S1EP38 - "Electric Soldier Porygon"

This episode was banned for causing seizures in viewers with Photosensitive Epilepsy, resulting in the hospitalizations of over 700 Japanese viewers, 685 of whom were children. As a result, the episode was never dubbed, and Pokemon was canceled for 4 months.

The primary problem scene identified (Pikachu shooting missiles near the exit) was actually already removed in the footage I got and none of the alternative footage I could find online was very good quality. That being said, as you will see, a lot of other scenes in the episode use strobe effects and flashing lights, so be careful!

NOTE: As this episode was never dubbed, it has alternative english translations, including "Computer Warrior Porygon," "Virtual Soldier Porygon," and "Electric Warrior Porygon."
