These are Bugsy's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

  • Before battle
"I'm Bugsy! I never lose when it comes to bug Pokémon. My research is going to make me the authority on bug Pokémon! Let me demonstrate what I've learned from my studies."
  • Being defeated
"Whoa, amazing! You're an expert on Pokémon! My research isn't complete yet. OK, you win. Take this Badge."
  • After being defeated
"Do you know the benefits of the HiveBadge? If you have it, Pokémon up to L30 will obey you. sc>Pok</sc>émon that know Cut will be able to use it outside of battle too. Here, I also want you to have this."
"TM49 contains Fury Cutter. If you don't miss, it gets stronger every turn. The longer your battle goes, the better it gets. Isn't that great? I discovered it!"
"Bug Pokémon are deep. There are many mysteries to be explored. Study your favorites thoroughly."

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

Azalea Gym

  •  Before battle
"I'm Bugsy! I never lose when it comes to Bug-type Pokémon. My research is going to make me an authority on Bug-type Pokémon! Let me demonstrate what I've learned from my studies."

  • After being defeated
"You must have studied a lot about Pokémon! "

National Park

"Hi, <player>! We have a Bug-Catching Contest tomorrow! I have won the Contest many times, so I won't participate. But you should try it. I'm sure you can win!"
  • On Fridays
"By the way, will you take a picture with me?"
Yes: "OK! Let's take one. Smile! Yay! This is a good one!"
No: "Oh, I see... That's OK. I'm not sad."

Pokégear registering (Viridian Forest)

"I came to Kanto to look for Bug-type Pokémon, so I can become a stronger Bug-type Pokémon Trainer! Hey why don't we swap phone numbers?"
Yes: "We can battle around lunch on Thursdays! Give me a call!"
No: "Oh, well... That's OK..."
"Will you give me your phone number?"

Pokégear Phone

  • Calling the player
"Yeah, this is Bugsy... What's up? I think I've already mentioned this to you, but did you know I'm doing research on Bug-type Pokémon? There's so many different kinds, it's a bit difficult, you know? I'm just studying Bug-type Pokémon, and yet it's still this difficult. People like Professor Elm and Professor Oak who study all the different types of Pokémon are really something else, you know?"
"Yeah, this is Bugsy... What's up? You know, everyone's really into Bug-type Pokémon when they're kids. But then for some reason, as people grow up, at some point they all start to like Bug-type Pokémon less and less. How about you? Do you still like Bug-type Pokémon? Even if I grow up I'll never stop liking Bug-type Pokémon, no way!"
"Yeah, this is Bugsy... What's up? My Gym has such a different trick to it, doesn't it? It may seem like it was really difficult to get a trick like that set up... But the truth is, it was actually pretty easy. First we ran the ropes through the Gym, then all the Pokémon helped us finish everything else up!"
  • Calling him
"Hello! How are you? I'm doing great as usual! There are so many stronger Gym Leaders than me out there. You're trying to visit every Gym around the region, aren't you? That's great! Keep up the good work!"
"Hello! How are you? I'm doing great as usual! On Thursdays around noon, I'm usually free. If you want to see my Bug-type Pokémon again, you should call me then!"
  • On Thursday afternoons:
"Hello! How are you? I'm doing great as usual! Oh, you called at just the right time! I'm not doing anything right now. Wanna battle again?"
No: "I see... Well, there's no helping that..."
Yes: "All right! See you at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City!"
"Hello! How are you? I'm doing great as usual! All right, I'll be waiting for you at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City! Race you there!"

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

  • Before battle (final round)
"I never lose when it comes to Bug-type Pokémon. Let me demonstrate what I've learned from my studies."
  • Being defeated
"Aw, that's the end of it..."
  • If the player is defeated
"I guess I'm done reporting my research findings!"
  • After being defeated
"Whoa, amazing! You're an expert on Pokémon! My research isn't complete yet."
  • After winning
"Thanks! Thanks to our battle, I was also able to make progress in my research!"
  • In the lobby, after the tournament
"I never lose when it comes to Bug-type Pokémon. I'm so embarrassed to have said that. I'll start my studies of other Pokémon over from the beginning, too. I'm truly grateful that you made me realize I need to do that."

In the side series

"I'll start with <Pokémon>!"
  • Sending out a new Pokémon
"Now it's <Pokémon>!"
"Next! <Pokémon>!"

"<Pokémon>, wrap it up!"
"It's useless! Get back!"
"Well done, <Pokémon>!"
"Good! Come back!"
"Okay! Come back, <Pokémon>!"
  • Own Pokémon faints
"Why?!? This can't be happening!"
"Arrrgh! Nailed!"
  • Player's Pokémon faints
"That's the way! Good going!"
"There! Hit the weak spot! That's it!"
  • Player's Pokémon lands a critical hit
"What! You hit its weak spot?"
"Yes! It worked!"
"Yeah! That was good!"
"...groan..."
"Heracross! Megaphone!"
  • If the player is defeated
"What do you think of that?"
  • After being defeated
"I need to do some more research."
"I give up! You're tough."
"I was just unlucky."
  • After winning
"My research is correct!"
"See? Aren't bug Pokémon tough?"
"Things just didn't go your way, did they?"

"Um, e-excuse me... Viola? How much longer are you going to be taking our pictures?"
"But the PML tournament matches are starting soon! I still have a long of training to do..."
"Exactly! I've studied Bug-type Pokémon more than anyone else. When we fight, it's majestic!"
"A lot of people are afraid of them because of the way they look, but I'm gonna show those people how awesome Bug-Type Pokémon really are!"
"I was just thinking...I dream of being a Bug-type Pokémon Professor one day...and you're a photographer."
"We're both Gym Leaders, but we're about as different as two people can get, huh?"
"Huh?"
"OK!"
"Viola! You shouldn't take people's photos like that without asking their permission!"
"Sorry about that, <player>. Sometimes Viola gets excited and starts snapping photos without really thinking..."
"Hey...Viola? After the match is over, can you do me a little favor?"
"I was wondering if we could take a victory photo with Beedrill and Surskit! Pleeease?"
  • Bug Experts: Part 2
"We lost... But... for some reason, I don't feel all that bad about it."
"Hey, Viola... Can I ask you a favor?"
"I'd love something to remember this battle by... Do you think you could take a photo of me and <player>? Pleeease?"
"You're probably right. I'm really glad we got to battle each other today!"
"You made me want to learn even more about Bug-type Pokémon!"
"That sort of got me thinking, actually! There are tons of other Trainers here on Pasio that use Bug-type Pokémon like me..."
"Now is the perfect time to go out and find them all. It's my chance to study how they battle with their Pokémon!"
"I guess so. But I hope we get to team up together again someday!"
"I...I'm not crying!"
Story Event - Team Skull Crash Course
  • I Spy Golisopod
"Whoa! A Golisopod!"
"Amazing! I've never seen one of you up close—you're so cool!"
"Seems like you're normally pretty quiet, huh? Just like I've heard!"
"These sharp claws of yours are just amazing!"
"Whoa! S-sorry! I just love Bug-type Pokémon."
"Your Pokémon is the greatest! He's so cool!"
"But he's so quiet and calm when he's not on the attack, isn't he?"
"My Beedrill's the same way. You'd never know what a Pokémon's really like if you just judge it by its appearance, do you?"
"Your Golisopod is everything I hoped for! Mind if I keep on looking?"
Story Event - Family Ties
  • Beast or Beauty?
"Whoa! Is that what I think it is?!"
"A Pheromosa! Wow! This is amazing! It's so beautiful!"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Bugsy
"Whoa, whoa! Beedrill, stop!"
"Oh, it's you, <player>. Sorry if my Beedrill scared you just now!"
"I think your shadow actually scared him when you walked up, so he was trying to zoom away."
"Either way, he owes you an apology. Beedrill, apologize to <player>."
"He didn't mean any harm—I promise. I hope you'll forgive him."
"Beedrill are known to be a little aggressive at times..."
"Do you think they're scary?"
Yeah...: "Aw, I was afraid you'd say that."
No, I'm not afraid of them!: "Really? Oh, thank goodness!"
"So many people have a fear of Bug-type Pokémon, you know?"
"Before Beedrill evolved to look like this, we never really had any issues, but with the way he looks now..."
Did something happen?: "Yeah. Pretty recently, actually... It made me feel really sad."
Cheer up!: "Thanks. But actually, something happened recently that made me really sad..."
"It happened in a region I was exploring before I came to Pasio."
"When Beedrill was still just a Weedle, there were these kids that would come and play with him all the time. They loved him."
"When he evolved into Kakuna, the kids stopped coming to play. Kakuna don't move around at all, so maybe they lost interest..."
"And then he evolved into Beedrill. I thought they'd be excited to play with him again, so I brought him over...but the kids got scared and cried."
"He's still the same Pokémon that he was as a Weedle and Kakuna—he just looks different. It's strange how people can forget that."
That makes me sad.: "Yeah, it is sad. But I'm not giving up anytime soon! That's the whole reason I came here to compete in the PML!"
We can't do anything about that.: "I disagree! And I don't plan on giving up anytime soon! That's the whole reason I came here to compete in the PML!"
"I want to use the PML to show the world how awesome and powerful Bug-type Pokémon are! I bet they'll be super popular by the end!"
"In order to make that happen, Beedrill and I are going to have to defeat a whole lot of other Pokémon! And we will! Just watch!"
That's the spirit!: "Yeah! I mean, everybody loves a strong Pokémon, right?"
Do you think that'll work?: "What do you mean? Strong Pokémon are always really popular, aren't they?"
"Wait a sec... That doesn't make sense..."
"If Beedrill is already so strong and powerful that people are scared of him, then why isn't he more popular?"
It's not all about being strong.: "Y-you think so? Hmm...maybe you're right."
you have to show off some other good qualities, too.: "Well Bug-type Pokémon have a ton of good qualities! I should know that better than anyone else."
"Take Weedle, for example. It may look cute on the outside, but on the inside, it's super tough!"
"Kakuna still has Weedle's toughness, plus it gets a hard, protective shell on top of that!"
"Then its appearance really shifts when it evolves into Beedrill and gets super-strong poisonous stingers!"
"At their core, they're all the same Pokémon, but the qualities that makes them awesome change from Evolution to Evolution!"
"Kind of mysterious, right? That's what makes Bug-type Pokémon so interesting to me!"
You sound like a Bug-type Pokémon Professor!: "Hehe, I DO know a lot about Bug-type Pokémon."
You sound like an encyclopedia!: "D'aww, you're making me blush."
"You're right. I know a all there is to know about Bug-type Pokémon, so there are probably things about them that only I can teach to others."
"I should really thank you! I don't know if I would have been able to realize that all on my own!"
"Well, first things first..."
"I think I can start by teaching people that Beedrill only attack with their poisonous stingers if they're attacked first..."
Sync Pair Story - Surskit's Evolution
  • Before battle
"Ummm, Viola? I want you to take on my Beedrill in a battle!"
"OK! I'll show you how all my research here on Pasio has paid off!"
"I'll be carefully observing the power of your Bug-type Pokémon!"
  • After being defeated
"Whoa, your Surskit is amazing! And I thought my Beedrill had been doing really well..."
"Wait! Your Surskit looks like it's about to evolve!"
Pokémon Center
  • Random conversation
"A lot of people think Bug-type Pokémon, like Weedle and Kakuna, are creepy."
"They don't understand how awesome and cute Bug-type Pokémon really are!"
"When they evolve, sometimes they look completely different than they did before! It never gets old!"
  • If spoken to again
"They can go from a superhardened chrysalis to sprouting big, beautiful wings!"
"Don't you find that super mysterious?! Oh boy, I'd love to expand my circle of Bug-type Pokémon enthusiasts!"
  • Random conversation
"When I go to the library, I can never reach the books on the upper shelves, no matter how far I stretch."
"I wish I could use String Shot! I could grab a book from up high and pull it right into my hand!"
"You know what would be even cooler? If I had beautiful wings to fly with, like my Bug-type Pokémon..."
"I wish I could evolve, like Metapod or Kakuna."
  • If spoken to again
"Maybe, when I grow up, I'll completely change my shape, too--just like a chrysalis!"
"I wish, I wish!"
  • Random conversation
"When I grow up, I wanna be just like the world-famous Pokémon professor, Professor Oak!"
"I wanna be super knowledgeable about ALL Pokémon, not just Bug-type Pokémon!"
"Oh boy! If I could do research alongside Professor Oak someday, that would be a dream come true."
"That's why I've gotta study, study, study so I can make that happen one day!"
  • If spoken to again
"I'll be rooting for your dreams to come true, too! Let's work hard together!"
"It's better to have a goal in sight than to run around recklessly. At least, that's what I think."
  • Random conversation
"When I was back in Johto, one of the Pokémon I focused my research on the most was Scyther."
"They zip around reeeally fast, so it was extremely hard to catch one."
"Then again, the challenge made me that much happier when I did manage to finally catch one!"
  • If spoken to again
"Most people tend to focus on its razor-sharp scythes..."
"but the way Scyther’s beautiful green color blends into the grass and trees is also pretty amazing, if you ask me."
  • Random conversation
"Do you think there's a Legendary Pokémon out there that's a Bug type?"
"If you ever hear any rumors about one, promise you'll tell me!"
"I'd search high and low all over the world if it meant I could meet a Legendary Bug-type Pokémon."
"A-and if I did, I'd be the most excited bug catcher in the whole wide world!"
  • If spoken to again
"If you're searching for a Pokémon, you should never give up! One will appear eventually--if you keep at it!"
"That's pretty much the story of my life!"
  • Random conversation
"If someone were to ask me why I love Bug-type Pokémon so much...I...I'm not sure how I'd answer that."
"They're beautiful, they're cool, they're tough! And, and..."
"and there are so many amazing things about them that I don't think I could list them all if I tried!"
  • If spoken to again
"Sometimes, it's hard to explain why you love something."
"That's why I want to show everyone, not just tell them, how awesome my Beedrill is! I want them all to see it!"
"When you see Beedrill's giant stingers and sharp, powerful attacks, it'll be love at first sight!"
  • Random conversation
"Whenever we have a conversation, I feel like I just babble nonstop about Bug-type Pokémon and nothing else."
"Are you good at listening? You’re so easy to talk to."
"I hope we can keep talking to each other like this—as friends! That would make me really happy!"
  • If spoken to again
"I really like you and I really like Bug-type Pokémon, so I always want to tell you all about them!"
"If you have anything that you really like, you can tell me all about it, too!"
  • Special log-in conversation (generic)

"Gee, look at the time! Sometimes I get so caught up in my research, I don’t realize how late it’s getting."
  • Special log-in conversation (evening)
"Wow, you’re out late tonight! Maybe I should put in a few extra hours of research myself!"
  • Special gift conversation
"I found something neat when I was out catching some bugs. Here, you can have it!"
"Don't worry about it! It's just a little token of thanks for all the things you do for me."
"Sometimes I catch more than just Bug-type Pokémon in my net..."
"like handy items and stuff! I'll be sure to share what I find with you!"
  • Special Sync-Pair Up event conversation
"Oh! Hi there, <player>! Perfect timing!"
"I know it's sudden, but would you have a Pokémon battle with me?"
"My partner Pokémon will be this Scyther! Just like Beedrill, he's one of my prized Bug-type Pokémon!"
"We were just practicing our teamwork as a sync pair, but it looks like he's interested in joining your team, too!""
"If we can show you a good battle, would you let us join your team?"
"You will battle us, won't you? It'd be great if you could!"
