Mr. Mime debuted in the first generation of Pokemon games released in 1996 and has appeared across the main series games, anime and trading card game ever since. Each Pokemon has a unique synthesized cry used when it enters battle or faints, and Mr. Mime's stands out for its playful tone. Fans rip and share these cries on soundboards for use in videos, streams and memes, where the short length makes it easy to trigger repeatedly as a reaction sound.
