maybe we could have a blackface devil
kind of like Jynx eh?
Ven, I find you to be a likeable hume, but as dubious as Jynx's design may have been, it has come to be believed to be originally based on a Nordic or Viking woman, or a being of Norse mythology known as the Hel, Goddess of the underworld. Some related depictions of her include an opera singer.
Going further, some believe that the being of Japanese mythos known as Yuki-onna (snow woman) or Yamauba—two beings whose physical attributes match those of Jynx—may have served as inspiration for Jynx's design. This appears to coincide with her appearances in those Christmas-themed episodes. Furthermore, this and the above example all seem to fit in line with Jynx's typing (Ice/Psychic). (Also, see ganguro)

Altogether, it was a massive "whoops" on Game Freak's behalf to have proposed such a design to us "ignerred, unculturrd 'murricans." In any event, her skin tone was altered to a purple hue.
