* In Generation II, a Pokémon's gender was determined through its Attack [[Individual values|IV]]. Due to this, unless a Pokémon was a member of an all-female species, such as Nidoran♀ and Smoochum, it could never have a maximized Attack stat, as female Pokémon were given the lower half of the IV range. This also caused the inability for a female Pokémon {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female|of a species with a gender ratio of seven males to one female}}, like {{p|Eevee}} or the [[starter Pokémon]], to be {{Shiny}}, due to that ''also'' running partly off of the Attack IV. In [[Generation III]] this was addressed, with IVs no longer determining either of these, making it possible to have a female Pokémon of any species made of both genders with a maximized Attack, and for Shiny Pokémon of both genders to be able to be found in all species.

* Although its English and [[List of French Pokémon names##102 - #151 Exeggcute - Mew|French]] names suggest that it is exclusively male, {{p|Mr. Mime}} may be of either gender. This is due to the fact that it was given its name prior to the introduction of gender to the series.

** There are other Pokémon that have a similar scenario to Mr. Mime. For example, the names of both {{p|Seaking}} and {{p|Slaking}} suggests that they are exclusively male due to the ''-King'' in their name. However, they can be of either gender.
