Whether it’s foot in mouth, a sudden heavy subject, or some utter nonsense that you don’t know how to process, what’s something that’s come up in an otherwise alright conversation that’s stopped it dead in its track for both of you?

          Honestly, I think while it definitely taught a few kids about epilepsy, it wasn’t thousands like the rumors/story/media says. I think a few kids went to the hospital with seizures, and it ended up on the news, which made a bunch of parents tell their kids about the Pokemon episode that made kids sick. Kids, being impressionable, would think “oh shit, I saw that episode, I’m gonna get sick”

          TLDR, the episode made a few kids sick, and it was good that it was pulled, but the majority of reports were likely hysteria, at least IMO

          Oh man, if you think that effect is uncomfortable (which it absolutely is), you should see the final boss of Balan Wonderworld before they patched the effect. It’s astonishing. I can’t find a video of the fight to link to you, unfortunately… I want to see it again, but the one I had saved was taken down.
