I traded a Porygon egg to my new Platinum save file to use it as my starter. Porygon is really cool and Platinum even gives you one at a reasonable time, but now I get to look at the little thing from the jump. So many moves it can learn, and having Trace for the whole game will be handy. Also shoutout to Platinum for probably being the quickest (old) game to allow you to trade eggs around and shit.
I can't decide which of the old Sugimori arts I prefer. I think this pose with the other's colors would be beautiful.
>>55739035I used Porygon in Platinum way back when. I kept it at porygon2. He was such a cool quirky member of the team. Porygon really came into its own that generation. I don't remember exactly what his moveset was aside from HYPERBEAM and 3 powerful coverage TMs making him a great pivot that the team could rely on.I liked that the Rocket affiliated gamecorner gave them out as prizes, and that PorygonZ seems Galactic affiliated. Dark lore for this little digimon. Oh and then theres the banned anime episode. Cursed.
>>55739035Did you give your Porygon a nickname, anon? Also, agree that it's a cool Pokemon. :)
>>55740401Not him but I named mine in FireRed ZIPDISK
>>55740933Nice, lol. You must either be a 90s kid or someone that has a fascination with older tech and storage mediums 'cause I don't think a lot of people today would know what that is. :D

Why exactly are they in the ice biome
>>55739035You can't really consider team rocket evil if they funded the creation of Porygon.
>>55739035based porygon appreciator
>>55741498We hear it's the coolest place to be.
>>55741498his girlfriend lives there
Porygon really is that pokemon everybody likes
>>55739035Based, I used one in my FRLG replay recently, and put in the work to get one from the Game Corner buying coins though , even bought a trade cable so I could evolve it after postgame Tri Attack is so cool
>trace simple off wild bidoof>get hit by tackle>conversion2 into ghost type>pop a sharpen>sweep with tacklePorygon can make route 1 battles actually engaging.
I like him too.
Porygon-Z NEEDS to be in Legends Z-A
>>55745395No
>>55745395Z needs a MEGA
>>55745634this. porygon-z-a
>>55741255>You must either be a 90s kid or someone that has a fascination with older tech and storage mediumsBoth actuallyI like collecting older tech and storage mediums for some reason. MO disks, floppies, 8 inch floppies, old IBM computers, cassette data, s100 mainframes, ADM terminals...I actually have a paper tape punch connected to my computer right now, I can store and read whatever I want on 8 bit punched paper/mylar tapeIt's my own particular branch of autism. Although I will admit all the old tech I've accumulated is somehow worth a lot of money now so I consider it investing in a way too. Gonna name my Metagross COLOSSUS after the computer that broke the German's encryption during WWII. Makes sense because he's a super computer essentially.
Back in the day I would save up all my ingame money to just straight out buy a Porygon in Gen I. Spend a night just hitting a over and over again to buy enough coins. Always thought it was cool that I could buy Porygon and it was the only way to get him, made Porygon a bit more "elite," simply just cool to haveI thought it was the coolest thing ever that I could trade him to Gen II and then breed it with Ditto to make an infinite amount of free Porygons.Always wondered if that would be considered illegal copying of software in the game world...
>>55739035The real question is, are you evolving it? How far? When?
>>55745496yes
Porygon is one of those Pokemon that I always really liked and wanted to use, but never really got a chance to until very recently. I used one in LeafGreen and Indigo Disk, and had it on my team for a while in Arceus. PLA is the only time I've taken it all the way to Z.
>>55741551Good thing they didnt then.
>>55745858No
>>55745762That's really cool, bro. You sound like you could be one of those vintage computer Youtubers!
He's a good boy
>>55750095I love itTeam Rocket has to fund its operations somehow, and this feels like the kind of scheme the organization would pull.
>>55750095this makes me want to go hit the slots for my very own Porygon
>>55739035Did you restart your platinum game completely?Damn, what about all the pokemon you collected and have in the game?
Should there be a split evo for Porygon2 with a new item giving it a "proper" evolution?>Dubious Disk goes to PorygonZ>Firmware File goes to Porygon3
>>55739035Cool thing is you can still evolve it through custom dns, if you want to one day.
>>55750811Having a more defensive based porygon to offset the wacky aggressive adaptability hyper beam duck would be pretty gud
Waiting patiently until he can finally be upgraded to use Fly
I wonder in what programming language Porygon was codedMy headcanon is LISP>>55750811We were robbed of Porygon3
>>55750398>>55750696Porygon's origin should have been that it was a team rocket scam virtual pokemon that became self aware.
>>55751165Would be cool to see, but I'd kinda hate for Eviolite Porygon2 to become outclassed.
>>55750717I traded the ones I care about off the cartridge first. I only own 1 Sinnoh game and I'm not forking over the cash for another one just to restart!
>>55750095okay so my dumb ass is risking nuking this thread with my autism, but I wonder if 9999 Pokedollars actually IS a low price.there's no date on this, so I'll have to assume it's 1996-1999, the same year(s) that the gen 1 games came out. But it's widely accepted/agreed upon that pokedollars are equivalent to the japanese yen. ¥9,999 in 1996 is roughly ¥10,385 in todays money, which is about $67. ..so that kinda actually is a low price for a super special digital monster...also, anons. Boycott Pikachu. Porygon did nothing wrong and yet is still banned from the pokemon anime to this day.
>>55753610LOOK HOW HAPPY HE WAS TO HELP SAVE THE DAY!!Look at his eyesHe didn't deserve to be banned...
>>55755336forgiveness...
I didn't know other people liked Porygon. I always bring it up during favourites discussions on and off-line, but nobody cared. Heck yes, the one troo Digimon Pocket Monster.>>55753610Electric Soldier Porygon literally one of the top 10 eps easily, it's ridiculous they don't just edit it so people can enjoy it legally.>>55753610I certainly didn't have 70 bucks just lying around when I was 10.
Porygon was my fav pokemon when I was a kid and I remember waiting for Porygon to show up in the anime but he never did. Years later I learned the truth. Fuck you Pikachu.
Kadabra recently made an appearance in the TCG after like 20 years of absence due to Uri Gellar. Perhaps with Kadabra returning, TPCi will think to include porygon (and kadabra) in the anime again....? Maybe it'll cross their minds?
>>55757941yea they can have Kadabra and Porygon Have a lewd altercation with Jynx and get them all banned once again.
>>55739157I'm pretty sure I read this exact post ~3 years ago
>>55758657I might be going crazy but nearly all the images in this thread are ones I also saved back in like 2014. Also the posts here are really sincere. Almost feels like someone is trawling the archives and reposting pory-positive posts. Are we going insane or what
>>55759035>>55758657We have always been insane, you faggots
>>55739157going through all the pre-Home games before transferring everything up currently, cannot wait for when I get to use this little fucker, hell might be able to use him for 3 runs if my rules check out
>>55758657>>55759035How do you guys remember these sorts of things?
>>55739157If pory is solid and pory2 is wobbly, what is poryz?
>>55761269It's a glitch
>>55761285Yes but what is its texture
>>55761298It's a mystery
>>55761360Hmm, glitchy-wobbly it would seem
>Psybeam is short for "Psychedelic Beam"The more you know
The Aether Foundation made the Dubious Disc.Source: my uncle works for Silph Co and they are filing a lawsuit in two weeks
>>55762506Psybeam sounds cooler, imo. Also, if Porygon is a creation of human ingenuity, it makes me wonder why we don't see or have more Pokemon that are being whipped up in a lab somewhere.
How did this line never go tne rpute of eeveelutions and get more new evolution lines throughout the generations? Even beyond tbe obvious proper Porygon3 you basically have limitless potential for a digital based pokemon. Did the anime episode really fuck up its reputation that much?
>>55764940we have some other pokemon whipped up in a lab: Castform, Mewtwo, Genesect, Silvally, Rotom appliances, and the Galarian Fossils.There's also pokemon created by humans on purpose long ago like Baltoy/Castform, Golett/Golurk, Spiritomb, and Magearna.Then there's the many pokemon humans created on accident like Grimer
I think he's confused.
>>55745634>>55745727>Porygon Z gets a Mega>It's just Porygon 2 but with Porygon Z's eyes
>>55764948What would they even do with a Porygon3?
>>55766120Make it an ugly as fuck Western woman. Okay srsly, maybe a little AI that changes shapes a lot?
>>55766145Game Freak can't even make the current Porygon change form in the games.
>>55766120Hyperrealistic, to the point where all the extra triangles in its models and HQ textures visible drop the FPS whenever its on screen
>>55764948>Did the anime episode really fuck up its reputation that much?Yes?I mean, all porygon discussion forever has to bring the episode up, even if its in favor of Porygon.
>>55766120There's the original Porygon2. I see it as being better instead of just a mild change from the original. Spheres instead of sharp angles. Castform has some of these properties, though.
>>55766193The final Porygon2 is the perfect evolution for Porygon. It's just a higher-poly version of the original model.
>>55766187This is sadly why Porygon can never appear in the anime again, which of course includes its evolutions
>>55761374He looks really comfy in that bowl of fruit
>>55739043I was curious how it would look
>>55766038Nah, it makes sense that he likes waterHe's like a flightless duck almost.
>>55769186But how do the other duck Pokemon react? Do they welcome him with open wings or quietly but quickly scoot across the pond, putting as much distance between them and him?
>>55739035The next gen1 remake hes able to be downloaded into your pokedex and works as your dex and pc.
>>55769952Porýball
>>55745395It's so bizarre that PLA, a game that takes place in ye olde Japan, decided that it would use up valuable space in its small Pokédex by putting in Polygon and Rotom. You know, the lines whose whole thing is being made out of and interacting with modern electronics.
>>55758657as the person you are responding to, I am not a bot or anything like that. You could be right tho, I may have made an extremely similar post ~3 years ago.Now I'm thinking I did and I'm on here repeating myself.. although it could be a false memory. Maybe some other /tr/ainer just had an extremely similar experience in Platinum. As for the images, there are only so many pictures of Porygon cheers to porygon either way. hip hip hooray.>>55769964yea that struck me as an odd pick too
>>55766120Lean into the resurgence of retro gaming and make it look like it's an 8-bit sprite represented in HiDef and three dimensions
>>55770615How long does he take to charge
>>55769942I'd love this
>>55739035Every game that isn't frlg, emerald, or the gamecube games lets you trade eggs faster than gen 4.
>>55750095Kino.
>>55739035Reminder that only a monster installs malware on his bro.
>>55769964it’s cause porygon-z and rotom are from sinnoh right. im sure legends jirachi would have metagross
>>55769964>use up valuable spaceIt was always going to have the full Sinnoh dex.
Porygon 3 > Poryshit Z
>>55773620Uh oh... who made him mad?
>>55769964To be fair, the Porygon line is only found in distorsions so they literally came from the future, just like the player. Plus seeing the dex entries and the professor having no idea how Porygon is alive is funnyRotom and its appliances is a weird case
>>55769942That implies that someone won't bring a Rotom from another region and have them breed in Kanto just so they can justify a Rotomdex.
>>55749086Thanks dudeYou know I always thought about making a blog or a few vids to show people old computers/equipment and how to get it working if they buy their own. And modern usages.
You should give it a try. See if you enjoy it! :)
>>55774040
>>55739035I casually found a shiny porygon in my arceus playthrough in my first storm. This adorable motherfucker became one of my favourite pokemon. They need to be available earlier on in games. >>55740401Tetris.

>>55739157>banned anime episode>electric rat #1 causes the seizure color pattern>Porygon is blamed>seizure inducing rat becomes globally beloved mascot of the entire franchise for 25 years and counting
>>55783427Depends how hot it is
>>55739035Luv this nigga like you wouldn't believe
>>55783096Cute head boop
>>55784590Almost looks like one of those balloon animals
>>55788125So cool!
>>55739035I need demonic looking Porygon's with six fingers and two rows of teeth.
>>55792929Such a 90s vibe
>>55770314The sounds more like a regional form. Like if Silph Co made an attempt at a shitty low-budget variation of Porygon that never caught on in its home country, but ended up being so popular in, I dunno, Poke-Brazil that it's considered the normal form down there and even had region-exclusive expansions.
>>55795566I honestly like that idea
Underappreciated, but stupid evolutions.
>>55796799why do you say that?
>>55748030Yes :3
>>55796799I don't get how can people say this shitI seen alot of people go "oh i like the line but X RUINS it"Bro, they're all fantastic designsPorygon-Z haters truly have no soul
>>55774040The appliances were also implicitly brought in by the time/space distortions.
>>55741498Have to cool the servers that keep it running.
>>55753610For the price of one Porygon you could buy 10 Magikarps and build yourself a Gyarados army.
>>55802641I don't like most post-original evos. Johto feels a connected sequel, but every other post-original-game evolution feels tacked on and a space filler. When they started with Mega junk, from my perspective the creativity of designs was going downhill.I can respect somebody not liking 2 or Z. I do like Porygon alone, and I don't feel it necessary to evolve every single monster. I think that you could have Porygon forms work like Rotom. Porygon Z was during Shinou, which came with a bunch of ugly new evolutions, but I actually like Porygon-Z and the Shinou natives. Froslass is one of the only other post-original evos that I think works well from that game.
>>55753610I think the poster messed up, or didn't use the in-game logicIn gen I, Porygon is 9999 coins at the casino, not 9999¥You can buy 50 coins for 1000¥, so 9999 coins for Porygon would be about 200*1000¥ = 200000¥So your $67 are off by a factor of 200: $13400
>>55805798Tea party!
>>55803557that might just be the price for third-party distributors. or, alternatively, it's an arcade so of course the ticket prices for prizes are scamsthat being said, Silph Co. can charge any price they want, they have a monopoly on the product. my headcanon is $1,749.99.
>>55803029But... no Porygon then...
>>55806192Rocket is giving Porygon, not Silph.How Silph commercialized Porygon is not clarified.
>>55803557Porygon was only 9990 coins in Red version. In Blue, it was 6500.
>>55746714I used a Porygon 2 in Gold one time at he was the true MVP
>>55809795Nta, but I completely forgot about this.

>>55803557>In gen I, Porygon is 9999 coins at the casino, not 9999¥In Blue it's 6,500 coins though,
>>55739035Based Polygonbro
>>55809885Do you remember the moveset you gave your Porygon2?
>>55739035Porygon is the starter in a romhack called Kanlara Adventures. The game kinda sucks, though
>>55739035Speaking of porygon eggs I managed to trade a foreign ditto on bw2 and got a shiny on the first egg! Love the little guy!
>>55813389Lucky! Congrats anon!
>>55816162IMPOSTER!
I like Porygon, really cool concept. maybe they could have done more with it>>55766193Why would a bird become a lion though?
>>55745778>don't mind me, just pirating this pokemon
>>55766193like many (not all) of the spaceworld mons, it's mogged by what we actually got. P2 is the perfect "sequel" to porygon
porygon z is fucking garbagewe need an alt final evo with proygon 3
>>55773620thank god they decided to give him his own eyes to reflect how he's different than anything with those eyes
