* [[Ken Sugimori]] once stated in a [[Nintendo Power]] interview that Hoothoot is his favorite Pokémon, because of a pet bird he had as a child that would stand on one foot. [http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/2671/nintendopowervol134pg79.png]
** In the same interview, Sugimori reportedly states that Hoothoot has one foot, despite [[Pokédex]] entries stating that it switches between its two feet. This could either have been a translation error or an oversight by Sugimori, or it could mean that Hoothoot was originally intended to have only one foot.

Hoothoot seems to be based on a combination of an {{wp|owl}}, more specifically the {{wp|Eagle Owl}}, and a {{wp|clock}}, as its eyebrows are shaped like the hour and minute hands on a clock; in addition, it has the ability to keep track of time.
