>>56049901>let's rip out what had them turn out to be peopleStill not the presented option. The option was that we make things that are powered autonomously have some mind of their own.
Golurks can co-exist. You also seem to hyperfocus on this instead of my option of a telepathic sensor, which would more or less solve this conundrum with all but dark types...
>No that'd be if you consciously decided to continuously tweak the program to optimize for a specific resultSo... Porygon is eugenics, got it.
You constantly iterate over programs to improve them to a specific end result. That's the entire profession of software development.
>And how exactly do the Pokemon who aren't that body type leave?I never said they had to. Though many probably would as the price of goods rose for them, those who are stubborn enough because of how much they've invested in the given community will probably just keep around and work harder to make ends meet. They'd probably even form their own Chinatown-like communities over time.
It's not like they can't have dedicated jobs in such cities either. Obviously most of the bipedal Pokemon can utilize screwdrivers, allowing them to make repairs on otherwise critical infrastructure. Flying Pokemon can help with the mail services. It's just that the city will simply specialize into a certain architecture, and everything else will follow suit.
>To say nothing of having many more factories competing over resources!This has been so far your only valid criticism, but is heavily mitigated by the fact that many Pokemon are infinitely better at excavating ore and harvesting resources than our current day society's capabilities.
Not to mention, dungeons seem like they have infinite resources, so if that holds out true, they don't even live in a proper scarce environment. It probably won't though and it's a gross misunderstanding of how dungeons fill with such loot and material.
>Held itemsYeah, this would probably evolve like that.
