 The name "Hocotate" comes from Nintendo's headquarters' street address. The planet itself possesses a set of two intersecting planetary rings (which alone do not necessarily imply that Hocotate is a massive planet, as rings can form around smaller planets as well). In the opening scene of [[Pikmin 2]], Hocotate can be seen with two neighboring planetoids, likely moons. Stars are visible from the surface during the daytime, indicating a thin atmosphere. In a possible reference to urban Japan, a building resembling a capsule hotel is shown.
-Hocotatian people are around 3/4 in. (2cm) tall, about the size of a nickel. It it uncertain what sort of gas they breathe as a means of respiration, though oxygen gas is known to be extremely poisonous to them; Olimar and [[Louie]] must protect themselves while on the [[Planet of the Pikmin]] by wearing a spacesuit.

 The technology is very advanced, as even minuscule [[Wikipedia:Gluon|Gluon]] particles have been utilized (evidenced by the [[Gluon Drive]] part in [[Pikmin 1]]). This makes it ironic that comparatively primitive human-made objects are considered valuable.
