porygon wasn't even the cause of the seizures. they didn't need to ban poryogn. they could have just ban those flashing light effects

Porygon was banned so victims would never have to "relive the trauma" caused by the episode and prevent any possible public concerns. Originally, 4Kids was even planning to dub the episode and lower the flash time to make it safe, but the Japanese government banned the episode entirely. Pikachu is technically the one that caused the blast and flashing lights, but it's not like they'd ban Pikachu. Porygon was likely just an easy target for a ban to appease the public

it was chosen because it was already popular after the initial release of red and green, due to being cute, rare, and available very early

Yeah, it's not fair. Porygon wasn't responsible for the flashing lights. Pikachu was. But they can't ban Pikachu so let's just ban Porygon instead!

>>38246873
I wouldn't go as far as to call the anime a merchandise commercial but it was definitely one of the many shitty things it has done.

Meowth's English voice actor said so, although another voice actor said it wasn't dubbed, so who knows.

>Do you now where I can watch the dub online?
It was never released, so it's not online. If it wasn't destroyed, then there are probably only a few people with access to it.
Actually, I wonder if there's any hope an online petition or similar campaign could get it released.

Tajiri was the only influencing factor in that actually. Clefairy was offered as the mascot as well and Squirtle and Charmander both have the same appeal to boys/girls while being more popular when the game initially released. ALL of Pikachus popularity comes from the fact that it was preemptively chosen as the animes mascot.

It's a cute, rare, early-game mon. That was a major factor.

Being rare has a negative effect on popularity, since less people will see it. There are also plenty of "cute" and early-game pokemon.
Pokemon actually doesn't need a mascot in the first place, since it revolves around many monsters all with their own niche and ability, not 1 generic shitmon.

Children don't care about encounter rates, they're just as likely to show off the starters or fight over which one is the best. Especially since you're guaranteed to get at least one of them in a playthrough, rather than guess at Pikachu being in Viridian Forest in every school playground and neighbourhood globally.

Who's guessing? Someone's going to find it through sheer random chance, then tell his friends. His friends are gonna see that it's cute and decide they want one.
Why do you think Mew was popular? It was literally just because it was rare.

No. The entire thing is now put down to public hysteria rather than actual mass seizures too. It was media hype not properly dangerous.

That said not recommended if you do have epilepsy. And watch in a well lit room sat a safe distance from the screen like the warnings.

That's assuming they don't see it as a faggy cutesy rodent as opposed to anything else you can get at that point. Not to mention that assumed popularity would only extend as far as that kids local friend group.
Mew is a legendary, surrounded a myth and was legitimately unobtainable outside of glitching and events. There are plenty of early-game pokemon with a 5% or less encounter rate.
