So why is Porygon considered a Pokémon but not this thing?

Clembot was built to train and Clemont has ethics to not put a Pokémon or person's soul in the thing.

Porygon was likely built from converting Pokémon DNA into computer code or some shit.

Porygon has a physical body.

"A robot is a machine—especially one programmable by a computer— capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically."

Porygon is a robot and the card you posted says so too.

I always thought Porygon was very advanced sentient AI in a chunky robotic host body and each upgrade updates it's OS to take advantage of new abilities of its host body and it physically switches out its parts for more advanced pieces.

That's just a robot with AI. Porygon was created using the biological structure of pokémon species as a base. That's why it can be caught in a pokéball like other pokémon, and unlike regular objects.

Because Clembot is an android?, made to be in the image and act like a HUMAN and not a pokemon.

I do find it interesting that(to my knowledge) Porygon is the only "modern"" man-made Pokemon(there are several "industrial" inorganic Pokemon like Magnemite and Klink, but they are not stated to be created by humans) where there are several "ancient" ones(Like Claydol and Golurk). Why hasn't an evil team programmed a "virus" or saboteur Pokemon that they can train to mess with electrical systems?

Didn't that Galactic dude make Rotom?

Quoted By:

Porygon is revolutionary because they made something artificial that also met all of the requirements of a Pokemon, whatever those are. A better comparison is Magearna, who even the games note barely qualifies as a Pokemon. The Soul Heart, the ball of energy that controls Magearna, is actually a Pokemon without a physical form. Magearna only "counts" as a Pokemon because of it's a Pokemon controlling a robot, like the Rotom forms.

Originally I was thinking that Rotom could only enter appliances with motors in them(plus a specially designed Pokedex) but I suppose on second thought that it could work.

In my headcanon Pokemon like Voltorb, Magnemite, Grimer, Klink, Trubbish were born spontaneously out of machinery and waste, they are just an accidental byproduct of human civilizations.
Ancient artificial Pokemon were most likely created by ancient civilizations with techniques whose knowledge as been lost long time ago to serve as guardians or servants.
The only Pokemon directly created by humans and with a purpose are Porygon, Mewtwo, Castform, Type:Null, Magearna and partly Genesect.

I've thought about this too

How do MAKE a Pokemon? How did humans apparently know how to create Pokemon for hundreds of years? What are the ETHICS behind creating Pokemon? It's kinda fucked up that people can even make their own Pokemon, right?

Different anon. Clarify for me, code itself is then definable as a robot? Porygon is literally nothing but computer code, its ability to take a physical form is something that could only apply in the Pokémon world, as for something like that to happen you would literally need to enter code in a computer until the code managed to affect the actual universe itself and not just placed into a machine, since Porygon is only described as code itself and not “code that has entered into a robot someone built.”
That can also be defined as a robot? Or did I miss something?
