:It doesn't really matter that they're not hairy, but that's the only time Jynx has been shown to have feet when it's generally accepted that Jynx doesn't have any.

==Redesign Date== | |||
The article says that Nintendo changed Jynx's design for Ruby/Sapphire. But... um... is it just me or did Gold/Silver already have the redesigned Jynx? Her lips are smaller, her face and hands are purple, and her arms are white, just like the redesigned version. {{unsigned|Razzia}} | |||

technically no as, despite what its name may suggest, mr. mime can be both male and female and jynx has no anatomical or evolutionary relation to mr. mime. --- [[User:Eevee Obsessed 008|Eevee Obsessed 008]] | |||
== Native Region == | |||
Jynx is not available in the Kanto region except through the trade in Cerulean City, should it be noted that perhaps Jynx may not be native to Kanto? --- [[User:Convoy|Convoy]] | |||
:In HGSS, Jynx can be caught in [[Seafoam Islands]]. While it may have been imported there, or have migrated there, it would be speculation to say that it isn't from Kanto. This goes against Bulbapedia policy. `—'''<span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="color:#000">darklord</span>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 09:08, 22 January 2010 (UTC) | |||

==Possible name trivia== | |||
Is it worth noting that, if "y" is not counted, Jynx has no vowels in its name (and is the only Pokémon for which this is true)? --[[User:Jared|Ja]]<span style="color:#FF0000; background:#FF0000">[[User talk:Jared|red]]</span> 20:59, 4 February 2010 (UTC) | |||
:But that's just the thing.. "Y" is ''sometimes'' a vowel. There are even words in English that have "w" being the vowel. [[User:Kektklik|Kektklik]] 03:39, 19 April 2010 (UTC) | |||
== Racial stereotype? == | |||
Personally I disagree with Carole Wethorfords opinion. Jynx is tinted purple, not brown. The original desighn was jet black, not brown. Is black magic racist? Are shadows racist? Are black cats racist? If so than she would have alot of problems with fiction. Second, Jynx has blonde hair. The only blondes I know are caucasions. Wethorforde must have a lot of problems with evil.{{unsigned|SeanWheeler}} | |||
:That may all be, but doesn't change the fact there was controversy about that Pokémon. This is, quite frankly, not the page to discuss whether the controversy was justified, the most you could discuss whether it belongs into the article.--[[User:Afrael|Afrael]] 18:02, 4 April 2010 (UTC) | |||
== Longest cry? == | |||
Does Jynx have the longest cry of any Pokémon, and if not, which Pokémon does? <small>- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Absolution}} ([[User talk:Absolution|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Absolution|contribs]]) ''</small> | |||
:[[♀ .]] has the longest cry of any Pokémon, regular or glitched. Only in [[Pokémon Yellow]] though. As for real Pokémon, I have no clue. --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 23:53, 30 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
Okay, I tried looking it up in my Pokédex in my Pokemon White Version game and found that of all the Pokemon I have seen in it, Jynx has the longest cry with over 2:13 seconds. {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Samurott}}, and {{p|Klinklang}} come pretty close, though.

== Controversy and Origin sections == | |||
I think these sections need a major overhaul. They have a very biased tone. Whoever wrote them seems determined to leave the reader with the idea that Jynx is a racist steryotype and that other ideas are less valid. I'd rewrite it myself but I thought i should give some warning before such a major edit.[[User:Bug Catcher Wade|<span style="color: Purple;">'''Bug Catcher Wade'''</span>]] 06:58, 15 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
== Trivia == | |||
"As its Pokédex entries state that it speaks a language that sounds like human, the player, as a Pokémon, cannot understand anything of what it says in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon..." | |||
I think it's just that what Jynx says does not make sense to anyone, humans or Pokémon. Period. I'm wondering whether anyone else agrees/disagrees. --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 20:02, 30 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I would assume that other Jynx can understand each other. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 12:43, 1 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Jynx Origin stuff. also Dress is based on theater curtains? == | |||
I was checking in on this fat lady origin; its kind of cool and I never gave it much thought. | |||
Anyways, should some mention be made about how Jynx is (ironically?) part ice, and that the character she may be based on (to some degree) dies by riding a horse into fire? | |||
I mean, it kinda makes sense considering Ice types are week against fire, and not to sound racist or insensitive...but obviously you'd have blackened skin if you went into a fire. | |||
Also, is it too opinionated to say that her red dress is like Curtains like at the Opera or any stage theater? Theater curtains are almost always depicted as Red. | |||
I've seen blue, gold, silver and white used as the color of the Opera singer's costume in depictions of the fat lady singing, or the opera she hails from. So i don't think the choice for Jynx having a red dress was completely based on one depiction if any. (playing devils advocate, am not ripping on the fat lady singing thing) but the point is that her dress carries a likeness to curtains.

I'm not sure if this was mentioned in the bioloical section of this wiki page. Also maybe it ties into her origin somehow? [[User:Flintlock|Flintlock]] ([[User talk:Flintlock|talk]]) 14:17, 27 April 2013 (UTC) | |||

As seen [https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Yellow#Jynx here]. Not sure how exactly one would implement this into the current sprite section, given its current layout.
