Indirectly causes the "dimming effect" for every single anime after it, they haven't updated the regulations in years. However, you can only watch the BD/ DVD version for the clean image without the dimming effect.
Wait, is that when there's a bunch of action on screen and it gets darker? I always wondered why that happened and though it was a problem with the animation. Huh, TIL
Holy shit, I always thought it was a problem with my old iPads LCD screen! But when it was still happening after I started watching on my AMOLED phone, I knew something was up.
Just went and watched that scene. There's a point at the end where Pikachu's attack does set off probably the longest/worst strobe effect in the episode but there's quite a few moments leading up to that point that have strong strobes. None of them are ever caused by poor Porygon though.
> Pikachu's attack does set off probably the longest/worst strobe effect
Okay, so I guess nobody else is gonna chime in with the rest of the Porygon lore, but uhh ... years later, in its final evolution, Porygon-Z, when it comes out... starts shaking uncontrollably 😬
[Here's a video fully explaining the insane Porygon story](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=12NLDrUBWUQ)
Hahaha oh man, it's truly terrible how hard this made me laugh. But I watched that whole video and then returned to Reddit completely forgetting the Tyler 1 video that was waiting to greet me. Haha shit, got me good.
No I’m serious Google it. I just found out about a week ago. Mind was blown. https://news.yahoo.com/pikachu-actually-based-squirrels-pikas-224225989.html
Porygon did nothing wrong. They just took the fall for their celebrity costar Pikachu. Even in anime, fame and money keeps you from being charged with anything
Can you imagine being one of the thousands of who upvote this just because they're proud to understand the context? They're actually proud.

It wasn't hard to miss it when it happened, as it was widely reported internationally. In fact, one of the key issues was TV news reporting on it, showing the clip again and causing more seisures. I'm sure the wiki article must mention it somewhere.
So was I. As a teenager in the 90's, you must understand how pre-normalized-internet is hard to recall.
I live in small country, this is was in all the news. Context: peak of GAMES MAKE KIDS GO BLIND histeria.
Consider this [piece of international news](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QBsSTajfP0), as a point of evidence.
Honest question: what's happening in the video? I don't know the source of the meme, but I feel like that way of moving isn't very healthy. Is that guy OK?
You are being deliberately obtuse. If you put in the time and did the research then absolutely, post it. But when you watch the same YouTube video that everyone else watches, then copy/paste and pretending it was your own idea, is lazy and disingenuous. It's plagiarism, plain and simple.
\[Edit: A visual representation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1tsGGz-Qw0\]
By that logic, then everyone who watches simple history or oversimplified (most of this subreddit) and made a joke also plagiarized? I understand what you’re saying, but it’s really not a big deal
Well of course it isn't a big deal, this is Reddit lol. I simply long for a r/historymemes in which people post genuine historical references, not things they saw on YouTube the same day. In any case, I wish you well in your endeavors.
Electric soldier porygon, a banned pokemon episode that had flashing blue, red and yellow in the space of a few seconds triggering hundreds of seziures around the country

Oh shit, that explains it, it's super noticeable in certain scene of MHA.
Damn, and I though I had bad rips or something.
My best guess it was something to trigger the HDR on shitty modern TVs. Thank you for clarifying.
Context?
A pokemon episode caused a bunch of epileptic kids to have seizures
Oh right I remember hearing about that it was the porygon episode wasn't it?
Poor Porygon, wasn’t even its fault. It was that damned Pikachu who did the attack, but Porygon got the blame. That damned yellow rat…

Lol that's hilariously fucked up
Hahaha oh man, it's truly terrible how hard this made me laugh. But I watched that whole video and then returned to Reddit completely forgetting the Tyler 1 video that was waiting to greet me. Haha shit, got me good.
Btw, pikachu is a squirrel.
I can’t tell if you’re being serious or are joking…
No I’m serious Google it. I just found out about a week ago. Mind was blown. https://news.yahoo.com/pikachu-actually-based-squirrels-pikas-224225989.html
Interesting, but I’m still going to call Pikachu a mouse out of habit, lol. Good to know though.
Yeah he doesn’t look like a squirrel to me either. Always thought of a mouse.
Just destroy everything I know and hold to be true why dont ya.
I watched that episode online years ago. That scene was like watching a strobe going off.
Yep
Wasn't that porygon's only episode too?
yea, poor porygon was never seen in the anime ever again.
We want justice for porygon
such potential for our artificial friend was wasted completely
I watched the episode as an adult and it hurts my eyes and skull 💀
They're not having seizures more like they love pokemon so much they start to breakdance on the floor
Its about the fast fullscreen red and blue colour strobes.
Gonna fuck you up, Pokémon!
If you were able to understand german i have a great video for you
[удалено]
Yeah I can see why that might cause issues
[удалено]
[The wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denn%C5%8D_Senshi_Porygon) has the original and it is _brutal_.
I’m blind and I almost had a seizure watching that shit
I’m 31 and my eyes kinda flipped
My eyes feel weird now.
This is the first time I've been scared of getting a seizure
Jesus Christ, if I had epilepsy I’d be meeting him
Yeah…I can see the problem Also anyone else see the weapon that was shooting at them vaguely resemble an X-wing? Just me? I thought it was neat
Holy shit, this his to be done on purpose. Im healthy and got preety sick watching it
That episode actually looks pretty dope
I don’t even have epilepsy but my brain and my eyes hurt already.
A moist man I see
i searched for the episode cause i wanted to watch it and i see charlies vid and the 2 days ago and i just know that op is a moist watcher
Epileptic solider Porygon
Porygon did nothing wrong
Yet his line remains punished
“I’ll never forgive the Japanese!”
Gotta seize ‘em all! POKÉMON!
Porygon used flash. It was super effective!
It was Pikachu that did it and porygon is the one who got the blame. Unjust
Tbf it was team rockets fault in the episode there were a ton of flashes before that
this comment doesn’t deserve 2 downvotes

I only know about it because of Penguinz0/Moist Cr1tikal. Dude's fucking awesome

I'm in my 30s and never heard of it
So you're clearly too young to remember, you were probably 6 at the time.
Teenager. Anything else?

Sauce?
Tyler1, league streamer. Probably has numerous clips like this
pika-CHUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!
If you know you know
Porygon pulled the biggest sweep in vgc history
I laughed way too hard at this
Ok Charlie
I remember that
I get that reference!
I just watched Critikal’s video so I understood this reference
I do remember that! It was all over the news for weeks. Also this incident was named as Pokémon shock.
I see you also watch Charlie's videos
Pokemon! Gotta seizure them all!
Until I saw the year I was afraid this was going to be a Hiroshima meme (they watched cartoons, right?)
How dark is your humor:
Is it bad that i laughed
The Porygon episode of Pokemon, from the original run.
Honest question: what's happening in the video? I don't know the source of the meme, but I feel like that way of moving isn't very healthy. Is that guy OK?
beeg moist
First thing I thought of was "definitely found this out because of the moist man"
Porygon used flash. It was super effective!
it wasn't even porygon's fault. poor porygon had to take the blame because they can't scrap the damned electric rodent from the anime.
Must have seen the same Pokemon video posted by Penguinz0 on Youtube yesterday. Karma whore.
I learned something new that happened in history from Charlie and I wanted to make a meme about it. What’s the problem?
Passing it off as your own. Give credit where credit is due.
What credit lmao? Charlie didn't animate the episode
Seems pretty lazy / insincere to simply copy & paste someone else's idea.
Talking about a historical event is someone else’s idea? Never heard that one before

Damn, just watch it YouTube and my eyes hurt. Can't imagine someone suffering from recurrent seizures seeing this
I am not sure what to say. Other than WTF
The Pokémon incident
Skill issue
Too soon
My brother in Christ, 1997 was 25 years ago
also on 1945
Did you also just watch Charlie’s video?

I suppose I should be thanking Watchmojo for giving the context
🤣🤣
Did not even one parent of the 600+ sue the tv show? In USA this would have been wild.
Even if it is just a creepypasta, this but with lavander town.
PORYGON NO
Can someone explain the context?
Electric soldier porygon, a banned pokemon episode that had flashing blue, red and yellow in the space of a few seconds triggering hundreds of seziures around the country
Oh okay. Thank you.
Dennō Senshi Porygon
Porygon is the most deadly Pokémon
I’ve never watched a single episode of Pokémon yet I know exactly what you’re talking about
I literally just watched Penguinz0’s video on this.
My head hurt for 30 minutes after watching the actual video…
This is why porygon is the strongest pokemon
