'''Hocotate''' ({{j|ホコタテ|Hokotate}}) is the home planet of some of the [[leader]]s in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' franchise]], most notably [[Captain Olimar]] and his [[Minor characters#Olimar's family|family]], as well as [[Louie]]. While no gameplay takes place on Hocotate, various information about the planet is known through [[notes]] and [[cutscene]]s. Life on Hocotate appears to be similar to life on Earth, though with some major differences.

==Geography==
[[File:Hocotate surface.png|thumb|left|[[Hocotate Freight]]'s yard and surrounding architecture; note the clouds in the background.]]
Hocotate is a pink-colored planet with some blue and green patches, and possesses two intersecting planetary rings. Its exact location in the universe has yet to be specified, though it most likely takes place in a different star system from ours, as an incredibly bright star can be seen behind it. It is also said to be quite close to [[Koppai]].{{cite quote|...Hocotate? I think that's near Koppai.|Alph after reading a data file|''Pikmin 3''}}{{cite quote|Because of Hocotate's proximity to Koppai, the planet has always been an interest of mine.|A miscellaneous voyage log|Pikmin 3}} In [[Olimar's voyage log]], he explains that his family is probably gazing up at the planet's "pale red moon".{{cite quote|Looking from this planet into the skies above, I see the pale white moon floating overhead. It brings to mind memories of the moon from back home. I bet that even now my wife and children are sitting at home, gazing up at our pale red moon... Hang on, dear ones! Your Olimar will return some day!|[[Captain Olimar]]|a [[Olimar's voyage log|voyage log]]}} This moon, along with another grayish moon, can be seen in the endings of ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Hey! Pikmin''. ''Hey! Pikmin'' depicts them with much brighter colors, with the gray moon now being blue (possibly implying water is there) with white clouds. Stars are visible from the planet's surface during the daytime, indicating a very transparent atmosphere. It is known that the concentration of oxygen on [[PNF-404]] is toxic to Hocotatians,{{cite quote|To make matters worse, my atmospheric sensors indicate this planet's environment contains high levels of poisonous oxygen.|Captain Olimar, an Hocotatian|the introductory [[Olimar's monologs|monolog]]}}{{cite quote|The creatures of this planet breathe a deadly poisonous gas: oxygen. At present, my space suit can filter the oxygen out, but if the batteries for my life-support system should fail... I shudder to think about it.|Captain Olimar, an Hocotatian|a miscellaneous [[Olimar's voyage log|voyage log]]}} so the concentration on Hocotate must be much lower.

The green and blue coloring of the planet in ''Hey! Pikmin'' likely indicates it is covered with plant life and water. However, what is seen on its surface indicates at least part of the planet is desert-like, though [[the President]] notes a location known as the "Hocotate Swamp".{{cite quote|I have a regrettable message. I have been caught. If I don't pay off the company debt right away, I'm to be buried in Hocotate Swamp. It's bleak here... Hurry!|The President|a [[Mail|letter]]}} [[Hocotate Freight]] appears to be in or near a built-up area, which suggests that at least some of Hocotate may be densely populated. Olimar's wife and son mentions "hot springs" in some [[Mail|letters]],{{cite quote|We received yet another special bonus! I've come to love you all anew! I decided to take the kids to the hot springs. We'll have enough fun for you too, so don't worry!|Olimar's wife|a letter}}{{cite quote|Papa! Thanks! There were so many cute girls at the hot springs! I was a little nervous, but I got over it. Next time, you totally have to come with us! We'll have so much fun!|Olimar's son|a letter}} indicating that geothermally heated water exists in the planet's crust. Olimar's family also mentions a beach,{{cite quote|Hey, hon! I'm on a solo vacation right now. Beach by day, theater at night. Ahhh, life is grand! And don't worry, the kids are in school every night until 10! Wheeeeee!|Olimar's wife|a letter}} suggesting that the planet has at least one ocean.

==Life==
[[File:Hocotate Plant.png|thumb|left|A plant growing near the Hocotate Freight sign.]]
The atmosphere of Hocotate is known to be different from PNF-404 and Koppai, as oxygen is known to be extremely poisonous to its dominant life form, the Hocotatian. The planet shows some signs of flora growing on its surface, including vegetables such as [[Pikpik carrots]], which the planet is famous for, according to [[Brittany]]. Also according to the Koppaites, a Hocotatian's diet consists mainly of vegetables, although meat consumption is not unusual.{{cite quote|Vegetables, fruit, meat... He'll eat anything. Incredibly adaptable...|[[Alph]]|a [[check-in]] conversation regarding [[Louie]]'s diet}} It is unknown what gases are used to cultivate these foods. These foods consist of the Hocotatian versions of potatoes,{{cite quote|{{notes:Emperor Bulblax/louie}}|[[Louie]]|his notes on the [[Emperor Bulblax]]}} avocados,{{cite quote|{{notes:Male Sheargrub/louie}}|[[Louie]]|his notes on the [[Male Sheargrub]]|rname=Male Sheargrub}} limes,{{cite quote|{{notes:Red Bulborb/louie}}|[[Louie]]|his notes on the [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]]|rname=Red Bulborb}}{{cite quote|{{notes:Decorated Cannon Beetle/louie}}|[[Louie]]|his notes on the [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]]}} and lemons{{cite quote|{{notes:Hairy Bulborb/louie}}|[[Louie]]|his notes on the [[Hairy Bulborb]]}} (for flavoring) as they're mentioned in [[Louie's notes|his cooking tips]]. Interestingly, these plants can be found as [[treasure]]s and [[fruit]]s on [[PNF-404]], although the food they're referring to is likely different from these. A fruit not found in ''Pikmin 3'' that Olimar mentions is tangerines, which he even says to be his favorite fruit.{{cite quote|{{notes:Tangerine Paste/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Tangerine Paste]]}} Mayonnaise also seems to be frequently used in Hocotatian meals,{{cite quote|We return from our mission successful in retrieving _ pieces of edible matter! We picked up a stray Hocotatian as well, so we're on our way to drop him off. He won't stop talking about adding something called "mayonnaise" to vegetables to make them taste good. It'll take another food crisis for me to find out if he's right. I hope I never see this "mayonnaise"...|[[Brittany]]|a [[Pikmin 3 Voyage Log|voyage log]]}} indicating that many other ingredients exist there as well. Olimar recognizing [[treasure]]s in the [[Sweet Tooth Series]] as sugary treats means that similar desserts must exist on his home planet. Supporting this, Louie mentions dark chocolate and applying sugar in another one of his notes.{{cite quote|{{notes:Shearwig/louie}}|[[Louie]]|Louie's notes on the [[Shearwig]]}} Olimar also misidentifies a metal nut for a "[[Metal Bagel]]" missing poppy seeds, meaning Hocotatian-sized bagels are common food there.{{cite quote|{{notes:Metal Bagel/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Metal Bagel]]}} Olimar even reveals in a log that Hocotate has an abundance of food, though this may just be in contrast to [[PNF-404]]'s and the [[Hey! Pikmin planet|''Hey! Pikmin'' planet]]'s food supplies.{{cite quote|{{notes:Elongated Crushblat/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Elongated Crushblat]]}}

[[Bulbie]], Olimar's pet, is known to be similar to a [[Bulborb]], and its species take on a role similar to Earthling dogs. [[The President]] mentions trees,{{cite quote|Today, I tried building a small room at the top of a tree.  It reminded me of my younger days, when I lived in a little shed.  Those memories help make this bearable.|[[The President]]|[[mail]]}} edible grass,{{cite quote|I found some tasty grass today.  It was the first time in a while that I could eat until I was full.  I've become one heck of a grass and root chef... Maybe I'll write a book.|[[The President]]|[[mail]]}} and wild animals, apparently covered with hair.{{cite quote|Some wild animals are nesting under the bridge now.  They think I'm their pal or something.  My stylish suits are covered with hair.  I'm pitiful... but at least they're warm...|[[The President]]|[[mail]]}} A few exotic green plants with twisting, vine like branches can be seen in ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} intro as well.

Louie hints that chickens,{{cite quote|{{notes:Mamuta/louie}}|[[Louie]]|his notes on the [[Mamuta]]}} pigs,{{cite quote|{{notes:Red Bulborb/louie}}|[[Louie]]|his notes on the [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]]|rname=Red Bulborb}}{{cite quote|{{notes:Fiery Dweevil/louie}}|[[Louie]]|his notes on the [[Fiery Dweevil]]}} and sheep{{cite quote|{{notes:Fiddlehead/louie}}|[[Louie]]|his notes on the [[Fiddlehead]]}} are life-forms on the planet that are regularly eaten. Cheese is also mentioned repeatedly,{{cite quote|{{notes:Greater Spotted Jellyfloat/louie}}|[[Louie]]|his notes on the [[Greater Spotted Jellyfloat]]}}{{cite quote|{{notes:Male Sheargrub/louie}}|[[Louie]]|his notes on the [[Male Sheargrub]]|rname=Male Sheargrub}}{{cite quote|{{notes:Snow Bulborb/louie}}|[[Louie]]|his notes on the [[Snow Bulborb]]}} indicating that dairy producing animals live there. Hocotatian bears seem to exist as well, based on the name of the [[Fossilized Ursidae]] and Olimar's notes on the [[Flying Spotted Jellyfloat]].{{cite quote|{{notes:Flying Spotted Jellyfloat/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Flying Spotted Jellyfloat]]}} Olimar mentions mice,{{cite quote|{{notes:Giant Rodent Skull/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Giant Rodent Skull]]}} as well as bothersome mosquitoes{{cite quote|This seems to be a gentle, flower-loving creature, but if angered, it is fierce. Its mighty open-handed smack... It reminds me of the time back home when a mosquito landed on my head, and my wife tried to get it...|[[Captain Olimar]]|a [[Olimar's voyage log|voyage log]] entry}} and flies{{cite quote|{{notes:Flysmacker/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|Olimar's notes on the [[Flysmacker]]}} that are regularly swatted off there. He also  mentions fish{{cite quote|{{notes:Container of Sea Bounty/journal}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Container of Sea Bounty]]}}{{cite quote|{{notes:Ultra-Sealed Aquarium/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Ultra-Sealed Aquarium]]}} and jellyfish,{{cite quote|{{notes:Greater Spotted Jellyfloat/olimar}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Greater Spotted Jellyfloat]]}} that likely live in Hocotate's visible oceans. Even carnivorous dinosaurs are said to have once roamed on Hocotate.{{cite quote|{{notes:Herbivore Molars/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Herbivore Molars]]|rname=Herbivore Molars}} It isn't completely clear if these creatures are from their own planet, or a different one. They still seem familiar to Hocotatians though, so it's safe to assume they're found on Hocotate.

Whether any of these life forms actually look like their counterparts on [[PNF-404|Earth]] or look wildly different is also unknown, given that Bulbie is mentioned to be a dog, yet is said to resemble a Bulborb more than a real-world dog.

===Hocotatians===
[[File:Olimarfam-Pres-Louie.jpg|thumb|200px|A variety of Hocotatians, including [[The President]], [[Louie]], and [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]].]]
'''Hocotatians''' are seemingly the dominant species of Hocotate. They are first referred to as "Hocotatians" in the [[Hocotate ship]]'s announcement of the [[Massive Receptacle Series]], and are called by this name frequently in {{p3}}. They are about the size of a nickel (~2cm, ~0.7in), and appear to be more advanced than humans, and have superior, or at least equal intelligence. They are capable of efficient extraterrestrial exploration and interaction, and use devices far beyond the current technology of humans. Their primary means of communication is speech, and they are able to read and write. It's also possible that they may be related to Koppaites because they share a similar appearance and either speak the same language or can understand each other's languages. On the logo for Hocotate Freight, the letters look very similar to the English alphabet. If Hocotatians and Koppaites can indeed speak the same language, [[Koppaite text]] may be an alternate form of writing that the Hocotatians do not use.

Hocotatians bare multiple resemblances to humans, including expressing human-like emotions. Physically, Hocotatians have a humanoid shape, the main differences being a larger head-to-body ratio, much larger noses, and different eyes. Their respiratory system also works differently from humans. While oxygen is one of the keys to human survival, it is incredibly toxic to the Hocotatians.{{cite quote|To make matters worse, my atmospheric sensors indicate this planet's environment contains high levels of <span style{{=}}"color: #aa0;">poisonous oxygen</span>.|[[Captain Olimar]]|[[Olimar's monologs|his monologs in ''Pikmin'']]}} Unfortunately, [[PNF-404]]'s atmosphere contains high amounts of oxygen, thus prohibiting its exploration without the aid of spacesuits.

[[File:Olimar walks Pikmin 1.png|thumb|left|150px|[[Captain Olimar]] walking.]]
Hocotatian eyes change shape to show emotions and to accommodate their normally-invisible eyebrows. In a "neutral" state, the pupil is heavily dilated and stretched horizontally, giving their eyes the appearance of being entirely black, which can make the eye look like it's closed. When surprised, the Hocotatian's pupils shrink and expose their irises, making them more closely resemble humans' eyes. This can be seen most notably with Louie in some [[cutscenes]] in {{p2}}: in the opening cutscene, when Louie sees the [[Shizakipiki Soda|souvenir]] and hears the [[Hocotate ship|ship]]'s analysis, as well as in the cutscene where he sees the first [[Red Pikmin]] sprout, his "normal" eyes can be seen, and his eyebrows pop out too. The ''Pikmin 2'' cutscene shown after completing the debt shows the pupil expanding gradually, instead of instantly. In the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Olimar's eyes will pop out when he is hit by a strong attack.

Some Hocotatians, mostly Olimar's family besides himself, often have curved eyes in arch shapes, displaying joy. The President is seen with a similar expression too, in the [[mail]] from ''Pikmin 2''. The near-opposite goes for sad emotions, wheres their eyes droop down like an upside-down arch.

{{clear}}

==Technology==
===Advanced technology===
Lots of the technology is shown to be very advanced, with particles such as {{w|gluon}}s in use (evidenced by the [[Gluon Drive]] ship part in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']]), a source of endless energy (the [[Eternal Fuel Dynamo]]), some sort of machine with the ability to control "parallel dimensions" (mentioned in the ship's dialog after collecting [[The Key]]{{cite quote|This object seems familiar. I will combine it with the president's parallel-dimension controller.|The [[Hocotate Ship]]|its dialog after collecting [[The Key]]}}) and a weapon that can destroy objects as large as stars (the [[Nova Blaster]]). Some of these mentioned ship part capabilities might be exaggerations, however.

===Science===
Many Hocotatians seem to study science, as Olimar mentions a scientific community throughout his notes.{{cite quote|{{notes:Insect Condo/sale}}|The [[Hocotate Ship]]|its pitch for the [[Insect Condo]]}}{{cite quote|{{notes:Man-at-Legs/olimar}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|Olimar's notes on the [[Man-at-Legs]]}}

In his notes on the [[Common Glowcap]], he mentions that the [[plant]]'s luminescence is caused by a chemical element called "Hocotatium 111" approaching critical mass. This implies that the plant is using {{w|nuclear fission}} to produce light. No element with an atomic mass of 111 is capable of sustaining a nuclear fission chain reaction, so the element is unrealistic.

Strangely, [[Olimar's notes]] in ''Pikmin 2'' say that the technology behind a light bulb (the [[Stellar Orb]]) and a match (the [[Flame of Tomorrow]]) is completely unknown to his people. This is probably a [[mistake]].

Some Hocotatians also seem to study in a degree of paleontology, the study of fossil remains and plants.{{cite quote|{{notes:Paleontology Series/series}}|The [[Hocotate ship]]|its announcement for the [[Paleontology Series]]}} This is later supported in ''Hey! Pikmin'', where Olimar mentions dinosaur remains.{{cite quote|{{Notes:Herbivore Molars/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Herbivore Molars]]|rname=Herbivore Molars}} It is not completely clear that there are paleontologists on Hocotate, or another planet. However, since all treasures in ''Pikmin 2'' are to be sold back on Hocotate, it is most likely that Hocotatian paleontologists are the audience they are targeting. A similar field of science is xenoarcheology, the study of extraterrestrial and alien remains. It is mentioned in ''Hey! Pikmin'', when Olimar finds remains that he mistakes for alien life on the [[Hey! Pikmin planet|planet in that game]].{{cite quote|{{Notes:Herbivore Molars/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Herbivore Molars]]|rname=Herbivore Molars}} This may suggest Hocotatians have explored other planets where they have found alien remnants. Botany also seems to be a study on Hocotate based on the ship's announcement for the [[Xenoflora Series]].{{cite quote|{{Notes:Xenoflora Series/series}}|The [[Hocotate ship]]|its announcement for the [[Xenoflora Series]]}}

===Transportation===
Hocotatians also have knowledge of some simple transportation, such as bicycles.{{cite quote|{{Notes:Ornamental Cycle/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Ornamental Cycle]]}} Another log reveals that Olimar has rode some kind of vehicle with his wife, although it is unclear what it is.{{cite quote|{{notes:Dual Wheeler/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Dual Wheeler]]}} However, it seems like the vehicle he is speaking of is a bicycle, as the seemingly two-wheeled treasure he picked up reminds him of the ride.

In another one of Olimar’s notes, he mentions a toy car, so it can be assumed that actual cars exist on Hocotate as well.{{cite quote|{{notes:Twisty Pick/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Twisty Pick]]}} Another treasure reminds Olimar of a jet with passenger seating, meaning that airplane flight is common there.{{cite quote|{{notes:Tiny Jumbo Jet/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Tiny Jumbo Jet]]}}

===Entertainment===
Along with the toy car mentioned previously, movies{{cite quote|{{notes:Metamorphocistern/heypikmin}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Metamorphocistern]]}} and video games{{cite quote|{{notes:Repair Juggernaut/journal}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|his notes on the [[Repair Juggernaut]]}} seem to be common things used for recreation. Additionally, nearly the entire [[Dream Series]] is meant to be sold to Hocotate as toys, such as the [[Favorite Gyro Block]], which is targeted for toy makers.{{cite quote|{{notes:Favorite Gyro Block/sale}}|The [[Hocotate Ship]]|its sales pitch for the [[Favorite Gyro Block]]}} It is likely there are factories that help produce these toys.

===Astrology===
Hocotatians also seem to believe in {{w|astrology}}, and in a similar way to humans on Earth, given that Olimar mentions the [[Libra]] star sign on its monolog.{{cite quote|I've found my Libra! My daughter gave this to me. It's named after her astrological sign.|[[Captain Olimar]]|his monolog after founding his [[Libra]]}} The name of the [[Sagittarius]] ship part also supports the existence of human-like astrology in Hocotate.

==Economy==
Hocotate is shown to be commercialized; it makes use of the [[Poko]], a small coin that resembles those from the [[mariowiki:Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]], as its currency. Items from [[PNF-404]] are considered extremely valuable [[treasure]]s worth a particularly large amount of Pokos, which enables Olimar and Louie to pay off their company's debt of 10,100 Pokos. (For comparison, 100 Pokos is "more than a year's salary", according to the President in the introduction cutscene of ''Pikmin 2''.) A mayor of Hocotate is alluded in [[Olimar's notes]] once, though his status in Hocotatian government is unknown.{{cite quote|{{notes:Pilgrim Bulb/journal}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|Olimar's notes on the [[Pilgrim Bulb]]}} The President also mentions that people from the government offices have kicked him out from under a bridge he was living under while he hiding from debt collectors.{{cite quote|Today, a group from the government offices paid me a visit. They kicked me out from under the bridge as if I were trash. The animals left... I have nowhere left to turn...|the President|a letter}}

There are several companies known on Hocotate, such as the Pilot Union. Not much is known about it, however Olimar mentions his boss as the head of the Pilot Union, somebody who orders people around. What relation this has to the President and Hocotate Freight, if any, is not known, nor if the union exists in the present day, considering Olimar uses the word "was" at one point when referring to the boss.{{cite quote|When I am surrounded by legions of Pikmin, I always picture the face of my boss, the head of Pilot Union. He was always so sharp-tongued with his orders, but I imagine he must have felt much the way that I do now. It's funny, how a change in perspective can bring with it a deeper understanding of others|Captain Olimar|Olimar's voyage log}} There is also a company called Hocotate Whiz that helps people switch jobs.{{cite quote|Would you like to find the new you? If you're thinking about changing jobs, let Hocotate Whiz do the work for you! See http://www.nintendo.com|***SPAM?***|spam mail}}

"Happy Hocotate Savings and Loan" is another Hocotate company with which [[the President]] attempts to take out a loan in ''Pikmin 2'' to cover for the lost shipment of [[golden Pikpik carrot]]s.{{cite quote|Baby steps first, Olimar! Plan well, and don't worry about me. Our debt is with Happy Hocotate Savings & Loan, after all. Besides, there's nothing left to repossess, so HA!|the [[President]]|a [[Mail|letter]]}} It is later revealed in one of his [[mail|letters]] to [[Olimar]] that, instead, he has accidentally taken out a loan with the shop just next door, the "All-Devouring Black Hole Loan Sharks", which forces him to go into hiding.{{cite quote|Olimar! Terrible news! I thought I went to Happy Hocotate Savings & Loan, but it seems my loan came from the shop next door: All-Devouring Black Hole Loan Sharks! Oops!|President|a letter}}{{cite quote|Olimar! You're my hero! You've erased half of our debt. Still, things have become a bit dangerous, so I'm going into hiding. Focus on work...and don't slack off!|President|a letter}}{{cite quote|Hello... I am still on the lam from debt collectors. For the time being, I've decided to live under the bridge, but if they catch me, I don't know what they'll do to me...|President|a letter}}

==Naming==
The name "Hocotate" actually comes from the address of Nintendo's Japanese headquarters: 11-1 Kamitoba Hokodate-cho. It has been pronounced in several official sources.
*In {{ssb4}} and {{ssbu}}, in Olimar's [[smashwiki:Palutena's Guidance|Palutena's Guidance]] conversation, [[smashwiki:Palutena|Palutena]] pronounces the planet's name /ˈhoʊkətɑːteɪ/ (HOE-kuh-tah-tay). However, ''Super Smash Bros.'' games are non-canon.
*[[Captain Charlie]] can be heard saying the planet's name in the ending [[cutscene]] of {{p3}}. Likewise, when [[Brittany]] collects the data file on the path to the [[Armored Mawdad]], the word Hocotate can be heard among the [[Koppaite language]] while reacting to Olimar's journal entry. However, in both cases the actual language heard being spoken by the characters is unknown.
*In {{p3}}{{'s}} [[Bingo Battle]], if the red team ([[Captain Olimar]]'s team) is one point away from winning, [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] will be heard in the background cheering for Hocotate, although it is unknown how faithful Pikmin sounds are to the pronunciation of certain words.
*In a [[trailer]] for {{hp}} it is pronounced /ˈhoʊkoʊtɑːteɪ/ (HOE-koe-tah-tay).{{cite youtube|iHGTVVLmxBI|of the Hey! PIKMIN Lift-Off Trailer}}
