The incident occurred during an episode of the anime "Pokémon," specifically the episode titled "Dennō Senshi Porygon," which aired in 1997. The rapid flashing lights and colors during a particular scene triggered photosensitive seizures in some viewers, leading to 618 children being hospitalized. This event raised awareness about the effects of flashing images in media and prompted stricter regulations regarding children's programming in Japan.
