Porygon made its first and only major anime appearance in ''[[EP038|Electric Soldier Porygon]]''. This episode caused almost 700 children in Japan to have seizures due to a flashing strobe effect, and was therefore banned and never aired again anywhere in the world. Since then, Porygon and its evolutions have never played a main role in another episode, despite the fact that it was actually {{AP|Pikachu}} who caused the strobe effect which gave children seizures.

* Porygon is the only Pokémon that evolves by trade twice: Once holding the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Up-Grade}} into {{p|Porygon2}}, and a second time (as Porygon2) into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dubious Disc}}.

* ''[[EP038|Electric Soldier Porygon]]'', which featured Porygon, caused seizures and irritated eyes. It was not Porygon itself, but {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which caused the problematic blue and red flash - even so, none of Porygon's evolutions have had any appearance in the anime since, except for the intro of the [[M04|fourth]] and [[M05|fifth]] movies and re-runs using the [[Pokérap]].

* Prior to [[Generation V]], the Porygon family had three [[signature move]]s, along with {{p|Vespiquen}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation I}}, and the {{p|Cubone}} family{{tt|*|Prior to Generation IV}}, the most out of all Pokémon.

* In [[Generation II]], it is possible for Porygon to use both effects of the move {{m|Curse}}. Simply using the move would cause Curse's effect for non-{{type|Ghost}}s. Using either {{m|Conversion}} or {{m|Conversion 2}} could change Porygon's type to Ghost and cause Curse to have its effect for Ghost-types. This is also possible for {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Smeargle}}.

* Porygon is one of five Pokémon that initially did not evolve into or from another Pokémon, but is now part of a three-stage evolutionary line, the other four being {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Magmar}}, {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Roselia}}. However, unlike the others, Porygon received two evolutions, while the others got a pre-evolution and a new evolution.

* Despite being an unevolved Pokémon which can evolve twice, Porygon has a higher base stat total than {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Beautifly}} and {{p|Dustox}}, final form Pokémon which have evolved twice.
