Gym Leader #16: Blue - Miscellaneous

Blue has six Pokemon; Exeggutor, Machamp, Arcanine, Rhydon, Gyarados & Pidgeot. If you get to the Viridian City Gym and you can't get in, you need to talk to Blue at Cinnabar Island first. Blue's Gym is a push-plate gym, you need to find the correct path to the top of the gym to battle Blue. It can be annoying at first but once you think about it, the path becomes easy to learn.
