Why doesn't every region have teams trying to create new evolutions for Porygon? Realistically scientists would be making dozens of new Porygon evolutions every year.
>>59038113Because Porygon must play the eternal patsy for Pikachu's crimes
Gamefreak mindbroke Porygon as punishment for his crimes
>>59038148In a world where he wasn't, Porygon would be what Rotom is now.Loaded onto every PC, every phone, managing all the boxes.I like to imagine there's some niche group in the world of pokemon who use Porygon like a Linux distro so they don't have to put up with the Rotom company.
Porygon Z is unstable, and no one dared to try again
>>59038113Only people in Johto and Sinnoh had any brains, the rest are streamers or some retarded shit like that
>>59038113They would but Rotom took that spot.
>>59038229Original Porygon program was held together by duct tape and glue and no one knew how it worked. Only that it did work. Porygon 2 was successful but it is difficult to tamper with the code further without it all falling apart.
>>59038113>Realistically'tis a video game
realistically, you wouldn't be able to catch porygon anymore and would instead have to pay $19.99 pokedollars a month to keep access to it (extra $44.99 if you want the AI-powered Porygon2 integration)
>>59038113Aether was working on a porygon form for UB research, but Wicke kept using it to capture shotas so it had to be scrapped
>>59038201Because he's from an older gen with more sovl, I think they would be way more creative about porygon and how people would use him than they are about Rotom
>>59038735I guess that's not as bad as arcade coins
>>59038726realistically you would get raped tho
>>59038201At least they already have a nice mascot
>>59038159https://youtu.be/71iImE0_1kg
>>59039243What would you install Porygon into?>>59038735I hate cloud computing.Older software you bought on a disc used to come with a perpetual license. You just kept the serial numbers and put them in whenever you needed to install it on a new computer.Porygon would be more like that.
>>59040957>What would you install Porygon into?US military data bases
>>59041010Porygon might be too advanced to work on 8-inch floppy discs.
>>59038148This. Epilepsy and earthquakes are the bane of this franchise.
>>59038148Pikachu did nothing wrong either, it's just some jap kids being weak
>>59041840>and earthquakesWhat did those do?
Im happy they acknowledged this.
>>59043422I think a big earthquake just happened to happen when the anime aired some episode with lot of earthquake(the attack) action. Ever since then they havent used the move in the show.
>>59043422
>>59043459>>59043669Huh, so they still haven't used Earthquake years later even if it's one of the best moves
>>59038113Competency crisis, that's what you get when you have morons who become streamers or rappers or maybe even worse
>>59038113Porygon evolutions infringe upon IP
>>59038201a penguin evo for porygon would be absolute and total kino for this reason
>>59038113Why is Porygon normal type and not electric?
>>59038201I hate that the Poryphone is locked to the shitty mastersex phone game.I'd be ecstatic if Prygon got a larger role in future games. Hell, I'd be praising GF if they made an updated PorygonZ or an alt third evolution that wasn't insane/corrupted.When I went to Japan last year, out of the five pokemon centers I visited, only one had a porygon plush (which had labelling for a limited event that wasn't even on any more). It now lives on the headboard of my bed alongside Tokyo Station train driver and both of the Kyoto Kimono Pikachus
>>59044520nice, that could also end up branching out a lot
>>59044569I really, really, really want a Mega Porygon-Z that’s just a hard MissingNo reference. The color scheme is already there, you just take PoryZ and make him flicker in and out via static and let his contorting poses give him the L shape now and again in his idle. Give him a unique ability “memory overflow” that causes the effects of his held item to apply twice (if possible) as a reference to the item dupe glitch.
>>59044569What, it can't be used anywhere else just because masters had it?
>>59038113Did that seizure episode in the anime ruin Porygon?
>>59043669Giovanni did nothing wrong
>>59045938it shouldn't have, would've just been natural selection at work
>>59045931It was made for a mobile game.How often do they take shit from spin-offs and put them into the mainline games?
>>59044508worse like "influencers"
>>59045941Porygon did nothing wrong either
>>59044569The fact that Porygon-Z exists and HASN'T been used for exploring Hyperspace Wormholes that vomit out Z-Power is mind boggling to me.It's right there. It's right fucking there in its name: Z.It's a pokemon made to explore other dimensions. It should be all up in every Ultra Beast's business, it should be harassing the piss out of Giratina in its distortion world, it should be bumming around with the Unown making Arceus give it weird looks.
>>59038113Branching evolution Porygon3 (real) with ray tracing and super reflective textures
>>59038201What I hate the most about those rotom forms is they're not even usable in battles. And don't give me shit like "it's a bike, how would it battle" when there's a fan with levitate you can whip out.
>>59038113Porygon would be perfect for hacking or protecting digital infrastructure. Modifying its code allows for all kinds of alterations, making it a potential (anti-)virus. Too bad hackers never realized this possibility, as Arceus made sure that no living being would ever conceive these thoughts, following a reality-altering incident involving an electric rat. The only other pokemon capable of interacting with cyberspace would be Rotom, though it tends to take over a device, making it its body rather than a realm to traverse and operate in. Which a Porygon could conveniently exploit. >>59047483>it's a bike, how would it battleramming your opponents at high speeds is always an option>>59047380Has "Z" a special meaning in Japanese culture? Another example I can think of would be Dragon Ball Z.
>>59047623My best guess is that "Z" is the last letter of the English alphabet and the Japanese use it for things that should be the ending.Dragon Ball Z was presumably given the Z because it was meant to be the final arc of Dragon Ball, but then it wasn't and dragged on.Porygon-Z is the final evolution of Porygon.As for Z-Power, I have no idea why they named it that. Maybe Z for Necrozma? But the in-universe characters giving it that name didn't know about Necrozma when they named it Z-Power, did they?
>>59047623>Has "Z" a special meaning in Japanese culture? Another example I can think of would be Dragon Ball ZIt's like omega, the last letter of an exotic alphabet that's a symbol of something ultimate or a final form.
>>59038113There was probably some law pasted to stop it for ethical reasons.
>>59044521Because it is not like Rotom. It is a 3D printed creature. I guess it is made out of plastic ?
>>59044521Because it's not effected by ghosts and takes super effective damage from fighting types
>>59048547some law against inducing siezures or you mean in-universe?
>>59048579Is it 3D printed though?Computer generated, yes, but 3D printed back in the 1990s?
>>59047623Porygon-Z is a 1337-sp33k spelling of Porygon2, he’s supposed to be a glitchy warez/modded version of Porygon, which is why it’s the same model but broken (inverted head and body) and why you need a “dubious disc” to upgrade to him. The Z has nothing to do with the usage in Z-moves (which probably do use it because it feels “ultimate” as the last letter)
Porgyon's next form should be based on the internet, it's really the only place you can go after Porygon2.
>>59038113Only those worthy of finding the road to the Hyperboreans may hug a Porygon. Tropical shitholes need not apply
>>59038113I like the sounds it makes
>>59049645Probably the same way you withdraw Pokemon from a PC
>>590501582 heads might be interesting
>>59049044In-universe. Porygon Z is an illegal upgrade, after all. You technically shouldn't even be allowed to use it in official league battles.
>>59047483At the very least, Pokopia seems to be implying we'll finally be getting a new battle-eligible Rotom form in WW, they specifically bothered giving Stereo Rotom a brand new type and physical attributes despite not being a game with battles or having any relevance in that regard.
>>59053170No one's ever given a shit about morally dubious modifications to Pokemon in-universe in mainline Pokemon anyway unless it's someone like Team Rocket causing it, else Cara Liss would've been jailed for facilitating the creation of incorrectly restored abominations that can barely function without extreme degrees of human care and maintenance.
>>59053237why is it bad when team rocket does it but not the protag?
>>59053252Because otherwise you might make the kiddins think they're the bad guy for wanting the freaky fish head on a dragon body that rapes everything with Fishious Rend, including mons that should tank the hit due to dual-resisting water moves.
>>59038201>secret/new porygon box mechanic (or replacement for the rotom shit) as a reference to linux vs windowsCould be a fun way to go about things even if a lot of linux users can be a bit obnoxious.
>>59053356You got told to rtfm, didn't you
>>59053356someone didn't check the man page before asking
>>59048605actually like that a lot
>>59053264>you might make the kiddins think they're the bad guyThen explain this
>>59038113it's already got 3 stages
>>59038113I think it partially has to do with international red tape prohibiting scientists from making a hundred new artificial Pokémon and complicating classifications. After Castform, new artificial 'mons are usually made under para-legal circumstances like Genosect (who seems to reuse some of the same technology in Porygon given it has Download and can also change its type) and Porygon-Z.The other part of it is that same said groups funding artificial 'Mons lost interest in further developing Porygon as soon as the process that made Mewtwo could be recreated without blowing up your lab, leading to the creation of their Mega-evolutions.
>>59055761thought it was a mostly digital thing
>>59038201I hate Rotom shilling. It makes Rotom himself feel undervalued. He used to be cool mysterious. Now he's an iPhone.DJ Rotom can stay though. Give him Electric/Normal and Boomburst.
>>59056338It feels like Rotom got tricked into being this computer slave with the phones when it just wants to be a little mischievous trickster. Unless all the Rotoms are in on the joke where they're all one day going to just stop working and leave everyone high and dry, it feels so out of character for them to be so cooperative.
>>59056338just can't stand seeing it
>>59047398It would be so based if Porygon3 had Eviolite Porygon2's bulk without needing a held itemUnfortunately it gives it like 600+ BST though unless you take away some speed and atk
>>59047398what does that shit even look like
>>59057901Probably like Porygon2 except:>extremely reflective and shiny>longer neck>3x bigger side wings>legs>blue and red colors inverted or darkened
>>59038113I might be schizo but I'm pretty sure Silph Co. implanted copy protection or some shit so you can't just make "cracked" Porygons that easily. Like the only reason Porygon-Z exists is because of Pokemon crime orgs having shit loads of cash and resources.
>>59038735>Porygon+>Even stronger than Z and can actually take a hit>But you have to pay a fee for each turn it's in play>Run out of money and it gets truant as an ability (You have to watch an ad before it can go again)
>>59044521Normal is supposed to be a "potential" type. Porygon can shift to become anything using Conversion. It's the same reason why Kecleon, Arceus, and Silvally are Normal type.
>>59054819Every Pokemon gives off the energies of every type how else do you think they can use moves not of their main one or two types, but the energy they give off the most is what their type ends up being so for Porygon it gives off a lot of normal energy
>>59058431Yeah I just keep hearing ray tracing and don't really know if there's any difference, I just got that card for the VRAM
>>59058975San people in the pokemon world not create a phone without points sticking out? Someone design a Voltorb phone with round edges.
>>59059545I guess that's one more reason I can't stand it
>>59059545imagine running around with shit like that poking holes in your pockets
>>59038113Hot take, there are other forms but none ever get pushed to prod because of the dubius disk exploit
>>59060871it's a good way to make more and say they were there all along
>>59060856And your balls
>>59059545exploding phones are a reference so it's ok
>>59047380The entire point of Z is that it doesn't work properly.>>59047623Sounds cool and is the last letter of an alphabet.Much like we have Omega on things.>>59055761Null and Silvally also came out after Castform and the alola trio are all legal.>Mons lost interest in further developing PorygonWe know you can develop Porygon because Clemont did so as stated in the USUM power plant.>as soon as the process that made Mewtwo could be recreated without blowing up your lab, leading to the creation of their Mega-evolutions.Outright headcanon>>59058966Null's development documents confirm types exist at genetic level.
>>59038229Does a nice bit of damage
>>59062996Z feels like it would work properly if it could get to another dimension where the physics are different.It not working properly in the primary dimension is more like a symptom of it not being designed to work under these conditions. Which is still a big oversight on whoever modded its part.
>>59062969asploding's fun
>>59038113Only a select few are smart enough
>>59065100not all who are called may enter
>>59065100And only the strong get to select the dream
>>59045941He added parmesan instead of romano once
>>59045336But a Mega would already use up the item slot if you're gonna use it
>>59038113Wasn't that easy to make, the ones who actually developed them are the best in the world
Porygon 1 and 2 where made by team rocket scientists working at silph co. They lost the source code when it broke up after gsc. Plasma tried to mod it and we got Porygon-Z so clearly they can't handle jailbreaking it. If you want a porygon 3 you have to get the gang back together.
>>59068966If Ohmori tried making anything about them they'd end up being complete tards so I doubt they'd be able to make another one
>>59045941he held a sandwich the wrong way
>>59045941He used the wrong kind of dough
>>59053252Almost like everything about certain "generations" is wrong
>>59043442actually looks fun if it's in
>>59038113Probably costs a lot and takes a lot more skill
>>59072922Qrd?
>>59038113it's not exactly easy
>>59074569The first Porygon was created 30 years ago. It should be super easy by now.
>>59038113>Realistically scientists would be making dozens of new Porygon evolutions every yearRealistically? The fuck do you mean? Its not just a program, its ALIVE. One porygon is a fucking miracle. Realistically it should be a damn mythical.
>>59074577Modern programmers don't write code now. They call APIs. And that's not even counting the hordes of oogaboogas who pretend to be coders
>>59038113Eh! Pesky bee!
>>59038113Just look at what kinda characters they have. That's enough to explain why certain regions can't make their own Porygons.
>>59043459Yeah, it broke a nuclear power plant and everything
>>59038113Lotta folks wanna do something cool. Whether they've got the skill for it is another matter
>>59077102Should've dumped the radioactive water all over china
>>59078963especially in retaliation for the bioweapon they released and spread all over the world
>>59079411And created in a lab with the explicit intent to make an already virulent disease even worse
>>59079955Says a lot that a mafia organization created a cool pokemon while a government created a bioweapon and couldn't even own up to it
>>59078963especially over the few crops the ching chongs were trying to grow
>>59082058They'd still eat radioactive crops anyway, fried in gutter oil
>>59078963The chinks even tried virtue-signaling about it. They've been trying to paint themselves as this champion of environmentalism when the whole reason they keep selling that dirt is because they're the only ones willing to contaminate their own occupied territories just to extract that shit
>>59082058don't think that's gonna be any worse than the literal soi they keep gulping down
>>59083286They'd probably call themselves that because of the wuflu that shut down a lot of air travel
It could always be mixed with more estrogen than they already have
>>59077102their fault for being sloppy with it
>>59082624and cats and dogs
>>59086696And bats of course
>>59043459they have earthquakes every 5 minutes there
>>59087540and eggs soaked in piss
>>59089261FERMENTED in piss
>>59038661kekedI can't believe we got two fucking streamer influencers in a row
>>59049645>>59052091It's computer-generated. That's the whole gimmick. Polygons from a video game.
>>59090088If you don't count the game set in a time before computers, we've had 3. And they're going to keep coming.
>>59090088at least it's not basketball player
>>59090088Expect to see one in every game from now on.
Its moves? Abilities?
>>59091233Ability: Reboot (has its HP, moves, status, etc reset at the end of the round) yeah it's powercreep time
>>59042435There were no reports of any child suffering from epileptic fits as a result of the episode. It was a rumor that turned into a mass panic. The scene in question wasn't any more intense than was common for anime at the time.
>>59091745Based if true, not Porygon's fault the kids were feeble or faking
>>59092462It's not that kids were faking, they just felt a little nauseous after the scene (which is normal when the screen flashes and you're sitting too close to the tv) and the media convinced them/ their parents that pokemon almost killed them.
The scene that had Porygon all but banned from the anime. It was framed by Pikachu, but the rat has better PR.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVY5uZ18-x8
>>59092756It was either ditch Porygon or cancel the show and kill the franchise.
>>59092767or ditch the kids and appeal to fans that aren't feebs
>>59093303Or flush the kids down the toilet, they weren't fit for survival anyway and are only alive today because modern medicine's been propping them up
>>59038113The idea for Vivillon should have been applied to Porygon instead not some forgettable derivative shitmon
>>59092767probably better than what we got now
>>59091233RecoverSelf-destruct
>>59090088youtube was a mistake
>>59046258Burnet came from a gen 5 spinoff before her and Kukui got hitched.
>>59095204And social media
>Dubious Disk: "A transparent device overflowing with dubious data. Its producer is unknown. ">B2W2: "Its programming was modified to enable work in alien dimensions. It did not work as planned."To obtain Porygon-Z you need to install malware onto a living creature without it's consent which was made for the travel of "alien dimensions" that "failed", whatever that means.Is Porygon-Z the single most unethical pokemon to own?
>>59038113And to make something like that, you need to know the principles involved in programming instead of just copying the tutorials then begging for help afterwards
>>59095204most google things are really, you should see the blobs that were hoping everything would end up dependent on their servers
>>59096996>>59097980these two sound connected...
Dubious Dick
>>59096490Parasect is still worse.
>>59038201I like to imagine there's a universe where people read the pokédex entries that explain the world to those ignorant of it. Porygon's copyrighted and locked down. Rotom's the open source option (likely why poryphones never took off, too expensive and clearly inferior to something as hot-swappable as a Rotom).
>>59056338I kinda liked it in Alola bc it felt novel at the time. Now that they're shoving it into every device ever it just devalues a Pokémon whose legendary status people used to debate.
>>59098788Just think of the causes behind enshittification
>>59038113>Why doesn't every region have teams trying to create new evolutions for Porygon?why would they>Realistically scientists would be making dozens of new Porygon evolutions every year.the pokemon world is an idealistic society and already has things like teleportation, time travel and functionally infinite energywhy would anyone need a new evolution for porygon, especially considering how the last one led to porygon-z (who is canonically defective)
>>59099736>why would there be scientists developing things when the world already has all these things scientists developed?
>>59099767what would an evolution of porygon do in-universe that isn't already accomplished by porygon2>inb4 make it le better at ita. we have no reason to believe porygon2 is bad at what it does2. they tried that already and it didn't work
>>59038148So why do Porygon2 and Porygon-Z exist? They were both created after the anime episode
>>59099708could that have caused a lot of panic and crying again?
>>59100497The truth tends to hurt
>>59099971probably because the games didn't cause seizures
>>59040925Lmao this is ass
>>59102367Just nausea in the case of modern mainline slop
>>59056451They're implied to be bred in captivity for phones. A lot of people have apparently never seeen wild Rotoms.
>>59038113some regions just don't have what it takes
>>59104105Some regions should've been burnt away
>>59038113it's like asking why there aren't a bunch of Mother games coming out. the original creator isn't interested, the fans who are interested are incompetent, and people who are competent have better things to do with their time
>>59104936the ones that can't are just mistakes
>>59038113I suspect they're just stupid
>>59038159it was pikachu's fault
>>59106574It's the japs' fault for being weak
>>59106574would've just been natural selection if it hadn't been for modern medicine
>>59095204Anything consoomers lap up passively will end up that way
do some missingno shit with z or make a regional evo where you have to a "glitch" to get it to evolve
>>59108787looks like the side view of a hand giving the middle finger
>>59108787Would actually be nice to see it in lore
>>59110021For that to happen, Pokémon would have to be digimon AND not give a shit about curating their additions.Because frankly, despite how obsessed shitbags are with it, Game Freak see it as an embarrassment. A clarion call of how unable they were, to allow such a glitch to propagate. And that means they don't give a fuck for digikeks who think they should add a video game glitch because it existed
>>59096490Ultra Sun implies they let an idiot handle things.>Its behavior is noticeably unstable, which is apparently due to the incompetence of the engineer who updated its programming.
>>59110333You saying Digimon makes jokes about their own bugs? Never played any of those games
>>59038113Has no one made a (fan) Bug-type variant?
>>59111032would that even be any good?
>>59110983No, I'm saying digimon would be more likely to throw in a glitch as an actual digimon, because it's set in the digital mainframe, where it makes sense a computer glitch could turn into a monster to be trained.Missingno's the result of a specific letter-dependent glitch, due to concessions made to fit the game on cart (the game storing the player's name in the "last pokémon encountered" table while it flashed up the old man's battle screen) with certain values then drawing garbage data from scrubbed pokémon index slots (which if caught and transferred to Gen 2 resolve to Gen 2 additions that hold the same index no. as the Gen 1 catch) and the game as an overall whole shitting itself on encounter (max items in the 6th slot in the bag, wasn't it?). It's not a Mew situation where it was a SECOND hidden pokémon, it was all entirely the game having a shitfit because the player forced its hand. And added to the fact Game Freak consider their world a near-earth equivalent, they'd actually be unable to justify a computer glitch (not an artificial pokémon, like Porygon) existing as a living creature.
>>59110722that sounds prophetic
>>59111032Are there any Bug-types that are more about programming bugs than arthropods?
>>59102707This was half a month ago.You're not real, bot.
>>59110722Pokopia added some more.Daily Porygon2 notesCompanies involved in the space exploration industry are at each other's throat these days. I'm feeling the pain of it myself, as I've been put in charge of caring for some Porygon2 meant for planetary exploration. It's a lot of work!Today, one of those three Porygon2 seems unwell. I ordered a patch that sounded effective and applied it, so I hope it will feel better tomorrow.
>>59108787that'd be much better than the references they make
>>59113672>Today, one of those three Porygon2 seems unwell. I ordered a patch that sounded effective and applied it, so I hope it will feel better tomorrow.>Update installed>Fucks everythingAccurate

>>59114724You pay for complete shit, you get complete shit
>>59115653more like you hire a certain ethnicity, you get enshittification
>>59092756I understand banning the original Porygon, but cutting 2 and Z seems like an overreaction.
>>59116855would've happened before those two were created
>>59040957cloudflare especially was a mistake

>>59126579>Porygon was specifically made to someday become sophisticated enough for space travel>like a rocket>Team Rocket>this was their calling card and it took advantage of the lingering mystique from the space race to seem innocuous>the only reason Porygon2 happened is because the remnants of Team Rocket following Giovanni's humiliation ritual needed funding to move their operations to Johto and managed to strike one final deal with Silph>when Team Rocket went fully defunct after they got mogged at the Goldenrod Radio Tower, there was no longer any reason to develop Porygon as a project because they no longer feared Team Rocket coming back and demanding continuation>once Silph discovers Ditto can breed with Porygon to bypass copy protection, they use this to cheapen the production process and let Porygon become a luxury mon mass purchased by socialites like Mr. Backlot and high class facilities like Blueberry Academy, taking advantage of their utter stupidity that they don't know Porygon isn't Ditto-proofed so they buy vast quantities instead of just one Porygon>Silph cites difficulties in progressing Porygon2's spacefaring capabilities to let themselves bow out of worrying about keeping up the cover story (but they still produce and sell Up-Grades to further nickel and dime the idiots, of course)>double agent scientists continue their work in secret regardless, but without the grey zone luxuries and black market connections Team Rocket once gave them, their attempt to take the Porygon project into their own hands and make it into something practical goes horribly awry, thus birthing Porygon-ZIt's a lot of bullshit, but I'd believe it.

>>59126605Squirtle Squad would've been great for one of those expanded shinies
