Why isn't he Normal/Bug type?
because they're not retarded like you
>>58660830But he's literally a computer bug
>>58660824You know, anon, you might be onto something.
>>58660824Because it doesn't work like that in japanese
>>58660824Because it's not a bug.
>>58660858erm, yes it is>Its programming was modified to enable it to travel through alien dimensions. Seems there might have been an error...
>>58660860Careful, /vp/ is full of etymology experts who will argue this entomological discovery over the merits of kanji or some shit, completely ignoring that the modern computer is a white mans' invention.
>>58660855They don't get computer bugs in Japan?
>>58660876Ofc not.They programme in kana, which has no errors.
>>58660824But then it wouldn't fall into my favourite category of pokemon: bugs that aren't bug-type.
>>58660860glitches are not insects
>>58660917
>>58660876None they would call "mushi"
>>58660876>>58660884>>58660925/thread
>>58660925Maybe it's a Cow-terpie?
>>58660855Well that's not really a problem given that English is the ruling canon language in names, terms and other such things, while Japanese is a secondary relic.
>>58661149pokemon like Kirinriki (Girafarig) and Odoshishi (Stantler) are Japanese jokes that don't work as well in English>but those pokemon are old!Galarian Darmanitan is also a play on how snowmen are called "yukidaruma" in Japanese
>>58661214That's neat, but I still feel English > Japanese. Anyway, I said what I said because I felt that "Because it doesn't work like that in Japanese" was a flimsy excuse. Especially because English, in the context of Pokemon, is IMO, infinitely more iconic than Japanese.That's not to say that there aren't any great Japanese names, some might, just maybe, be better than some of the English names. In fact, going broader, there're definitely at least a handful of international names that match or surpass their English equivalents. Like Amphinobi > Greninja or Grotadmorv > Muk.
>>58660824Because it’s not a bug, retard.
>>58661260So you're saying the program worked as intended and they definitely meant for Porygon Z to happen?
>>58661590>So you're saying [incoherent babble not related to bugs]?Fuck off retard.
>>58661594>A bug is an unexpected problem with software or hardware.>Its programming was modified to enable it to travel through alien dimensions. Seems there might have been an error...
>>58661599>a bug is a terrestrial arthropod animal, usually with at least six legs>porygon-z has nothing to do with terrestrial arthropod animals, usually with at least six legsFuck off retard.
>>58661605porygon isn't a normal animal though, he was made in a computer, in which case he falls squarely into the definition of a computer bug.
>>58661605Software bugs are named as such because a physical bug got zapped by an old style computer it crawled into and caused it to malfunctionIt checks out
>>58661617>porygon isn't a normal animal thoughExactly. Therefore it has nothing to do with bugs. Glad we agree, retard.>>58661619>Software bugs are named as such because they’re not bugsGlad we agree, retard.
>>58661626>>Software bugs are named as such because they’re not bugs>Glad we agree, retard.No, they're literal bugs >>58660919
>>58661632No, they’re not. >>58661605
>>58661635>>a bug is a terrestrial arthropod animal, usually with at least six legsYou mean like this computer bug?
>>58661632
>>58661637>You mean like this thing Porygon-Z isn’t?Glad we agree, retard.
>>58661642No, actually I'm pretty sure the definition of computer bug describes Porygon Z perfectly
>>58661655No, actually I’m pretty sure you’re an ESL retard.
>>58661668You might find this article helpfulhttps://www.cbc.ca/news2/indepth/words/bugaboos.html
>>58660824Porygon line or maybe porygon z should be able to change typing like silvally and arceus. It's literally the line's gimmick from gen1 but manual conversion is retarded. It should have a protean like ability or an item that changes it's type

>>58661728
>>58661745And what does it say directly below the part you highlighted?
>>58661745>anon when he sees terms can have multiple definitions
>>58661728And what does it say directly above the part you highlighted?>>58661755And Porygon-Z is related to the definition that has nothing to do with Bug-type. Glad we agree, retard.
>>58661763>And what does it say directly above the part you highlighted?Looks like its describing the bugs that cause computer bugs, not directly related to Porygon Z but not unrelated either.
>>58661763>anon when he has to project to damage control that he's not completely wrong here
>>58661776>Looks like its describing [thing Porygon-Z isn’t]Glad we agree, retard.>>58661778>anon when he’s a dumbfuck ESL
>>58661785
>>58661785>switching from projection to ad homenimhow utterly embarrassingid just leave the thread if i were you
>>58661798>switching from not having an argument to not having an argumenthow utterly embarrassingid just leave the thread if i were you
>>58660824Should be poision since it's infected
>>58662003>since it's infectedYou could almost say it caught a bug :^)
>>58662020He should be normal psychic because he's a virus and so is Deoxys
>>58662083>He should be normal psychic because he's a virus and so is DeoxysDeoxys is only Psychic because for whatever reason gamefreak decided that psychic is the default type for legendaries for a while. If Deoxys wasn't legendary he would be bug type as well
>>58662154The fact of the matter is all virus pokemon are psychic.
why do people get so anal about this? it would be coolobviously it's not gonna happen because types never change so just say it would be neat, that's all
>>58662164>why do people get so anal about this dumbfuck suggestion that makes literally no sense to anyone but ESLs?hurff dee hurr why isn’t Toxtricity Electric/Rock type guys?
>>58662172>why isn’t Toxtricity Electric/Rock type guys?Thats based and real though?
>>58662172>that makes literally no sense to anyone but ESLs?Are you fucking stupid? It works because they share the same word, this isn't something only an ESL would put together out of confusion, it's a fundamental aspect of the english word, AND THIS IS HOW THEY DESIGN A TON OF POKEMON IN JAPANESE ALREADY. This is common in literally every piece of media that makes designs. Double entendres! It's normal! Dumbass. If Pokemon was an english-language game series toxtricity would have probably been designed as elec/rock. God you're just so fucking dumb.
I wish there was a Mega Porygon-Z
>>58662266>It works because they share the same word,Except it doesn’t, because words can share vastly different meanings, and because you’re a dumbfuck ESL, you can’t grasp this.
>>58662266>CARPETS ARE RELATED TO CARS AND PETS BECAUSE THE SAME LETTERS ARE THERE!!!!this is how retarded you sound
>>58660824Probably because Bug-types are just arthropods and their close relatives. Gamefreak hasn’t really expanded the type beyond that. They’ve always just been bugs.
>>58660824Because that pun only works in English.
>>58662385>Probably because Bug-types are just arthropodsCheckmate, atheists
>>58662396Very funny.
>>58660925Are you saying that Google is lying to me?
>>58662388>Because that pun only works in English.「コンピュータ 虫」
>>58662338>>58662347You are behaving entirely sardonically and your stance is incompatible with reality.
>>58661619>Software bugs are named as such because a physical bug got zapped>>58660919>Originating with Thomas Edison in the 1800s, the term "bug" is still used widely to describe a mistake or failure in a technical systemLiterally the reason this event was notable was because people went "Ha, we already call problems with machines bugs and this time an actual bug is responsible!". They did not get the term from the incident.
>>58662450>projecting
>>58662388Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green have the Pattern Bush. A forest that resembles a Game boy chip. And the only Pokémon you can find there are bug-type.
Not Porygon, but they will definitely do it now considering americans now control the franchise
>>58662565>Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green have the Pattern Bush. A forest that resembles a Game boy chip. And the only Pokémon you can find there are bug-type.wait wtf, I played the shit out of leaf green as a kid and I don't remember this
