Like [[Captain Olimar]], [[Louie]] takes '''notes''' too, but his notes are about how to cook enemies. While [[Olimar's Notes|Captain Olimar's notes]] would be useful to a scientist or biologist, Louie's would be useful to a chef. Interestingly, Louie references ingredients found on Earth (cultivated in oxygen). These ingredients could not possibly be known by Louie, as Hocotate has a severely different climate. This is most likely because Hocotatian plants often have a similar appearance to those found on Earth so Louie uses the names he is familiar with for a completely different plant. Some of his notes say that the creature is inedible, like the [[clover]]. In these cases, he states a humorous side effect of eating one.

Louie's notes, like the [[sales pitch]]es for treasures, are not available from the beginning of the game and are unlocked by defeating the [[Titan Dweevil]]. To read them, the player must enter the [[Piklopedia]] and press {{button|gcn|Y|wii|-}} while on the desired entry.

On {{date|18|June|2009}}, [[Nintendo]] of Europe released an article titled "''Louie's Notes: Musings of a Sidekick''" at its website. It is essentially a humorous commentary written from the point of view of Louie, comparing himself and Olimar to other famous Nintendo duos ([[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]] and [[mariowiki:Luigi|Luigi]], [[dkwiki:Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong]] and [[dkwiki:Diddy Kong|Diddy Kong]], [[zeldawiki:Link|Link]] and [[zeldawiki:Navi|Navi]], [[bulbapedia:Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] and [[bulbapedia:Ash Ketchum|Pokémon Trainer]]), as an attempt to promote the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' edition of ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. The website can be found [https://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/2009/Louie-s-Notes-Musings-of-a-Sidekick-251422.html here].
