OK, new idea (that one is coming to a dead end):
Maybe pooh black was the ghost of an assistant to the doctor/physician (not the bad guy)

Another thing about this boss is that it looks like a recycled sprite from the
Beta phase, as he looks almost like the Beta Balrog (Boss).

That's just my guess.

By the way, where do you find all these sprites? Is there a release of the beta game?

If there was a release, everyone here would be all over it.

I wish there was. But I found these sprites in
the Cave Story Tribute site, in the beta information section,
I just ripped the sprites from the screenshots.

Hm... That's actually a really good idea. Let's see: These robots (or whatever they are, I'll go with robots) are designed to help their friends/owners/whatever. Balrog helps Misery, Pooh Black probably helped Dr. Gero. When he died, his ghost stayed at the place he was at most of the time when he was still alive. After Quote defeated him, he somehow came back to Dr. Gero, as seen in the cutscene. Or maybe he wasn't a ghost after all...

The original cave story was going to have Balrog as the main villain. It's hinted in the OLD_DOUKUTSU_BGM at Pixel's website.

Prolly Pooh Black is an old guardian of the island?

Why would an old guardian terrorize the doctor's and nurse's old medical facility...?
And in the Labyrinth? Where all the 'garbage' of the Island is thrown away to?

It wasn't abandoned until he got there.

Lucky bastard. I lost to him once or twice just because that fucker kept hitting me with those fucking bubbles he always throws at you before he falls down. No, I don't like that boss, what gave you the idea?

...Yes. Yes, he is.

And after he haunted it into abandonment, why did he stick around?

I thought he was one of the stupidest, easiest bosses in the game >.>;
Those bubbles had never hurt me, and I thought they were just for looks XD

Maybe he's the third gender.

So Quote barged into Pooh's home, fought Pooh and made him disappear, and then stole from him....

No, the bright ones are real and hurt a lot (-5 is a lot, right?). The bad thing is that whether they hit you is random, and sometimes they just kept hitting me until death.
