Porygon (Team Rocket)

Porygon (Team Rocket) was a Pokémon owned very briefly by Team Rocket in the episode Electric Soldier Porygon.

Porygon was a prototype created by Dr. Akihabara and stolen by Team Rocket. Ash and his friends borrowed a non-prototype Porygon to go inside the computer world to find it. When they encountered the trio, Team Rocket sent out Porygon to battle Ash and friends, complete with its own TR flag on its tail.

Sadly, when the vaccine was released by Nurse Joy, one of them hit Team Rocket, knocking Porygon unconscious and forcing Team Rocket to abandon it when escaping the explosion.

Banned Electric Soldier Porygon

This episode was banned after 700 Japanese kids suffered seizures or mild epilepsy/blindness. The cause was flashing red/blue screens.
