-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.
+Louie's notes are not available if there is no [[saved game]] data for ''Pikmin 2''. When the player defeats the [[Titan Dweevil]] in any saved game slot, a global flag is set on ''Pikmin 2'''s save data that enables Louie's notes. This means that from that point on, on any saved game slot, Louie's notes will be available to the player, even if the slot used to unlock this feature is deleted. It can also be noted that when an enemy is added to the Piklopedia, it comes with Louie's notes (although they can still be temporarily inaccessible as per the rule written previously), regardless of whether Louie is with the player's crew or not, in that saved game slot.
