Porygon- Pokemon or man-made creation?
Porygon is a rather interesting Pokemon... in the anime (in the banned episode) "Porygon the Electric Soldier" certainly doesn't treat Porygon as much of a living Pokemon at all. Being called "data" Pokemon, having the ability to travel in space and using rather an interesting item for evolution, should Porygon be treated as a Pokemon at all?
|
Porygon is man-made pokemon...but Porygon is still pokemon as well as Magnemite and Voltorb...
|
Mewtwo is a man-made clone.
|
The game is a little unclear as to how Porygon is projected into the real world to battle other Pokémon. It could be it's body is a mechanical shell, and the data is downloaded and uploaded from it, or it could be some method of harnessing the data's will.
Did I trigger this topic? o.o; |

I'm thinking holograms, myself. I mean, considering the advanced technology in the series, it wouldn't surprise me. It should be treated like a Pokémon, though, simply because… well, for instance, it has a number [137], can use attacks like any other Pokémon, and… well, it is. Just because it's man–made, doesn't mean it can't be alive and be an official Pokémon.
|
It also has a rather bland type: normal. Which means it can be harmed by fighting attacks. Personally, I think that Porygon should have been Psychic (unless they made a digital type), it would make sense for a mysterious psychic force to hold the blocky body pieces together (in stadium, porygon falls apart when it loses).
And the thing about mewtwo... unlike Porygon, mewtwo is organic. |
Actually, its being Normal allows it to be very versatile in its technique–learning abilities--if it was Psychic, for instance, it wouldn't make sense that it can learn such a wide range of technique types. That's what I like about the Normal element; its versatility.
|
hey! a digital elemental type...that's a good idea...
I always thought of Porygon as kind of a digital duck (I mean, look at any of its sprites...it looks like a duck) I say that it was man-made (just like Magnemite and Voltorb probably were), but it still a fully equipped pokémon ready to battle... |

I really thought that it was one when I first saw it |
How about making 2 types to change Porygon to? Virtual and Locic.
|
In Stadium 2 Porygon 2 bobbs his head up and down like one of this toys that sucks water then comes back up!

Not always. I'll have to do some more research, but I'm sure that there's at least 1 Normal–type with high defense.
|
I am of the school of thought that all pokemon are man-made, but whatever you like. :)

Snorlax come to mind when I think of high-defense normal types...

normal types tend to have a higher special defense compare to their normal defense. It's their ability to learn so much variations of buffing attacks such as curse and amnesia that makes up for their lack of defense...
In almost all situation (special situations are when stat upers are used beforehand), a normal type shouldn't go up against a fighting Pokemon if both pokemon has full hp. Even with psychic it's hard to take down fighting types for normal types. Even for the almight snorlax things will be very hard for it against a fighting type if it hasn't been cursed up yet. |

It is quite low really. I think Normal type suits Porygon. |
Miltank is the only normal-type I can think of who has real good Defense. Porygon should have the color-change like ability, that would be neat. It would block off the need for conversion and conversion2.
|
i think it's better Porygon family don't have color change... color change is cool but fatal in battle. Imagine a shedinja can simply do this...
-first hit color changing pokemon with aerial ace -opponent becomes flying type -hit the opponent with shadowball -opponent becomes ghost type -hit the opponent with a STAB super effective shadowball now... not the best example but you get the point... |

A better example is Dragon Claw or Breath, repeat times are super-effective. ^_^

Well everyone must agree : Normal pokemon >>> All other pokemon.
