Jynx
Jynx ( ), known in Japan as Rougela (Japanese: ルージュラ, Hepburn: Rūjura), is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Jynx first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and sequels, later appearing in various merchandise, spinoff titles, or animated and printed adaptations of the franchise. While no English voice actors have been attributed for the character, in Japan they have been voiced by Mayumi Tanaka, Chie Satō, and Chiyako Shibahara.
Jynx's design and humanoid appearance has been criticized by media outlets, including cultural critic Carole Boston Weatherford, who described Jynx as representing blackface after seeing the character's depiction in the anime. Due to complaints, Game Freak modified its appearance by changing the original color of its skin from black to the current color, purple.
