The trick is that a lot of Pokémon names make good tech names. Metapod would be a great name for a perl documentation suite, or a container orchestration tool. And that makes caterpie a questionable, but valid, name for a partial container orchestration tool; and maybe butterfree could be containers evolved.

Onix is clearly a unix-like or linux distribution that's shaped around some software with first letter O (Opera? OpenOffice? I dunno), in addition to a Pokémon.

Onix is shaped around Operator Framework. It's all containers.
Vulpix could be something to do with pictures.
Farfetch could be a database library.
