Porygon made its first and only major anime appearance in EP038. 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 Pikachu who caused the strobe effect which gave children
seizures.

Although it did not appear, a Trainer was attempting to send out their
Porygon to fight the Diglett and Dugtrio in Dig Those Diglett!. This
was only present in the dub. A Porygon made its dub debut in a brief
appearance during a graphic display in A Chansey Operation. A Porygon
made a cameo during the "World of Pokémon" opening narration of the
fourth movie, oddly being the only Pokémon in the shot appearing
behind a wire fence. It also had a similar cameo appearance in the
fifth movie as the "World of Pokémon" segment from the fourth movie
was reused.

So that's why....Thanks.
lol pickachu gives seizures
It doesn't make it right for them to totally exclude them from a main role in the anime ever again...just don't use the god @#$% effect!
