Origin
Mime Jr. is based on a mime 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 suggest that it is based on a cloth hand puppet, to complement the dummy aesthetic 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).
