::I think it's more a matter of informed speculation; much like a lot of Pokemon Origin and Name Origin information listed on the site. When a reason is listed for a theory, it is no longer opinion.

does anybody have a caterpie emerald shiny picture, or should I upload a stationary one?Pokemonguy1 05:24, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
Rōmaji
On this wiki, most Pokémon pages have the trademarked Romanization, rather than the Rōmaji. So, Japanese "Caterpie" is actually supposed to be "Kyatapī". Can someone please change this? Or sometwo? Or somemore? I'll work on it also. Sincerely, Jét55
- Er, you're confused in both intent and wording. Yes, we use the trademarked Romanization, not the Rōmaji. "NYARTH" is what shows up on Japanese merchandise, not "Nyāsu," so we use Nyarth.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 01:40, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, okay. Sorry! --Jayt55 14:22, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
Trivia maybe?
Caterpie has appeared in every Generation, right? Is this notable in the trivia? I'm not sure how many Pokémon share this fact. Bulbajer 23:53, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Name Origin
I have a theory that Cater"pie" (pronounced like "pea"), Meta"pod", and "Butter"free are part of a food-themed naming convention (particularly that of peas), but my editions stating this as possibility were reversed. To a lesser extent (not present in my edits), "Cater" (pronounced as in the act of food catering) and "pie" (pronounced as the dessert) also have culinary implications, and (reaching further around) "Meta" could refer to one's "meta"bolism. I also once received "free" food at a Burger King, a known sponsor. Am I alone? Also, why will no girls date me? --GrowlitheandEkans 03:42, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
