:::The relevance is like I said... A question. A question mark. Mystery. (...Given how Mimikyu hides itself.)

::::Do you mean that "Q" is just short for "question"? If that is what you mean, I guess it's possibly the origin, although to me that sounds a little out there. The main reason I personally consider "mimic you" to be a likely source is that it is literally right there in the phonetics of the name. As for the Pikachu comment, do we really know for sure that Pikachu is the only thing it can mimic, or can it mimic other things as well? {{tt|If it can mimic other things, than it could in fact "mimic you"|I realize this may be stretching things a bit far, but the possibility seems relevant}}.

:::::Right now...yeah, that's kinda ''all'' we know as far as mimicry: it mimicked Pikachu. It's not necessarily a general talent, just a single point of its backstory. If you want to hang your hat on new info like that, all you can do is wait. I don't really forsee any surprises like that, though, personally. Phonetics are all well and good...but they have to make some sense. ({{p|Electabuzz|Eleboo}} phonetically contains "boo", but "boo!" hardly makes sense. {{p|Sliggoo|Numeil}} can sound like "new mail", but that's basically nonsense.)
