::I've said it before so I'll say it again. I think "you" makes equally little sense as you think Q does. I wouldn't entirely mind removing both...

::: Well, "mimic you" as a whole does sound adequate imo; Pikachu is the main character of the franchise, so even if it's not specifically saying a name the "you" could be referencing it. In games and media it's also implied that Mimikyu is obsessed and stalks Pikachu, so it could be interpreted as if we see from its perspective: "I'm going to mimic you" or something. So I think it's at least a little more coherent than a random letter.

::::Yeah I'm sorry, but I have to agree with ExLight. "You" actually does make some semblance of reasonable sense, whereas Q is just...random and meaningless? I cannot fathom why there's such a war going on surrounding Mimikyu's name. I don't even mind if we include "Q" or "chu" in the potential name origin, but it's beyond absurd to me that whenever someone suggests Mimikyu's name might come from "mimic you", the idea gets immediately quashed out. That literally is what Mimikyu does. It mimics Pikachu. It makes logical sense that its name is a corruption of "mimic you". Ultimately, we cannot know where it comes from, but I just can't get behind the notion that 'Q' and 'you' make "equally little sense". Most people seem to generally agree that Mimikyu is probably from mimic you. It's time its page reflected that.
