  • Applies to particular members: Polygon Man (Base), Lord Vyce (Z)

• Opposed by: Homer Simpson (2)
• Porygon was created "20 years ago" (some time before Red's adventures) at the Pokémon Lab on Cinnabar Island using the latest state-of-the-art technology of its time. While more ancient Artificial Pokémon have since been discovered, Porygon is the first to have ever been created through computer programming. It's evolution Porygon2 was the result of it being upgraded from the most cutting-edge technology available at the time of its inception. Compared to Porygon just following directives, Porygon2 is artificially intelligent and capable of learning new behaviors on its own, including information it does not need to know. It can also speak a strange language only other Porygon2 can understand.
• When it comes to blame, due to many different reasons, mainly from the impulsiveness of the media industry and the fanbase, the one logically responsible doesn't always take the (deserved) fall. Sometimes, someone else is remembered as "responsible", even long after the truth is discovered. Enter the story of the episode "Electric Soldier Porygon". Or as many know it, the "seizure episode". Due to a flashing strobe effect present at several points of the episode, more than 600 children in Japan had to be transferred to hospitals by ambulance because of seizure-like symptoms they reported. As a direct result of this, the show entered a four-month hiatus, and measures were made to ensure that this tragedy never happens again. Due to its debut there, and because the mascot Pikachu cannot take blame (despite technically being the one who caused it in-universe), Porygon has been marked responsible and not only has it never made a major appearance in the animé since then, its evolutions also suffered the same "lack-of-major-role" stigma.
• The Porygon line are one of the more introverted Pokémon, due to a mix of their position as The Scapegoat, and partially their unique status as a Living Program. They tend to hang out with Rotom as it is a Virtual Ghost like themselves, and Blue since in one universe he has the line on his team. The OG Porygon gets along with Cofagrigus since it pities the Pokemon's Scunthorpe Problem, comparing its difficulties with trading one not nicknamed to the whole drama that led Porygon to not show up in the anime again. Given the seizure incident its line is foes with anyone who causes seizures, like Jeice and Burter for the Seizure Procedure. Its evolution Porygon2 is Sitcom Arch-Nemesis with Homer Simpson; it reminds him of the drinking bird that screwed up doing his job for him. 2 points out he's to blame for being a lazy idiot, which has only further annoyed Homer.
• It is not known when the Porygon line first made it to the Pantheon, but an associate of Ash Ketchum wondered why he and his friends (plus the Team Rocket trio) we're given a lifetime ban from cyberspace and researched the answer. They found Porygon lurking in cyberspace, and offered them a spot in the Pantheon. Despite learning what trope they were going to ascend for, the line accepted it;, there was a little… glitch during the ascension ceremony, however. The line's ascension was welcomed by the crew of the Nebuchadnezzer, who treated it as a valuable being in protecting virtual reality and not a pariah. Neo personally offered the original Porygon a spot as his partner to protect the Matrix and dispel its bad reputation. The digital Pokémon jumped at the opportunity.
• This glitch was due to the third stage evolution of Porygon; Porygon-Z. Through an unauthorized mod of the Dubious Disc, a Pokemon intended to travel through alien dimensions shows erratic, glitchy behavior and twitchy movements that make it difficult to work with for research. Z is the one Pokemon who is closer to the Glitch Entity Missingno than any other, due to their nature as "errors in programming". Their friendship struck panic and anger in Lord Vyce, who is convinced that Z could potentially become like the Entity and has sworn to destroy it for that. Dr Insano held a more nefarious interest in the Porygon line, and impersonated the base form's creator in the anime Dr Akihabara; the two both have the same fashion in eyewear. Linkara thwarted this attempt and helped the digital line escape Lord Vyce, and the line remains grateful for the comic book reviewer's help.
  • The buggy Porygon-Z has come to be fond of Monkia due to her ability to glitch and hijack the game, and knowledge on coding; she can protect it from those who'd wish the Living Program harm, and the Virtual Pokemon has a lot of power to offer her. It doesn't seem to fully understand the point of a dating sim, however, given how its line is programmed.
• Due to a glitch in their ascension (perhaps instigated by the GUAE Trollkaiger), base Porygon has a pathological opposition to Pikachu by default, being the actual culprit of the seizures it has taken blame for and which its line has suffered to this very day. However, the evolved Porygons don't really harbor the same animosity, given they've discovered that the real culprit would be the animators who designed the afflicting scenes. Animation director Takayuki Shimura, who animated their debut episode, not only never worked on the main series ever again, he no longer works in animation at all. By extension, any and all deities capable of inducing seizures are enemies by default. That said, they're able to differentiate "base" Pikachu from Detective Pikachu and base Porygon harbors no animosity towards him.
• Despite Porygon's resentment of Ash's Pikachu, it'll team up up with him to thwart the villainous goals of Conal Cochran; he's intrigued by the seizure incident as he intentionally used flashing strobe lights in a children's TV show.
• Due to being made partly for that purpose, Porygon line have an inclination for going into space, particularly 2 and Z. With the option more readily available in the Pantheon, this can become a reality, even though they might not be able to move well in zero-G. As such, they've drawn interest from outer space travelers and the House of Time And Space. While 2 and Z might've failed to measure up in terms of traveling through outer space/alien dimensions, there are those who can help them achieve that and want to update their software to make them capable of achieving those goals. They've become interested in Team Lightyear and want to work with them in order to better explore space.
• Porygon's status as a former follower of Polygon Man had him seek out the Virtual Pokémon and play on its resentment towards Pikachu for his ambitions. It rebuffed his offer and knows his ambitions for it are selfish; plus it doesn't want to get anymore negative attention. Father on the evolutionary line, Porygon-Z's status as an unauthorized mod designed to explore alien dimensions has led the SCP Foundation to research Z's development; they want their own variants on the line to explore technological and extra-dimensional anomalous activity. It would prefer to hang out with Vinny instead, who knows his way around glitches. The modded Z is also interested in other glitchy/buggy figures like the Goat, and Grand Dad for his status as a bootleg game-after all, Porygon-Z could be considered a bootleg evolution of Porygon2.
• Porygon can use Conversion to change its appearance to mimic another Pokémon's (merely not demonstrated well in-game) and has also demonstrated the ability to change color for camouflage. Presumably, its evolutions can do the same. Allegedly, their line has copy protection built into its code, preventing duplication through electronic means. That doesn't stop breeding with Ditto, though, so either it's not that effective, or Ditto is just that good at mimicking others. Porygon2 noted that Kevin Levin's ability to absorb and replicate material was close to its own abilities, and his experience with aliens spoke to 2's desire to be a space farer. So the two teamed up, with the digitized 'mon making sure to protect the computer and other digital devices in his car.
• The Porygon line could be compared to the Tamagotchi given their virtual nature. Ciel personally compares them to Cyber Elves, and has been treating the line with kindness. With Cyber Elf technology they've gained a fair amount of power, but they soon gained the emnity of Dr Weil. There are plenty of reasons to hate him, and Weil hates them as he believes all A.I should be slaves to humanity instead of having a will of their own. As with basically every Pokemon ever the Porygon line hate Pokemon Hunter J and Ghetsis Harmonia. The former considers them particularly rare and worth a lot on the black market, and the latter wants to use them to force PC boxes to release other trainer's Pokemon or hack ownership over to him.
• Being helpful entities that hunt for suspicious data, they've been approached by the GUAG White Hats to help protect cyberspace. Given all the dangerous cyber entities in the Pantheon that desire to bring ruin to it or control it with an iron fist, they accepted the offer. Due to their virtual nature, after joining the White Hats, the Porygon line has harbored interest from the Digimon deities, since they're technically "digital monsters" as well. Amusingly, Porygon's animé debut predates the adventures of the 1999 Chosen Children by 16 months. The line tends to get along more with Digimon than other Pokemon, due to their similar nature. The Porygon line are one of the few out there to be chummy with Numemon and Sukamon, as they sympathize with them not being all that liked and seen as failures.
• The clear comparisons with Digimon has put the line on full alert with the threat of the D-Reaper, along with Diaboromon and Millenniummon. By default any malignant Computer Virus or those who weaponize it is considered the Porygon line's enemy. Some are particularly dangerous; Agent Smith wants to assimilate them in cyberspace to become extensions of himself. Sigma wants to turn them Maverick with the Maverick Virus, which might allow the virus to mutate and transfer over to organic beings in Pokemon Porygon would come in contact with. Then there's SKYNET, who wants to weaponize Porygon into cyber-terminators against humanity's computers and networks.
