Design and characteristics
Mimikyu is a fictional species of Pokémon created for the Pokémon franchise. Developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, the series began in Japan in 1996 with the release of the video games Pokémon Red and Blue for the Game Boy. In these games, the player assumes the role of a Pokémon Trainer whose goal is to capture and train creatures called Pokémon. Players use the creatures' special abilities to combat other Pokémon, and some can transform into stronger species through a process called evolution. A major goal in each game is to complete the Pokémon index (Pokédex), a comprehensive Pokémon encyclopedia, by capturing, evolving, and trading to obtain individuals from all Pokémon species.

Mimikyu wears the costume in hopes of being loved and accepted, as its true form is said to be too horrifying to behold.

Mimikyu is a meta-referential element of the Pokémon franchise; its imitation of Pikachu references the latter's role as the series mascot.
