Mr. Mime (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

The origin seemed to imply that Mr. Mime's feet were designed with its Fairy typing in mind, although it was not Fairy-type at the time it was created. Also, it seems more plausible they were based on jesters' shoes.

Mr. Mime appears to be based on a combination of a {{wp|clown}} and a {{wp|mime}} - together with a popular {{wp|pantomime}}, pretending to be trapped in invisible boxes. Its feet also appear to be reminiscent of the various hooked-shoes {{wp|elves}} wear, which may be a design aspect that highlights its secondary {{t|Fairy|Fairy}} typing.
