On this episode: “Medical Mystery 2: Pixels and Panic”
This month we bring you a SPECIAL three part mini-series for Halloween! Ben and Kirsty delve into medical mysteries, and in this second episode, they explore the ‘Pokémon Panic’.
What happened in Japan in 1997 when a Pokémon episode that was aired seemed to caused seizures among their young viewers?
Ben shares the story of Haruki, a young Pokémon fan that had an unusual reaction to a newly aired episode, followed by possible conclusions that could be made.
What led to this panic, by a seemingly harmless TV show?
Web links from the show: (all correct at time of recording)
Radford & Bartholomew (2001) – Pokémon Contagion: Photosensitive Epilepsy or Mass Psychogenic Illness?
Centre for Inquiry (2022) – Revisiting the Pokémon Panic at 25
