Wow, it's almost like Gamefreak is fucking retarded.

>>28702701
Maybe the PokeDex is like bulbapedia trivia n shit

Eh, just hand-wave it saying they meant artificial like "virtual" as opposed to "man-made".

>>28702701
Well yeah, they didn't know Magearna existed when they made Pokemon. The Pokedex isn't omniscient.

>>28702730
Alternatively, it's almost like retcons are a thing, and this kind of stuff is known to happen when a franchise adds more things to it after a certain amount of time.

Porygon was made by retro engineering the "transform your pokémon in data to put it in the PC" thing.
Magearna was made as what's basically a robot, but let's say its soul heart lets it have a soul, hence why you can have it in a ball and stuff because balls are only supposed to hold pokémon but they also can hold items so it works either way, whatever.

tl;dr : headcanon

Porygon - First Artificial Pokemon
Magearna - First Man-Made Pokemon.

The difference is that people made Porygon virtually and gave it virtual life, Magearna was made by man's hand and given live through an object.

It is the first one made using modern science

Back then there were no scientists, only alchemists

Fuck, meant "made Porygon".
What I mean is is that they actually are discovering new pokemon, and Magearna was forgotten before the Pokedex and Porygon were made, and rediscovered AFTER the Pokedex and Porygon were made.

OP, I don't understand the problem.
The entire Pokemon series is FULL of retcons.

Why is it so surprising that a piece of information is no longer true after 20 years?

>>28702774
We'll see. If they specifically change the Dex entry to reflect that then I can accept it. Otherwise it's just Gamefreak being retarded (again).

>>28702701
There are dozens of contradictions and illogical claims in Pokédex entries
My theory is that the dex entries are actually written by a dumb ten-year-old who doesn't really think things through.

Porygon was the first virtual reality Pokémon.

>>28702805
Least they covered themselves

>>28702701

Come to think of it, neither Porygon nor Magearna are related to Mew, either?

Funny thing is that it's only the Fire Red and Diamond/Pearl dex entries that state it is the first artificial/man made Pokemon. All others don't say that.

Fuck off, Richard.

>Manmade Pokemon now

>>28702846

Porygon was the first virtual reality Pokémon ever created.

>>28702868

The Pokédex is always right about everything.

>>28702860
And yet they are pokemon but ultra beasts aren't?

Typical people erasing ancient (often superior) achievements
What else is new?

>>28702888
No it is not.

>>28702701
This just in, magearna isn't entirely artificial like Porygon.

Don't reply to Richard.

Reminds me of how the holocaust never happened

>>28702874

They started using science instead of the occult.

One of the lesser known effects of Magearna's existence is draining nearby Pokemon when they faint.
