**There is also the clear problem of time to factor in to Olimar's claims: there are no clues as to how Hocotatians measure time, whether this is in solar or sidereal measurements, and if so: how long is the Hocotate year? Hocotate may be very close to its local star, making a year very short in comparison to Earth, and thus subdivisions like months (and therefore monthly pay) also more feasible in terms of earnings.

*Pokos | *Pokos may be a reference to the {{w|Ryō}}, a type of ancient Japanese currency, that was set as an amount of gold that could buy rice for one person for one year. It too was an oblong gold coin and still represents the idea of wealth and prosperity. | ||
