Its exact location in the universe has yet to be specified, though it most likely takes place in another [[Wikipedia:Star system|star system]] to ours as an incredibly bright star can be seen behind it. In Olimar's [[Olimar's Voyage Log|Ship Log]], he explains that his family is probably gazing up at the planet's "pale red moon". Stars are visible from the planet's surface during the daytime, indicating a thin atmosphere. As Hocotatians find oxygen gas poisonous, there must be little or no oxygen in this atmosphere. | ||

From what can be seen, at least part of the planet is desert-like, though the [[President]] notes a location known as the "Hocotate Swamp". The planet shows some signs of flora growing on its surface, including vegetables ([[Pikpik carrots]] for example). [[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 mentions 'hot springs' in one of her [[Mail|e-mails]], indicating that geothermally heated water exists in the planets crust. Olimar's family also mentions a beach, suggesting that the planet has at least one ocean. | From what can be seen, at least part of the planet is desert-like, though the [[President]] notes a location known as the "Hocotate Swamp".
