Porygon is a wonderful Pokémon. It is shaped like a friend and I love it very much. Unfortunately, Porygon is largely ignored by Pokémon fans because it's not as useful as other 'mon in battle.

In this thread, post pictures of Porygon, Porygon-2 and PorygonZ, discuss this adorable cyberduck and RP as trainers who own Porygons.

Porygon 2 and Z are both used fairly often.

Thank you Z-moves.

>>31078255
Eviolite Porygon is one of the premier tanks in LC too. Basically all 3 members of the family are viable. Even Porygon-Z was S-Tier in Smogon's viability ranking for 1v1 in Gen 6 before all the Z-moves.

I hate how Porygon 1 is the best looking version of him. I hate smooth, improved graphics duck.

i'm sad the original is still a shitmon. Thought he was the coolest shit in Red and he's still my favorite design of the 3.

It would've been neat if Z incorporated designs of both since it's all glitchy. Is there any feasible way in which this guy could get a regional variant?

Is Porygon's 3D model XY onwards the one with the least polygons? And if yes, is it be technically the least demanding performancewise to display on screen? Like you can have 20 Porygons on screen and the framerate on 3DS would still be better than a single jellyfish Lusamine

I agree. I really liked the concept. While I get Porygon2's design, it feels like it ruins it.

Is the Porygon line one of the few evolutionary lines where every single member (Original, 2 and Z) are all competitively viable in some capacity?

I don't know. I've never owned a Porygon because until X I was a FILTHY CASUAL, and in that game as well as OR I never managed to get one. I understand that in S&M you get one for free when you finish the game.

A lot of people say 2 is better than Z, but how can a Pokémon be better than it's evolution since Pokémon get stronger when they evolve by the very nature of the mechanic?

Gift Porygon in Platinum was great. Porygon2 evolves late, but still works out until it does, and Porygon-Z is just so fun to use.

a shame porygon is banned from anime because it also prevents him from being used by major characters in the games

porygon-2/Z would make for a fantastic capstone pokemon for a normal type gym leader/E4

I wonder what could fit for another porygon iteration

maybe a "corporate response to porygon-z" version with extremely high defenses, a special "firewall" ability that blocks status effects and similar but with a pathetic speed stat?

I just watched Electric Soldier Porygon. It's actually Pikachu's Thunderbolt that blows up the missiles and causes the effect that induced those seizures. This happens around 17:10 not including the intro.

yeah, but even with that in mind pikachu isn't at fault either. throwing out tbolts is kind of what it does in response to everything. the person at fault is the idiot art director who decided that cybernetic explosions needed to be seizure-colored.

Remember, Porygon died for your sins.

If it started abusing the shit out of conversion as in being able to convert to the best resisting/immune type before an attack hits this thing would be invincible.

a fight with ash would probably start out with it vs pikachu, turning itself into ground type to tank the thunderbolt/electro ball, then probably winning with either a tri attack or maybe even something like turning pikachu into a water type and launching a zap cannon straight at it (its anime, making conversion act both in the 1 and 2 way wouldn't be all that strange)

then he'd have to use something more unorthodox, probably ending it by tricking the porygon (probably z) to turn itself into a type weak to the coverage move he's been trying to teach the pokemon of the week

It just depends on what job needs to be done. Porygon2 is an excellent tank, while Porygon-Z loses its bulkiness in exchange for a huge special attack. It's really just your preference
