Despite {{AP|Pikachu}} being the one to launch the seizure causing attack, {{p|Porygon}} has never had an important role in another episode since, while Pikachu has appeared in every Pokémon episode to date, barring [[Pokémon Chronicles]]. Porygon's evolved forms, {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}, also remained absent from the anime until [[M15|the fifteenth movie]], and even then they only appeared in cameo roles. Porygon itself has also made cameo appearances in the first four films and ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]''.

The seizures caused from this episode have dubiously made the Pokémon anime a frequent reference when discussing Japanese anime and its quick action and flashy effects. Numerous television shows and movies have made parodies with [[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture|notable references]] by ''{{wp|The Simpsons}}'' in the episode "{{wp|Thirty Minutes over Tokyo}}" and ''{{wp|South Park}}'' in the episode "{{wp|Chinpokomon}}". Also, these two episodes never aired in Japan, presumably due to the reference to the incident, however "Thirty Minutes over Tokyo" also didn't air due to its stereotyping of Japanese culture.
