A '''Bug Catcher''' (Japanese: '''むしとりしょうねん''' ''Bug Catcher Boy'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They are generally depicted as little boys in hats, carrying nets and what appears to be their lunchboxes, or containers to keep caught bugs in, held by a strap after [[Generation II]]. Most Bug Catchers have been considered just hobbyists. Some Bug Catchers move around areas, and don't always stay in the same place each day. Experienced Bug Catchers may become {{tc|Bug Maniac}}s. | A '''Bug Catcher''' (Japanese: '''むしとりしょうねん''' ''Bug Catcher Boy'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games.

They first appear in | Bug Catchers are usually one of the first Trainer classes encountered during the course of the games' storylines, mostly appearing on earlier [[route]]s. In [[Generation I]], Bug Catchers are the first Trainer class that the player encounters. They first appear in [[Viridian Forest]], while the last one is on {{rt|9|Kanto}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Bug Catchers appear again on the [[Sevii Islands]], in the [[Pattern Bush]]. In [[Generation II]], Bug Catchers appear on {{rt|30|Johto}}, but they are not the first Trainer class seen in the game, and are actually more uncommon in this Generation than any other in which they appear. In [[Generation III]], there are a few Bug Catchers, appearing between {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, through {{rt|119|Hoenn}}. The number of Bug Catchers in Generation III surpasses each other generation except the first. In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Bug Catchers don't appear until {{rt|204|Sinnoh}}, after the player defeats the first Gym Leader, which is unusually late in the game. There are only four Bug Catchers, most of them appearing in the [[Eterna Forest]]. There are no Bug Catchers in the [[Unova]] region. | ||
