It's made of computer data and manifesting into the real world. If anything it should be electric type since it's made of codes and bits and bytes. It would be the only Cyber type if that type existed.

When I was a kid, I used to think that Porygon was an eraser because of its colors.

i feel like theyre discussing the pokemons mind/soul/conciousness in the pokedex entries. I know its a game but porygons body is obviously just a vessel. When they talk about it travelling through cyberspace i presume they mean when they plug porygon into a laptop via usb

To enter cyberpsace, it physically changes itself back into data

nah bro i don't think so.
the pokemon world already has the tech to change physical matter into data and back again, no reason they couldn't just start with the data and make it physical.

Disintegrating Pokémon into data, confining them in a miniature holographic environment, and then reconfiguring them back into their original size and biology at a moment's notice is so fucking far beyond the realm of realism that even most science fiction would balk at it.

It's basically the opposite of storing Pokemon in PC's.
They start physical, get turned into data, and then are changed back to be physical when withdrawn. None of them become electric or steel type. They're just the way they were before.
Porygon just skips the first step. It was made of data from scratch and then withdrawn into the real world.

Maybe Porygon-Z. They're basically the erratic, virus-ridden knock-off. If the lore was it got infected with Pornhub emails, I'd believe it.

Porygon-Z are Porygon 2s that were modified to travel between dimensions and became affected by an outside dimension's influence and gained rudimentary sapience. They're not knock-offs or virus ridden.

あやしいパッチ
Ayashi patch

Alll "ayashi" means, really, is 'suspicious.' What's suspicious about it isn't clear, exactly – is the creator unknown? Possibly, since if it was Silph they would probably take credit for it. Unless someone leaked it, which makes it, you guessed it, suspicious. Is the purpose unknown? Maybe, but the Pokedex implies we know a little bit about its intended purpose. But it got messed up. By who? Unknown. Why release it anyways? Unknown.

Hence... "suspicious" patch.
