Genesect and Registeel are though. Totally. Although, technically, no pokemon are truly robots, since they're supposed to be natural/biological creatures, right?

Aren't they like weird data animals being that they can be stored in a computer etc?

See, these are the parts were the show is actually canon and help explain things better (even though this is kinda hinted at with Bill's teleportation device on Red/Blue). It's just that, you teleport Pokémon to your beloved professor, they're not IN the computer.

That explains a lot. I also thought they were in the PC, but rather than digitally "online" or something, they were sort of "attached", as if the Pokeballs were some sort of CD or whatever.

That also explains why whenever I happen to see Pokemon on TV, Professor Oak always has a heckload of Ash's Pokemon with him.

Yep teleporting makes a whole lot more sense

But yeah, I get your point.

Wellllll, if anything was to be considered digital, it'd be the Poke Balls, not the Pokemon themselves. I don't think it'd be much of a stretch to believe that whatever technology allows the balls to fit the Pokemon inside them (with their own habitats or whatever to exist in (yes that's been mentioned by the creators at some point)) is the same kind of thing that allows Pokemon to be stored in a PC/PC network.

The Pokemon are "natural" beings in the Pokemon world, I really don't think they built the universe around the PC system. It was more of just a necessity of gameplay that you have some place to store your Pokemon after you reach the party limit of 6.

I saw a drawing on DA it was pretty funny, it was a humorus explaination of how pokemon fit into pokeballs.

Anyway, Not much of what nintendo creates in general, makes sense.

Hence Italian plumbers jumping on turtles and eating mushrooms.

Only one part of that doesn't make sense. As far as I know, Italian plumbers would love to eat some mushrooms. I know I do. Especially on pizza or in spaghetti. Yum.

Well OK then, eating mushrooms to instantly become 2x as big. Plus of course eating green ones for an extra chance at life, and blue ones to become way small.

Don't tell me that makes sense.

I've heard of some 'shrooms that cane make all those things happen, bby

Wow this derailed quickly

Hopping in to say I'd like to see a millipede Pokemon.

(SCOLIPEDE IS A CENTIPEDE and yes it would be different enough)

I think page 12 is pretty good progress before a derailment. In all honesty Scolipede looks more millipede than centipede to me... and even if you disagree a cartoon looking centipede monster like thing is still pretty close to a millipede
As it's also a weird deer-cross (well it has legs anyway) a more bug-like 'pede would be cool.

I was going to say it would be nice to have another (more cute) snail Pokemon but apparently there's a thing called Stermit now days.

Been looking at some 5th gen. Some are really cool like the rock crab. And the sea turtle Pokemon looks really froody. Does Pururiru count as a squid? Seems squid-like... sure someone said squid.

I would say Frillish is a squid, yeah. It's also an awesome squid.

They need to come out with more interesting fossil pokemon.

I thought you said squid.

And yeah fossil Pokemon rock, I totally remember my Kabutops. Right now I've got a Tirtouga. But I agree, most fossil Pokemon always seem to have some kind of shell or such.

It's a jellyfish. Heck, it's evolution is Jellicent (Jell being the key word).

As for it dooming ships, that sounds like it's based on the classic "Giant squid attacking a ship" cliche, but I believe it's based on a japanese ghost myth or something unrelated to squids in general.
