Cute little Jumpluff! For years, the Pokémon video games described this second-stage creature with lightness, mentioning the way it enjoys drifting on the breeze, scattering its spores. It hasn’t appeared since Solar and Moon, however good gravy, one thing occurred within the meantime.
Let’s begin with Violet’s description, given it’s solely a bit upsetting:
Beware its cotton spores. In the event you unintentionally breathe them in, you’ll be racked with coughs and itchiness.
Earlier than we get to Scarlet’s Pokédex entry, I need to re-emphasise the just about an identical textual content that has been utilized in earlier era’s dexes. Typical is X’s:
Blown by seasonal winds, it circles the globe, scattering cotton spores because it goes.
And now right here’s Scarlet’s:
Jumpluff travels on seasonal winds. As soon as its cotton spores run out, its journey ends, as does its life.
What the hell, Scarlet writers? Are you OK? Blink twice when you want some assist.
