POKEMON GEN 6 ANNOUNCED

[TomGuycott]

I know you guys are probably talking about the Legendary golem pokemon, but I'd like to bring Golett and Golurk into the equation, especially concerning your previous dialogues about man-made pokemon.

Golett's Pokedex entry is as follows:
Golett, the Automaton Pokémon. It is said that Golett was instructed to protect people and Pokémon by theancient civilization that created it.

So either Golett is a man-made Pokemon, or maybe created by aliens or by some sort of ancient race of civilized Pokemon. Assuming they were human creators, then its one of the few man-made pokemon.

Being man-made and a genderless animal brings up the question on what qualifies a pokemon as a pokemon. There are already a number of genderless, robot-like Pokemon, so its hard to limit the concept of a Pokemon to a living, breathing animal.

However, despite being genderless man-made and somehow otherworldly (being ghost type, probably due to some form of spiritual energy powering it), it is somehow able to breed and make eggs with a number of pokemon, including, but not limited to a snake made out of rocks (or steel), a ball that conducts electricity and looks like a Pokeball, a more modern artificial Pokemon, and a giant snowflake. Obviously the term "breeding" is used loosely, since in this universe the concept of Eggs seems pretty synonymous with the stork coming to deliver a baby.


What's the point in all this? Nothing really. What I'm trying to say is that despite all the complexity in the Pokemon universe, it's still just a game. It will have a few inconsistencies and flaws along the way, but frankly you can't overthink it, otherwise you'll just drive yourself crazy.
