Binomes are small mechanical people that inhabit most Systems. They are one of several types of formats found in Cyber Space. Binomes come in two varieties, Ones and Zeroes. Ones consist of three stacked cubes and have one eye, and Zeroes are shaped like a ball and have two eyes. Ones tend to be more common than Zeroes.
Despite their small stature, Binomes appear to be capable of most of the functions as Sprites. A Binome named Wise One was seen serving as the System operator and Keeper of the Core for a Damaged System. Mainframe is mainly inhabited by Binomes due to the nullification of most of the Mainframe's Twin City's Sprites during the destruction of the Twin City.
Megabyte's viral Binomes are blue with green eyes, just like their leader. They have icons that are green and black and have Megabyte's symbol on their bodies. Binomes are easily infected by viruses.
Binomes compared to Sprites
No binome has ever been seen in the Super Computer; sprites appear to run it completely on their own. The Satellite System is inhabited by binomes, and no other data beings have been seen living there. The Damaged System had only one sprite, the rest of the inhabitants were Binomes. The Spectral System had no Binomes at all; it was inhabited by Spectrals and Spectrals that had been converted into sprites. This system and the Super Computer are the only ones known to have no Binomes.
The Desert Port System appears to have no native sprites. The only sprites living there appeared to be visitors or had moved there from somewhere else. The rest of its population was Binomes.
Some of the best known binomes are: Captain Capacitor, Al, Specky, Lieutenant Chauncy, Baby Binome, Mr. Christopher, and Old Man Pearson.
The ReBoot Multiuniverse[]
Sometimes Akari would criticize them as inferior lifeforms compared to the Sprites, humans, and Pokémon, but they pretty much function the same as they do in the series.
Cycles later, as Mainframe was abandoned and being overrun by Zombinomes, Akari and her Pokémon deleted them all, even the neo-viral forces.
