In the first two games, PNF-404 is made out to look like present-day Earth. From space, PNF-404's geography appears to match that of Earth's, and the second game more clearly proves this, as when Olimar lands on or leaves the planet, his ship is shown to be heading towards or coming from Africa. The [[Hocotate ship]] even states at the time of the discovery of the [[Spherical Atlas]] that it exhibits PNF-404's geography as seen from space{{cite quote|{{Notes:Spherical Atlas/ship}}|The Hocotate ship|a dialog about the Spherical Atlas}}: both this and the [[Geographic Projection]] are two halves to a globe that clearly shows Earth and its countries. | In the first two games, PNF-404 is made out to look like present-day Earth.

''[[Pikmin 3]]'' seems to retcon that in favor of an entirely new look, with it being heavily based off of scientific hypotheses of how the Earth's surface would look like in 250 million years. Almost all of the game's levels are more composed of natural elements rather than man-made remnants, and the small amounts of evidence of humanity left are heavily deteriorated, more-so than in the earlier games, to justify that it has been millions of years after humanity. All of the fruits in the game are based on real fruit, however, many of them are found in places where they wouldn't be able to grow, or with other fruit that they aren't grown near. | ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' seems to retcon that in favor of an entirely new look, with it being heavily based off of scientific hypotheses of how the Earth's surface would look like in 250 million years, known as Pangaea Ultima.
