    i heard that somewhere around 1997 in japan, there was an episode (electric soldier porygon) that put hundreds of kids into seizures. i want to know if this is true because on snopes.com, it says its fake.

    It's true, I've seen the episode, it could definetely cause seizures, that's why it's banned, forever

    It's posted on Youtube.com. I've seen it too. And I've got to say it gave me a little bit of a headache. Me and Mstrgmr also saw The Legend of Dratini on Youtube. Those episodes might not be there any more though. I went to watch "A Date With Delcatty" (Chronicles #11) again, and it was gone...

    Please! Getting a seizure would be so unlikely...

    Just don't stare too closely at the screen.

    if over 700 kids in japan was sent to the emergency room because of that episode, u should caution. it doesnt mean that they looked directly at the screen. the strobe effects in the room (like the flashing colors on the walls) could've caused the seizures as well, not just the screen itself.

    I’m sorry that this is a little off topic but can anyone tell me where to find the episode “Gotta Catch You Later”. Also I know Misty returned to the show for that two part Togepi episode and the recent ‘10th anniversary special’ but did she return in another episode during the Hoenn League, after watching some Pokemon songs on youtube it looked like some of the clips were from a Hoenn episode where Ash ran into a house and Misty was there, and another clip where Ash and Misty are standing on boats on a river (which of course could have been from the special that I missed half of). If anybody could help me out that would be great, cause though I’m not an avid Pokemon watcher like I was before Misty left I still try to catch whatever new episodes have Misty in them.
    Many thanks.
