Thriller

Its almost time
Am I the only one who's noticed that Mime Jr. has vanished? Seriously, what happened here? Did the writers not care for it enough that they thought it never existed?

Quite personally, I never thought it belonged with TR to begin with, it was way too cheerful and happy. It was okay for Chimecho to do that because it was natural for their species, but not for Mime Jr.

But honestly, did the joke get old that fast?
 
I have noticed it isn't in it much.
My guess is there gettng ready to write it off.
 
Remember how infrequently Chimecho appeared? Mime Jr. carries on its spirit.

It's sort of a shame, especially since Mime Jr. has proven itself as a decent battler. Truth be told, as much as I love Carnivine, it lacks attack diversity, and as a result, so does James' attack patterns. Mime Jr. has a lot of potential that simply isn't being used.
 
Lol, it's only around to really imitate James and other pokemon...and to confuse People and Pokemon alike with Tetter Dance...The last time I remember seeing it was in the episode where James played Jessie in a contest...I think he used it then...but the last time I remember was when J went after Regigigas, the episodes after Ash beat Candice.
 
I thought about this last night. It just disappeared, it's so useless now. In Kanto, it was cute and involved.
 
I didn't actually realise it until you pointed it out. I never really cared for it anyway, I found it to be a step down in terms of comic relief compared to Chimecho.
 
I remember Chimecho doing a little more during its tenure. It still did the "Chime Chime!" part of the motto and was always floating around there.

Mime Jr. doesn't even appear in the motto anymore!

It really makes me wonder why they did the trade in the first place.
 
It went from being in every episode to just sort of not appearing. Although I think it appears about as frequently as any other Rocket pokemon. Seviper often disappears for about 8 episodes at a time these days.
 
Hopefully it evolves soon... and stays with James' grandparents.
Maybe Chimecho had an egg and they give it to James... thus having a Chingling.

A Chingling at this point would be pretty stale. They're hardly new anymore. Also it isn't like they'll be stopping by Kanto again. The only way I'd see James ever getting Chimecho back is if he gets an evolution at some point. If that's ever the case the writers could probably write in a reason for James to get it back.

I don't know but it always seeme wierd to me that Bonsly evolved before Mime Jr even though they both knew mimic at almost the same time.
 
Yeah, lately it has been. But I swear the one we really need to discuss is Seviper, and what the writers plan to do with it.
 
Since James is limited to just two pokemon at a time I really hope Mime Jr isn't his version of Wobuffett. That would mean he would just get one new pokemon per region. A new grass type.

Obviously the writers are going to pull another twist and have her release Seviper and catch a Steelix. HGSS, man!



The writers have gotten better at balancing screentime for Ash's Pokemon, but they're still really bad at balancing screentime for everyone elses' Pokemon. Croagunk is the only Brock Pokemon we see anymore(granted, we should be thankful that we ever see ANY of his Pokemon), Dawn's Buneary and Pachirisu have started to decompose, Jessie's Seviper doesn't appear too much anymore, and as this topic points out, James' Mime Jr has barely appeared this region. Why is that? Well, it's not really intimidating enough to be used in TR VS Twerp battles(sure, TR always loses, but their Pokemon at least pretend to be threatening), and Carnivine took over as James' running joke Pokemon. Which is a pity, since seeing Mime Jr imitate everyone was more interesting than Yet Another Skull Chomping Pokemon.
