex. Professor Oak, however, told her not to worry, as other Pallet Town Trainers had also been working on the same project, which was now complete. Just as Professor Oak received word from a colleague of his about a brand-new species of Pokémon, Green departed the laboratory with Elaine and Trace.

Trivia
- An artwork of an unnamed female character drawn by Ken Sugimori was released in Pokémon Red and Green's official strategy guide, released in April 1996.[3] This artwork also appears on the cover a revised version of the guidebook that includes the Japanese Pokémon Blue as well.[4]
- According to Sugimori, she was not originally planned as a player character. He wanted to portray a trio of Trainers facing off against each other, hence designed the female character for the cover.[5]
- The female character was later adapted for the Pokémon Craft DX magazine drawn by Emiko Yoshino, as well as Green in Pokémon Adventures (released 11 months after the original artwork), Leaf in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen (eight years after the original artwork), and Green in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! (22 years after the original artwork).
- Sugimori noted that he took the unnamed female character into consideration when he was designing the female protagonist for FireRed and LeafGreen. He also mentioned that the FireRed and LeafGreen female protagonist did not have a name at the time of his writing, in November 2012.[6]
- The French version for Green's Exploration mistakenly refers to the character as Leaf instead of Green. This causes an inconsistency in her appearance in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, where she is still referred to as Green in the French version of the game.
