With Pokémon Scarlet and Violet now about as comprehensively spoiled as a recreation might be previous to launch, particularly after yesterday’s 22-and-a-half hour livestreaming of the sport, individuals are beginning to dive into a few of the nitty gritty spoilers you could not suppose to ask about previous to launch. Most of those, we’re avoiding listening to ourselves, not to mention telling you, however one is simply too good to overlook.
Through GamesRadar, Dunsparce, the Gen 2 Pokémon from 1999, is lastly getting its first evolution. And it’s a ravishing piece of trolling, from the seems to be of it.
Principally as a result of the joke is—and bear with me, Dunsparce stans—fully innocent. At 23 years previous, Dunsparce has been certainly one of Pokémon’s most unloved monsters. The poor Regular-type “Land Snake Pokémon” is bland to take a look at, a type of squirmy bug-thing you that if you happen to noticed it in a pond you’d marvel if it wants cleansing. It has vestigial wings that enable it to barely float, as if mocking the beast with the always-denied risk of flight. It has eyes, however it could’t open them. The poor bastard factor simply lives its depressing life in Diglett tunnels, by no means evolving from nor into something. Till now!
Individuals of Earth, let me introduce you to: Dudunsparce!

That’s genuinely what it’s referred to as; they only added a ‘Du’ to the beginning of the identify. That naming alone already makes the monster sound like a jeer, like, duh. Nevertheless it will get means higher/worse than that. For those who’re questioning what’s really totally different right here, you then’ve caught on to what individuals are fixated on proper now. Dudunsparce is only a barely longer Dunsparce.
Significantly, at first look you received’t discover any distinction. Look once more and you’ll see it’s now made of 4 segments, slightly than two, and sports activities an additional pair of near-pointless wings on its backs. Oh, and has a 3rd spike on its non-mouth, and a blue cap on its drill tail.
It’s as in the event that they have been considering, “Individuals have been begging for Dunsparce to lastly get its Caterpie-like transformation for many years. Let’s…let’s fully break that for them.”
Granted, it’s doable they by no means supposed for this to be a troll in any respect. Barely incremental evolutions aren’t remarkable, however there’s a motive individuals have been anticipating one thing extra right here. Weedle metamorphoses into Beedrill. Larvitar will get to evolve into Tyranitar. Magikarp will get to grow to be the almighty Gyrados. However Dunsparce? It will get Dudunsparce. It’s the identical however just a bit bit extra of it. And let’s be trustworthy, one of the best it may ever hope for is Dududunsparce.
