Hey Melody! Fun fact about the Porygon episode, it actually wasn't even known scientifically at the time that those red flashing lights would cause seizures! It literally lead to a brand new test being created (The Harding Test) to make shows be safer. "There had been no previous recording of the color of light having any significant impact on seizures. Yet research afterwards following this event, partly funded by the government and TV network themselves, showed that it was specifically the red colored light that was responsible. The animators at the time had no reason to believe that using red light could cause such a devastating catastrophe." - Porygon Was Innocent: An epileptic perspective on Pokémon’s “Electric Soldier Porygon” The sad thing is that we don't even use that test in the US, so shows here are far more dangerous to watch than in the UK and Japan.
That's because we have yet to have a similar incident to what the UK and Japan went through in those time periods. Nowadays, many electronic devices don't use the gigantic lightblubs of the Catherine Ray Tubes like we used to in the 2000s and before. But again, it can happen, it's only a matter of when.
there used to be a pokemon go gym at my local outdoor mall, and one day i ran out and screamed "THERES A SNORLAX AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS" when there wasnt one (bc i was a dipshit 13 y/o), and some guy tripped in the mob of ~30 people running up the stairs and broke his arm. was on my local morning news the next day. pokemon go was crazy
@@nukiradio I think they grew past it, shure they did something bad but they recognized that what they did was bad and that was when they were a kid, everyone does bad things when they are kids its a part of learning what is right from wrong
In 2016 I was a high schooler who wasn't allowed to have a smartphone and I have never felt so left out before or since which is saying a lot since I'm an autistic freak. I literally cried myself to sleep over it at the time. These days it's just a way to harvest shinies
It's kind of embarrassing to me, how much I resented my mom, for not letting me get any social media on any devices, or get me a phone, while people who I knew where talking online. I eventually just resigned myself to not talking with anyone who didn't make clear effort to be my friend at school. Anyone else I ignored and disliked. As someone with autism, it was so hard to just not really know how other kids talked, when away from an adult. I got called an "old man" bc my whole social experience was my interactions with people at church(and bc of my voice)

All of those deaths make me feel sick to think about, just the absolute neglect from all higher ups. This does make us curious about the Average Death/Injury Total that *all* major children's franchise toy companies have been responsible for. From Mattel to Lego, and the specific franchises involved.
Even I remember having one but seeing my siblings put it on at one point, even trying it on my nose instead of my face....Yeah, those things I knew were choking hazards or hard to breathe through, thus I wasn't stupid to end up in a similar situation to how those humans ended up through. It's this reason, and thanks tot he burger king toy recall PSA ad, along with every toy I got back in the day, that made me read the labels featured on the packages of what could happen if you did this or that for the rest of my life.
Best thing to come home too after a long day at work. Love the vids Mel! Also it's my headcanon that ur sona shaved off her antlers and has to shave them regularly
Oh, i have a TERRIBLE story with the gold plated pokemon cards. My brother had actually gotten a gold plated mewtwo one, and around the time I was in elementary school, the cards were getting traded around at the playground. SO, my extremely smart 3rd grader self GAVE THE CARD to some random kid for a bunch of EX cards I later learned were majority fake :/ I was extremely stupid and I feel so bad for selling it now bc it was so cool and would've been really nice to have now, but i do have a McDonald's fennekin (that I may or may not have stolen from my brother's friend) at the very least!
It makes a fair amount of sense that pokemon liked gambling, to a certain level; up to the 1970s, Nintendo was a card company, and one fairly popular at illegal gaming parlors (GAMBLING!!!) at that. They're completely different from pokemon, but I like to think the yakuza went down to their bars to purchase pokemon cards and get mad when they didn't get the super shiny charizard card.
hear me out it was team rocket's fault that porygon got banned they wanted to steal pokemon from cyberspace and if they didnt do that porygon wouldn't be banned
I actually have a couple of those recalled Burger King Pokémon toys, balls and all. I got them at a flea market for $5 a pop. They're still super common and a weirdly fascinating part of Pokémon history, if not a bit morbid.
*Lavender Town Theme* 🤝 *Electric Soldier Porygon* Both Pokemon canon events where Japanese kids doesn't "gotta catch 'em all." Pokemon catches them instead.
The Lavender Town theme one was actually a hoax. All "reported" cases of the song causing suicidal tendencies have been found to have been made up by random strangers on the early Internet several years after the game’s release. Most often by people who don’t actually live or have been to Japan.
20:07 Obtaining the Miracle Berry on Gen2 is already quite hard, but it's possible to also obtain it by visiting the Mystery Gift girl on Pokemon Stadium 2 with a chance of just 5% per day, within the same Mystery Gift girl event you can obtain also pokemon dolls and consoles to decorate both your room in your physical pokemon cartridge and in the Room inside the Pokemon Stadium game.
I might be wrong but I am like 80% Porygon did show up again in Horizons ( the new Pokémon anime without Ash) (can’t confirm this since I don’t watch the show but I think I saw somewhere that he was in it)

14:30 Well...Yes? But also, no? This version is not usable in battle, it's a form made just for plushies and the anime. Edit: Also, play Scarlet and Violet. It is, along with gen5's games, the only pokemon game with an AMAZING story. The characters are the best in the franchise (human and pokemon)
You know, I used to play a lot of go, but even I got into some really bad issues due to it. After a while of just not being able to download it though, I finally was able to start pikmin bloom at the beginning of this month, and I must say it is just better for people who want cute critters to incentivize exercise, but in a much more passive way where you can do everything with the screen turned off compared to having to spend an extra 50-100$ to make Pokémon go automatic. Also I just love pikmin and gardening as a whole so like, this app was just made for me. Still waiting on that pikmin cookbook Nintendo

Oh wow, this was an awesome video on all the Pokémon as this was pretty funny especially with the what color is my underwear? part as I love the obligatory SpongeBob reference.
Those gameboy color toys are so close to the real thing that they're actually commonly used to make mini Gameboy Colors by shaving the circuitboard down to its essentials and using smaller modern parts where necessary
26:46 Speaking of Pokemon go being used in robberies Brazil has a serious problem relating to phones being stolen. Usually, people on bikes pick up the phones of unsuspecting pedestrians and dash away (but sometimes armed robberies can happen) When pokemon go came out, i remember seeing a robber posting on Facebook a picture of 10-20 phones with the caption "thank you pokemon go", which is a bit scary, but also, very funny. So if you count stolen phones as harm, you can probably add like 200-400 more cases just from Brazil (Also while looking for news articles relating to this, apparently a priest embezzled 40k dollars from church to play pokemon go. So pokemon promotes embezzling church funds, maybe?)
The Gen 5 Tepig from Macdonalds was - part of my trans Journey - the first Toy from there - my first starter by technicallity (that honor will always go Popplio in my heart) - my first sleep paralisis demon (It's Voicebox was Defective)
if i had a nickel every time a youtube video talked about the pokemon porygon shock and ball suffocation incidents, i would have a bazillion nickels. i seriously know those stories front to back
a couple months ago i ordered a poke walker off ebay, and its really brought back the childhood joy of bringing my little friends around with me :D right now i have my shiny meganium named topaz in it
the first time I ever ate at burger king was because I begged my parents to go for a pokemon toy. It was unfortunately after the pokeball scandal, so I get a mewtwo in his little cylinder tube. I was extremely upset because I wanted a pokeball more than anything in the world. i
The funny thing is that the strobing effects used in episodes 38 weren't uncommon in 90s anime. Evangelion used them Sailor Moon used them GaoGaiGar is practically unwatchable nowadays because of those effects. Pokémon wasn't even the first anime to send kids to the hospital but because it was such a huge series it was a big deal. And the staff went back to darken and slow down the effects even in the original opening. And this did lead into more awareness to seizure effects in animation and why anime darken the screen for flashy effects and such. But yeah because it was the Porygon episode the staff didn't bring the Pokémon back because they didn't want the controversy to come back.
Fun fact: in generation 4 of Pokémon they added a third evolution to porygon called porygon-Z, once the games switched to 3D they added idle animations to all pokemons, in porygon-Z's he has a seizure
16:23 so if you’ve ever heard of this small thing called digimon… That’s the entire reason, digimon is *literally* the “boy” version of tamagotchi, I should know I am a digimon fan Bandai had its own monster collector? Thing already
Honestly I wasn't that interested in the whole Pokemon Go trend when it was garnering attention in 2015. But I did not expect that a mobile game inadvertenly caused a huge, substantial mortality rate. It is just as shocking as the late 90's pokeball toys from Burger King.

Hey Melody! Fun fact about the Porygon episode, it actually wasn't even known scientifically at the time that those red flashing lights would cause seizures! It literally lead to a brand new test being created (The Harding Test) to make shows be safer.

Yet research afterwards following this event, partly funded by the government and TV network themselves, showed that it was specifically the red colored light that was responsible.
