 ====Name origin====
-Xatu may derive from ''X'' (as in ''exotic'', referring to its appearance) and ''{{wp|Atu}}'' (the first man in Samoan mythology).
+As revealed in the Penny Arcade Staff Podcast, by Jeff Kahles, the man who named this evolutionary line in English, Natu is short for Nature, and a Xat is a sort of Native American totem pole.  The name arose from The Pokemon Company's desire to have one pokemon for every letter of the alphabet.
-Natio may be a corruption of ''native''.
