The following is a list of transcripts of small talk conversation topics for the talk feature in Pikmin 3.
List[edit]
Small talk 1[edit]
- US text:
“What's wrong, Alph? You're awfully quiet.”
“Oh, I'm just thinking about my family back on Koppai.”
“You have an older sister back home, right?”
“Yeah, and 12 older brothers. I miss our family dinners...”
“...Your family dinners must have been chaotic.”- “If we come back empty handed, there aren't going to be any more family dinners on Koppai!”
“That's such an odd motivational tactic, Captain. But yes, I guess you're right. Let's go!”
- Europe text:
- “What's wrong, Alph? You're awfully quiet.”
- “Oh, I'm just thinking about my family back on Koppai.”
- “You've got an older sister and a little brother, right?”
- “Yes, well remembered! Although you're forgetting my 12 older brothers... I'm the 14th of 15 kids!”
- “Wow! That is a BIG family!”
- “Dinner time at our house was always so much fun...”
- “And quite chaotic, I would imagine...”
- “It's important for us to remember we're here to save all of Koppai, including our families!”
“So for our planet, and for our families, let's take home all the food we can!”- “Let's do it!”
Small talk 2[edit]
- US text:
“Has anyone else been hearing that strange noise? I haven't been able to sleep a wink.”- “Yes. I ran diagnostics on all of the S.S. Drake's instruments, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.”
- “I haven't heard anything...”
- “Do you think, maybe...that this noise could be somebody's growling stomach? Maybe yours, Captain?”
- “I won't deny I'm hungry, but this noise sounds more like a—”
- “GROOOOOOWL!”
- “...Very hungry wild beast.”
- “Is everyone OK?”
- Europe text:
- “Has anyone else been hearing that strange noise? I haven't been able to sleep a wink.”
- “Yes. I ran diagnostics on all of the SS Drake's instruments, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.”
- “I haven't heard anything...”
- “Do you think, maybe... that the noise could be a rumbling tummy?”
- “Maybe yours, Captain?”
- “I won't deny I'm hungry, but this sounds more like a wild beast!”
- “GROOOOOOWL!”
- “A very HUNGRY wild beast!”
- “Yes, we'd best keep our wits about us...”
Small talk 3[edit]
- US text:
- “Captain...? I don't mean to pry, but you keep shouting out the name Elizabeth in your sleep...”
- “THAT'S MY BUSINESS! I'm sorry, Alph, I didn't mean to yell. Elizabeth is my soul mate. Leave it at that.”
- “You have a goose for a soul mate?”
- “GEESE ARE FILTHY CREATURES! ...Elizabeth is a duck.”
- “OK, Captain. I'm sorry I mistook your clean ducky for a filthy goose.”
- “Thank you. Apology accepted.”
- “Well, now that we've got all that cleared up, maybe we should get back to saving our planet.”
- Europe text:
- “Captain...? I don't mean to pry, but, you keep shouting out the name 'Elizabeth' in your sleep...”
- “Might I ask who Elizabeth is?”
- “Well, Alph, that's a good question. Elizabeth is very special to me.”
- “We share a deep, spiritual connection that most people would never be able to understand.”
- “You could say that Elizabeth is my soulmate.”
- “Isn't Elizabeth that goose that you keep as a pet back on Koppai?”
- “Don't be ridiculous! Elizabeth is a duck. Ducks and geese are quite, quite different from one another.”
- “Really? I've always thought they were pretty similar...”
- “Ah... Brittany. You may be an excellent scientist, but you still have so much to learn!”
- “Well, we could all learn a lot from you, Captain! Your understanding of ducks is clearly second-to-none!”
Small talk 4[edit]
- US text:
- “The flora and fauna on this planet certainly are large.”
- “The oxygen concentration in the atmosphere here is triple that of Koppai.”
- “Some studies have linked high oxygen concentration with gigantism in living creatures.”
“So wait, if the oxygen causes these creatures to grow so large...”- “Does that mean we're going to become giants as well?!”
- “Our space suits regulate our oxygen levels, so we shouldn't experience any change.”
“That's unfortunate. I've always wanted to be huge on another planet.”
- Europe text:
- “The plants and animals on this planet certainly are large.”
- “The oxygen concentration in the atmosphere here is three times that of Koppai.”
- “Some studies have linked high oxygen concentration with gigantism in living creatures.”
“That's amazing, Brittany! We're so lucky to have one of Koppai's top scientists on our team!”- “Just a second! Does that mean if we stay here, we'll grow into giants as well?!”
- “No, our spacesuits regulate our oxygen concentration, so I would guess we'll be fine.”
- “I don't know what would happen if we took them off though...”
Small talk 4 (Alph and Brittany)[edit]
- US text:
- “The flora and fauna on this planet certainly are large.”
- “The oxygen concentration in the atmosphere here is triple that of Koppai.”
- “Some studies have linked high oxygen concentration with gigantism in living creatures.”
- “Wow! Good thing we have one of Koppai's top scientists on our team!”
- “But... Does that mean if we remain deployed here, we'll become giants as well?!”
- “No, our space suits will regulate our oxygen concentration for us, so we're probably fine.”
“I'm not sure what would happen if we took them off though...”
- Europe text:
- “The plants and animals on this planet are huge!”
- “The oxygen concentration in the atmosphere here is triple that of Koppai.”
- “Some studies have linked high oxygen concentration with gigantism in living creatures.”
- “That's amazing, Brittany! Good thing we have one of Koppai's top scientists on our team!”
- “But...does that mean if we stay here too long, we'll turn into giants too?!”
- “No, our spacesuits will regulate the oxygen concentration for us, so we're probably fine.”
- “I'm not sure what would happen if we took them off though...”
Small talk 5[edit]
- US text:
- “The Onion appears to grow each time it merges with another Onion.”
- “Perhaps it's to incorporate a larger number of Pikmin.”
- “They're effective at maximizing their space. They must be very tidy creatures. And good at dusting.”
- “Maybe we'll find some mop Pikmin to help us clean the ship!”
- Europe text:
- “So I noticed this recently, but the Onion gets a little bigger whenever a new Onion fuses with it.”
- “Even so, it's amazing how such a large army of Pikmin can fit in there.”
- “They must be great at maximising their space. Maybe they're good at cleaning too? And dusting?”
- “Um, I don't think we can get them to clean up the ship, if that's what you're thinking, Brittany.”
Small talk 6[edit]
- US text:
- “It looks like the SPERO probe was correct! This planet is teeming with edible matter!”
- “And everything is packed with so much more nutritional value than what we have back on Koppai!”
- “Everyone back on Koppai is in for a real treat! Lots of them, actually!”
- “I can't wait to be hailed as a hero bearing nutrient-packed seeds of healthy, race-saving deliciousness!”
- Europe text:
- “Just like the SPERO probe reported, this planet is bursting with edible matter!”
- “And it all has so much more nutritional value than anything back on Koppai.”
- “Everyone back on Koppai is in for a real treat!”
- “Let's take back as much fruit as possible!”
Small talk 7[edit]
- US text:
- “Um... I couldn't help but notice that you've been consuming quite a bit of juice, Brittany.”
- “What?! I'm eating quite a bit? I'm only consuming my rations! Double-check your count, Alph!”
- “Oh, I'm sorry, Brittany. I must've made a mistake. My apologies.”
- “Apology accepted. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go...take stock of our juice supply again.”
- Europe text:
- “Um... I couldn't help but notice that you've been consuming quite a lot of juice, Brittany.”
- “What?! Nooo! Don't worry Alph! I'm dividing the portions up equally and only taking my fair share!”
- “R-really? That's OK then. I know we can count on you, Brittany.”
- “(Yikes! Looks like I'll have to be extra careful from now on...)”
Small talk 8[edit]
- US text:
- “So, Alph, your grandfather was the one who designed our spaceship, right?”
- “Yes, the ship is actually named after him, too. His name is Drake.”
- “Really? So engineering skills run in your family, eh, Alph?”
- “Yep. I learned an awful lot watching my grandfather work while I was growing up.”
- “Well, I'm sure you've made him quite proud, son.”
“Now let's make him prouder by returning home with some food! Is that a word? "Prouder"?”- “It is and I will!”
- Europe text:
- “So Alph, your grandfather was the one who designed our spaceship, right?”
- “Yes, the ship is actually named after him, too. His name is Drake.”
- “Really? So that must be why you're so mechanically inclined, Alph.”
- “Yep. I grew up watching my grandfather work, you see.”
- “Well, I'm sure you've made him quite proud.”
- “Now make him even prouder by returning home with some food!”
- “Absolutely!”
Small talk 9[edit]
- US text:
- “Why do you think the Pikmin carry those yummy fruits back to the ship for us rather than eating them?”
- “Pikmin seem to gain nourishment from pellets and native life-forms. They don't seem interested in fruit. But it's all so tasty... Maybe the Pikmin don't have a sense of taste.”
- “Well, that's perfect for us, don't you think? If they started eating our fruit, we'd be in quite an awful predicament!”
- “We're lucky that they're such hard workers...and that they don't seem to like fruit.”
- Europe text:
- “Why do you think the Pikmin carry this delicious fruit back to the ship for us? Why don't they eat it?”
- “Pikmin seem to gain nourishment from pellets and creatures. They don't seem interested in fruit at all.”
- “But fruit is so tasty... Maybe the Pikmin don't have a sense of taste.”
- “Well that's perfect for us, don't you think? If they started carrying dead creatures back to the Drake, things would get horribly cluttered!”
- “We're lucky that they're such hard workers.”
Small talk 10[edit]
- US text:
- “Those Pikmin are so brave and loyal.”
- “When I think about them fighting and risking their lives for us, it just tugs at my heartstrings.”
- “Yes. Loyalty. Dedication. I've always said that these are the most important things in life!”
- “I thought you said that food was the most important thing in life, Captain?”
- “Well, yes, of course, food, too.”
- “And what about family? Or friends? Those are pretty important too, don't you think?”
- “Let's just pretend I didn't say anything, Alph.”
- Europe text:
- “Those Pikmin are so brave and loyal.”
- “When I think about them fighting and risking their lives for us, it just tugs at my heartstrings.”
- “Yes. Loyalty. Dedication. I've always said that these are the most important things in life!”
- “What about food, Captain?!”
- “Well, yes, of course, food, too.”
- “And what about family? And friends? Those are pretty important too, don't you think?”
- “Let's just pretend I didn't say anything, Alph.”
Small talk 11[edit]
- US text:
- “Pikmin always seem to do things in groups. They appear to have a strong sense of camaraderie.”
- “Hmm... I'm not sure about that.”
- “They do things together because they're following orders, right?”
- “It's not camaraderie. That's loyalty!”
- “I always say, the most important thing in the world is loyalty!”
- “With all due respect, Captain, last night you said the most important thing in the world was dinner.”
- “Yes, well...the juice was very good.”
- Europe text:
- “Pikmin always seem to do things in groups. I wonder if they have a strong sense of camaraderie.”
- “Hmm... I don't know about that.”
- “I mean, they do things together because they're following orders, right?”
- “It doesn't appear to be the same kind of camaraderie we Koppaites have.”
- “I'd risk my life to protect either of you if you were in danger!”
- “Especially you, Britt—”
- “Thank you, Captain! That's awfully gallant of you!”
- “Ahem, yes... Just leave it to me!”
Small talk 12[edit]
- US text:
- “When we go back to Koppai, what do you suppose will happen to all the Pikmin?”
- “I wonder that myself. It seems that we have played a part in the propagation of their species.”
- “Slow down there, egghead! Maybe we've just been helping them reproduce!”
- “Right... Or that.”
- “So...if that's the case, then what will happen when we leave?”
- “Perhaps one of us should stay behind...Captain.”
- “That would be interesting. Maybe I'll keep an eye out for some beachfront property...”
- Europe text:
- “When we go back to Koppai, what do you suppose will happen to all the Pikmin?”
- “I wonder that myself. After all, it's only through our leadership that they've been able to propagate.”
- “Therefore, when we leave...”
- “Brittany... I know what you're thinking...”
- “Though it pains me to say this, the fate of the leaderless is a bleak fate indeed.”
- “Perhaps you should stay here with the Pikmin then, Captain?”
- “Err... What?”
Small talk 13[edit]
- US text:
- “What's the story behind your hair, Alph? It's pretty crazy.”
- “Huh? Oh, this hairstyle is called a Chuck cut.”
- “Of course it is.”
- “My barber offers a special on the Captain Charlie haircut.”
“Anyway, this version is a take on the classic. Not too wild, not too crazy, and very "of the moment."”- “You do know it's a mohawk, right?”
- Europe text:
- “What's the story behind your hair, Alph? It's pretty crazy.”
- “Huh? Oh, this hairstyle is called a Floppy Charlie.”
- “(But, of course!)”
- “Since the Captain is so famous on Koppai, lots of barbers offer a variety of Charlie cuts.”
- “Anyway, this version is a play on the classic Charlie. It's not too wild and it's very up to date!”
- “Hmm... It's basically just a mohawk, isn't it?”
Small talk 14[edit]
- US text:
“Hey, Alph? What's going on with the Drake's emergency-ejection system? I think it's too sensitive.”- “Agreed. That seems to be part of the design, unfortunately.”
- “You shouldn't have been ejected into the tundra the other day.”
- “Don't you think it's a bit dangerous for the autoeject to kick in because of a little turbulence!”
- “I do! We should have someone look at that!”
- “You want me to look at it, don't you?”
- “If it wouldn't be too much trouble!”
- Europe text:
- “Hey, Alph? What's going on with the Drake's emergency ejection system? I think it's too sensitive.”
- “Agreed. That seems to be part of the design, unfortunately.”
- “The other day, your chair shouldn't have ejected you out into the tundra like that.”
- “Don't you think it's a bit dangerous for the auto-eject to kick in because of a little turbulence!”
- “I do! We should have someone look at that! Oh... You want me to look at it, don't you?”
- “If it wouldn't be too much trouble!”
Small talk 15[edit]
- US text:
- “Sometimes I wish I could program my brain to be more effective when it comes to multitasking...”
- “Maybe I could work on that for you, Brittany! I am an engineer, after all.”
- “You keep your hands off her brain! We need Brittany in top form if we are to complete our mission!”
- “Brittany, multitasking is easy! All you have to do is issue precise commands in a loud voice.”
- “If you're unsure about something, don't let that stop you! Keep talking. Eventually, you'll be right!”
- “Wow! What great advice, Captain!”
- “This does not bode well for the future of our mission...”
- Europe text:
- “Sometimes I wish I could programme my brain to be better at multi-tasking.”
- “Maybe I could work on that for you, Brittany! I am an engineer, after all.”
- “You keep your hands off her brain! We need Brittany in top form if we are to complete our mission!”
- “Look, Brittany, multi-tasking is easy! All you have to do is issue precise commands in a loud voice.”
- “And if you feel unsure of yourself, don't let that stop you! Keep talking. Eventually, you'll be right!”
- “Wow! What great advice, Captain!”
- “(This doesn't bode well for the future.)”
Small talk 16[edit]
- US text:
- “You know, there's something I've been wondering about all this time.”
- “That rubber ducky floating around? Is that yours, Brittany?”
- “Are you joking?”
- “That's mine, thank you very much! My rubber ducky goes everywhere with me.”
- “I can't sleep a wink without this little guy!”
- “So, it's a security ducky, Captain?”
- “I guess under that tough exterior, the captain's just a big softie!”
- Europe text:
- “You know, there's something I've been wondering about this entire trip.”
- “That rubber duck toy floating around... Is it yours, Brittany?”
- “You must be joking! What would I want with a piece of junk like that?”
- “That's mine, thank you very much!”
- “His name's Rubber Ducky, and he accompanies me on all of my adventures.”
- “Don't know why, but I never can get a good night's sleep unless I know he's by my side.”
- “So it's a bit like a teddy bear, eh, Captain?”
- “Yes, Alph. I think we get the idea.”
Small talk 17[edit]
- US text:
- “Alph. Why did you want to be a part of this mission?”
- “Because I wanted to meet the legendary ranger, Captain Charlie.”
- “Really? Is that the only reason? Not because you wanted to help save Koppai?”
- “No, that too! But, you know, there are just so many legends out there about the captain's heroism!”
- “I mean, there's the legend of Operation: Rubber Ducky Stucky.”
- “And Operation: Rubber Ducky up a Tree.”
- “Not to mention Operation: Beached Rubber Ducky.”
- “Well... I can see that you definitely did your research, Alph.”
- Europe text:
- “Alph. Why did you want to be a part of this mission?”
- “Because I wanted to meet the legendary ranger, Captain Charlie.”
- “Really? Is that the only reason? Not because you wanted to help save Koppai?”
- “No, that too! But, you know, there are just so many legends out there about the Captain's heroism!”
- “I mean, there's the legend of Operation: Rubber Ducky Stuckie.”
- “And Operation: Rubber Ducky Up A Tree.”
- “Not to mention Operation: Beached Rubber Ducky.”
- “Well... I can see that you definitely did your research, Alph.”

- “Ohhh...I still get shivers thinking about that last mission...”
- Europe text:

Small talk 18[edit]
- US text:
- “The Hocotatians' space suits are similar to ours, aren't they?”
- “Yes, well, I'm sure that our space programs probably shop at the same store.”
- “Just remember, it's not the space of the suit but the space between your ears that matters.”
- “I don't think you said that right.”
- Europe text:
- “Now I think about it, the Hocotatians' spacesuits are similar to ours, aren't they?”
- “I remember seeing the same suit in the Star Bazaar catalogue!”
- “I bought my spacesuit from Star Bazaar too!”
- “Their spacesuits seem to be popular everywhere.”
- “That's right.”
- “(I hate it when I end up wearing the same thing as everyone else...)”
Small talk 19[edit]
- US text:
- “I'm surprised that there are Hocotatians on this planet.”
- “Are they here seeking treasure?”
- “Possibly. I hear that planet has a lot of people who make their living off of treasure hunting.”
- “So we came here looking for a way to save our home planet...and they're here looking for treasure?”
- “Yeah, must be nice, huh?”
- Europe text:
- “I'm surprised that there are Hocotatians on this planet.”
- “Are they here seeking treasure?”
- “Possibly. I hear that Hocotate has a lot of people who make their living from treasure hunting.”
- “So we came here looking for a way to save our home planet...and they're here looking for treasure?”
- “Yeah, all right for some, eh?”
Small talk 20[edit]
- US text:
- “When the sun sets, we take to the relative safety of the air...”
- “I wonder what it's like on the surface at night...”
- “I would think the nocturnal animals might make it rather dangerous.”
- “We definitely wouldn't be able to sleep easily, that's for certain.”
- “That's true. But I'm not really sleeping very well as it is, anyway. My stomach gurgles, you know...”
- Europe text:
- “When the sun sets, we take to the relative safety of the air...”
- “I wonder what it's like on the surface at night?”
- “I would think the nocturnal creatures might make it rather dangerous.”
- “We definitely wouldn't be able to sleep easily, that's for certain.”
- “Yes, you're probably right. I don't fancy ending up as a midnight snack for some ferocious beast!”
Small talk 21[edit]
- US text:
- “I still can't shake this awful feeling that there was something more to our crash than we know...”
- “It felt almost as if some power from the planet's surface was manipulating our ship...”
- Europe text:
- “I still can't shake this nagging feeling that there was something more to our crash than we know.”
- “It felt almost as if some power from the planet's surface were manipulating our ship...”
Small talk 22[edit]
- US text:
- “Even if we bring these seeds back to Koppai, what's to stop another food crisis from happening?”
- “If we continue consuming without any foresight, we're gonna have to do this whole thing over again!”
- “But what if we can't find another PNF-404? We need to create a responsible process of consumption.”
- “And I think working with the Pikmin has taught us how to do that.”
- “Hee hee... Maybe you should run for office when we get back to Koppai, Alph!”
- Europe text:
- “Even if we take these seeds back to Koppai, what's to stop another food crisis from happening?”
- “Exactly. If we continue just to mindlessly consume food without any planning or foresight, this whole cycle will simply repeat...”
- “And if we can't find another PNF-404, we'll really be in trouble!”
- “What we need is to set up a sustainable cycle of production and consumption on Koppai.”
- “And I think working with the Pikmin has taught us how to do that.”
- “Hee hee... Maybe you should stand for election when we get back to Koppai, Alph!”
Small talk 23[edit]
- US text:
- “Hocotate... Hocotate...? Is that the place with the Pikpik carrots?”
- “It sure is! These Pikmin actually look a lot like those Pikpik carrots!”
- “Of course! That's why the Hocotatian calls them Pikmin! I can't believe I just realized that!”
- “I'm not a big fan of vegetables.”
- “And I certainly don't think I could ever eat a Pikpik carrot now with this bit of information.”
- Europe text:
- “Hocotate... Hocotate...? That's the place with the Pikpik Carrots, right?”
- “It certainly is! You know, the Pikmin actually look a lot like those Pikpik Carrots.”
- “In fact...that must be why the Hocotatian called them Pikmin! I can't believe I didn't realise!”
- “Oh, I get it now. I'm not a big fan of vegetables, though...”
- “And anyway, I certainly don't think I could ever eat a Pikpik Carrot now!”
Small talk 24[edit]
- US text:
- “...”
- “What is it, Captain? Are you OK?”
- “Oh yes, I... I was just thinking how lucky I am to have met you two.”
- “I've never enjoyed giving orders... as much as I have...since we—”
- “I know how you feel, Captain! I feel the same way! Well, I mean, about following your orders.”
- “It's an absolute honor to work with one of Koppai's greatest legends!”
- “Yes...I suppose it would be. I guess I should say you're welcome, Alph. And...thank you. Truly.”
- Europe text:
- “...”
- “What is it, Captain? Are you OK?”
- “Oh yes, I... I was just thinking how lucky I am to have met you two.”
- “Especially you, Brit—”
- “I know how you feel, Captain! I feel the same way!”
- “It's a real honour to work with one of Koppai's greatest legends!”
- “Well, thank you, Alph.”
Small talk 25[edit]
- US text:
- “We need to get down to the root cause of Koppai's food crisis.”
- “You mean besides overpopulation?”
- “Well yeah, maybe that's part of it...”
- “And besides the fact that we're awful at planning for the future?”
- “That's a possibility...”
- “Plus, we have no self-control.”
- “OK, Brittany, but what do you think is at the core of the problem?”
- “The fact that we're terrible at accepting difficult truths?”
- “No, I don't think it's that...”
- Europe text:
- “We need to get down to the root cause of Koppai's food crisis.”
- “You mean besides overpopulation?”
- “Well yeah, maybe that's part of it...”
- “And besides the fact that we never consider planning for the future?”
- “That's a possibility...”
- “Plus, we only ever eat what we like and have no self-control.”
- “OK, Brittany, but what do you think is the real core of the problem?”
- “The fact that we're terrible at accepting difficult truths?”
- “Yeah, I don't think it's that...”
Small talk 26[edit]
- US text:
- “If we're to further our explorations in an efficient manner, division of labor will be key!”
- “How about we assign different leaders for each objective?”
- “Right, well then...Alph will lead the ground exploration!”
- “On it! I'll go on a solo mission to search for food.”
- “Yes, I was just about to give that order! ...Being the captain and all.”
- Europe text:
- “Right, crew! In order to explore this planet more efficiently we need to divide up the labour!”
- “Do you mean that we should assign different objectives to each crew member, Captain?”
- “Yes! That's exactly it. Well then... Alph, you take charge of ground exploration!”
- “Aye aye, sir!”
- “Now, Brittany, you and I will—”
- “Actually, I'll go on a solo mission to search for food.”
- “Well, yes, we should all use our own initiative of course!”
Small talk 27[edit]
- US text:
- “If what this Louie says is true...”
- “he actually cooks and eats some of these creatures.”
“Food!”- “Vegetables, fruit, meat... He'll eat anything. Incredibly adaptable...”
- “Incredibly weird, if you ask me. Hocotatians are vegetarians!”
- “At least they're supposed to be...”
- “The need to survive probably overtakes any dietary preferences.”
- “That's true. We Koppaites could learn from his ability to adapt!”
- “Well, he could learn from our ability to form complete sentences.”
- Europe text:
- “If what this Louie says is true, he actually cooks and eats some of these creatures.”
- “Food!”
- “Vegetables, fruit, meat... He'll eat anything. Incredibly adaptable...”
- “Incredibly weird if you ask me. Hocotatians are vegetarians! At least they're supposed to be...”
- “The need to survive probably overtakes any dietary preferences.”
- “That's true. We Koppaites could learn from his ability to adapt!”
- “Well, he could learn from our ability to form proper sentences.”
Small talk 28[edit]
- US text:
- “Those Hocotatians! I can't believe I thought they only ate vegetables!”
- “Judging by Louie here, I'd say they pretty much eat anything they can get their hands on.”
- “Food!”
- “Oh, put a lid on it! Thanks to him, we'll have to ration our supplies even further!”
- “I think we're going to hear a lot of loud tummies soon...”
- Europe text:
- “Those Hocotatians! I can't believe I thought they only ate vegetables!”
- “Judging by Louie here, I'd say they eat pretty much anything they can get their hands on.”
- “Food!”
- “Oh, put a lid on it! Thanks to him, we'll have to ration our supplies even further!”
- “(No doubt about it. I'll have to cut the Captain's share down...even further!)”
Small talk 29[edit]
- US text:
- “So, why do you suppose Louie stole the captain's rubber ducky anyway?”
- “Beats me. Maybe he thought he could eat it?”
- “Or maybe it's just his treasure-grubbing Hocotatian blood!”
- “Well, at least these Hocotatians recognize precious objects when they see them!”
- “"Precious" might be overstating it...”
- Europe text:
- “So, why do you suppose Louie stole the Captain's Rubber Ducky anyway?”
- “It beats me. Maybe he thought he could eat it?”
- “Or maybe it's just in his nature as a treasure-grubbing Hocotatian!”
- “Having said that, at least these Hocotatians recognise precious objects when they see them!”
- “'Precious' might be overstating it...”
Small talk 30[edit]
- US text:
- “All things considered, it's pretty surprising that Hocotatians have come to this planet.”
- “Perhaps they came here looking for treasure?”
- “That sounds right. I heard that some people on that planet make a living from treasure hunting.”
- “That sounds like a high-stakes business.”
- “Their obsession with treasure doesn't sound too different from the Koppaite obsession with food.”

Small talk 31[edit]
- US and Europe text:
- “Have you noticed that the Onion gets a little bigger whenever it fuses with another Onion?”
- “Even so, it's amazing how such a large army of Pikmin can fit in there.”
- “They must be great at maximizing their space. Maybe they're good at cleaning too? And dusting?”
- “Um, Brittany, I'm not sure that logically follows.”
Small talk 32[edit]
- US text:
- “So far... So far from home...”
- “Captain? Are you OK?”
- “I was just thinking how far we are from home...”
- “I know. It's almost like a dream.”
- “Wait—what? Captain, I figured being away from Koppai was old hat for a legendary ranger like you.”
- “Oh, of course! It's just, sometimes, you know, space can seem so... big. And spacious.”
- “Captain, that's truly insightful!”
- “Space is so spacious! I'm going to go write that down. Incredible!”
- “You do that, Alph. You do that...”
- Europe text:

- “Oh, of course! It's just, sometimes, space can seem so...spacious... and lonely... You know, Brittany, I—”
- “Captain that's truly insightful!”
- “Space IS so spacious! I'm going to go and write that down! So poetic!”
- “Right... Thanks, Alph.”
Small talk 33[edit]
- US text:
- “Did you realize that it's been _ days since we first landed on this planet?”
- “Feeling homesick, Alph?”
- “(Personally, I can't wait until I can sleep in my bed again.)”

- “(Although I am looking forward to being reunited with my dearest Elizabeth.)”
- “Um... You do realize that I can hear every word you two are saying?”
- Europe text:

Small talk 34[edit]

- “We all are. We've been on this planet for _ days.”

- “(It's situations like these that test my abilities as a leader.)”
- “(But this is also an opportunity to gain Brittany's respect.)”
- “Captain, you're thinking out loud again.”

Small talk 36[edit]
- US text:
- “We've been on this planet for _ days now.”
- “It's amazing how we've been able to live off the land. This planet's bounty seems to have no end.”
- “Now, don't be modest, Brittany. Another key factor in our survival has been your rationing plan!”
- “Um, don't mention it!”
- “(Actually, my rationing "plan" is just to give the captain less food.)”
- Europe text:
- “We've been on this planet... for _ days already.”
- “It's amazing how we've been able to survive like this, just living off the land.”
- “Now, don't be modest, Brittany. It's all been thanks to your brilliant rationing plan!”
- “Oh, err... Don't mention it!”
- “(He still thinks he's getting the same size portion as everyone else... Perfect!)”
Small talk 37[edit]
- US and Europe text:
- “What's the matter, Alph? You seem lost in thought.”
- “I was just thinking about how far we are from home.”
- “We've certainly come a long way, haven't we?”
- “It feels a bit like a dream, to be honest.”
- “Oh, right, this is your first time away from Koppai, isn't it?”
- “Feeling homesick is only natural. But don't worry. We'll be home soon enough.”
Small talk 38[edit]
- US text:
- “So, that memo data file we found was left behind by someone from the planet Hocotate?”
- “Correct. I wonder how Hocotatians would fare on this planet. They're vegetarians, you know.”
- “Vegetarians? Does that mean what I think it means?”
- “If you think it means that they don't eat meat, then...yes.”
- “Hocotate is well known for its Pikpik carrots. I tried them once... They were kind of gross.”
- “You? Ate vegetables? I can hardly believe it!”
- “It was my duty as a botanist. But those carrots aren't really suited to the Koppaite palate.”
- “Right, but if we ate vegetables, maybe we wouldn't have to travel 279,000 light-years to get food.”
- Europe text:
- “So, the data file we found recently was created by someone from Hocotate?”
- “That's right. Apparently Hocotatians are vegetarians and eat nothing but vegetables.”
- “They're famous for their PikPik brand carrots. I tried them once, but they were utterly revolting.”
- “You? Ate vegetables? I can't believe it!”
- “I did it in the name of science. But I don't think vegetables are really suited to the Koppaite palate.”
- “Still, if we could learn to like them, in the future we might not have to come all this way across the galaxy just to find food!”
Small talk 39[edit]
- US text:
- “I've been analyzing the data files that we've found.”
- “Based on them, it seems likely that the Hocotatian picked up our cosmic-drive key.”
- “Interesting. Well, all the pieces seem to fit.”
- “I'm worried about our food though. What if it gets stolen?”
- “Worry not, Brittany! I would never let that—”
- “Brittany raises a good point! While we're collecting food, let's keep an eye out for that Hocotatian!”
- “Er, yes. Absolutely...”
- Europe text:
- “I've been analysing the data files that we've found.”
- “Based on the files, it seems likely that the Hocotatian picked up our cosmic drive key.”
- “Interesting. Well, all the pieces seem to fit.”
- “It makes me worry about our food supply though. What if the Hocotatian gets to it first?”
- “Worry not, Brittany! I would never let that—”
- “Brittany has a point! We should continue to gather more food while we look for the Hocotatian!”
- “Er, yes. Absolutely...”
Small talk 40[edit]
- US text:
- “The fruits on this planet are just delicious, aren't they?”
- “Definitely. And they really do wonders for the skin.”
- “That must be because they have more Piktamin U than most of the fruits native to Koppai.”
- “Yep! Eating all of this great fruit has pretty much cleared up that weird blotchiness you had!”
- “So let's gather as much as we can to bring back home with us. For everyone's sake.”
- Europe text:
- “The fruit on this planet is pretty tasty, isn't it?”
- “Yes...and I think it might somehow be good for the skin too.”
- “That nutrient called Piktamin U, is that what's making your skin glow?”
- “That's right, Alph! Aren't you observant?!”
- “So, we'd better take as much fruit back to Koppai with us as we can!”
Small talk 41[edit]
- US text:
- “The variety of fruit on this planet is truly impressive.”
- “Sometimes I think about making a home here. It might be nice.”
- “All the juice you can drink...”
- “Do you think people would ever visit this planet on vacation?”
- “I don't know, but right now, the people of Koppai are depending on us to stay on the task at hand!”
- “Er, yes, of course, Alph... I was just wondering if tourists would like it here... No harm in that...”
- Europe text:
- “The variety of fruit on this planet is truly impressive.”
- “Yes, I agree. Sometimes I think about staying here. It might be kind of nice!”
- “Yes, I know what you mean!”
- “Well, Brittany, if you really feel that way, the two of us could—”
- “But the people of Koppai are depending on our return!”
- “Forgive me, Captain! I almost lost sight of our goal for a moment!”
- “Er...yes... Well, we'll overlook it this time, Alph...”
Small talk 42[edit]
- US text:
- “Hey, check it out! Since coming to this planet, we've gathered _ types of fruit!”
- “Wow, that's truly remarkable!”
- “Agreed. It's all thanks to you, my faithful crew!”
- “Alph, how much fruit is there left on this planet now?”
- “Let's see... The number of pieces now remaining is..._.”
- “Well, we might as well try to get everything we can.”
- “Yes, the more food we manage to gather, the better.”
- “It's the last stretch! Let's keep it up!”
- Europe text:
- “Hey, check it out! Since coming to this planet, we've gathered _ types of fruit!”

- “The Yellow Pikmin definitely made an impression on me in that cave.”
- “What a coincidence, Brittany! Have I ever told you what a big impression you've made on me?”
- “...? That's a little awkward. Anyway, it's interesting to hear about how we all met the Pikmin.”
- Europe text:
- “The area we explored yesterday was where I first encountered the Red Pikmin.”
- “Oh, really? I remember when I first encountered the Yellow Pikmin in that tundra...”
- “I guess the ones I first met were the Rock Pikmin. Or maybe the Red Pikmin.”
- “But the ones that left the biggest impression on me were the Yellow Pikmin I encountered in the cave.”
- “What a coincidence, Brittany! Have I ever told you what a big impression you've made on m—”
- “Wow! Isn't it funny how we all have places here associated with our own Pikmin encounters?”
Small talk 44[edit]
- US text:
- “The flowers on this planet are just gigantic, aren't they?”
- “I've been thinking of plucking one to give to a certain someone.”
- “Oh, that's kind of you, Captain, but I'm allergic to a lot of plants.”
- “I don't think he was talking about you, Alph.”
- “Yeah, right. Well who else would he be talking about, Brittany?!”
- “Thanks, Captain. I appreciate the gesture.”
- “I think we may need to get the oxygen levels in your helmet checked, Alph.”
- Europe text:
- “The flowers on this planet are just huge, aren't they?”

- “Oh, that's kind of you, Captain, but I'm allergic to a lot of plants.”
- “I think you might have misunderstood, Alph.”
- “Really? No, it was nice of him to think of it.”
- “Thank you, Captain. I appreciate the thought.”
- “I think we may need to get the oxygen levels in your helmet checked, Alph.”
Small talk 45[edit]
- US text:
- “The place we explored yesterday sure was cold!”
- “Huh? But if you're wearing a space suit, you shouldn't feel cold...”
- “That's what I thought. Maybe I need to recalibrate my suit.”
- “I'm wondering if maybe I bought a cheap space suit.”
- “I can take a look at your suit later. I really hope the captain's OK...”
- Europe text:
- “The place we explored yesterday was so cold.”
- “Really? You shouldn't ever be cold if you're wearing a spacesuit.”
- “I was definitely feeling chilly. Maybe my suit's not up to scratch.”
- “Serves me right for buying it at the Star Bazaar clearance sale, I suppose. Fashion, you see, is—”
- “Cool story, Brittany. I do hope the Captain's OK...”
Small talk 46[edit]
