[[File:Porygon Aim to Be a Pokémon Master.png|thumb|250px|Porygon in [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]]]
===Major appearances===
Porygon's only major anime appearance was in [[EP038]]. [[Dr. Akihabara]] created two specimens, {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Porygon Zero|one}} of which was stolen by {{TRT}}, while the other one was borrowed by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Both remained with Dr. Akihabara at the end of the episode.
 
This episode caused more than 600 children in Japan to be transferred to hospitals by ambulance because of seizure-like symptoms they reported, due to a flashing strobe effect present at several points of the episode, and was therefore [[Banned episodes|banned]] and never aired again anywhere in the world. Since then, Porygon and its evolved forms, {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}, have never played a main role in the anime.
 
===Minor appearances===
Porygon made its English dub debut in a scene transition in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]''. A similar transition appears in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]''.
 
Porygon appeared in the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment for the English dub of ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', and was featured with an English voice, making this the only time Porygon appeared with such a voice in the anime.
 
In the opening sequence of both ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'' (the former only in the case of the dub, since said intro sequence was originally made for the latter), an unhappy Porygon can be seen floating behind a wire fence in a city.
 
In a shot in a "World of Pokémon" opening at the beginning of ''[[The Journey to be a Pokémon Master Begins!!]]'', a Porygon was floating above a fence, similar to the aforementioned {{pkmn|movie}}s.
 
Porygon made a cameo appearance in the "World of Pokémon" opening of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', which featured every Pokémon from the first five [[generation]]s revealed to that point.
 
A Porygon appeared as an image in ''[[SM020|Partner Promises!]]''.
 
==In the manga==
[[File:Blue Porygon Conversion.png|200px|thumb|Porygon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
{{main|Blue's Porygon}}
{{adv|Blue}} obtained a Porygon at the [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]] in ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]'', and it soon became a core member of his team. Prior to {{PAV|13}}, it evolved into a {{p|Porygon2}}.
 
===={{MangaArc|Platinum}}====
A Porygon appeared at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|IV}} in ''[[PS427|Uprooting Seedot]]''.
 
===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
A Porygon appeared in ''[[PASM05|The Announcement and the Prize]]'', under the ownership of [[Gladion]]. It was used in a couple of battles during the [[Iki Town]] festival, helping Gladion to defeat [[Hau]] and {{adv|Moon}}.
 
====Pokédex entries====

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
A Porygon appeared in ''[[PM011|Finish Off Team Rocket!!]]'', under the ownership of [[Erika]]'s father.
 
==In the TCG==
{{main|Porygon (TCG)}}
 
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]===
Porygon pops out of a door on top of the [[Silph Co.]] building in the {{OBP|Saffron City|stage|Saffron City stage}}. It damages players that come into contact with it.
 
Porygon's only appearance in Melee is that of a Poké Float. When the fighting is on {{p|Slowpoke}}'s tail, three will travel across the top of the screen. However, they move too quickly to land on and so are little more than decoration in practice.
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Porygon retains its role as a stage element in the Saffron City stage, as well as appearing as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.
