However, one episode caused around 600 children to be rushed to the hospital due to epileptic seizures. The seizures were caused by a scene in which Team Rocket with a giant Porygon with lasers.

The resulting explosions sent off flashing lights that induced photosensitive epileptic seizures. Pokemon went on hiatus for a while but came back and continues running today.
