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.

Mr Mime has probably been inspired by le Mime Marceau the most famous French mime in the World.

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. Mr Mime's French name is M. Mime (M. is the official abreviation of Monsieur).
