Research Notes - Mime Jr.
Similis mimus

Many people find Mr. Mime to be deeply unsettling because of how humanoid, but not quite human, they look. Researchers agree that they are likely the closest link between people and Pokémon, citing support such as: their similar physiology, their great intellect, their affinities for towns and cities, their distinctly human-like skin, and their near-identical brain structures. The physical differences between people and Mr. Mime can largely be attributed to two primary differences. Firstly, these Pokémon store fat entirely in their torsos, giving them very slender limbs. Secondly, their joints are all synovial, allowing them to bend at odd, sometimes disturbing angles.

Diet

Both Pokémon eat like people do. In the wild, they will forage for nuts and Berries, but are also known to set invisible traps to catch unwary prey (and sometimes accidentally small children as well). Like children, Mime Jr. particularly enjoy sweets and will dig through trash to find candy.

Care

These Pokémon love performing, and will mime on street corners for fun even when they do not need food. Mime Jr. love candy and will eat it until they get sick; trainers should know that this is obviously not healthy for them and keep sweets in hard-to-reach locations. Ironically, despite often pretending to be trapped in small boxes, Mr. Mime are claustrophobic and greatly dislike actually being confined.

Caution

Living alongside humans, neither Mime Jr. nor Mr. Mime pose much of a threat to people. Mime Jr. are known to target people they sense are benevolent when performing for food, a skill that makes them popular among beggars. Mr. Mime will become angry if their performances are interrupted, slapping offenders with their huge hands. Their invisible walls can also be nuisances in crowded streets, though most Mr. Mime know that blocking traffic won’t help them earn food.
