Frank is a gang leader with a troubled past.
He has no mother, and most importantly, no father. This caused many problems. Without a father, Frank had no way to save his game, and had to make money selling burgers from trash cans... Obviously, his gang members saw this is a problem; what if the power shut off? All the terrorizing of Onett's citizens of that day would be GONE. KAPUT. Wouldn't that be just awful...? So, the more tech-y members of the gang offered a solution!
Frankystein Mark 0.95, the prototype, was built out of a tin can, and programmed with a voice that sounds suspiciously like Microsoft Sam. (But, it wasn't really Microsoft Sam, since Frank was smart about legal issues that may arise. It might be trademarked or something.) His gang programmed the robot with phrases such as, "I have added INSERT AMOUNT HERE dollars to your account," or "Just like your mom, you never want to stop." When Frank was presented the completed product, he was ecstatic! However, he realized the possible "in-your-endo" or whatever it's called that may arise from some of these lines, and programmed the next version of the robot with the power of common sense.
Frankystein Mark 1 allowed Frank to finally save his game. This new version would also provide supportive input and phrases when Frank or his gang was scared. One day, when Ness' mother and father were driving him to school, Ness' father crashed his car into the robot, and in the confusion and with the robot's very lifelike and non-robotic voice, Ness' family didn't notice that his father and the robot had become switched! As for Ness' father, he was glad to finally be free, and agreed to replace the robot for Frank because he had finally gained freedom from the trials of being a supporting figure in a household with children and dogs eating him out of house and home.
Frank agreed to these terms, and thus, Frankystein Mark 2 was built, with the intention of also serving the bodyguard role for Frank. This fits into the story perfectly... except for one thing. Where did Frankystein Mark 1 get all the money to send to his new son?
Being a robot, Frankystein 1 could make very advanced calculations, such as two plus negative negative two. This allowed it to lockpick masterfully, and banks all around Eagleland forever have their banks drained due to this master-thief father.
