 ===Origin===
 Hoppip appears to be based on a {{wp|bulb}} or root. The leaves on its head resemble leaves of a {{wp|dandelion}}.
-Hoppip's back sprite having a thin, feline like tail, and large ears give it a cat-like appearance.  Also the fact that it looks like a cartoon cat, with small stumpy feet and a head for a body.
 ====Name origin====
 Hoppip's name is probably based on ''hop'' or ''hip-hop'' or ''hippity-hop'', indicating that it jumps or flies through the air. It may also come from ''pip'', a type of seed. Its Japanese name is a combination of 葉 ''ha'', leaf, and 根っ子 ''nekko'', root. 跳ねる ''haneru'', to jump or hop, and 羽 ''hane'', wing, may also be part of its name.
