Jynx's original design wasn't black face, it was supposed to parody the weird fashion in Japan at the time called Ganguro. It was a trend where teenagers bleach their hair, have tan skin, and brightly colored makeup in a strange way to rebel against on what was normally considered attractive. Although the term in english is black face, the sole intent wasn't to mock a certain race. Hell, even Jesse and James were doing it in episode 16.
It isn't the only time when americans look for blackface among people from other countries who have no idea what it is, because they have different culture maybe and have literally nothing to do with blackface.
Idk man I literally see nothing political or cultural with a person or animal being completely black. I think it adds some variety to the world you know. Why cant everyone think like me? In the end the intention of the guy who made it matters. Not what you percieve of it.
Not even that.
It's Japanese name is literally ice witch Wich also happens to be the name of a character from Japanese mythology who's defining feature is having blond hair, skin covered in frost bite and dancing on top of icy mountains
Now read jynx's Pokedex entries
@@inu4771 theres cultural differences ofc 💀 thats how most things are, its not that Americans are being sensitive it just that in their culture norms, with a history of racism ofc they would be a little upset due to the resemblance, its not as if nintendo did it on purpose
*ethnicity
Ahh yes, talking to a happy Pikachu out of Pokéball is like the the most heartwarming nostalgia from that game
Pokemon yellow has some of the coolest sprite art.
Mew > Bart. Bart > Mew; Bart-tholo-Mew?
Eat my Legendaries, -Matt
the Mew trade could have been possibly been a placeholder for a potential giveaway at certain events.
i wish there were episodes of this about R/G and japanese B vs international R/B. you don't hear much about japanese blue, which is ironically what they used for international RB xD
Pfft thats all Pokenerds talk about
@@HistoryandReviews I've yet to see a vid detailing jp blue tbh; all the unique in-game trades, mons locations and so on
Japanese gets the best version of the games
No they don't... They get the glitchy messes. They might as well be the beta testers.
America does have the missingno glitch tho
No, Japanese version is like a beta-test and it's very glitchy
@@banana-uo3be is that true?
Red and green came out first in Japan. Blue came after and was the “final” version of what we got in the states.
The official name of the Yellow Version of Pokemon in both Japan and elsewhere is definitely "Pokemon: Special Pikachu Edition", because the official name of the original games were both "Pokemon". The version colors and differences were solely there to promote player trading and increase sales, the color being a sub-title that denoted which mons were available to you so players could quickly identify other players. It wasn't until generation 2 that the colors were meant to be the actual game title since they realized that's what people were calling them anyway.
Exactly. Thus its not called "Pokemon Red" but Pokemon: Red Version. So at the point of yellows release its been Pokemon and Pokemon Special Pikachu Edition. And its been like that everywhere, not just in Japan. In fact it even says it on the cover. No clue how one would miss that
@@dreckel6572 I am not sure what you think I missed...
If you google and look at the original carts for Red and Blue, they just read "Pokemon". The colours were specifically as a way to denote the available Pokemon for player trading as a way to increase sales. With Yellow, the cart just reads "Pokemon: Special Pikachu Edition". In the first gen, the subtext "Red Version", "Blue Version", and "Yellow Version" were just there was a way to identify them for parents, and people buying the games as gifts.
It wasn't until Gen 2 where "Silver Version", "Gold Version", and "Crystal Version" were used as direct subtitles. Which saved them from calling Crystal "Special Suicune Edition". Though if we're going to get specific, the games of Gen 2 are actually called "Pokemon GS: Silver Version" and so on.
@@DeepFriedOreoOffline sorry, it was a "general you". I didnt mean you. Changed it to "one" to make it more clear. I completely agree with what you said (which was basically the whole point of my comment)
@@dreckel6572 Oh okay, lol. I was a little confused, I thought you were agreeing with me, but you never know here
Technically neither one is supposed to be blackface. Mr. Popo is a genie, and Jynx is based on a witch from Japanese folklore called Yama-uba or Yamanba. The term Yamanba is also used to describe a variation of the Ganguro fashion in Japan, where girls have dark tans, bleached hair and copious amounts of makeup.

Wish you make similar videos comparison of USA and Japanese games
I think the reason beedrill isnt called stinger is due to firstly not being some sort of word play like every other pokemon name, but also because of the "stinger" rocket being heavily used in 1980s/1990s wars. So esp in the US that might not have been the best option to name a monster in a kids game just like that.
The American Kirby is Hardcore trope applies to this game. Jynx's sprite changed in VC.
I don't see a problem with back Jynx cauze the people who think they are being referred are brown, not black.
well, yellow technically isnt a GBC game but a GameBoy game. Even if you play the original games (Blue and Red), theyll have a certain tone to them depending on the version. So instead of the Gamboys monochrome, on GBC it would be "monored"/"monoblue" so to say. Same with Pokemon Yellow, its a GameBoy game with the special feature of having color if you play it on GBC. Which doesnt make it a GBC game. It also was released as a GameBoy game, not as a GBC game. First Pokemon games to be release like that are Silver and Gold (as you probably know)
I have the Japanese version of pocket monsters yellow pikachu for the original nintendo gameboy
Huh... I always imagined jynx with blackface, totally didn’t know that her sprites been changed.
Wouldn't surprise me if Gamefreak tried a Mew for a Mew trade given the crazy things they've done by this point.
Wait.. Jynx? So what black ppl are being censored? I guess they need to change the colour of the orcs in LotR too..
Can you play via link cable pokemon japan vs pokemon usa?
No, the letters and Japanese symbols take space and there is not enough space to include both the latin (or English) alphabet and the Japanese kana
hey so, the Gameboy Color's BIOS or something has built-in colors for certain Gameboy games including Red, Green, & Blue. Now then, does the Gameboy Color have a palette for Japanese Yellow?
also including yellow, since its a GameBoy game, not a GameBoy Color game
@@dreckel6572 *Japanese* Yellow is a Gameboy game, _International_ Yellow is a Gameboy Color game that's compatible with the original Gameboy.
@@brawlfan yes youre right, its actually listed as one!
I was confused because the cover uses the GameBoy template, not the GameBoy Color template that eg Silver, Gold and Crystal use
The fucking intro lmfao
"Marty" Marty mcfly
"Bart" Bart Simpson
Big popcalture at the time
0:50 It worked for me 😂
Needs background music
That black face character was a thing in Japan for some reason for a long time. I think because they are so homogeneous they don't have awareness about race relations but I also don't understand why black face would even be a thing over there.
It's called Ganguro stupid.......
Please do a video comparison of Pokèmon yellow vs let's go Pikachu version 👍😎👍
American Pikachu is hardcore.
Lol me mad grrrr
When I was watching dbz I didn't even think anything black related when I saw mr popo. Just tells about how bloated this issue is in usa and how no one even cares about it anywhere else. Hell, there's probably like ten black people in whole japan. People are just unaware and clueless about stuff like this
I would say things have changed in Japan because of Jynx not getting changed back, even in the HD re-release in Japan (of the anime), but things were definitely different 20 years ago when both Jynx and Mr. Popo was made. -Matt
Im completely with you but to be fair black face definitely had bad intentions in the States. It was like Jewish propaganda in Germany.
Anyone who thinks Popo isn’t racist is just fooling themselves. His original voice is this horrendous sounding black caricature but speaking Japanese. Not to mention the other portrayals of black people in DB.
It's not racist and who cares...........
yooooooooooo
Ughhh, just talk about the games 😔
also pikachu in non jap version is the red/blue pikachu (fat rat) as opposed to the anime cute lean pikachu
