Description Well if it isn't another ability strip. How novel.

Actually, for a long time I've wanted to make something out of the Trace ability, while also
giving Porygon some screentime. I did, however, never decide on an ability to run with. Then
Craig emailed me his Rough Skin suggestion, and after throwing the idea back and forth, we
reached a satisfying agreement, which we hope will please the rest of you lot too.

Any likelyness between this update and earlier strips is a complete coincidence and should
be ignored entirely. Something that is also a complete coincidence is that both Porygon and
Druddigon share colors and name endings, which too should be ignored entirely.

if there isn't a pokemon with "smooth design" porygon is kinda fucked, until you use that data/trade thinguie again (i hate porygon for that reason).

Soriyns-Knight In reply to Bunny-Kirby [2013-12-09 02:06:44 +0000 UTC]

Porygon2 always had a sort of rubber duck vibe going on, that I just didn't find too appealing. Porygon-Z is cool though.

Cobaltblue144 [2012-09-16 04:45:03 +0000 UTC]

That is adorable!!!!
The thing I love most about it is the computer symbols above Porygon2's head. I notice that most people who draw a Porygon's emotions just make it like a normal Pokemon with thought bubbles, or even like a robot when it's really a computer. You did very good. I favorite!

I personally find Porygon-Z better then both porygon and porygon2.
I just don't like the design(s) of the first two evolutions...

Acrceus just messes up everything. Mew is supposed to have the DNA of ALL POKEMON.But Arceus is supposed to be the first pokemon, and the creature of the rest.

Coincidences between submissions and Porygon2's unfortunate situation aside, this is another great day-brightener! I appreciate this description's informativeness helping satisfy my curiosity regarding the inspiration behind all of these clever strips. I always look forward to see some *Bummerdude in my inbox!
