What happened with Jigglypuff?

[Appletree]

I'm just curious actually what you think: What happened to the stalking Jigglypuff? Will it ever appear again?

(The last time I saw it was in the Advanced series)

What do you think?

I think it is caught or it will appear at the Pokémon Musicals in Pokémon Best Wishes.

 

[Cybersai]

It last appeared in early Hoenn, the trick house episode with Whismur. Since then it never appeared again.

 

[Karamazov]

Maybe the writers felt that the gag wasn't enjoyable anymore?

 

[CrackFox]

Seems it got written off in Hoenn. Shame, I missed it.

 

[TPrower]

Maybe after that Hoenn episode, it evolved into a Wigglytuff, and it's singing was never really the same again. XD

 

[SolgaleoGX]

The gag could've still work, if it appeared every 30 or episodes. It's sad it got dropped of the face of the earth.

 

[Virtual-Z]

If they brought it back now, most viewers probably wouldn't understand.

 

[Musashi]

I think it is caught or it will appear at the Pokémon Musicals in Pokémon Best Wishes.

Best Wishes is trying to avoid past characters as best it can. I think there is zero chance we'll ever seeing it again.

To be honest, I don't really mind either. I know most people disagree, but I think it got a good enough send off, and there really isn't much more the writers can do with such a one note (no pun intended) gag character anyway.

Then he could dress in black and wear guyliner. That's what everyone else does when no one understands them

Then it would fit the theme of Black and White!

 

[Akaiyou]

It was put on a bus back to Kanto.

 

[Abaddon]

Maybe it finally found someone that can listen to its song in full.

Mankey with Vital Spirit. Or, maybe a soundproof ability Pokemon.

 

[Eitarou]

It did. The Whismur with Soundproof.

 

[Abaddon]

Good. Then the writers realized that it had nothing further to give to the show.

I wish they'd learn that with Team Rocket.

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

Ah I miss Jiggly! It always made my day to see her sing her song and get pissed off over everyone falling asleep.

 

[chimera]

I have no idea what happened to Jigglypuff.
Wait.
Harley has a Wigglytuff...

 

[garrison-san]

It probably got eaten by an Exploud.

 

[Karamazov]

It probably got eaten by an Exploud.

I wonder how that would have come to pass?

 

[garrison-san]

I wonder how that would have come to pass?

I have visions of an Exploud (Soundproof ability et al) happening upon Jigglypuff while it was singing and going, "Mmm, lunch."

In all seriousness, Puff was probably dropped because the writers felt that its shtick was wearing a bit thin. It had a good long run, at least.

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

Actually I know what happened to Jiggly...Her shield broke
