Just to add fire to discussion, I heard that this ended up being a case of mass hysteria and actually not people having seizures. I'd love to provide a source, but I can't remember where I read it.

Haha, awesome.

Man, Porygon's great. When fully evolved and with the right moves, it can sweep entire teams.

So a shittier than normal episode of Pokemon
