Isn't it weird how Jigglypuff was shilled a lot back in gen 1 as the Pikachu for girls? It's not even that important in Pokemon Red and Blue, not a single named npc uses one, you can easily miss it, Clefairy a few steps north is a direct upgrade and yet it got a recurring appearance in the anime, got into fucking smash (pretty underserved)

Eevee in contrast has actually become the "Pikachu for girls" without any first installment weridness shilling necessary, just by pure merit of its design.
>>
You hear that Jigglypuff? Anon says you didn't deserve to be in Smash.
>>
not wierd at all.
>>
puff is much cuter and has more personality (from the anime) than pika or eevee.

All /vp/ posters are ESL.
Surely you didn't expect this one to be different just because she's spamming /vr/ instead.
>>
jigglypuff made it into smash because she is basically the same model as kirby so it was quick and easy to add her into 64 and now has legacy status.
>>
>>12253120
What's even more weird is that they were trying to push Clefairy as a mascot mon before that.

Jigglypuff is just very well-liked, obviously she deserved to be in Smash over literally any other mon that's not Pikachu or a starter.

He was based though.
Also, IIRC, Jigglypuff came out 2nd place as the most popular Pokemon after Pikachu on an official japanese poll by Game Freak, could be wrong though

there's an npc jigglypuff in one of the pokecenters and it sings if you talk to it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Husue4IRTG8&list=RDHusue4IRTG8
With the npc dude next to it saying: "Yawn! When JIGGLYPUFF sings, POKEMON get drowsy... ...Me too...
Snore..."

And yes it's in red and blue/green, its not a yellow exclusive thing based on the anime, it's the anime that based the iconic "jigglypuff song" on this

That makes it have a more relevant role on the original game than pikachu

But yeah the "jigglypuff shilling" stems from the character's popularity in the anime.
>>
>>12253529
>Clefairy sprite
Kinda ironic in retrospect.
>>
>>12253120
Anime marketing is exactly why Jigglypuff got so much attention, just as Meowth did.

It's cute and they came up with a way to humanize one of them in the anime (as in, it interacts with human characters in a way that is more human than the usual Pokémon, which generay interact with people as an animal would)
>>
Kirby is very appealing, and Jiggly Puff is basically derived from the same style. They wanted the Kawaii enjoyers.
>>
>>12253120
I want to fuck them

My only question is would Pokemon Pink have featured Jigglypuff?
>>
>>12254217
The only syllables they'll be making is with my cock in their mouth

Clefairy actually.
Don't think there was any plan to make Jigglypuff into a major character until the anime.
>>
>>12254765
Then why is it in the intro?
>>
>>12255087
Pokemon purple with Gengar confirmed
>>
>>12255087
Same reason Gengar is yeah
>>
>>12253120
I've never seen Jigglypuff as a "she".
>>
>No, dick it's Wigglytuff.
>>
>>12255087
Because the Japan version of Blue (which was Gen1's actual "third version") put it in the intro and the Red/Blue the US got is a mashup of all three Japan releases.

This never happened, everyone just thought Jigglypuff was gay.
>>
>>12255874
Puff was a celebrity as early as Smash 64, you are in denial
>>
>>12255875
Maybe for gay kids like you and your friends.
>>
>>12255882
In Japan, where people aren't retarded about liking cute things, in fact it's part of the culture.
