Holiday Hi-Jynx
This episode is from the Indigo League series of the original Pokémon series. This episode is the first to feature a new Pokémon called Jynx, which resembles, according to sources, an African-American female, with long blonde hair, and big lips (it had big lips due to one of its attacks being a "kiss" attack). The episode "Holiday Hi-Jynx" aired on Kids WB!, and not everyone was happy with the new Pokemon.
A woman named Carole B. Weatherford wrote an artikulo about Jynx, saying it was racist to African-American people, and soon after, the episode was removed from rotation. Also, this caused other episodes involved with Jynx to be banned. Nintendo ended up changing Jynx to purple to keep the racism rumors down. Even though they changed Jynx, future episodes ended up ipinapakita Jynx as it is, and episodes which has Jynx as a main character are usually banned. One of those known episodes is "Kōri no Dōkutsu!", known madami commonly as "The Ice Cave". The episode was part of the Master Quest series, originally as episode 252, but was banned due to its heavy focus on Jynx. Brock gets sick while in an ice cave, and is taken to a Pokémon Center in the cave, and instead of Chansey as nurses, Nurse Joy has a Jynx, which plays a main role in the episode, and Jynx, instead of being purple, has the same black face as it did in "Holiday Hi-Jynx", thus causing its ban after its first, and only, air. The episode was never seen outside of Asia except Brazil. There was an English dub made sa pamamagitan ng 4-Kids Entertainment, but wasn't aired after the ban.
