Perhaps this may explain why, on rare moments, the screen is shadowed whenever Pikachu uses any of his Electric-type moves...

I believe they're referring to anime giving the viewers this advice. |

I have not noticed that on a US DVD recently. Have they stopped doing it in Japan? Or have the US publishers just decided not to include it. Most of them were rather repetitive, and boring, but some were very interesting and funny and different for each episode. |

Most series just have that warning as on-screen text during broadcast. Unless it's something special like Fairy Tail, retail DVDs/BDs on either side of the pond won't include them. |

Is it true that they showed the clip during a news report of the incident causing more cases?
I believe there are also doubt about the actual number of cases due to kids being kids and wanting time off school or just wanting to be part of the latest cool thing. |

Yeah, I've noticed that as well. I'm not sure what that's supposed to mitigate (since the problem isn't bright lights but flashing colors), but I find it really odd. I think My Hero Academia dims the screen as well during the opening, but I don't see any flashing lights there, so who knows what's up with that. The end shot is back to being bright again, though. Weird. |

What the hell are tripes? I'm surprised the OP of Kiznaiver hasn't caused some problems. I have to skip over it because it gives me a headache and makes me dizzy. Definitely chock full of concentric (open) circles, whirls and flashing lights. |

Edible stomach linings! Popular in many cuisines, less so in others. |

Well, that's all I've ever known it to mean. Are they talking about the honeycomb pattern? oO

Yeah it was definitely a combination of things that caused this incident to happen since strobe effects have been used before in Anime and nothing bad came out of it, also if this happened to any show smaller than Pokémon it would have been pulled off the air permanently.

THE WORST part of this, was that this has extended into Nintendo's games.
Tons of VC versions of games(Wii/3DS/Wii U) have been artificially darkened so much that games look terrible. The VC GB Pokemon games were altered to change animations/flashing too as well as darkened to the point where pure white is now medium grey. In Earthbound they added a motion blur effect on top of it for certain animations. Recently the Wii U VC games were cracked and people discovered that there are config files for each game. Where they have the brightness/gamma fucked up. Why can't they just give us the god damned option?? All out of fear of seizures that have a myopic chance of happening to a tiny subset of people. I recently watched the 2nd Oishinbo TV Special - America Vs Japan Rice War and it has some really interesting views/points on how the Japanese want to avoid trouble as much as possible. Even if it means losing integrity and other junk. Should watch it, it's pretty good. |

I haven't seen those warnings for some time, even in the occasional show that I watch from torrents. Fansubbers routinely included them back in the day along with the advertising billboard that usually preceded each episode like this: 
(from Genji Monogatari Sennenki) |

As for specific DBZ episodes that might have to be retooled, go watch the episode-long Kamehameha duel between Gohan and Cell. I rewatched it a few months back on FUNimation and there were segments where I was afraid to stare at the full screen for more than a few seconds straight. Long segments of the episode feature Gohan, Goku, and Cell talking around while the two colliding Kamehamehas strobe continuously. Even worse, in the storyboards featuring Gohan looking in the direction of the fourth wall, there are two strobing effects on screen at once: the outer strobing effect from the Kamehameha collision and an even more aggressive strobing effect right on Gohan's hand to represent the source of his Kamahameha.
I haven't watched the Kai version, but I imagine that episode is the number one candidate to be retooled. The flashback scenes with the destruction of Planet Vegeta by Frieza's high-contrast red ball of doom also come to mind. |
