*All scientific names and implied family names, such as Ploister or Water Slime, from the Pikmin Player's Guide and New Play Control! Pikmin Prima Guide aren't used in Pikmin 4, and instead new scientifc names are used. While the canon of these strategy guides is debatable, Olimar has reclassified creatures and their scientic names before, and this could be another example of this. | *All scientific names and implied family names, such as Ploister or Water Slime, from the Pikmin Player's Guide and New Play Control!

*Olimar says Rock Pikmin are new in Olimar's Assignment, however this could just be because Rock Pikmin have a gray stem in Pikmin 3 and not a black one like they are in Pikmin 4. | *Olimar says Rock Pikmin are new in Olimar's Assignment, however this could just be because Rock Pikmin have a gray stem in Pikmin 3 and not a black one like they are in Pikmin 4. | ||
*In ''Hey! Pikmin'', Olimar states that he doesn’t know how the Red Pikmin's fire resitance works exactly. However, in Pikmin 4, Olimar gives a detailed explanation for how it works. It is possible Hey Pikmin is before Pikmin 4, however the existance of the [[S.S. Dolphin II]] makes this unlikely. Purple and White Onions also exist in ''Hey! Pikmin'', which Olimar says haven't been discovered yet in ''Pikmin 4''. This could also just be because Olimar doesn’t know how the "flame-resitant cellulose" works. | *In ''Hey!

*In Pikmin 3, Olimar says that he has been to PNF-404 twice before. Given how close the events of ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'' are, he could count that as one trip, and his time on the planet in ''Pikmin 4'' as the second trip. This would explain why Olimar didn't count his trip where he came back to PNF-404 to save Louie and recover the rest of the treasure in ''Pikmin 2''. | *In Pikmin 3, Olimar says that he has been to PNF-404 twice before.

*In Olimar's Voyage Log V2, exclusive to Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Olimar states that the last time he was on the planet, he brought back so much money it saved his company from debt. However, if ''Pikmin 3'' takes place after ''Pikmin 4'', then this would not be the last time he visited the planet. It is possible that while Louie and Olimar were away in ''Pikmin 4'', Hocotate Freight fell into debt again, and that Olimar used the treasure the [[S.S. Shepherd]] collected to pay off this debt as well, however this is unconfirmed. | *In Olimar's Voyage Log V2, exclusive to Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Olimar states that the last time he was on the planet, he brought back so much money it saved his company from debt.
