:::Irrelevant. Balloon aspect is not in the name itself. | |||
And as for igglybuff and Jigglypuff, there is literally nothing in either pupurin or purin to andicate anything even remotely like fuusen or fukureru. | :::fuusen + purin = pukurin? Makes no sense. There is no ku in fuusen in any pronunciation of the kanji. | ||
Purin is a commonly used abbreviation for pudding. There is no need to conjecture further much like lizaado is simply lizard and sando is simply sand. | |||
There is also no merit in injecting fuusen and fukureru into pupurin when you have pupu as a much more likely candidate. And again it even has a connection to the balloon family name by way of meaning the sound of something inflating or poof. | :::fukureru + purin = pukurin? Closer, but doesn't pan out. If it was so then it would have been Fukurin. No reason to change it to pu from fu other than to cause confusion. | ||

:::pukupuku + purin = pukurin? There's your most likely origin. pukupuku means to puff up. it combines the name of Jigglypuff and satisfies the idea of this being a more advanced form and even incorporates the balloon aspect. | |||
:::Do you have a better argument for the other two? | |||
