Pokemon: is it possible to bring them into the real world?

Postby United States of Natan » Tue Sep 25, 2012 3:06 pm

I think it is possible, mostly through either DNA combining (unlikely, though) or virtual recreation. the way I think it could be done through virtual recreation is find a computer image of a pokemon, and then build a machine that can transfer it's particles into the real world. how might a machine like this be built? if we work together, we can definitely bring pokemon into the real world, possibly through our games!

No. Impractical to develop, and Pokemon are biologically and physically near impossible,

Short of magic, it might not.

A computer picture of a pokemon has no 'particles', unless you mean pixels - and just copying the appearance of an object with some kind of 3d-print technology wouldn't spontaneously generate functional internal organs, or the 'spark of life'.

To be honest, the idea of Pokemon in real life is pretty horrible, anyway.

No. Pokemon is a fictional fantasy world; the things within it are not possible in real life.

No not at all. There is absolutely no way you can make a rat shoot electricity than have it suddenly turn into a different looking rat after eating a piece of candy.

As far as I'm aware, yes, and no one is interested in building one, so there won't be one in the near (or potentially far) future.

guys, how about you actually support my idea and come up with some ways we can do this? I specifically said that you should not post here if you won't contribute.

How about YOU stop with the condescending tone here. >:(
You asked people to give their opinion and he gave it, don't get all snippy because you disagree with it.
And Pokemon WOULD be impossible. Why? Because evolution doesn't work like that.

Some pokemon maybe, i'm fairly sure we could breed a rattata.
Or robots.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Your thread is asking a question. People in this thread are answering what they think is the answer to the question.

Regarding the OP, no and no. Breeding animals to make them fight in sick games to ignite, drown and electrify each other? Really? Is that your idea of fun? Buy some dogo and enter a ring of dogfighting.

Haha wtf? First that awful abortion OP and now this? How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?

And no, this would not be possible in the way you describe it. You could conceivably through imaginative selective breeding and as of yet nonexistent gene tailoring methods create animals that might remind someone of one pokemon or another. But c'mon, surely you can see this is kind of a goofy notion.

You asked how it could be done. It can't.

Merely snap-shotting the external appearance of something tells you nothing about the internal workings. And, if it did - we're not even close to being able to 3-dimensionally print living tissue.

If all you want is responses that lie to you, and pretend it could be done as you wish it to be done - don't waste time posting here.

Exactly. Even if 'real Pokemon' were possible, it would be monstrous.

1. i am 14.

2. I asked if you guys had any ideas for how to build a machine like that.

3. I did not say anything about breeding, only bringing them out of the games and into real life.

4. I would prefer ideas for the machine rather than criticism.

With fairy dust and a TARDIS.

Srsly, virtual recreation? You're actually being serious? Why do research, I know right? I hope you know that we aren't just 'particles'.

And you wrote of 'DNA combining' in an instant.

While you probably don't have a clue about DNA and gen-technology, we already know how to transfer certain properties into other organisms, although it's only been done with plants.

You CAN'T make a magic machine. This is like asking us if we can make real powerpuff girls.
