Quoted By:
Druddigon actually comes from the word drudgery. After a long 12 hour day of overtime and drudge work, GF really ran out of design ideas. Their brains were practically searing in their skulls like eggs in a frying pan. They were totally lost. But they had one last spot to fill in the Pokédex for the new games. Then they used a piece of paper and crumpled it. It turned out to look like a dragon, Druddigon to be exact. They took the "design" and asked NoA to give it a name. Drudgery + Dragon = Druddigon. Perfect. The awful redhead dragon was born.
