-The '''Poko''' is the currency used on [[Captain Olimar|Olimar's]] home planet, [[Hocotate]]. Pokos were officially introduced in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''; the plot concerned them. Olimar and [[Louie]] are tasked with obtaining {{Pokos|10,000}} to repay [[Hocotate Freight]]'s debt, that manages this by selling [[treasure]]s found by the two explorers while on the [[PNF-404|planet of the Pikmin]]. In comparison, {{Pokos|100}} is more than a year's wage for a Hocotatian. Pokos are oval-shaped, thin, and made of some sort of golden colored material.
+The '''Poko''' is the currency used on [[Captain Olimar|Olimar's]] home planet, [[Hocotate]]. Pokos were officially introduced in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' as an important part of the plot. Olimar and [[Louie]] are tasked with obtaining {{Pokos|10,000}} to repay [[Hocotate Freight]]'s debt, which is made possible by selling [[treasure]]s and [[enemy]] corpses found by the two explorers while on the [[PNF-404|planet of the Pikmin]]. In comparison, {{Pokos|100}} is more than a year's wage for a Hocotatian. Pokos are oval-shaped, thin, and made of some sort of golden colored material.
-In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'''s [[Collect treasure!]] stages, a [[HUD|counter]] at the top of the screen shows an icon quite similar to that of a Poko.
+Throughout their adventure, Olimar and his partner can task [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to pick up and [[carry]] treasures into the [[Hocotate ship]] or the [[Research Pod]]. When a treasure is successfully recovered, it is analyzed by the ship, and is given a value in Pokos. In the overworld [[area]]s, recovered treasures are added to the Poko count instantly, and enemy corpses can only be delivered to the [[Onion]]s to increase Pikmin population. But in caves, enemies can be brought to the Research Pod to exchange for a small amount of Pokos, and any amount of money gathered while inside a cave will only be added to the total if the cave is exited via a [[geyser]]. Otherwise, the collected objects are left behind in order to allow the Pikmin and leaders to escape.
+Although not related to the game's story, Pokos also play a role in ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], as part of the scoring system. Despite Pokos never being mentioned by name in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the game's [[Collect Treasure!]] stages have a point [[HUD|counter]] at the top of the screen that shows an icon quite similar to that of a Poko.
