This is the worst Pokémon without a doubt. The only thing worse than it is its baby form, but that's debatable.
>Why is it so bad?
Maybe you're asking this because you're a gigantic hipster or contrarian, or you weren't around when Red/Blue first came out.
Let me tell you, when I was a kid, NO ONE LIKED THIS FUCKING THING.
Pokémon is a game for kids. It's a game about cool monsters. Grown men and ten year old boys love cool monsters. The name of the game is Pokémon - literally "Pocket MONSTERS." Although things like Pidgey or Pikachu are not technically the English definition of "monster", they still fit the theme of the games: cute "monsters" do battle with each other and use their special powers.
Mr. Mime does not fit this. No one wants to use a Pokémon that looks like a creepy rapist clown. He does not fit in the bracket of "monster" by virtue of power or cuteness. He doesn't even look cool. He is just a fucking pink clown sexual offender.
>B-b-but muh Psychic type.
I'm not a Smogonfag so I don't know the powers of every 700 Pokémon, but even the biggest autist has probably got to sit back at some point and think, "Yeah, I'm not going to use that. I don't care about its stats. It's just fucking embarrassing."
>lol so original mr. mime hatred.
The fact that lots of people hate him PROVES that he's a shitmon. Just look at him for fuck sake. He LOOKS like a human, and that sends him in to uncanny valley territory pretty fast. Using cute monsters to battle is all good, but when you start using humans... it gets creepy. Like Roman slavery.
>But Jynx is terrible too!
Agreed, but at least Jynx has a good idea behind it. Mr. Mime is a... what? A clown? A Mime? Even the name is fucking stupid. "Mr. Mime". Might as well call Voltorb "Bally" or Piplup "The Penguin".
Ever met anyone who likes mimes? Exactly. Bruce Willis would run you over with a taxi.
That's why Mr. Mime is the worst Pokémon ever made and perhaps the worst thing ever designed by a human
