Oh give me a break. A Jynx has no likeness to anyone black. I'm at a school that has tons of blacks, and none of them even have a slight resemblance to a Jynx.

Also, isn't Jynx supposed to be rather helpful, just overly affectionate? I mean, don't Jynx help Santa out during Christmas in one episode? If this girl was so insulted by Jynx, they should have pulled that one off the air too.
 
Actually, as I recall, the episode where Brock is sick (and almost kisses Jynx) was banned because the symptoms that Brock was having were very similar to the SARS virus (Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome, I think) - which didn't hit us so bad in Australia, but caused a severe toll on China and other such places. Not sure about America and Japan, but I dont' think they had a death-toll of 0.

(After all, if a little kid found that one of their friends was sick, and then passed away, and now Brock is like that too, it can be quite distressing for the wee tykes.)
That makes more sense, in my opinion.
 
Both seem to really strech it. What about the episode when he has a fever and dreams about the 3 girls he can never catch? Is that SARS like? I don't think so. SARS is just a strong case of the flu that is most likely going to be around for all time. A fever is a fever is a fever, so let him have the fever and show the darn episode.
 
With the Jynx eppy, I think it was banned for both of the reasons. Blast the mean girl and blast stupid SARS!
 
Well the SARS outbreak is done. Now we just have to prove the girl wrong and they can finally bring the episode back. Any ideas of how we might prove that 1: Jynx is not a person or 2: It has no characteristics similar to a stereotypical black?
 
We'd have to e-mail 4Kids. However, it takes them months and months to answer e-mails, and I doubt they would re-air it.
 
That's what lost episodes are for. Remember, we were deep into Orange Island Season 3 when the episode after the humans were separated from their Pokemon after being trapped in dragon rage.
 
I HAVE THE OFFICIAL ANSWER!
(from an email a person sent to 4Kids)

3. Will the ice cave episode with the Nurse Joy who owns a Jynx be aired? Was it dubbed? If not, to either of these questions, why won't it be aired or dubbed?

NO, THIS EPISODE WILL NEVER AIR. THE CHARACTER OF JYNX HAPPENS TO BE A CONTROVERSIAL POKEMON HERE IN AMERICA THAT SOME FIND OFFENSIVE.

So, there's the answer. They are not airing the episode ever.

As for the other episode, it was banned for James blowing up his fake breasts in one scene. It probably took them a while to consider editing the episode and then doing so. However, the Jynx one can't be edited because then there will be no episode.
 
I know about that incident with Lost Episode #1, and that was just plain sad that the writers stooped to that level. It must have taken a while to edit that.
 
What do you mean "stooped to that level?" If they would have aired the episode unedited, Pokemon would probably never be allowed to air on TV again.

As for editing it, I think they just cut out the scene. I have seen the Japanese ep of it on the net, and it only lasts a few seconds with some people cheering afterwards.
 
I guess you are right on that. That is the ONLY episode of Pokemon ever to have any adult content on it.

And since I am sure someone is going to bring up the Dratini ep, that was banned because the warden was shooting TR. I have also seen that ep on the net (look it Pojo's archives for the link) and it really is not all that bad, though there will always be some evil person to say something. That ep had three major events - the apperance of Dratini and Dragonair (if you watch the original PokeRap, the moving pics of them are from the actual ep), Ash captures a ton of Tauros, and - - - - - - - Misty's Lure #3 is shown. :)
 
outta curiousity, does anyone know the girls name who wrote about how offensive Jynx is... I wanna breed a Shiney Jynx in GSC and name it after her (that isnt wrong is it???)
 
Don't think we could say even if we wanted to. Her privacy should be respected, its just she should lighten up a little. And yes, I believe that would be wrong. It would give her another reason to hate Jynx and Pokemon in general.
 
by attacking Jynx with 'Liquid Paper correctional fluid'. Of course, then it will look like a member of the KKK, but you win some, you lose some... :p
 
It gave them a valid reason to go to the Orange Islands, nothing really more. Then, it reappeared and gave them a reason to go to Johto and see Kurt, then Ash got hooked.
