pyresword: Disguise is a really fun ability, and the Pokemon itself is oddly offputting yet adorable.

mnkboy907: It's cool and all but there's a lot better so it's going to be a little disappointing when this thing ends up #1 or 2.

StifledSilence: Normally Pikachu clones are hit or miss, but this was a nice creepy take on the clone formula.

XIII: Great, meta story for a Pokemon. I enjoyed it.

Luster Soldier: When this was first revealed, I initially thought it would receive some hate for being an actual Pikachu knockoff (unlike the standard Pikachu clones we get each generation), with the potential for some people to point towards Mimikyu as an example of the later generations having unoriginal Pokemon designs. Pokemon like Emolga and Dedenne are different enough from Pikachu itself to avoid getting targeted by people looking to scapegoat them as unoriginal Pokemon designs. However, Mimikyu is far more of a Pikachu knockoff than the standard Pikachu clones we get every generation since Gen III. So I was surprised that Mimikyu turned out to receive a lot of support from other people. It's also a cute Pokemon, which I thought might have hampered its chances of being well-liked since cute Pokemon usually get hated on with relatively few exceptions. It's cute, but not super cute, which appeared to save it from the hate that most cute Pokemon suffer from. Despite everything I've said up to this point, I don't want people being left with the impression that I somehow hate Mimikyu (totally not true).

PrinceKaro: The pokemon world is full of puns, but most people don’t realize that this is one too (Mimikyu = mimic you)

Brayze_II: I warmed up to this little shit a lot when I saw his pikachu creep room

Paratroopa1: there's a strange sort of irony in the fact that this guy wants to be popular so he dresses up as pikachu and it actually fucking WORKED because everyone loves mimikyu now. what kind of message does that send to our kids? copy everything your idol does and also have a plan to murder and replace them and you too will be loved by everyone? look I'm just saying there are some weird moral messages here

Ermine: "Hey guys, I think we've done too many Pikachu clones! We even have one in this fucking generation as well. Well let's see, instead of a Pika clone, let's make a ghost thingy that WISHES it was Pikachu. Dear god, someone get this man a raise." No. I am god damn sick and tired of anything Pikachu related and this ticks me off even more because they are self aware that Pikachu is shoved down everyone's throats to the point they made an acutal Pokemon that WISHES he was Pikachu. I can't believe there was a time I actually liked Pikachu. I honestly wouldn't be surprised (no joke) if half of the next generation of Pokemon were Pikachu related because OMG PIKACHU SELLS! EVERYONE LOVES PIKACHU! Fuck me.
