Pidgey

Pidgey (ポッポ, Poppo in original Japanese language versions) is one of the 493 species of Pokémon in the Pokémon franchise (a series of video games, anime, manga, trading cards and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri).

The name Pidgey is apparently a contracted form of pigeon (compare to Starly), though could also be a combination of pigeon and pudgy. Its name in the English beta version of Red/Blue was “Pidge”. Its Japanese name comes from the onomatopoeia describing the cooing pigeons make. It evolves into a Pidgeotto then into a Pidgeot.
