Right. There's a lot of aspects like that, where they don't get more efficient, just more powerful. Or they learn by collecting more data, but the way they make decisions is a lot slower to change...

[And there's so much he could explain about Porygon (and can't just refer someone to user manual for all the theoretical nuts and bolts, anymore), and it scratches one of those lingering itches, but he had a point and needs to follow it. Some other time, he'll explain the soft stuff - how people don't usually catch Porygon by accident, and what's expected of them, or maybe how he got along with his first Pokemon.]

Anyways. [Uncrosses his arms, sticks his hands in his pockets.] Where Silvally was different wasn't because it doesn't learn. It was...the other way around from Porygon, actually. It learns fast. It had to learn a lot about accuracy, and...about everything. But I've never seen it improve in overall power - like it was made to be as strong and fast and sturdy as it could possibly be, from the beginning. It didn't have to grow into that power over time. So we had to start with control. And that was most of the rest of it, too.
