Well imo there is absolutely nothing wrong with anything you listed in your post. Pokémon is an incredible franchise because it covers so many topics on so many different levels. Take, for example, Ninetales. To a child Ninetales is just a cute fox, but to an older player, Ninetales is the embodiment of many different Japanese legends surrounding foxes. Remember the second episode in Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies? There was a hell of a lot of legends surrounding Japanese folklore there, and one of the main monsters was practically Ninetales. That's just one example of a mythical Pokémon, with others such as Mawile being a Yoko-Onna etc..
That's just one example. In fact, Pokémon is very stereotypical depending on how you look at it. Delcatty, for example, represents a very rich, almost spoilt Pokémon, and it's a cat, an animal stereo typically owned by socialites and the like. Jynx is just another example of this. In fact, Jynx represents two things primarily. One of which is, like you mentioned, ganguro is more a lifestyle choice than just dressing up, so Mr. Mime is just as bad as Jynx (and it has to be said there have been many complaints about Mr. Mime promoting homosexuality among the youth (although a homophobic's POV is invalid in my eyes anyway)) because Mr. Mime is a mime. And even then, while ganguro may be a part of her design, the main basis for the design is actually the Nordic princess. What do ganguro or South Africa have to do with any other aspects of Jynx? An Ice-Type South African is an obvious contradiction, and fashion doesn't mean a lot for Ice- or Psychic-Types. Jynx is primarily based on a Nordic princess because of its Ice-Type. The blackened skin is there because Nordic legend states that a princess' skin turns black because of the cold. Furthermore, Jynx fulfills the stereotype of the "fat lady" in the opera with the large circles covering her breasts and long red dress, who are often depicted as vikings. Jynx is in no way an offensive design unless you happen to be terrified of fashion, operas and Nordic princesses, and the only wrong thing Game Freak has ever done concerning her is changing her primary skin colour from black to purple. The design worked better before the change.
Arceus is a myth. God is a myth. Religion is a myth. In Ancient Greece, Greek mythology was a real religion, but now it's just thought of as myth. Houndoom is just as much of a hellish figure as Giratina; both represent major figures of the underworld/Hell. In fact, this game is Japanese, where western religion is as much mythology as a legitimate belief system. I don't mean to be disrespectful to anyone, and having faith and belief is an amazing thing to have, but if you take offense to a video game because of your faith it's taking things too far, and the amount of Christians who take offense to modern culture is so much more than any other religion or belief system, it actually puts a lot of people off that religion. My friend's Grandma refused to become a Christian until very late in her life because she thought they were all too paranoid about everything. While Pokémon was banned for a couple of years in strict Islam countries (what western culture isn't though) that is the only complaint about the games from a religious standpoint from anything other than Christianity. Arceus is a perfect example of this, and the fact that because he is the creator he must be God is actually a fallacious argument. How is the Christian God depicted as any creature which is a part of Arceus' design? It has aspects of a horse and a bull for its animal counterparts, but also has many aspects of the Pangu (Chinese creation deity) Kunitokotachi and Amenominakanushi who summon Izanami and Izanagi to create Japan. His Normal-Type form is also pretty reminiscent of Avalokitesvara (note that there is an acute accent over the "s", which I can't do) who is a Buddhist deity often pictured in a white, four-armed manifestation. Pokémon has such a rich culture and folklore in the games themselves that having a creator only makes sense, especially in Gen 4 which was by far the most folklore-driven generations. Sorry if this paragraph was a bit rambly and angry, but when people complain about something which they either know nothing or too little about it pisses me off, and Arceus is one of the main ones thrown at me (all of my Mum's family is mormon so I've had to repeat these kinda of things a lot of times. When you can say and spell Amenominakanushi and Avalokitesvara from memory with ease you've been saying the words far too much). Thankfully they've never forbade me from playing these games (because my parents themselves have common sense with this sort of thing) but they still give me grief over it.
Anyway, to conclude this rant a bit, people think that Pokémon is evil because they don't look into anything. They make basic assumptions based off of the simple parts of the games. Evolution is a part of the game, however it is not evolution over generations, it is through one life being. But most importantly, even though evolution is in this game, it is on fire-breathing lizards or hooded skulls. Most children, even those who believe against evolution, can make a discernible difference between a Bonsly and themselves. Or even a humane Pokémon like Munchlax! That's what really infuriated me about things like this. Give credit where credit's due...
I know that you don't believe in all these things, GadgetJax, but I just used the things you listed because they are the types of things which so many complaints have been about...
), but um... I think the old-fashioned voice-from-heaven has only legitimately happened once or twice over the past thousand years or so. So that's kinda freaky. Especially since she said me and not Him. Aren't we more concerned about the kid's relationship to God?
