Controversy
In 2000, children's book author Carole Boston Weatherford published an article complaining that the original design bore a striking resemblance to blackface actors, a racist image from America's past.[3] She has described the Pokémon as "a dead ringer for an obese drag queen,"[4] In response to this controversy, in 2000 Nintendo changed Jynx's face from black to purple and its hands from blue to purple in localized versions, a change which would be reflected several years later in the Japanese versions of the games and the Advanced Generation anime. The newly-redesigned Jynx has white arms, whilst the arms of the original Jynx were red.
Thats silly
Indeed, Political correctness gone mad.

Tom4784 14-06-2008 11:46 PM

Saffron, I love that city, you could get Lapras and one of the 'hit' pokemon there.

Scarlett. 14-06-2008 11:47 PM

Tom4784 14-06-2008 11:48 PM

Tom4784 14-06-2008 11:52 PM

Psychic pokemon which were really powerful in R/B since they didn't have many weaknesses apart from ghosts.

Scarlett. 14-06-2008 11:54 PM

Aye

Lol but remember Magikarp saved em from the St Anne

Tom4784 15-06-2008 12:04 AM

indeed, in the newer games there's a similar pokemon called Feebas who evolved into a real powerful pokemon called Milotic. To get it was a nightmare but to evolve it was just evil. It was quite powerful though.

Scarlett. 15-06-2008 12:07 AM

Aye lol Im sure they just do it to annoy us

BigSister 15-06-2008 12:07 AM

marowak and cubone bone bone ^_^

Tom4784 15-06-2008 12:09 AM

Lol Feebas took the p*ss lol you had to fish in a lake that was 365 tiles big, Feebas only appeared in six tiles and each time you went to the lake it the tiles would change. Then, once you found Feebas you had to raise it's beauty to maximum which took ages since you had to find and grow berries. It was horrific, but Milotic was powerful.

I hated the way they just said their own names.
