:I'm positive that anything that says "Mr.Mime" in a game is due to a technical restriction from [[Generation II]] and earlier.  The name is clearly "Mr. Mime" in the [[Generation IV]] Pokédex, and what appears to be a "period-plus-half-space" character programmed into the games from [[Generation III]] forward still counts as a break between words.  Additionally, proportional-width spaces aren't the same width as traditional characters in proportional fonts (which the games started to use full-time starting with Generation III)--there's a narrow space in Mr. Mime's name in the [[Pokérap]] and similar spaces in other media.  My [[$1|2¢]]:  Chalk this controversy up to technical restrictions.  It was never officially "Mr.Mime".  If it was officially "Mr.Mime" in Generation IV, wouldn't its pre-evolution be officially [[Mime Jr. (Pokémon)|MimeJr.]]?  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:28, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
