At the store the other day I saw an endcap of toys for the new Pokemon Presents: Detective Pikachu Movie and this MEGA Construx model of Mr. Mime called to me. It seemed like a nice relaxing activity plus Mr. Mime is easily one of my favorite Pokemon. A lot of Pokemon are really endearing critters but Mr. Mime stands out. Its just such a stark contrast to most any other Pokemon; it almost seems like its creation was a mistake. The idea of this total idiot wandering around in a open field within the Kanto region, pretending to be resting against a lamp post, with no other interest than being harmlessly obnoxious gets a lot of bonus points over any other ‘Mon for me. Im not much of a Poke-master so I can’t really say if Mr. Mime is ever very useful, but ill always aim to have it on my team.
I’ve seen the Detective Pikachi movie, and its fine, but Mr. Mimes brief scenes steal the entire show. I doubt I would have ever acquired a ticket if Mr. Mime did not show up in the trailers. Congrats Mr. Mime, on moving a handful of units all on your own — but I doubt its looking for acclaim.
