How many times has this episode been shown? I've only seen it like once, they really should show it again. By now Santa should upgrade to Stantler instead of Rapidash.

They only showed this episode once in the U.S. (Holiday season 1999). The reason for that is that many people think that Jynx is a stereo-type of African Americans. That is the reason why they only showed this once.

Actually, it was shown at least twice, I know that for a fact. I was able to get this one on tape and it avoided being taped over somehow, so now I'm pretty proud to have one of the unnoficial banned episodes, even though I'm pretty sure you can still buy it. Really it wasn't a very good episode though. I mean, the whole christmas thing was all good, but I just never really liked the actual episode too much. I always thought it was confusing how TR were just randomly in that big castle up on the cliff for no apperent reason. The introduction of Lapras was kinda cool, and it was amusing how Jynx was always trying to kiss Brock.

Not to mention that this episode pushed the surrealism factor further than it's ever gone before or since - a guest appearance from Santa Claus? PLEASE.

**Kamex** · 17th December 2004, 6:06 PM

They must have showed this about 5 years ago, or something. Man, I'll probably never see it again...

Yes, and I'm sure a world where monsters shoot unlimited supplies of fire and water from their mouths is real. >_>

Didn't like how the dub handled changing Musashi's past. Sure, the whole "not believing in Santa Clause" bit could have worked. But the problem was she still DID. Only she believed he was a Jynx. XD

I love this episode- I mean, Santa Claus having tons of Jynx? Just. Awesome. In the UK, Toonami should show this episode, along with "Snow Way Out", on Christmas Eve.

I just watched this episode the other day to put myself in the Christmas mood. It's so weird now, after watching season seven for so long, to hear Ash when his voice was an octave higher.

Anyway, I really like this episode because it's so different from the norm, and it's a chance for Team Rocket to shine (when they're not being badniks, of course), which is so rare nowadays. I like the end when jynx gives them the sweet kiss too.

This is definitely a great episode for the holidays.

**Chris** · 27th December 2004, 11:13 PM

Ruujura used Lovely Kiss, not Sweet Kiss. This was before Johto. >.>

**IceKing** · 27th December 2004, 11:25 PM

I remember the joy I felt when this episode aired. I always thougth Jynx was so awesome after seeing her on the pokerap. I was like Whoa that pokemon is so cool. Jynx's kiss knocked the pokemon out which was awesome. I liked the way she used her psychci powers to show them memories and such. This episode also explained Jynx's part ice type, they come from the North Pole! Santa Claus was great add in too.

You can still get this episode on video. I'm not sure which one though. It wasn't really that great because when I saw it, it wasn't (unofficially) banned yet.

**MISTYFAN4EVER8887** · 17th January 2005, 6:17 PM

This episode is featured on the "Battle at the PokéCorral" tape. I found it at Blockbuster once and hope to rent it.

**CyberCubed** · 17th January 2005, 6:20 PM

Indeed. The episode is on DVD and VHS.

**ChaosMage** · 18th February 2005, 10:20 PM

Oh, the contreversy is good! And now, of course, she's purple. Huzzah!

**Tazzler** · 1st May 2005, 10:59 PM

jynx is one of my favorite pokemon and im glad there was an episode entirely devoted to her it was funny that santa clause has jynxes instead of elves

**xyzman123** · 11th May 2005, 1:39 AM

I never saw this episode, but I know it is really weird.

**Lil Brother** · 18th July 2005, 9:06 AM

By far the oddest of the Kanto episodes. I didn't like it, but becuase of the ban I want to see it again. >_<

3/10.

**SugarFairy** · 4th August 2005, 5:38 PM

i have seen this episode in both english and japanese. i like this episode. they dont show many episodes with jynx in it. to bad too it would be nice seeing jynx again. how many appearcns has jynx made in the us? i think about 1 or 2. sad isnt it? this episode was pretty good ^^ but yet confusing

**Team Rocket Admin** · 15th August 2005, 11:15 PM

I saw this episode once, and I liked it. I want to see it again. Damn you Weatherford.

How can Ash has a Charmander when he is Charizard

This episode and "Snow Way Out" were originally scheduled to air earlier in season one, but were delayed due to the seizure episode "Electric Soldier Porygon", which took the show off the air for four months in Japan, past the Christmas season. At least it's nice watching them in the midst of Charizard being a jerk, and we get to see what a nice little charmander he was once.

I am very good at remembering dates and they definetly DID show this episode more than one.

On Wed July 26, 2000 Kids WB reran this episode, I remember watching it that day.

This episode is still avalible on the Video/DVD The Pokecorral

And the reason why Ash stil has Charmander and Misty doesn't have Togepi yet is because this episode actually takes place just before the episode "Pikachu's Goodbye", but the problems with the episode "Electric Hero Porygon" (when the epsiode gave kids cezures) caused this episode and the other episode "Snow Way Out" to be delayed to Epsiodes 65/66.

I also really liked this episode because I thought it was funny that Team Rocket tied up Santa Claus and tried to rob his presents.

**JONNO.FRESH** · 4th July 2006, 12:40 PM

This epi was ok. Jesse thinking Jynx was santa was dumb. Lapras was awesome in this epi. 8/10
