Trivia

Origin

Mime Jr. appears to be based on a mime, a toddler, and a clown. Its secondary Fairy typing and pointed hat indicate that it may also be based on fairy tale gnomes. Its upper body and simple design also suggests that it may be a tsukumogami based on a cloth hand puppet, to complement the dummy-like appearance of Mr. Mime.

Name origin

Mime Jr. is derived from the name of its evolution, Mr. Mime.

Manene may be a combination of 真似 mane (mimicry) and nene (Spanish for baby).
