Appearance / DesignEdit

Bugsy is an androgynous-looking boy with purple hair and eyes. In the original Gen II games and anime he wore a green camper's outfit (green collared shirt with green shorts suspended by a belt, brown dress shoes and white ankle socks). In Gen IV this is modified to look more like a boy scout outfit (his shirt now has different shades of green, he wears a neckerchief, and he wears yellow-striped knee socks instead).

TriviaEdit

• Bugsy's name is a play on the word BUG, since he is a Bug-type Pokémon Trainer.
• Bugsy is the first Gym Leader that specializes in Bug-type Pokémon.
• At first Bugsy appeared to be androgynous, until it was immediately revealed that he is a boy.
• In his HeartGold/SoulSilver artwork, he has pale skin, but in the anime and game sprites, he appears to have normal colored skin. This trait is shared with Pike Queen Lucy.
• In the Anime, Bugsy swapped his Kakuna from the games with a Spinarak.
• Bugsy in Gold/Silver all his pokemon are male but in Heartgold/Soulsilver are female making him more hard to say if he is a girl or a boy.
