"Oh great Lord Obsidian, don't blot out the sun or something."
“Nope! Gonna do it!” They say, putting on a pair of mirror shades.

"Oh great Lord Obsidian, don't blot out the sun or something."
“Nope! Gonna do it!” They say, putting on a pair of mirror shades.
"You have eggs..?"
“I have Chansey eggs!” Polly is quick to show off the carton contents. “Would you like one?”
Why don't you call him lizard brains?
Answering this OOC, because I just don’t feel like Polly OR I have the proper wording to explain this. The lizard brain Polly mentions isn’t an insult, it’s a reference to the basest instincts of the mind. The argument Polly proposes that despite people putting detergent in their mouth, they’re likely not gonna swallow, because if something tastes bad, you are generally gonna spit it out.

Safe for now.
Are Porygon robots or AI?
Porygons are definitely categorized as AI. They’re officially classified as a “virtual pokemon” which means their digitized state supersedes their solid, downloaded state when it comes to classification. The first Porygon was conceived as coding before they put work into giving it a solid form, most likely because as an exploration device, getting all the technical workings of data gathering was most important.
If anything, Porygon might have been intended primarily as an on board AI to a vessel, rather than a scout. Although its evolutions suggest that sending the pokemon off alone was definitely in the cards.
dod you kniw
I had to sit and think about how I wanted to go about Polly being wild. They were always going to be a Porygon piloting a human robot, but the option to have a trainer who had built the android was always there. I felt like there were too many limitations there though, and it would be far less funny. There’s no dumb game of, “Lol yeah, I’m totally human, I love breathing.”
Being a singular abandoned Porygon was also an option, but I don’t exactly know anyone who has actually abandoned a Porygon? Generally you get one, max evo it, and it lives in your box forever. I also don’t feel like breaking out of PC storage is truly an option, there would be steps taken against that. I still don’t quite get how Alola’s system works in regards to that.
So, I went with the mill breeder option. Having Polly and their siblings being breeder rejects means they are also 100% wild, as they escaped before they were put into capsules and thus tagged as owned. I feel like even released pokemon still bare that OT data. However, eggs don’t get put in capsules, so there’s that moment of time between hatching and being capsuled where baby pokemon are technically wild.
So Polly has no OT data.
examine! your rotom roommate
Nikola is a melanistic Rotom, so they are extra spooky spectacular. They’re like a pouty, pointy zap jack. Like a dangerous toy from the 60s or something. You don’t recommend touching them, or looking directly at them.
You kind of want to spit Toxic at them again, forcing them to Rest. But that might make this whole situation worse. And now they’ve noticed you staring.
Act cool Look away> Panic
Ah, the best of choices. You pull up a Protect and make yourself as big as possible. That’ll keep you safe for sure. Nikola isn’t impressed.
