A Youngster (Japanese, Generations I–III: たんぱんこぞう Shorts Youngster, IV: たんパンこぞう Shorts Youngster—note the use of katakana) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They are depicted as average young boys wearing caps, and are obsessed with short pants.

They use a variety of Pokémon, but they tend towards common ones that are caught early in their respective games. In Black and White, they usually use Bug-type Pokémon, and some will give out Ultra Balls when defeated.

Youngsters appear to be the male counterparts of Lasses.

In Pokémon Stadium, they were referred to as Lads.
