But jokes aside, I always wondered who came first. The records on hunterpedia says that Pouf first appeared on volume 20 chapter 202, which came out on 4th June 2004. However, knowing the tankbon system, the chapter itself probably came out 3 months earlier, which is around the time when Wriggle first made her own debut in Imperishable Night demo. (Since Togashi does really long hiatus, I'm afraid that most people will accuse him of stealing the design). So I'm asking if anyone can verify who came first, or did both of them appeared at the same time (maybe Yoshihiro Togashi and Oota Jun'ya are really close drinking buddies). Please forgive me if the information given above are false.

tl;dr, who came out first?

Sounds reasonable. Let's go with that.
