::::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.

:::::I can see why you'd think it's "mimic" and "you". But I really don't like the reasoning of "because it's mimicking Pikachu". Because the problem is "you" are not "Pikachu", it's not mimicking "you". "You" is not part of Pikachu's name. I know it's supposed to be phonetic, but still, "chu" and "you" are too different. | |||
:::::I'm with Tiddlywinks in that either they both go or they both stay. Name origins are nothing be speculation anyway unless we have official confirmation.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#EBC600">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#EBC600">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#D8B600">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D8B600">ire</span>]] 04:09, 20 October 2018 (UTC) | |||
