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.
