When I was younger I used to thing think that Blue was Ash Ketchum from the animated series. I mean... look at his hair!

In my case I never made the connection ash's supposed to be Red/the player character

To be fair I started RSE and was just disappointed the anime didn't had Brendan/Landon and thought Ash was kinda lame

Ash was one of the default player names in Red.

Would have been neat if they had swapped the player and rival sprites for Blue.

Did you know?
the name Ash is short for Ashley

Guys with female names are always the biggest badasses. Like some big cigar smoking musclebound sailor named Mary. Or at least they were, until parents started giving them those names because they wanted them to be actual women.

Cue: A Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash

It COULD be Ashton.

I mean if you start a fresh save Prof Oak tells you the rival his grandson
