I will never not be furious that Electabuzz and Magmar got evolutions while Jynx was left high and dry. They've always felt like a trio to me, especially when they all got pre-evos in gen 2 together, so i really don't understand the skip.

[@Skeloperch]

@@theoryoftheinnocent Yeah, it kinda sucks. Then again, if Gen 8 introduced a Jynx evo and offensive Eviolite, Jynx and Scyther would be dunking on Lando, Greninja and the Tapus for #1 OU mons. Still would like to see an evolution with +20 to Speed/SpD/HP/SpA. Keep it having Dry Skin and it'd become a serious UU/OU threat. Or, even better, give it Storm Drain and Freeze Dry and watch it dab on Pelipper, Gyarados, and Greninja.

@@aceclover758 I never understood the weakness to rock consider ice erodes rock as well. But rock doesn't need anything else being weak to it.

Resist ground I agree bug yes and no - so much resists bug, fairy shouldn't resist bug in my opinion though, they are way too strong. Flying, yeah I could see that.

[@Psycho3418]

Well Gamefreak have thrown Ice-types some bone. More mons have gotten Snow Warning, Freeze-Dry exists. And this gen they got the ability Slush Rush so they could have their own weather-speed boost ability and maybe most meta-defining this gen is Alola-Ninetales with Aurora Veil. But while that's all well and good they have yet to address the underlying problem with the Ice-type. It's a poor defensive typing. Until they do that Ice-types as a whole are never becoming a mainstay barring a select few who hit the jackpot with typing, ability, stats and movepool.

I actually used to like Jynx when it came out and it seemed to fit kinda nicely with Magmar and Electabuzz (all three used red, yellow and black in different ratios). but then there was the "drama" and "changes" and I slowly stopped caring for it. (that same "drama" is what is stopping it from getting its item trade evo). What nintendo needs to do is : 1) Make a new pure ice type human shape pokemon that replaces Nicki Minaj's cold older sister. 2) Give it the same specifications as the Magmar/Electabuzz lines (evolve at lv 30 + item trade evo+ 75% male ratio) 3) Give the new line some "bulk" (high HP and/or Defense and/or Special Defense) 4) Allow the pokemon w/ baby forms to not have to be hatched as babies (eg: Roselia and Mr.Mime) but give the baby forms moves that the basic forms cannot learn (eg: Pichu learns Sweet Kiss and Nasty Plot but Pikachu cannot) 5) Properly showcase the dichotomy of the new Ice line with Magmar and Electabuzz. (one is available in both games while the other two are version exclusives. And cycle through them from time to time [but have all three available in final/some versions]) 6) Make the new Ice line compatible w/ Jynx (like breeding for moves that Jynx otherwise cannot get) 7) Fix the sleep mechanic, Put Dark Void back to 80 accuracy, Hypnosis back to 70 accuracy ; and make a new sleep inducing Ice Move 8) Put Ice Beam & Blizzard (and any corresponding moves) back to 95 Damage and 120 Damage respectively 9) Make Ice resistant to _fairy_ and also make _fairy_ weak to Dark and Ghost

My favorite part about this series of videos is that you guys started off with a lot of generation 1 Pokémon because they obviously have more history and have been in the spotlight the longest. I am bringing thus up because I am concerned. Even with the one upload a week, you guys have covered a majority of Pokémon that allow you to have a large info packed episode. Clearly competitive Pokémon still is going strong, but gen 4 Pokémon or older are basically the only ones you can have enough content for the amazing videos you guys make. BUT now that a new generation is coming it gives some more wiggle room for more Pokémon history :) it makes me happy knowing I can still continue to enjoy False Swipe Gaming videos for at least awhile longer.

"got utterly pounded by jynx's bone"

[@noblefatass26]

In spite of the unfortunate controversy surrounding it's design, Jynx always had one of the most unique designs and interesting back-stories to me. I like how it's based on a Yokai, but the blackface thing was always going to draw controversy. I always pictured it's hair being a wig that the Yokai spirit latched itself onto, and used it as a conduit to manifest it's physical form. If there is ever to be an evolution given to Jynx (slim to none, but one can dream), it would be nice to see how they could expand on the back-story of the design itself. Jynx is honestly one of the most mysterious Pokemon out there, aside from it's sleep inducing kisses and penchant for dancing, we know virtually nothing else about it. What does it feed on, does it have any natural predators/enemies? Where does it get it's ice and psychic abilities from? There's a lot of room for potential growth there, and it'd be intriguing to see what could come of it, although odds are GF won't risk generating further controversy with it...but ehh, who knows?

I want so so sooooo much to see Jynx finally gain a boost /mega/evolution to come back again in the meta If she gain access to psychic surge and expanding forces along with some speed and special boost... Then Jynx would be again an ou queen

You know what they say, “save the best for last.”

[@onkive]

It's 2019 and Jynx STILL doesn't have an evolution. They must be scared it'll end up triggering people again for being rAcIsT.

[@HardGuess]

Why is it racist?

[@johnmass9942]

The thing is based of a golliwog doll (I think) which is racist doll. They could just redesign jynx to make her look better but I don't think redesigning Pokemon par pikachu is on the menu.

[@greatscott7691]

@@johnmass9942 I don't know where you heard that golliwog doll thing from. Jynx is based on the Yamamba/Yama Uba yokai of Japanese mythology. She's a mountain witch usually depicted with long golden white hair and dark skin in Noh dramas. There's even a fashion trend in Japan where girls will put on dark make-up and dye their hair golden white or some other weird color that's named after Yamamba.

I'm playing Pokemon Crystal, and I was trying to choose between a Sneasel or a Jynx so I can take down some dragon types. I decided to use Jynx. Thank you so much. Your videos helped.

[@silverkyrie4714]

I wonder how good it'd be if it actually got an evolution like Electabuzz and Magmortar did.

[@gengarzilla1685]

Given how well Jynx has done over the years _without_ an evolution, said evolution would certainly blow Electivire and Magmortar out of the water. As long as they focus on what Jynx is good at: Offenses. Don't bother fixing the defenses.

[@aceclover758]

Jynx carried me through my initial red playthrough First time playing so I did every in game trade and found this monster. IT carried me all the way till the Elite 4, where its frail defense was not great until Lance. Jynx at level 50 one shotted his Dragonite with Ice beam (I also used every stat boost item on Jynx) Jynx is a monster. Once you have it, the whole game becomes easier and it can destroy everyhing except waters, Blaine and Koga depending on level and his poke are bulky. It really is a glass cannon.

[@floresarmando4318]

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

We can still get more gen1 Pokemon, there are others that haven't been covered yet; they just aren't OU that generation and probably aren't going to be the most interesting things in the world to look at in the competitive meta, so I wouldn't rule out the possibility of seeing more of them in future videos.

[@juliantapia1407]

I've always had a soft spot for jynx, so I'm glad she's done pretty well over all
