Trivia
- Drifloon is the first Generation IV Pokémon to be shown in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
- In the Japanese version of Pearl's Pokédex entry, Drifloon specifically take children to the "world of the dead" (Japanese: あのよ), instead of just trying to "steal them away" as in the English version. This was likely changed to comply with Nintendo's usual "kid-friendly" policy. However, in the US release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the description provided along with Drifloon's trophy still states taking children to the underworld.
- Drifloon shares the same species name with Jigglypuff's evolutionary family and Qwilfish. They are all known as Balloon Pokémon.
Origin
Drifloon are based on balloons.
Name origin
Drifloon's name is a combination of "drift" and "balloon". Its Japanese name, Fuwante, may be derived from ふわふわ fuwa fuwa, meaning soft, fluffy, and light, or an onomatopoeia for floating, and 風船 fūsen, balloon. Its German name, Driftlon, comes from Drift and Ballon. Its French name, Baudrive, comes from baudruche and dérive. Its Korean name, 흔들풍선, comes from words 'drift, shake' (흔들다, heundeul-da ['da' is a suffix for verbs, with no real meaning]) and 'balloon' (풍선, poongsun)
