Porygon Is a man-made Pokémon, the product of extensive research by Silph Co. It consists entirely of programming code, allowing it to move freely in cyberspace. This code is copy protected to prevent duplication. This code is fairly restrictive, limiting Porygon to certain pre-programmed motions, actions, and reactions. As it does not need to breathe, it is used in various environments, even some normally considered inhospitable. In the video games, Porygon is only available as a prize from slot machines. As a result, a large number of people have taken to playing the slots seeking to win a Porygon. These gamblers are especially visible in the towns of Kanto and Johto. Porygon are not available in Hoenn at all. However, Porygon actually run wild in Mr. Backlot's Trophy Garden, found in Sinnoh. The reason for this is that Mr. Backlot, the owner, is so proud of his Trophy Garden that he will often brag about certain Pokémon (like Porygon) living there when they don't. In response to this, his loyal butler actually searches for these Pokémon and releases them into the garden. Porygon is cheaper to obtain in some games than in others.
