Throwback Thursday! Pokémon making people SICK.

Hello trainers!

Let's do a throwback thursday. Oh, non-Japanese won't even have the chance to remember ;_;

We all enjoyed watching Pokémon as a kid (and even now we do, right?)..

Though this could've been different if you where watching the episode broadcasted on December 16, 1997.

I hear you think ''Why? What did I miss?''.

Let me tell you!

On this date they broadcasted an episode of Pokémon which gave (some..) people epilepsy-like symptoms. Around 700 children and adults where brought to the hospital! And then there are the people who did NOT got to the hospital, so the amount is probably even higher!

The episode was banned by the Japanese government and it was never aired again in Japan or any other countries!

Luckily, there's a thing called YouTube!

Warning; you can watch the part of the episode at own risk. Me or YouTube are not responsible for you watching it. btw if you die, please send me your Pokémon merchandise, thanks!

Yes, that was really the part that caused it all...
