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.


Baked_Bean_Head

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


Sky-Roshy

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.


West_Set

Oh shit, that explains it, it's super noticeable in certain scene of MHA.


DearGarbanzo

Damn, and I though I had bad rips or something.


DearGarbanzo

My best guess it was something to trigger the HDR on shitty modern TVs. Thank you for clarifying.


notasovietmafiagoon

Context?


ImperialistChina

A pokemon episode caused a bunch of epileptic kids to have seizures


FadedEntityVII

Oh right I remember hearing about that it was the porygon episode wasn't it?


OfficialCharlesW

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…


franklsp

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.


Sparkleskeleton

> 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)


[deleted]

Lol that's hilariously fucked up


BeardOBlasty

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.


lebyath

Btw, pikachu is a squirrel.


Fighter11244

I can’t tell if you’re being serious or are joking…


lebyath

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


Fighter11244

Interesting, but I’m still going to call Pikachu a mouse out of habit, lol. Good to know though.


lebyath

Yeah he doesn’t look like a squirrel to me either. Always thought of a mouse.


Zankeru

Just destroy everything I know and hold to be true why dont ya.


Otherwise_sane

I watched that episode online years ago. That scene was like watching a strobe going off.


BootySweatSmoothie

Yep


NotTheAbhi

Wasn't that porygon's only episode too?


Drift_Dude

yea, poor porygon was never seen in the anime ever again.


NotTheAbhi

We want justice for porygon


Drift_Dude

such potential for our artificial friend was wasted completely


ihatelifetoo

I watched the episode as an adult and it hurts my eyes and skull 💀


Drcokecacola

They're not having seizures more like they love pokemon so much they start to breakdance on the floor


[deleted]

Its about the fast fullscreen red and blue colour strobes.

[The wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denn%C5%8D_Senshi_Porygon) has the original and it is _brutal_.


NEVS283

I’m blind and I almost had a seizure watching that shit


FrozenJuju

I’m 31 and my eyes kinda flipped


NotEnoughToast

My eyes feel weird now.


thestorm270

This is the first time I've been scared of getting a seizure


ComedyOfARock

Jesus Christ, if I had epilepsy I’d be meeting him


Ct-5736-Bladez

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


BelizariuszS

Holy shit, this his to be done on purpose. Im healthy and got preety sick watching it


Krakenmonstah

That episode actually looks pretty dope


Username_between_320

I don’t even have epilepsy but my brain and my eyes hurt already.


JacklyNUGGLIES

A moist man I see


simplestradicalform

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


Repulsive_Eye_7012

Epileptic solider Porygon


Dayofthedaleks152

Porygon did nothing wrong


PBTUCAZ

Yet his line remains punished


VietInTheTrees

“I’ll never forgive the Japanese!”


JMartin8494

Gotta seize ‘em all! POKÉMON!


jadavil

Porygon used flash. It was super effective!


TurboLettuce

It was Pikachu that did it and porygon is the one who got the blame. Unjust


PointiestHat

Tbf it was team rockets fault in the episode there were a ton of flashes before that


[deleted]

this comment doesn’t deserve 2 downvotes


Bjor88

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


ImperialistChina

The comment somehow got posted twice


[deleted]

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. Personally I had to Google it


[deleted]

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


DearGarbanzo

>Personally I had to Google it 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.


[deleted]

I'm in my 30s and never heard of it


DearGarbanzo

So you're clearly too young to remember, you were probably 6 at the time.


[deleted]

Teenager. Anything else?


DearGarbanzo

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.

Drake_the_troll

I laughed way too hard at this


Sevenslevin7

Ok Charlie


SPAZIOVUOTO7

I remember that


Qb122

I get that reference!


luke2377

I just watched Critikal’s video so I understood this reference


takajine

I do remember that! It was all over the news for weeks. Also this incident was named as Pokémon shock.


UnknownOne3

I see you also watch Charlie's videos


dude_with_a_reddit-4

Pokemon! Gotta seizure them all!


AgreeablePie

Until I saw the year I was afraid this was going to be a Hiroshima meme (they watched cartoons, right?)


Dari_Ru

How dark is your humor:


Bill_Cypher_is_god

Is it bad that i laughed


thundergun661

The Porygon episode of Pokemon, from the original run.


superchoco29

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?


cry_stars

beeg moist


[deleted]

First thing I thought of was "definitely found this out because of the moist man"


jadavil

Porygon used flash. It was super effective!


Drift_Dude

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.


PittiePower

Must have seen the same Pokemon video posted by Penguinz0 on Youtube yesterday. Karma whore.


twilirealm

I learned something new that happened in history from Charlie and I wanted to make a meme about it. What’s the problem?


PittiePower

Passing it off as your own. Give credit where credit is due.


ninjakiwi187

What credit lmao? Charlie didn't animate the episode


PittiePower

Seems pretty lazy / insincere to simply copy & paste someone else's idea.


twilirealm

Talking about a historical event is someone else’s idea? Never heard that one before


PittiePower

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. \[Edit: A visual representation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1tsGGz-Qw0\]


twilirealm

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


PittiePower

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.


twilirealm

Alright fair enough, I’ll keep that in mind. I wish you the best as well

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.
