Name Any animal that Pokemon never did.

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.
