Why can Mr. Mime be female?

[Barry B. Benson]

We all know that Mr. Mime is one of the silliest Pokemon to exist in this world. But you may have come across many female Mr. Mime. It should just be 100% male because it's in the name: MR. Mime. WHy do you think Mr. Mime was made to be female alsoh

Anime logic!

If Pikachu can defeat Brock's Geodude with Thunderbolt, Mr Mime can be female!

 I think it's just our name for it, really. Dunnae if the Japanese name is gendered but it's Japanese name is Barrierd.

We just gave it a name that implies it's a dude.

A guy dressed as woman!

I think Mr Mime and Jynx should be like Nidorans. Mr Mime are all male and Jynx are all female!
