[edit] Vandalism

Just letting people know.. that this page was vandalized with the pictures of penises at the top.

To whoever who is doing this--GROW UP!

[edit] Holiday Hi-Jynx

In the article it says that: Holiday Hi-Jynx...isn't re-aired in English

But I have seen it on Tooonami UK. Does anyone have further information on this? Sonic Mew 21:01, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

• I kept editting it as "isn't re-aired in USA", but I don't know who always change it back!! =o=|||

Let's keep the Ken Sugimori artwork. Sonic Mew June 30, 2005 16:36 (UTC)

I second that. Jynx looks better purple anyway. RiffRaff1138 July 1, 2005 03:56 (UTC)

• It isn't the matter of looking better or not lol. Jynx is ugly anyway. Its the politically correctness that counts! jynx

All I can do is laugh and shake my head... I didn't even know blackface was a racial thing until I came to the Internet, and it wasn't until a week or so ago that I learned just what it was (I had, however, seen some of the blackface stuff from ages past within the past year). Dang, Mr. Popo, Jynx... I never knew! I just knew they looked kind of freaky. Popo, however, I liked, unlike Jynx... *shivers* T.J. Fuller, Jr. 08:43, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AG116-AG117

In the US will these two episodes be aired?? Jynx

As Jynx is purple, it is likely, (and as May's last Contest challenge, it will be hard for 4Kids to get around.) But we won't know for sure until we get to that point in the dub. Sonic Mew | talk to me 21:36, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

If Jynx was still the colour black in those two episodes would 4kids still air it???

Also why in Japan did they change the color of Jynx if the problem was only in America and maybe England??

• a decsent company would not want to offend anyone.

It doesn't seem to be a problem in England anyway, since we get "Holiday Hi-Jynx", but the above comment is corret. Sonic Mew | talk to me 19:51, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

This may or may not be interesting but pokémon.com still displays the original, black-faced image. --Celestianpower ^hab 20:01, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

• I have checked Pokemon.com like a hundred times, and there is no black. jynx 21:14, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

• AND THE ANSWER IS IT DID NOT AIR!!

and it would be pointless if they show it because it won't fit the storyline anymore jynx 21:11, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pokémon figurine

WHY DID THEY BAN THE JYNX Pokémon figurine COULDN'T THEY JUST PAINT OVER THE BLACK WITH SOME PURPLE??

It isn't even re-produced in Japan... and Nintendo of USA "claims" that Jynx is "not popular" in USA. XD

Well obviously they wouldn't admit their real reasoning. But re-painting costs a lot of money - Jynx certainly still isn't among the most popular so would it be worth it? Plus, the purple was only added in the third generation, so it has not had effect yet. Perhaps future models will be sneaked back in, but we don't know if the Jynx contest episode will air yet and they won't want more controversy. Sonic Mew | talk to me 19:49, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

• Seriously, even Jynx fans wouldn't buy Jynx stuff. I'm actually not joking... Only obsess Pokemon COLLECTORS would be bothered. (why am I replying an ancient question?...anyway) jynx 21:16, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Jynx figurines were actually released around 2000 with the other 151 Pokemon at the time. If you search on [Ebay] you will see they are black-skinned and not purple-skinned. Which means they were available prior to the Jynx controversy. Which makes one wonder if they're rare now. -24.92.41.95 19:22, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] sources

These three passages seem to be unsourced.

• The article is considered by fans of Pokémon as one of the main reasons for why a later episode featuring Jynx (titled Koori no dokutsu) featuring Jynx later on did not air in English, and the sole reason for why Holiday Hi-Jynx has not been aired again in the US. Similarly, the article is generally attributed as the reason for why Jynx was one of two Pokémon figurines (along with Elekid, because of the safety hazard posed by its plug-shaped head) that was not available for purchase at the New York Pokémon Center.
• It is also because of this that many believe that Smoochum, its pre-evolved form, has less of a human form, although the truth was that Smoochum's original design was pinkish-purple--never an offensive colour.
• It is infamous for being the only Pokémon not to have a figurine in the American Pokémon Center due to the above controversy.

"Generally considered"? "Generally attributed"? "Many believe"? "Infamous"? These are POV assertions that need some kind of supporting info. Thanks, -Willmcw 19:29, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

If we don't find sources shortly then I'm going to remove the statements. Thanks, -Willmcw 18:00, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

OK, I'm going to remove the unsourced text. -Willmcw 21:41, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

• I don't think these are from anywhere, its just from forums and it soon became general knowledge. None of the text in this page comes from any of the websites listed! The card series with Jynx which are listed in Wikibook came from http://pokecardex.com and http://pokemon.marriland.com (PS: Why are the links to the pictures are deleted? Reason is requested for the above incident.)jynx 17:57, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

• Personally, I disagree with putting "many believe" stuffs on this page, because they are unconfirmed stuff. I need a reason of why "many beleive"s should remain on this page. jynx
