Trivia
- Although its English and French names suggest that it is exclusively male, female Mr. Mime are just as common as males, and in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, Sabrina herself has a female Mr. Mime as one of her Pokémon.
- This is due to the lack of genders in the Generation I games when it was introduced. However, the "Mr." part of its name appears to be just part of its name, rather than a title - (probably due to this not being as part of its Japanese name).
- The Mr. Mime obtained through an in-game trade in Pokémon Red and Blue was nicknamed Marcel. This is possibly 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.
- There was a guest villain in an episode of The Powerpuff Girls named "Mr. Mime".
- Mr. Mime originally had four fingers on its hands, but in Generation III it was given an extra finger. It should be noted that the anime version of Mr. Mime always had five fingers.
- 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.
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
- German: Pantimos - From pantomime.
- French: M. Mime - Pronounced Monsieur Mime. M. is the official abbreviation of Monsieur (Mister).
- Korean: 마임맨 Maimmaen
