:Saying it out loud makes me doubt that it's supposed to be anything but "mimic you". The second-person just seems to portray how it's always living in Pikachu's shadow.

It's not Q, that makes no sense. Considering the obvious "Mimic you", as well as the idea of it being a corruption or alternate way to say chu like Pikachu, Q should not be added in the Name Origin until some official source says otherwise, as it's a wild guess at best. Best case scenario for that idea, when they were making the name they noticed that and added it in for reasons to call it Mimikyu, but it's not the deciding factor or a main part of the process.

:First things first: if it were supposed to be "mimic you", Japanese can parallel that much more closely than how it writes Mimikyu's name. The only reason you're seeing "mimic you" so strongly is because you're seeing it through an English filter. Second: there's simply no logic that discounts what I said above: "mimic you" just doesn't make any right sense. Thirdly: other languages include "Q", especially Chinese (as well as Korean). | |||
:It's all opinion. When everything is a reach, it's just hubris to declare that it can't be one—especially to act like your own wild guess that they only added it as an afterthought or whatever must be right. | |||
:Take a step back and try to be reasonable for a second. I think your interpretation is a huge stretch. You think mine is. Why is either of us right except that, of course '''I'm''' right? (I'm not gonna leave that open: the answer is, we're not, not for sure; the only fair/reasonable action is to allow both.)
