Editing Hocotate ship's dialogs

In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the [[Hocotate Ship]] serves as a guide to the player, and gives advice when certain events are triggered.  This page is a list of dialog from the ship.

==Opening Cutscene==

"''Treasure! Treasure! Treasure! Money! Money! Money! Money!''

''Initiating valuation of recovered treasure. This artifact is worth...''

''100 Pokos!''"

==Day 1==

"''Brrrzzzzzt! That was close. I have averted a crash landing. Running diagnostics...''

''Alert! Danger! <span style="color:blue">Louie</span> is missing. He must have somehow fallen out of his cockpit.''

''...He is not responding via his communicator. He is either flouting protocol...or in danger!''

''<span style="color:red">Olimar</span>! You must find <span style="color:blue">Louie</span> before he freezes to death in the cold of this planet!''

''Wait a moment! Look!''

''Could these be '''Pikmin'''! They look like they are about to be devoured as we speak!''

''You must help them, quickly! Press '''B''' to '''call them''' with your whistle, Captain Olimar!''

''You can also '''hold B''' to make the sound of your whistle '''carry farther'''. Remember?''"

----

"''The Pikmin ran to your side! They seem to remember you, Captain Olimar! How fascinating.''

''Give them instructions, and do not delay! Hold '''A''' to grab a Pikmin and release to '''throw it'''.''"

----

"''Attention! Captain Olimar! I have just reestablished my communications link with Louie.''

''It is fortunate we have managed to confirm his safety. Press '''Y''' to '''communicate with him'''.''

''I am quite interested in the details of his condition...''"

----

"''Louie! Allow me to assess your condition, as per our safety protocols. Are you at all injured?''

''...Is that so? Then my concerns are eased. Our communication link shows you are nearby.''

''Can you make your way to our location and rejoin us? I will navigate for you.''

''Press '''START/PAUSE''' to '''contact me''' and obtain information about the terrain.''"

----

"''Louie! The odd object before you appears to be one of the '''Onions''' mentioned in Olimar's report.''

''The seed the Onion ejected just sprouted! According to Olimar's report, it can be '''plucked''' with '''A'''.''"

----

"''Louie, this must be one of the '''Pikmin''' creatures from Olimar's report. It is staring at you.''

''You can use '''C''' to '''issue objectives''' to your Pikmin squad and even direct their movement.''

''You can '''disband''' your squad with '''X'''. Interesting...''

''Olimar's description of the creatures resembling Pikpik carrots was strikingly accurate.''

''Louie... My sensors have detected drool in the corner of your mouth. Are you all right?''"

----

"''The Onion ejected more seeds! The pellet from that flower must hold '''nutrients that breed Pikmin'''.''

''Yes! The Pikmin gather nutrients, haul them to the Onion, and further propagate the species!''

''The Onion is a Pikmin '''mother ship'''!''

''Reviewing Olimar's report, it seems '''repeatedly tapping A''' lets one rapidly pluck Pikmin sprouts.''"

----

"''Perhaps this object is one of the '''treasures''' that we are searching for!''

''The only reason we found it here is because this is where you crash-landed. How fortunate!''

''I would like to appraise it, but you must regroup with Olimar first. Can you see him?''

''Press '''L''' to '''move the camera behind you''', '''R''' to '''zoom''', and '''Z''' to '''change''' angles.''"

----

"''Captain Olimar! Louie! Your are reunited at last! This has been a troublesome start to our trip.''

''But now you must feel assured that your combined wits can get you through anything. Correct?''

''From now on, use '''B''' to '''form a single group''', '''X''' to '''take solo action''', and '''Y''' to '''change leaders'''.''"

----

"''Our first day of exploration has yielded our first treasure! We will be done in record time!''

''I took the liberty of naiming it when I appraised it. The name reflects my current "thinking."''

''Leave it to me to think up catchy names for '''hit products'''! It is but one of my many talents!''

''We shall end our first day here and report back to our '''president'''! His face will surely be joyous!''

''However, to communicate with Hocotate, we must fly into low orbit above the planet.''

''We will not return to the surface until morning, so as to '''avoid the indigenous nocturnal creatures'''.''"

==Day 2==

"''Good morning, workers! Ready for another day of toiling for the profit of your company?''

''The Pikmin seem to still be asleep inside their Onion. What lazy creatures!''

''No wonder they lack survival skills. Stand '''beneath the Onion''' and press '''A''' to call them out.''"

----

"''How could Pikmin destroy such a massive wall? When massed, their might is ferocious!''

''Louie! Did Olimar instruct you on proper Pikmin-commanding protocol?''

''Apparently not. Olimar! You are failing in you duty as a superior! Allow me to explain...''

''Press '''A''' to grab Pikmin and release to '''throw''' them. Call them into a '''group''' with '''B'''.''

''Press '''X''' to '''disband''' the group. Use '''C''' to '''issue orders''' and objectives to the group.''

'''''C''' is useful for swarming Pikmin around treasures and enemies, or making them march in a line!''"

----

"''Interesting... Warm air is welling up from the hole in the ground before you.''

''What could lie underground? ...What is wrong? You both show expressions of unease.''

''Do not fear! The '''leader's group of Pikmin''' will join you. I shall dispatch my '''research pod''', too.''

''Approach the hole and press '''A''' to jump in!''"

----

"''Intriguing... My heat sensors indicate that this hole's interior is warmer than on the surface.''

''Analysis suggests subterranean areas may support different life-forms than the surface.''

''If you wish to check underground terrain, press '''START/PAUSE''' to communicate with me.''

''I am not just a ship... I am an all-purpose support pod!''"

----

"''This hole appears to be quite deep. My sensors indicate more treacherous terrain ahead.''

''Louie, you do recall that you can adjust the camera with '''L''', '''R''' and '''Z''', correct?''

''Your expression suggests you do. Excellent! Then '''approach the hole and press A''' to enter it!''"

----

"''It's inconceivable that such an immense object has been buried here for so long.''

''The design on the outer shell resembles the surface of the planet as seen from space!''

''Perhaps this can be used for something '''other than salvage'''.''

''But how will we ever lift it? I fear that even '''100 red Pikmin will be unable to lift it'''!''"

----

"''Astounding! A flower blooms in a cave deep beneath the snowy landscape!''

''Clearly it is warmer down here than above. Look. The Pikmin are restless...''

''They look as if '''they yearn to be tossed into the flower'''.''"

----

"''Amazing! A purple Pikmin! It has hair...and is quite stocky. It seems '''very heavy and strong.'''''

''This kind of Pikmin was not mentioned in your report, Olimar. It must be an '''entirely new type'''!''

''Transforming Pikmin by tossing them into flowers? Intriguing... Perhaps there are others...?''"

----

"''There is a device resembling a microchip embedded inside this sphere. Retrieving data...''

''...Error. I could only decode a portion of the data, but I did retrieve new geographic charts.''

''I will input this data into my planetary database and name it the '''Sphere Chart'''.''

'''''Press START/PAUSE to contact me''' and access the '''Exploration Kit''' on the radar screen with '''L'''.''

''Now that we have this new data, you should explore the decoded territory tomorrow.''"

----

"''<span style="font-size:1.25em">Astounding!</span><br />''
''Water is shooting out of this geyser with incredible force!''

''Sensors indicate it has enough power to launch you into the air. '''Approach it and press A''' to try!''"

----

"''You have successfully returned to the planet's surface! Excellent decision making, gentlemen!''

''We must celebrate your first successful spelunking expedition!''

''You've gathered a large amount of data that needs in-depth analysis.''

''I shall send a report back to the president tonight detailing your progress.''"

----

"''Olimar and Louie, since you will explore a '''new area''' tomorrow, today's work is done!''

''...What? You still want to work?! Unacceptable! You may not realize it, but you are exhausted!''

''You should take a much-needed rest, as you have '''all the time you need to collect treasure'''!''

''Haste makes waste, so take it slow and steady.''"

==Day 3==

"''Good morning! It should please you to know the purple Pikmin are lodged safely in my hull.''

''The confines of my interior seem to suit them perfectly, though they do occasionally tickle me.''

''Stand in the '''ring of light''' below me and press '''A''' to call the purple Pikmin out.''"

==Pikmin types==

===Blue Pikmin===
"''<span style="font-size:1.25em">Look there!</span><br />''
''Wild blue Pikmin are chasing prey near the water's edge!''

''Perhaps by observing these wild specimens, we can understand more about their true nature...''

''Krzzt! Ding! I apologize, I was momentarily entranced by them. Now, back to work!''"

----

"''At last, you have encountered them! They seem to have gill-like ducts on their cheeks.''

''They must be blue Pikmin! Like the other types, they look to you for direction.''

''While they are indeed surviving naturally, they still seem to long for a valiant leader.''"

===Purple Pikmin===
"''Amazing! A purple Pikmin! It has hair...and is quite stocky. It seems '''very heavy and strong.''' ''

''This kind of Pikmin was not mentioned in your report, Olimar. It must be an '''entirely new type'''!''

''Transforming Pikmin by tossing them into flowers? Intriguing... Perhaps there are others...?''"

===White Pikmin===
"''Incredible! A white Pikmin! It is tiny, but looks distinctly '''swift'''. Its eyes are unseemly red.''

''This type of Pikmin was not mentioned in your notes, Olimar. It must be an '''entirely new type'''!''

''Our data record on this type is a blank page, since a certain captain never documented them.''

''You must experiment and make detailed observations for the benefit of future generations.''"

==Candypop Buds==
===Violet Candypop Bud===
"''Astounding! A flower blooms in a cave deep beneath the snowy landscape!''

''Clearly it is warmer down here than above. Look. The Pikmin are restless...''

''They look as if '''they yearn to be tossed into the flower'''. ''"

===Ivory Candypop Bud===
"''How can a flower so deep underground bloom so robustly?!? How mysterious...''

''This place is conspicuously warm. Could it act as a kind of hothouse for foliage?''

''What an interesting development: '''the Pikmin look as if they long to be tossed into the flower'''...''"

==Exploration Kit==
==Anti-Electrifier==
"''Processing...How bizarre. An item appears to have fallen out of that freakish creature.''

''It must have been a greedy beast to swallow something like this.''"

----

"''This intriguing material does not conduct electricity.''

''It is far more advanced than the material I was researching. <br />
''...How frustrating.''

''A space suit made from this wonder alloy would insulate the wearer from electric shocks.''

''Excellent! This new material has allowed me to complete my '''Anti-electrifier'''!''

''It is my own invention, with only the smallest iota of outside inspiration.''

''I have reconfigured your suits with this new material. '''They will now protect you from electricity!'''''"
===Mega Tweeter===
"''Processing... How odd. The gooey creature dissolved, leaving this curious item behind.''

''It appears to be coated in slime. Are you sure you want to collect this? ...Absolutely sure?''

''You'll toss just about anything in my hold. It would be nice if you cleaned occasionally.''"

----

"''This shape is well suited for the emission and amplification of sound waves. A moment, please.''

''I shall use this as the final part in my new sound equipment. The'' '''''<span style="font-size:1.25em">Mega Tweeter</span>''''' ''is done!''

''Captain Olimar, this device has increased the acoustic range of your whistle!''

===Napsack===
"''Well done, Captain Olimar! You've defeated that freakish half-bird, half-serpent hybrid!''

''Oh, no. Don't tell me... That treasure was ingested by that beast, wasn't it?''"

----

"''This material looks comfortable. I will use it to patch the boss's favorite sleeping bag.''

''Seam test...conclusive. Cross-stitching...successful. The'' '''''<span style="font-size:1.25em">Napsack</span>''''' ''is complete!''

''When you have an unoccupied time interval, '''press and hold X to take a nap'''!''

==Sprays==
===Ultra Bitter Spray===
"''Most impressive! This fierce beast became as hard as stone in a mere instant!''

''The '''ultra-bitter extract''' seems to have a side effect that '''stops beasts in their tracks!!'''''"

==Challenge Mode unlocked==
"''This object seems familiar. I will combine it with the president's parallel-dimension controller.''

''ALERT!!! Sensors indicate a massive dimensional shift at a distant location.''

''I'm receiving a message from a far-flung dimension. Displaying the message now...''

'' "Challenge Mode can now be accessed from the title screen."''

''It appears to be total gibberish. Hopefully the message has reached its intended recipient.''

''I will name this apparently worthless device '''the Key.''' ''"

==Bulbmin==
"''The confused bulborb has fallen in with the Pikmin. They appear to coexist peacefully.''

''Strange...this bulborb has a leaf sprouting from its spine, much like the leaf on a Pikmin's head.''"

==Debt Repayment==

"''Mission complete! You've earned 10,000 Pokos!''

''Now Hocotate Freight will be prosperous and debt free until the end of time! ...Probably.''

''Prepare to blast off! We return to Hocotate triumphantly!''" 

==Titan Dweevil==
"''Is that Louie?!? Mr. President! I have located Louie resting on a vast mound of treasure!''

''For him to venture to those depths alone... The desire of a man is a thing to be feared!''

''...But Louie is not moving. Could he have exhausted his strength in reaching these depths?''

''There may yet be time. Quickly! To Louie's aid!''"

----

"''Louie? ... ...''

''... Are your life functions fading? ...''

''No! He appears only to have fainted! He is always running into trouble...''

''Instruct the Pikmin to carry him. There is not enough room for him in the cockpit anymore.''

''We will have to keep him in the cargo hold with the treasure hoard.''"
