Magnezone, Voltorb...

BynineB

Wielding Übersaw.
Do you think Pokemon like Magneton, Voltorb, and Unown are living creatures, with feelings? Or are they robots or something? Magnemite and co seem like robots, but they have a non mechanical looking eye.. explain your thoughts!
 
I see them as possessed inanimate objects, with feelings and personality, of course. The idea of them being genderless helps with that, considering they would lack... certain parts for reproduction, which regular Pokemon would of course have. n.n''

How they still breed with a Ditto beats me, though.
 
Wasn't there an episode where Ash thought a magnemite liked pikachu but all it liked was the electric static?
 
i think that voltorb and electrode are both living and have feelings on account of they get ****** off and blow up. I think that magnazone and co are esentially robots without the ability to think on their on their own. They also apear man made.
 
Hmmm very good question, I'm stumped. But most of the things in the pokemon world don't make sense and I accept that because I don't want to go crazy trying to make sense of it all.
 
raichu- Yes the episode Sparks fly for Magnemite in S1 (Or S2 don't remeber exactly).

I am not really sure, I guess they are living things since they can move and have moods. I think somewhere it explains how a Voltorb came to be in a Pokedex entry but I don't know where. Porygon and its evolution are manmade as well, and apparently Banette came from forgotten dolls (Which I don't think makes much sense, how can it evovle from Shuppet if it's from a doll)

shuppet could have come from the dolls and when evolved they look for their owners but bannetes are ugh
 
Yes, from clips of the Porygon episode, Porygon had the ^.^ eyes. He was happy.
 
@ Willow's Tara: And Claydol came to be as a statue that came to life, I think it's the same with Baltoy.

I believe they're living creatures in the Pokémon world. If they have emotions and a thought of their own, it's a living being.

Then again, it's called magic. How else would you explain living and breeding ghosts?
 
Voltorb's sprite kinda looks mad or angry so yea they probably do have feelings.
 
Well I think they have feelings and all that stuff. Probably back in time magnemite survived better with steel skin and hovering. Same with voltorb and his orb shape. But I can't explain the no gender maybe some kinda asexual reproduction?
 
Videogames do not have to make sense to be cool! These things just happen.
 
I believe Voltorb was a pokeball that turned alive, but I'm not so sure about Magnemite.

Or maybe they are some form of insect that builds a shell out of junk?
 
None of Magnemite's Pokedex entries ever touch that subject. I think it's a safe assumption to say that it is a robotic life form, given the context. This does create some anomalies with breeding, but Pokemon need not be evaluated too deeply. I mean, why would you question how a robot can hatch from an egg while you have giant dinosaurs traveling through time and space?

Sparks Fly For Magnemite. I have season 1 videos and I fet like watching them so I saw that a few days ago.

It was because they were at the factory and Pikachu was sick. I think it was something about Magnemite being attracted to the magnetic stuff in Pikachu.

Back on topic.

For Voltorb you just bring a Pokeball into the situation. :D

For Magnemite? Dunno. They probaly have feelings, because in Pokemon Snap(I'm playing all of the old games again) Porygon does when you throw a discovery ball then an apple at them!

For Magnemites, well, uh...Games don't need to make sense! So lets just say I agree with everyone elses opinions.
 
I've always thought of Magnemite, Voltorb, Beldum, etc as androids for lack of a better term. Robotish things with built in emotions. I really can't think of another logical answer.
