I prefer the dratini->gyrados / magikarp->dragonite pipeline theory, myself, but I can gestate with this caterpie branch. The venonat->butterfree coloring and eyes do seem too coincidental. Maybe the artists that worked on each one had their favorite colors, so pokemon they did all ended up schemed similarly?
