It could have gotten an evo alongside Electabuzz and Magmar in Gen 4, but it didn't, and instead, we got Froslass, a new Pokemon based on a similar concept

Gen 8 gave Mr. Mime an Ice/Psychic variant and evo

Mega Jynx was scrapped and now we're getting Froslass instead

I like her. I wish she got something new lately. Weird how Magmar and Electabuzz got more stuff, but Jynx only got a baby.

Yeah it's honestly kind of messed up. Even Porygon got evolutions despite the anime banning it.

Leaked stuff shows that Nintendo executives still sweat over how Jynx is perceived in the west. That's why all of her extra stuff has been scrapped over the years, including a planned mega evolution.

They made the bitch purple and it still wasn't enough. She has literally, more than any other Pokemon, been robbed.

Mr. Mime is uglier and creepier in my opinion. Jynx wouldn’t even be considered all that bad, just kinda weird and too humanlike, if it weren’t for the nothingburger blackface controversy
>>58235142
>>58235267
Hell, even Porygon only got fucked over in the anime. Game wise it’s been treated very well, 2 whole evolutions AND a busted Z move that briefly made it OU viable in gen 7. Porygon2 is also a solid trick room mon in doubles to this very day.

She still regularly appears as trading cards etc. despite any potential controversy, so she isn't going anywhere. I doubt she'll ever get any kind of spotlight again though, so no Megas, evolutions, regional forms, etc.

Magmar and Electabuzz weren't anything special. The boost is needed and in Jynx's case, definitely needed. It wasn't a slouch compared to the other two but it also needed some more to it. Dry Skin is a good ability though.

Could they get away with just fully redesigning the original Jynx from scratch altogether? Keeping the stats, movepool, dex entires and everything; just making it look like something different entirely
Does Jynx have enough fans to where that would piss off too many people?

It caused to much of an effect to be memory holed and is intentionally ignored.
There needs to be a list of the ripple effect Jynx had on this franchise.
The effects still continue to this day.
Who knew a design that was originally based on the original Ultraman homage Pokemon was became this.
To think this Pokemon was considered an ace of many NPC trainers known for their feminine charms only to be retconned because of some conceited negress

Even as a kid everyone hated it without knowing the cultural nono its design was. Why the fuck would anyone expect a fat lady with clear breast cups and ugly wig be even close to a well-liked design? Changing the skin color from black to purple doesn't change the fact that it's just a hideous design.
