-Team Rocket fires missle-
Pikachu: PI-KA-CHU!!!
-shoots a bolt of electricity that collides with missle-
- Red and blue flashes-
*Has a seizure*
Yep, it wasn't Porygon's fault. Unless staring at it's geometric *** while it was carrying Ash and co. is what caused the seizures, I don't see how they could have possibly pinned the blame on it at all.
What seems weird to me is that they even continued having Team Rocket use missles/rocket launchers after this happened. Obviously they couldn't just ditch Pikachu or Team Rocket without giving at least an episode of explaination so what do they blame? Porygon. They should have just blamed it on the missles and never had them in pokemon again.
It's a real shame, we could have seen some pretty interesting league battles featuring Porygon-2 or Z and gotten some interesting episodes.
How about an episode during the Team Rocket arc in Johto where their scientists made their own Porygon and Porygon-2 to do their bidding.
How bout a Sinnoh filler involving Porygon-z? It gets trapped in a computer or something and causes all pokemon who get transferred from their storage place (Oak for Ash, Johanna for Dawn, Caroline for May, Pewter Gym for Brock) to their trainers to contract a virus which causes them to go insane?
