UFO Catcher (UFOキャッチャー) is a genericized trademark adopted by buyers, collectors and sellers and used to describe any licensed character plush won in claw crane game machines. The original term is adopted from SEGA's trademark UFO Catcher game machines and derived from the UFO-looking claws used in those machines to catch plush and other prizes (such as figures). The term is applied to any prize won out of this type of machine regardless of its brand - Bandai, Banpresto, SEGA and Taito are very popular licensors. Banpresto is the most popular for Pokémon prize plush. -PKMNcollectors Wiki
