Generation VII
In order to create a more advanced Pokémon, an additional program was installed, but apparently it contained a defect that makes it move oddly.
Its program was modified to facilitate extra-dimensional activities, but that led to noticeably strange behavior.
Its behavior is noticeably unstable, which is apparently due to the incompetence of the engineer who updated its programming.
A faulty update was added to its programming. Its behavior is noticeably strange, so the experiment may have been a failure.
Generation VIII
Porygon-Z had a program installed to allow it to move between dimensions, but the program also caused instability in Porygon-Z’s behavior.
Some say an additional program made this Pokémon evolve, but even academics can’t agree on whether Porygon-Z is really an evolution.
A curious item induced this evolution. The Pokémon's offensive capabilities have greatly increased, but the strangeness of its behavior has magnified in equal measure. This worries me.
