Trivia

• Caitlin is the second Elite Four member who was introduced in an earlier generation and then attained the title in a later generation. Koga was the first, being a Gym Leader in Generation I and Generation III Kanto, then becoming a member of its Elite Four in Generation II and Generation IV.
  • Unlike Koga, however, Caitlin was never able to be battled herself, with Darach doing the honors for her.
  • Also unlike Koga, she was previously encountered in regions that are nowhere near where she is an Elite Four member, whereas Koga, being of the Indigo Plateau Elite Four, is still located in his home region of Kanto.
• If Caitlin is considered a Frontier Brain, she is the only one among them to share her name with other Trainers that can be battled in the game.
• Caitlin dresses in the Japanese himegyaru ("princess gal") style.
• A minor character in the Battle Castle mentions that Darach has feelings for Caitlin, but refuses to show these emotions to her.
• Caitlin has only appeared in games which feature a Psychic-type Elite Four member: she is paired with Darach in Pokémon HeartGold, SoulSilver, and Platinum, where Lucian and Will are Elite Four members, respectively, and appears herself as a Psychic-type Elite Four member in Pokémon Black and White.
