A Youngster (Japanese: たんぱんこぞう Shorts Youngster in Generation I to III, たんパンこぞう Shorts Youngster in Generation IV onward) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in the Generation I games. They are depicted as average young boys wearing caps (except for Pokémon X and Y, where they sport hooded sweatshirts) and short pants.

They use a variety of Pokémon, but they tend to use common ones that are caught early in their respective games. In Unova and Kalos, a significant amount of Youngsters specialize in Bug-type Pokémon, likely due to the absence of the Bug Catcher class in those regions. Some will give out Ultra Balls when defeated. In the Battle Maison, they specialize in Bug-type and Normal-type Pokémon.

Youngsters appear to be the male counterparts of Lasses.

In Pokémon Stadium, they were referred to as Lads.
