Jynx originally bore a striking, but possibly coincidental, resemblance to entertainers in {{wp|blackface}}. It is argued that Jynx may instead be a parody of or homage to the Japanese {{wp|Ganguro}} and {{wp|Ganguro#Yamanba|Yamanba}} fashion trends, which were extremely popular when Pokémon was first released; however, blackface-influenced characters have appeared in other anime and manga such as {{wp|Dragon Ball}}'s Mr. Popo and in {{wp|Metropolis (manga)|Metropolis}}.
