*What are Virtuamon?
Virtuamon were originally a line of Pokémon raising simulation toys aimed at young children who could not train their own Pokémon. A series of fake Pokémon were developed for these toys, but their popularity eventually drove a subsidiary of Silph Co. to buy out the Virtuamon company and bioengineer some of the more popular Virtuamon. While all Virtuamon were designed with a specific type in mind, it seems that something in the bioengineering process altered this.
