Ok, this has been bugging me ever since generation 1 with Red/Blue/Green/Yellow. Porygon was man made by technology, why is it that they haven't made more man made pokemon. I mean in the games if I remember correctly, only 3-5 years hav passed. And considering how much technology advances, it leaves alot of improvement to make something a whole lot better than Porygon. Even Mewtwo was a creation of science, and i'm pretty sure they had more than 1 crack at making a mew clone (hence making me firmly believe in a Mewthree still). Why haven't there been more man made pokemon with all the games that have since come out?

Or another thing, as of now, there are only 7 total fossils. There is no way that the entire world used to be ruled by so few species. Why don't we have more fossils as well?

Or how about this one, We have Kanto, then we got Johto, ok I was happy. But what ever happened to the Orange Islands? Then we gt Hoen, and then Sinnoh. Are we ever going to get the orange islands? Or better, are we ever going to get a game with every region? I have had ideas for my own game to do this, but I don't know anything about programming and what not. And theres only one real reason for me wanting the Orange Islands, I want that crystal onyx.

Ok, another thing to rant about, we can breed pokemon, ok cool right? Why can't we breed certain legendary pokemon? In the show it clearly shows that Lugia breed, in pokemon snap is shows the original 3 legendary birds can breed. Why can't we breed certain legendaries?! I mean seriously, they show that it is possible for certain ones, yet we still can't do it.

I think about this stuff way too much :(
 
I think legendaries aren't able to breed because they are 'supposed' to be one of a kind, but there is a lot of argument against that *cough*LugiaandShayminandManaphyandPhione*cough*. Also do you really think that the game designers would let a crystal Onix be tradeable, since it's shiny form is green. They would probably do another Notched-Ear Pichu thing and have it unable to trade :(.
 
I see a crystal onix itself being like a lone legendary, like it wouldn't be capable of evolving into steelix. But he is there where he should be, the Orange Islands. He can't breed, but he's just like that epic pokemon.

And like you said Manaphy/Phione, Shaymin and Lugia, the game pokemon snap for the n64 had the original 3 birds hatch from eggs. I know Zapdos for sure. Mew is an obvious one too because there used to be more and not just 1 pokemon, it used to be a entire species.
 
There aren't more manmade Pokemon for likely the same reason there aren't more clones running around, the fossils besides those 7 have not yet been discovered, the Orange Islands are absent because they were invented by the people working on the anime, and we can't breed legendaries because that would break the game and Pokemon that are classified as 'legendary' would more likely than not refuse to mate in controlled conditions.

well if you go by what they said, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel were all man made. So obviously the power to create man made pokemon has been there all along, but only technologically built pokemon is porygon. I just don't see why there aren't more. All they've done was "hey lets make porygon evolve" thats all they've done.
 
The golems aren't man-made.

Castform is also another Pokemon that is man-made. It may not have cyberspace capabilities like Porygon does, but considering it is the weather Pokemon and its cellular structure actually changes with the weather, I'd say that's pretty darn advanced from a scientific point of view.

Porygon's evolutions aren't so much actual evolutions than just upgrades to the Porygon program. Porygon is man-made - it can't evolve through natural means.

Legendary Pokemon can breed. Of course they can breed. Otherwise they would die out. As Zenith said, breeding legendaries in-game would break the game. They're one-of-a-kind in the game because if you could get 70 billion of them, they wouldn't be very special. Just because you can only get one in the game doesn't mean they don't breed in the "real world."
 
the golems are man made from what I have read on bulbapedia. I will copy and paste real quickly

During the Ice Age, humans use ice from the South Pole to create Regice.
.
During the Stone Age, humans gather rocks from various locations and construct Regirock.

During the Iron Age, humans build Registeel. Some researchers believe that Registeel was created from a metal not of the planet.
At some point after the Iron Age, Regigigas is sealed away in Snowpoint Temple, and Regirock, Regice and Registeel are sealed away at various points across the Hoenn region.
 
I think this is just a game and you are over-analyzing it, making me enjoy it less. Idk. Legends cant breed for the above reasons stated. The golems were I guess both man made and naturally made, because how would they come to life? As for the clones, it would take away the "originality" of having that one special pokemon(this of course being in the Pokeworld), because if Ash just had like 3 cloned Pikachus, it would be no fun or challenge for him or any other trainers.

I see that as a red gyarados type thing. even though red gyarados is actually just gyarados in its shiny form, I thing there should be a crystal onix. you should go around the orange islands hearing all these rumors from locals about "the mysterious creature" living in the caves somewhere. who knows? maybe we will have a game including all regions someday.

oh, and also, we still don't know exactly who made porygon or it's evolution items yet. (wait.. maybe silph co. made porygon, but the items are unknown). the guy who made mewtwo is dead, maybe whoever makes the DNA pokemon knows that they shouldn't go too crazy with power BECAUSE of the incident with mewtwo and fake groudon.

That's from their History of the Pokémon World article, which contains a bit of fan speculation.

Nowhere in the Regi Trio's Pokédex entries does it say Regice, Regirock, or Registeel were made by humans. However, in Regigigas's Platinum entry, it states "It is said to have made Pokémon that look like itself from a special ice mountain, rocks, and magma", and its HeartGold/SoulSilver entry translates as "Using clay, ice, and magma, it is said to have created the three Pokémon Regirock, Regice, and Registeel."

But I digress. I'd have to agree completely with what PMJ and Zenith posted.

The anime-related things you mentioned may probably never come to be in the video games, but it's always a possibility, I suppose.
