[TogeticTheRuler]

I looked at part of the episode with Porygon the banned episode,I watched it and all i saw was the blue/red flashes but how did that cause seisureS?i felt ok if theres sumthing like this or its a stupid question,plz dont hurt me!

Yes it did. It was in the Guinness Book of World Records. Did you watch it on TV or on a computer? That might explain why. Also everyone that watched it didn't have a seizure. Maddiejoan included. ;025;

It's bound to cause seizures, but your chances are heightened if you stare directly at it. There was a study that suggested that many of the original views probably sat too close to the tube, which is how they were affected. So perhaps at a distance, it wouldn't do much, but that's not an official claim. Still be careful because I got a headache from it.

Watching it on the computer won't cause the same effect as on the TV. Especially when you usually see compressed versions of the video on the internet.

 

[Aptenodytes]

Yes, it does cause seizures, and probably you would probably experience them if you saw the original one. IIRC every copy of the Porygon episode online or whatever has a lower quiality, which won't give you any seizures.

Even the higher quality ones? Mines pretty much DVD quality, gives me a headache. But I don't get a seizure.

not everyone gets seizures...

It's not the quality of the file, it's that a computer screen and a television screen have different scanning patterns.
