Trivia

• Although its English and French names suggest that it is exclusively male, female Mr. Mime are just as common as males.
• The Mr. Mime obtained through an in-game trade in Pokémon Red and Blue was nicknamed Marcel. This may have been an homage to the late Marcel Marceau. However, this was not kept in Pokémon Yellow or Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen; the same Mr. Mime is nicknamed Miles and Mimien, in those games, respectively.
• Mr. Mime originally had four fingers on its hands. This was changed to five in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and every game since.
• In the Hebrew dub of the anime, Mr. Mime was often confused for a Water-type Pokémon in Israel, as "Mayim" (water) is pronounced very similar to "Mime".
• Mr. Mime was the first species with a space in its name, as well as the first one with a period and the first one whose name was more than one word; the space in its name was only reflected in the handheld games starting with Generation III, however. Only in Generation IV was the second such species introduced: its baby form, Mime Jr.
  • Mr. Mime is also one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂, Farfetch'd, Porygon2, Ho-Oh, Mime Jr. and Porygon-Z.

Origin

It appears that it is based on a combination between a clown and a mime - together with a popular pantomime, pretending to be trapped in invisible boxes.

Name origin

Mr. Mime's name simply refers to mimes. Its Japanese name may be a combination of barrier and weird - indicating its ability to erect invisible walls - or barrier and barricade.

In other languages

Language Name Name Origin German Pantimos From pantomime. French M. Mime Pronounced Monsieur Mime. M. is the official abbreviation of Monsieur. Korean 마임맨 Maimmaen Chinese (Mandarin) 吸盤魔偶 / 吸盘魔偶 Xīpánmó'ǒu​ From 吸盤 xīpán and 魔偶 mó'ǒu. Chinese (Cantonese) 吸盤小丑 Kāppùhnsíucháu From 吸盤 kāppùhn and 小丑 síucháu.
