[[File:124Jynx OS anime.png|thumb|right|Jynx's original design in the anime|150px]]
{{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, a cultural critic, claimed that Jynx, which appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', was a negative racial stereotype of African-Americans in an article titled "Politically Incorrect Pokémon" on the magazine ''Black World Today''. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'', and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} franchise, a character who is also potentially offensive in his design.

Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in the Pokémon franchise. The sprites of Jynx in the Western releases of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} were edited, and [[EP250]] was cut from international airings of the anime. A sequence depicting Jynx in its original design in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'' was also cut from the dub. Jynx's design was officially revised by [[Game Freak]] to be purple rather than black, and this change was reflected in later [[core series]] games, including in Japan and South Korea, beginning with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and in the {{pkmn|anime}} starting in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''. Jynx has also been recolored in [[VIZ Media]]'s reissues of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Although the manga is colored in black-and-white, Jynx appearing in the manga are recolored as a dark gray rather than a straight black, suggesting that they are purple instead of black. It is also recolored to purple on the back cover of the reissue of {{PAV|4}}. The [[Virtual Console]] versions of {{g|Snap}} and {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} also recolor Jynx's face.

In recent years, some fans of Pokémon have noted that Jynx may be inspired by {{wp|ganguro}}, a Japanese fashion where women tan heavily, bleach their hair, and apply large amounts of makeup, instead of a black stereotype. This theory is mainly based on Jynx's long, straight, blonde hair, a common attribute of ganguro fashion. Another theory is that Jynx is based on a Nordic princess as per the legends saying things like due to the blistering cold, a princess's skin turned black. They argue that Jynx's hair looks more like royalty than an African stereotype. They also say that being based on a {{wp|Viking}} could reason why they are {{t|Ice}} type. This is further expressed by Jynx sharing traits with the iconic opera singing "{{wp|It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings|Fat Lady}}," who is pop-culturally portrayed dressed as the {{wp|valkyrie}} {{wp|Brünnhilde}}.
