A Youngster (Japanese, Generations I/II (katakana): たんパンこぞう; Generations III-V (hiragana): たんぱんこぞう; translation: Shorts Youngster) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They are depicted as average young boys wearing caps, and 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, a significant amount of Youngsters specialize in Bug-type Pokémon, likely due to the absence of Bug Catchers in the Unova region. 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.
