	Yes, old versions of G/S, [[Jynx]] had black skin. However, this seemed to spark a lawsuit in someones mind, and quickly Jynx was called a "racist stereotype" and "politically incorrect Pokémon", and Nintendo was probably sued shortly thereafter. This caused Jynx to suffer an unfortunate [[leopard fail]] afterwards. This attack raises some eyebrows though, such as why this crazy [[bitch]] didn't attack other characters like her, such as [[Mr. Popo]] from [[DBZ]].

		+
		+	== Changes from the originals to the Remake ==
		+	The following elements were changed from the originals to the remake:
		+	*The cast, notably Silver and the Kanto Gym Leaders, were all given revamped or updated designs to match the Generation IV theme. The Rocket Executives were given unique designs as well.
		+	*The male player character informally known as '''Gold'''('''ヒロキ''', ''Hiroki'' in the Japanese versions) was renamed officially as '''Ethan''' ('''ヒビキ''' ''Hibiki'')
		+	*Krys, the original female version of Ethan was replaced by [[Lyra]].
		+	*The chosen player will now appear in minor events throughout the story, much like [[Lucas]] and [[Dawn]] did in Diamond and Pearl.
		+	*A minor redistribution of Pokémon levels throughout the game was made to balance the gameplay and slow down the story slightly.
		+	**Some Pokémon teams, notably those of the later foes, were altered slightly. An example is Blue/Green having Machoke instead of Alakazam.
		+	*Many characters, such as Lance, the Kimono Girls, and Clair, had their roles expanded to make them reoccurring characters, much like in the vain of [[Cynthia]].
		+	*Many more events, including some from Crystal, were borrowed to lengthen the story to a more Diamond and Pearl like scale.
		+	**Additional events revolving around Giovanni and Silver, as well as a new event battle with Giovanni were also included.
		+	**Some events were moved around slightly. This also allowed the player to possibly fight the Gym Leaders [[Chuck]], [[Jasmine]] and [[Pryce]], as well as the Rocket executives in Mahogany Town out of sequential order, much like how Platinum allowed players to face Fantina on their first visit to Hearthrome.
		+	*The Rocket Executives were given names, although the grunts continue to uphold the tradition of being nameless.
		+	*All of the original soundtrack was upgraded(?) to Diamond and Pearl quality.
		+	*Ho-oh, Lugia, have their own battle themes. In addition, [[Entei]], [[Raikou]] and [[Suicune]] were all given personalized remixes of their original battle theme in Crystal, and several other battle themes from Generation IV exist in the ROM, much like how FR/LG contained R/S/E's battle music.
		+	*New event music for the Kimono Girl's summoning ritual and a theme for Ethan and Lyra were added.
		+	*The 16 Gym Leaders, Elite four, Champion, Silver and Red all have animated sprites, much like Platinum.
		+	**These Trainers, as well as the [[four]] Rocket Executives and the Player Characters, were given [[VS. face]] graphics as well.
		+	*Select few battles were changed into double battles.
		+	*A new [[Pokéatholon]] minigame was added, where players could earn points with their Pokemon to spend on prizes.
		+	**Ethan and Lyra have a seperate outfit for this minigame.
		+	**Additionally, a [[Safari Zone]] west of [[Cianwood]] was added to replace the one in [[Fuchsia City]].
		+	*All of the Maps were upgraded to use 3D as Platinum did before. New details, such as the swaying pillar in [[Sprout Tower]], were now able to be realized by the use of the 3D.
		+	**Additionally, select locations now display a picture upon their entrance, like FR/LG.
		+	*Like Platinum, the Gym Leaders can all be rematched by activating new events with them and calling them via [[Pokégear]].
		+	*The Pokégear's interface was updated to use the touchscreen, like Diamond and Pearl's [[Pokétech]], but no new features were added.
		+	*Items, such as the key item, and the [[Running Shoes]], now have buttons on the touch screen for easy use.
		+	**The Running Shoes were added as a key item, as in FR/LG
		+	*The Johto Pokédex was expanded to include some of the new evolutions and pre-evolutions introduced in the previous games that could be obtained before the [[National Pokédex]] could be obtained.
