Porygon (ポリゴン, Porygon) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.
Origin
Porygon is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I of the Pokémon games, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #137 as the "Virtual Pokémon". In these games, it could only be obtained by purchasing it at the Celadon Game Corner up until Gen IV where you can find it in the wild. In Generation II, it gained an evolution, Porygon2, which it evolves into when traded holding an Up-Grade. In Generation IV, it gained yet another evolution, Porygon-Z, which it evolves into when traded holding a Dubious Disc. This makes it the only Pokémon that needs to be traded twice to reach its final evolution.
Tackle is a Normal-type move with 50 base power and 100% accuracy (35 and 95% before Generation V) and no added effects. It is a very basic move which consist in a simple charge against a single opponent, and it is part of the starting moveset of many Pokémon, including Porygon, in all games.

Trivia
- Porygon is the only Pokémon seen in Smash to retain its Japanese voice (excluding Pokémon whose English dub names are the same as their Japanese names) in all international versions of the game. This is due to the banning of the infamous episode EP038. For the same reason, Porygon2 was never given an anime voice as a result of the EP038 incident, instead retaining its cry from the games(and the only Pokémon in Smash to have this distinction).
