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 June 18, 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 (Mario and Luigi, DK and Diddy Kong, Link and Navi, Pikachu and Pokémon Trainer), as an attempt to promote the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' edition of ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.
