I'm wondering how Porygon can excest in the MD series. What do you think?




sorry about the spelling.

This sounds a little farfetched (no pun intended), but I think that the PMD world exists after the human race's demise. Which is why you can still find supposedly manmade Pokemon, such as Castform and Porygon.

But it's just a theory.
 
This topic's been up before but its been awhile...

...though I think it only rose from the "Where does the MD world take place" question and probably not its own thread.

I still think its a separate dimension and man-made Pokemon like Mewtwo, Porygon and Castform exist naturally there. However in the Human-Pokemon world, the idea poped into peoples heads basically because of a rift in dimensions that brought the ideas into people's minds.

I think in the Pokemon franchise, there would be like three plains of existance overlapping each other in the same space, the Human Dimension (Probably where the Pokemon card videogame takes place) the Pokemon dimension and the Human-Pokemon dimension in between the two. Basically the ideas from one plain of existance seeps into another plain but in a different form.
 
Or to simplify (or not) that theory, the world in mystery dungeon is a world INSIDE the one of the games.

As in, more like a sealed realm in it or whatever. Human-made things exist there becouse they come from "outside" as concepts that take form in the world. So the concept of a pokemon like porygon existing also happens in the mystery dungeon world.

They also know of humans, so probably the pokemon there know about outside of the mystery dungeon world. And the protagonist knows what a pokemon is, yet doesn't know of the world, so he/she comes from a world with pokemon. Probably the one of the main games.
 
Well, I think humans exist.

The main character (you) in both games is a human that has been turned into a pokemon. So, we know that humans exist, so of course man-made pokemon will exist as well.

As for where and how humans exist in this world, and how they interact with pokemon in this world, I haven't really given it that much thought.
 
Actually thinking over it again... it could be that the Mystery Dungeon World are actually just another two regions (sorta like Orre) but somewhat isolated from humans. However, humans have to exist and have interacted with at least the one of the first (see: Ninetales legend)
 
I think it's that the MD world is another region (like Kanto, Johto, etc) but there's no humans in this region. I can't explain how Porygon got there though.

EDIT: What the post above me said...

Pretty clever, but in PMD2, you're a human from the future.

Maybe PMD1 takes place after PMD2?

Or it could be another region, or maybe universe...
 
Parallel universe seems the best bet to me. While the anime mentioned early on that pokemon and regions were just being discovered, this seems ignored in most of the rest of canon. And, since the games mention real-world locations in the dex and otherwise, there is some evidence that the main pokemon world is closely modeled after our world.

And, given that the main character, as a human, was transported between dimensions, I don't see why pokemon could as well. Besides, Unown live in a different universe entirely (a Johto ep I believe) and enter the anime universe at their own will.

Another option could be that MD is a game within the canon setting - who says that it has to be a parallel universe? However, I don't think this is the case because there was a connection in the beginning between humans. If it were an in-game game, it probably wouldn't have done that, though I admit it could've. However, in general that's considered a rather poor choice for starting video games in this world after all these years of video games and I would think that the pokemon universe wouldn't be any different.

Castform isn't manmade, is it?

no it isnt manmade it is just used by humans and shes probably right
 
quick question, just to get a little off topic here maybe...besides mewtwo and porygon what other pokemon were "man-made" in the series? (just from reading above i thought castform was as well?)
 
I'm in favor of the parallel universe theory. In the MD universe, it's natural, but in the mainstream, it needed to be created.
 
Maybe the Mystery Dungeon World is a different dimension tied to Orre, and all the Pokèmon from Orre went there (Why? Scared of by Cipher I guess), thus the mad-made ones exists and there are no wild Pokèmon left in Orre (Which has a freaking forest completely devoid of any type of animal OR insect life...)
 
My theory goes a little something like this...PMD2 is a sequel to PMD1, and Grovyle is your PMD1 partner Treecko. Somehow, the human from PMD1 managed to turn into a human while in the PMD1 world. So the timeline is a little like this:

Humans, no Pokemon Era
Pokemon-Humans coexist
APOCALYPSE HOW: Humans wiped out
PMD2
PMD1
Either "future" of PMD2

So, a human from the Second Era was sent forward in time to save the PMD1 universe. As a result of this, he met Treecko. After SHIT HAPPENS, Treecko evolves into a Grovyle. But then Darkrai appears and attacks Primal Tower (which is in the air, so you can't see it in PMD1). The human, who is now a human, and his partner Grovyle see this happening and go back in time to find a way to stop Primal Dialga from going crazy. Human turns back into a Pokemon again, and you know the rest. =D
 
because mystery dungeon is a spin-off and thus doesn't follow the same canon as the mainstream games.
 
True. The Porygons might not be computer related in that world.
 
Simple. All Pokemon-based universes have several required events. So It is like an infinite number of waving series of connected dots, with several dots used by all.
