A Sage (Japanese: ぼうず Monk) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation II games. They appear to be Buddhist monks who are mostly only found in Johto's Sprout Tower, Ecruteak Gym, and Bell Tower.
They generally use Bellsprout and Hoothoot. The ones in Ecruteak Gym use Gastly and Haunter.
In Generation II games their sprites were edited outside of Japan and Korea, presumably due to Nintendo's policy (at the time) of removing all religious references in games. This happened again in Generation IV, only in the Korean version, removing the prayer beads and slightly recoloring their robes from black to gray (to reflect Korea's own Buddhist traditions) Also, their title is changed from Monk to Ascetic (수행자). The edit is not present in American and European versions.
Older members of Sage class are called Elders. This has become a separate Trainer class in Generation IV.
