It's interesting. I've played a few games like that, but most can't seem to pull it off (F3AR is a good example of this; trying to play as Paxton Fettel alone breaks every single thing which makes the character interesting in the Point Man's game, such as his selective invisibility, which only seems to apply to the people not trying to kill you).

Probably the best example I can think of is Call of Duty: Black Ops; if you've not played the game, I won't ruin it for you, but the ending is a real mind screw, which only gets worse in the sequel, which heavily implies a character specifically stated to be dead saved your life. Add to that the little military phonetic codes at the beginning of each mission spell out "CHARACTER NAME is dead...or is he dead? There was no body. Is he who he says he is?" and we're headed firmly into mind screw territory.

What's odd is most canon versions of Blue have him as the boy who's got his act together, while Red's kind of a keet.

In the games, Blue becomes the final Gym Leader for Kanto.

In the manga, he's able to go toe-to-toe with several Elite Four, gains Koga's respect (which is in and of itself a big deal because Koga's a villain until then), and his exhibition battle at the end is the one everyone is the most excited about.

In the anime he's his grandpa's lab assistant, a far more competent battler than Ash, and generally manages to accomplish his goals, unlike Ash, who can't quite seem to carry through.
