(Well, I guess now it does...?)

(At least it's easier to roleplay them accurately. It gives the characters a reason not to break the rules, so that if your avatar ended up in a position where breaking the rules is exactly what your avatar would do.. Or worse, not breaking the rules meaning breaking your character.. You now have your in-universe justification. Sure, your evil avatar might WANT to kill the good guys ruining your plan, but you can't kill a being who transcends the physical realm. It'll really help prevent things from becoming a standstill, like "hey.. What do I do so that my character WON'T do this action that's against the rules, without breaking character?" Your reasons are right here!

And no. Your evil avatar cannot purposefully call an Ivysaur Ivysaur to purposefully glitch the program. It has protections against thing kind of thing, you see? It doesn't let you do that, just like PC's don't let you name two files the same name!

And you can't overload the whole server by spamming characters-It is only YOUR server that overloads, not the main one. So nice try, DDos attackers. The creator of the program is still unknown, but he is far above you guys. But even they can't kill you, so feel free to be evil without fearing that they're going to kill you to protect the program. They can't. But still. If you want to mess with the world, you can only mess with the world directly. Why would the creator release a program that they knew could be hacked? This is also why magical abilities are simply not rendered, rather than attempted to be rendered and causing a crash. The program has failsafes.)

(And please. You're not Olymian half-dieties that can still do that biological stuff. You have no physical form. You like someone, and want to be their partner? Too bad. Being an indestructable deity has its price. :3)
