wait holy fuck

my whole fucking life i've gone "porygon doesn't make sense. like i buy that they programmed a pokemon but programs don't have physical form"

fucking

pokemon and items can be stored as data in the pc. technology is amazing

did they just store another pokemon in the pc and hex edit it into porygon

@IceWolf @monorail there's literally a guy in the starting town of every pokemon game who comments on how amazing technology is

@Felthry @monorail Ooookay I am uh just going to run as far away from Pokémon as I can then. >,,>

philosophy/triggers shit 

@Felthry @monorail so it like copies you into the PC and you're stored as data, right?

so it's a copy-you-and-kill-the-original-you situation.

/Happening all the time/.

re: philosophy/triggers shit 

@IceWolf @monorail there's no indication that any copying is going on

re: philosophy/triggers shit 

@Felthry @monorail Aren't you copied /in/, then copied back /out/?

re: philosophy/triggers shit 

@IceWolf @monorail We've always thought of it more like a portal situation

re: philosophy/triggers shit 

@Felthry @monorail Ohhh okay that's good to hear.

/Very/ different than being stored as data!

re: philosophy/triggers shit 

@IceWolf @monorail i mean you are stored as data?

re: philosophy/triggers shit 

@Felthry @monorail Theeeen that's still a problem because you're still copied in right?
