I don't know why porygon is in need of justice, but I agree, I fuckin love porygon 😤
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denn%C5%8D_Senshi_Porygon
AFAIK, Porygon was never shown in the anime again because of this episode, and it wasn't even Prygon who caused the issues.
I'm so glad I read this article
I love Wikipedia so damn much.
I remember this being one of those rumors we always heard about as kids before the internet was readily available.
Of course I had to find the clip on YouTube. Turns out I’m not epileptic. It is an uncomfortable effect though and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it elsewhere.
Honestly, I think while it definitely taught a few kids about epilepsy, it wasn't thousands like the rumors/story/media says. I think a few kids went to the hospital with seizures, and it ended up on the news, which made a bunch of parents tell their kids about the Pokemon episode that made kids sick. Kids, being impressionable, would think "oh shit, I saw that episode, I'm gonna get sick"
TLDR, the episode made a few kids sick, and it was good that it was pulled, but the majority of reports were likely hysteria, at least IMO
Oh man, if you think that effect is uncomfortable (which it absolutely is), you should see the final boss of Balan Wonderworld before they patched the effect. It’s astonishing. I can’t find a video of the fight to link to you, unfortunately… I want to see it again, but the one I had saved was taken down.
Ooooh, I think I was aware of that at one point, but didn't make the connection.
I'm joining your picket line, that shits fucked up. Justice for my boi porygon 😤
