'Porygon Did Nothing Wrong' - How a Pokemon Was Unfairly Maligned

Throughout the long history of Pokemon anime, there have been a few episodes that stirred up controversy. None have managed to trigger as much backlash as episode 38 of the first season of Pokemon, which features Ash, Misty, and Brock going inside a computer to stop Team Rocket's dastardly plot. Ash and his friends are helped along by a strange Pokemon called Porygon, and by the end of the episode, it finds itself with more negative press than it can ever shake off.
