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]]''. | 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]].

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}}". | 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.

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. | ||
