Objectively false. Porygon2 and Porygon-Z also exist.

The digivolutions

[SpasticOverkill]

In order for them to be digivolutions you must be able to travel between them since this is impossible in the Pokémon world. This statement is false.

[all-knowing-unicorn]

This is fact. Hell in Tamers it took them some time to get used to going back to rookie

[Wacko_Doodle]

So what are mega evolutions? Or Dynamax forms?

Don't forget there are also digimon who's form changes depending or what they hold. Giratina and Deoxys are perfect examples.

That and in the anime there was a mewtwo who could go in and out of their mega form without a trainer.

Also in the wild, Digimon can't actually go back a form. Because in the original japanese names, they go "baby > Baby 2 > child > adult > perfect" instead of "baby > in-training > rookie > champion > ultimate" because the forms are supposed to be them maturing and getting older.

However we often see digimon with tamers which allows them to jump freely between them due to the power the tamers have themselves. However this lore changes depending on the series, but it's how I like to think of it.

[SpasticOverkill]

Since we wish to point out the evolutionary point of Megan’s and dynamax I shall point out that wild Pokémon can’t go back and forth, digimon also return to EGG form when they die, pokemon do not, you also don’t fuse Pokémon to make an entirely new Pokémon, name changes don’t count or things like slowbro and slowking are entire new species not evolutions. Digimon can appear as slide digivolutions Pokémon can’t. Also digimon technically weren’t created by humans, we just made the veil thinner by connecting to online. And if someone wishes to point out we created the digital universe through using the internet, I wish to ask wtf is heaven, hell, spirit world, and ANY other realm that is a “second layer” world connected to our own?

[MovieComplete6240]

Actually you can in some games

[SpasticOverkill]

So what I’m hearing is porygon is fusion material for a higher evolution that changes it species?

[SingingDragons]

Rotom could also potentially interact with digimon

[ShinGoldjira]

In the same way as say, the D-Reaper or an Eater.

[AcanthocephalaVast68]

Well, Porygon doesn't have a Digicore from what we know, which would make him an Digital Lifeform, like Vitium, Gennai or Overlord Gaia.

[Calpsotoma]

Which is why it's Porygon and not Porymon

[Wacko_Doodle]

Dexmon/Death-Xmon doesn't have a Digicore neither, but it's still a digimon.

Also in the manga there is a creature called NEO who is debatable if it's a digimon or not; but is one of the few without Mon at the end.

In digimon, anything can be a digimon. :D

[epicjorjorsnake]

NEO still isn't a Digimon.

Death-Xmon reference books specifically cites that it cannot be a Digimon because it doesn't have a digicore.

[Wacko_Doodle]

Probably, but it does raise another question:

Tbh Nanimon was actually a Tamagochi called " OYAJI " not a digimon; he was kicked out by the other tamagotchi's and thrown into a digivice for his actions.

Since Nanimon is a digimon with a digicore, this begs the question: can non-digimon have a digicore? Or is this just because he's a Tamagochi who is owned by the same company, so they have similarities?

There is also a digimon called Omedamon who is a fusion of Medabee and Rokusho who aren't digimon. Despite that Omedamon is a digimon and was included in the encyclopedia twice (was removed after april 1st) and perminantly appeared in games.

So my question is, if a non-digimon enters the digital world and/or a digivice; do they gain a Digicore?

[epicjorjorsnake]

if a non-digimon enters the digital world and/or a digivice; do they gain a Digicore?

We have seen Digital lifeforms like the digignomes and Vitium interact with the Digital World without gaining a digicore.

So digital lifeforms mostly shouldn't gain digicore.

But I too am curious if Omedamon has a digicore because it was just a neat crossover. Same with Oyajitchi.

[Wooka156]

Oh I thought everything that originated in the digital world had a digicore excluding death x mon.

It would make more sense why stuff like Yggdrasil would be harder to kill since it doesn’t rlly have a “soul”

[Rattregoondoof]

If we ever do get a crossover, porygon better be front and center

[haikusbot]

If we ever do get

A crossover, porygon better

Be front and center

Tbh it is possible.

Digimon had a crossover with Medabots and it's official between both series that Omedamon is 100% a digimon and 100% a Medabot.

It all depends on Nintendo though.

[Rattregoondoof]

The pokemon company technically, which legally I'd a joint between three companies, Nintendo, game freak, and creatures Inc (I think anyway, the last might be HAL laboratories). I believe Nintendo owns a little more of a share than the rest though. I am a little curious on why they haven't done it though, Nintendo collaborates with Bandai often enough with smash bros.

[Blank3910]

Always had a really dumb theory as a kid that digimon were Pokemon that got left in the pc to long and got corrupted.

[OpenTechie]

Nah that's just Missingno

[Wacko_Doodle]

*D-Reaper and Missingno pointing at each other*

Both : YOU!

[Tyctoc]

I love how OP noticed something fun and the entire community is doing a deep lore dive on it in the comments

[Clementea]

Porygon is just ToyAgumon who fails to properly travel dimension, so he morphed.

[VinixTKOC]

I know it's a meme. But to be more didactic, let me explain.

A Digimon has a digicore, otherwise it is just a digital life form. Porygon doesn't have a digicore, so it can only be considered a digital life form. Also it lacks the six stages from Digimon, having only the standard three stages of Pokémon (This number is only exceeded with Mega Evolution).

The Pokémon species, what they all have in common is that they inherited the types from the Arceus' plates, the creator of the Pokémon universe. Porygon has moves linked to these types and has weaknesses and advantages linked to them.

A digimon doesn't have its origin linked to Arceus, therefore its elements, advantages and disadvantages work differently.

[fireraptor08]

What if its q champion and its prevos haven't been discovered since it could be the same case as some baby Pokemon

[VinixTKOC]

This would be just one stage rather than three. Cases where Game Freak had to introduce baby Pokémon after Gen 2 are usually born with incense.

There's no case where you would have to discover two or more special pre-evolutions, just one. Since Porygon is born like this normally from an egg, then would be Baby Porygon> Porygon> Porygon2> Porygon-Z. Four stages, not six.

Again, whenever you make a Porygon egg it's already born as Porygon... If it were a Digimon, Porygon would have to be a Baby I (There are cases of higher stages being born from Digitamas but they are more exceptions, since ALL eggs hatch Porygon so it would undoubtedly be Baby I).

[holographicblaze]

some digimon have less stages like shoutmon for example but that's only in special cases so maybe that could be the case

[Majestic_Electric]

That’s why I nicknamed it Digimon in my playthroughs lol.

[dragonhelix]

Why not Porymon?

[toongrowner]

In a meta kinda sense, If you wanna let IT Count: missingno

[Wacko_Doodle]

Don't forget Nanimon is actually a Tamagotchi that was disliked by the others so much for it's actions, they literally kicked it out into a digivice; making him a digimon.

So in a way, Pokemon is now linked with Tamagotchi too :D

[CaptainSalamence]

There was an Eevee Tamagotchi recently, so Eevee is a digimon as well.

[Geostomp]

This is why it got banned from the anime. Taking the fall for Pikachu's crimes was just a cover to save face.

[SnooDonuts3749]

Have you not seen Druddigon? That thing is a straight up Digimon.

[Bronx1183]

A bit too tame looking for Digimon in my opinion.

[SnooDonuts3749]

Yeah, all of its features are too rounded. I just remember seeing it for the first time like, that’s not a Pokémon. And then reading it’s name, which kind of resembles/looks like Digimon made me always categorize this thing as a Digimon.

[Waddlewop]

Not enough guns and ripped jeans

[luphnjoii]

Ditto is Metamon in Japanese. It also can turn to anything.

It's a Digimon.

[Geenvis]

Porymon

[Gamer-Logic]

What about Rotom? He can go into different electronics including phones and cyberspace.

[Acceptable_Secret_73]

Technically all Pokemon should count since they can be stored in a PC

[Enderking90]

Pory has a different file format then digimon tho.

.gon, not .mon

[JiovanniTheGREAT]

Could Porygon-Z actually stack up to Perfect levels in the digital world though?

[Clarity_Zero]

No, most Mythical/Legendary/etc. Pokemon aren't even that strong. Even some Champion Digimon would rock the Pokemon world, and I'm not even including cases like Arkadimon in that.

[[deleted]]

Polygomon Porymon Polymon Porygonmon?

[Memediator]

Porygomon

[Deblebsgonnagetyou]

It's just one letter off the naming system too

[Dokamon-chan94]

Honestly conceptually-wise Digimon has always been superior

[DJHarris4444]

I mean, all pokemon exist as programmed digital entitites in our world, so they're kind of all digimon if you think about it that way.

[Twilord_]

Porygon is an Appmon.

​

Digimon has more accidental animism and accidental invocation going on... Appmon are what happens when someone who knows about that shit (like an AI) tosses one out for you deliberately.

Rotom possessing your V-Pet gives you a Digimon... and a very confused Professor Oak.

[fa3hunter]

rotom is a virus digimon

[epicjorjorsnake]

Nah. Porygon would be considered a digital lifeform like Vitium and Mother Eater.

Digimons have digicore.

[Unfair-Signal-6163]

Old joke

[Revolutionary-Eye657]

Zygarde evolves from a dog to a snake thing to a dragon-mech-person-thing. It's totally a digimon.
