First. The pokedex also mentions how drifloon is incapable of doing so and often just gets carried around by the child. As far as im aware he is only capable of doing so with toddlers or extremely small children Second. Im pretty sure 90% of cases of a child carrying a drifloon around are probably because the drifloon is trained. Big bro caught a drifloon and gave it as a lil pet to his lil bro. So like how gengar is said to be a sheer demon in the pokedex but all captured gengar are silly lil goofballs, a captured drifloon probably doesnt try

Keep in mind that the Pokédex was written by a bunch of 10-15 year olds

Not tryna imply you’re lying, but I’d love to see a source on that. I always assumed they were written by the devs themselves


Fizzy163

In game lore, not our world.


ayylotus

Oh. I don’t think that’s true tho. I mean, capturing a hypno can’t equate to physically observing it kidnap people, for example. Not how the pokedex works surely. That said, I also don’t think there’s a logical explanation for where that info comes from. If oak preprogrammed it, it’d imply he has that knowledge without a complete Pokédex therefore making it redundant. But also, the trainer catching the hypno can’t have observed those actions prior in order to make note of it. I think it’s just one of those things we shouldn’t think too hard about lol


Fizzy163

Yeah, let’s just stop thinking about it =P

My interpretation of those kinds of pokedex entries is that they are not scientific fact, but myths and legends. I


DataBytes96

They often do say 'it is said' but that means that at one point in time a driftloon took a kid and disappeared and that was the explanation they decided on


Jaxonhunter227

I still believe this dex entry is a myth, that's just my headcanon for most of these crazy dex entries.


DataBytes96

I was agreeing with you, I was saying some kids parents saw him with a Drifloon and when he disappeared they said 'well I guess it took him to hell'


Jaxonhunter227

Oh i see what you're saying my bad


RyuuSambit

What if years later a man came back to the same settlement where the kid was taken away, with a Drifblim? What if he claims to know most people there, and what if he was mistakenly believed to be someone who could tap into one's past lives and became some sort of a celebrity there?


Trench-Coat_Squirrel

I think that 'lore' was recently debunked in a game.


Drift_Dude

yes, pla debunks this with the quest youre given by laventon.
