Poor Rival, better known as the "Rival's/Blue's/Gary's Raticate Theory" or just "Raticate Theory", is a well-known theory story surrounding Pokémon Red and Blue.In the games, the rival Blue Oak has a Ratatta and later a Raticate in his first few battles. Later on, the Raticate no longer appears in his team. What happened? Well, this theory theorizes that Red accidentally killed Blue's Raticate.Blue's Pokémon received serious injuries in a battle with Red on the S.S. Anne, but Blue was unable to reach a Pokémon Center in time. After that, Blue concentrated his best on being a serious trainer and becoming the Pokémon League champion. However, this dream was crushed when Red defeated Blue and became the champion himself.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The theory is rarely taken seriously, but it is popular in dark fan-works and Nuzlocke runs.

Always Someone Better: Red is this to Blue. He always one-ups Blue. In the end, Blue's own grandfather scolds Blue while praising Red.

Beneath the Mask: Blue hides his grief behind his attitude. He also secretly resents Red for killing his Pokémon.

Coming-of-Age Story: While Blue leans towards a story of Innocence Lost, Red's part in the story leans towards this.
