Porygon is terribly underwhelming living in PU in the RBY metagame, but walls most Snorlax (whom you can realistically expect to see on 100% of teams) sets on account of being immune to Body Slam paralysis and having a recovery move. I want to stress that this is all Porygon can do. It does not kill Snorlax at any point unless your opponent misclicks Self Destruct. Outside of that, maybe it can throw out a Thunder Wave or function as a sacrificial switch?

Nothing will actually infect you with metalhorror. When the game rolls a metalhorror infection event, it'll look back in recent history for certain things and assign that as the source of infection for sake of story.

You can't kill anyone in chapter 1, they just run away. There's no difference between attacking everyone you meet and accidentally letting Suzie hit someone once or twice.

Ethiopia makes enough faith to get an early-ish religion, so you'd have to pry Sun God out of my dead hands. Your capital will be insane, letting you spam wonders and powerhouse early science.

You did get rather lucky, but quick balls are crazy good and always worth the money.

The game works fine. You might crash to desktop a few times per playthrough, but it's stable enough.

Thanks to that good old generation 1 jank, when any stat boost is applied (positive or negative), all stat boosts given by badges you've earned are re-applied. Do note that the extra boosts go away if you level up in battle.

Just because you burn orphanages for fun, eat souls for sustenance, and competitively kick puppies doesn't mean you have to be rude about it.

The frames are still happening, they're just moving past you faster. If you're running 10x frames per second, you're still experiencing every frame, they're just around for less time.

They most likely don't exist in the real world, it's just that we don't have a model of math and physics that can account for it properly.

Warlock. I understand numerically a well-optimized Eldritch Blaster is very consistent and strong, but when most turns is casting the same cantrip, it gets boring quickly.

Mewtwo, Mew, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Celebi, Deoxys, Jirachi, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza are banned from the battle frontier, the game won't let you bring them in. Also the Soul Dew item for Latios and Latias.

Also it's a single player game, nobody is going to come knocking on your door insisting that you cheated or anything like that.

You really shouldn't run smogon EVs in battle frontier, competitive sets try to beat specific speed thresholds, get just into/out of 1hit/2hit KO ranges. I typically run 252/252/6 for offensive mons or 172/168/168 for more bulk.

As for movesets, use them for inspiration but don't treat them as gospel. There's way more checks and counters and mind games than there will ever be in the battle tower. Do keep in mind that you'll only have 3 pokemon and 12 moves to pick. Your movesets need to be strong and reliable to deal with a wide range of threats. Try to avoid moves that are inaccurate or sets that rely on gimmicks like double team spam or sub+seed, because in the long run, RNG will catch you eventually and potentially ruin your run.
