Trivia

• Although its English and French names suggest that it is exclusively male, female Mr. Mime are just as common as males, and in Pokémon Gold and Silver, Sabrina herself has a female Mr. Mime.
• 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 FireRed and LeafGreen; the same Mr. Mime is nicknamed Mimien.
• 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.

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. Its German name comes from the word pantomime.

In other languages

• German: Pantimos
