==The Planet as Earth==
==The Planet as Earth==
Although ambiguous, the Pikmin planet is at least very Earth-like with similar geography. It is unknown if there is still a human presence on the planet at the time of the Pikmin story; it may take place some time after a human exodus from the planet, or even the extinction of humans. Since ''Pikmin 2's'' areas are comparable to those in its prequel, and there are new human objects, the only possible explanations are that man exists, or the items were blown into the areas from other places while Olimar was away.
Although ambiguous, the Pikmin planet is at least very Earth-like with similar geography. In an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, he states that the Planet of the Pikmin is in a state where humans are extinct. This explains why no human life-forms are encountered during the entire duration of the game. ''Pikmin 2's'' areas are comparable to those in its prequel, and there are new human objects. which can only be described as remnants of society before humans died out.


Whether or not the Pikmin planet actually is our [[wikipedia:Earth|Earth]] or an alternate version is yet to be revealed in the games or by Shigeru Miyamoto, the game's creator; either way, it is doubtful that the similarities are coincidental. Tin cans as well as many other man-made objects and structures from modern times can be found lying around in the first game (for example, parts of [[Perplexing Pool]] and [[The Distant Spring]] appear to be the remains of a bathroom), and most of the '[[Treasure Hoard|treasures]]' found in the second game are man-made or objects natural to Earth. These even include many items that are registered trademarks of existing companies.
