Porygon and Porygon2

Description

I don't recall who mentioned this but it really struck me as a challenge to try making porygon look a little more like something truly realistic.  I always viewed porygon as a duck-like creature at least in shape but the rest is explained below:

Porygon, the virtual pokemon, has a rough edged exterior reminiscent of old style software.  He is not sleek in appearance and is somewhat clunky in its movement, slow to the draw but strong and sturdy all the same.  Its movement is brought about through polarized magnetization and his limbs are attached to the form by electrical charge energy (sort of like a plasma ball) which grants it a little more mobility than it would have without it.  All screens are TTL and have green and amber phosphors to provide text and the guise of expressions, however, porygon lacks true expression and generally scans its surroundings as opposed to actually observing them as a normal pokemon would.  They are considered noisy pokemon as well, the front panel holding a host of fans that keep the inner hardware cool when in use; as the fans get more wear and if they are not cleaned regularly the hum increases and can actually overheat the porygon unit.  Considered a pokemon that can access cyberspace it requires a plug-in which allows it this access.  Once in cyberspace porygon will follow the owner's desires and act on its owner's behalf making it far more capable of debilitating damage in code than in reality, even having the ability to create viruses that can destroy whole computer systems.  

Porygon2 is the updated, more mobile version of porygon.  Capable of free range of motion via tesla coil style antigravity 'wings' porygon2 can move faster and create more lasting physical damage while remaining as sturdy as its predecessor.  This pokemon is made of a smooth steel alloy structure while its hardware is all located in the head making it smaller than porygon and lighter.  Its exterior is formed of a synthetic fiber that provides protection from tarnish and weather corrosion of the inner workings while also allowing the hardware to remain cool without the aid of fans.  Porygon2 is also progressive with the removal of all external devices and the placement of camera lenses for eyes that allow the owner of the porygon to record all pokemon encounters or incidents for review at a later time via wireless transfer.  Porygon2 is also fixed with wireless charge as the exterior also acts as solar panels absorbing sunlight and feeding the unit energy; its tail shelters an antenna that is used to replace the plug-in device used to access cyberspace but also giving the owner of porygon2 the accessibility of their own personal wifi hot spot when needed.

I'll admit, I'm not keen about making Porygon a straight-up robot. However, you truly nailed the "artificial life-form" aspect with Porygon2 and for that, you get my fave! =)
