A talented Eeveelutions Pokémon Hasn't Used Yet (But Should)A hilarious Pokémon Master EX meme illustrated by Twitter 7Repose sees Ash, Red and Blue recreate the Distracted Boyfriend meme. Blue is a cocky rival introduced in the original Pokémon Red and Blue who set an example for many subsequent rivals to follow. However, in 7Repose's meme Blue is distracted by Ash Ketchum and his loyal Pikachu, leaving Red very unamused. The meme serves as a reference to the fact that Ash is the most beloved protagonist of the Pokémon series, despite the fact that Red came first and was a primary inspiration for Ash.

Blue Finds A New Rival In Pokémon Masters Meme

Ash's addition to Pokémon Masters EX allows fans to compare Ash Ketchum and Red, particularly how each pairs up with their respective Pikachu companions. Both Ash and Red have Pikachu as a sync pair, but the two electric mice have different stats. Red's Pikachu has noticeably higher stats than Ash's in most categories, though Ash's pocket monster has higher health and a stronger Special Attack. Ash's Pikachu also possesses a unique skill which lets it resist two otherwise fatal attacks, reflecting its unshakable determination. Given their unique strengths and weaknesses, the only way to determine which Pikachu is stronger would be a battle between Ash and Red.

Pokémon Masters EX represents Ash Ketchum's first foray into the world of gaming, and 7Repose's amazing meme imagines the logical result of that crossover. Red and Blue were once bitter rivals, but Blue would no doubt be drawn to a new competition with Ash and his iconic Pikachu. The fan art was inspired by the Pokémon Masters EX anniversary event, which brought Ash and Red together for a potential clash.
