In 1997, an episode of the Pokémon anime, titled "Electric Soldier Porygon," caused seizures in hundreds of children in Japan because of rapidly flashing lights. The incident led to the episode being banned and "Pokémon" taking a hiatus.
Wow, that’s intense! The "Electric Soldier Porygon" episode really shook things up with those flashing lights, leading to seizures and a major pause for the show. It’s crazy how something so small can have such a big impact.
