Trivia

• 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 is tied with Claydol for the highest Special Defense base stat of all non-legendary Psychic types.

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 is literally mime with an English male honorific. The assignment of a gendered title has no bearing of its equal male/female gender ratio, as it was named before the gender mechanic was introduced in the games.

Barrierd may be a combination of barrier (referring to the mime trait of 'being trapped' behind invisible walls) and weird or barricade.
