Porygon made its first and only major anime appearance in | Porygon made its first and only major anime appearance in [[EP038]]. This episode caused almost 700 children in Japan to have seizures due to a flashing strobe effect, and was therefore banned and never aired again anywhere in the world. Since then, Porygon and its evolutions have never played a main role in another episode, despite the fact that it was actually {{AP|Pikachu}} who caused the strobe effect which gave children seizures. | ||
