Porygon is a unique Pokémon introduced in Generation I, notable for being the world's first artificial Pokémon. It is a Normal-type Pokémon created through scientific research, specifically designed to operate in cyberspace. Its body is composed of polygonal blocks, giving it a distinctive, geometric appearance. Porygon does not feed in the conventional sense, as it is a program rather than a biological entity, and its behavior is dictated by its programming, which initially allowed for basic motions. It evolves into Porygon2 when traded holding an Up-Grade, and then further into Porygon-Z when traded holding a Dubious Disc. In the games, Porygon is often acquired through special means, such as at the Game Corner, reflecting its artificial nature. In the anime, Porygon is famous for an episode that caused seizures due to flashing lights, leading to its effective ban from future anime appearances. Its existence raises questions about artificial intelligence and the ethics of creating life, making it a fascinating subject within the Pokémon universe. Its unique design and origin story contribute significantly to its cultural significance.
