The President (Pikmin)

“	You found your first bit of treasure. Fine work! Our future depends on your efforts, so check your treasure hoard regularly. I'll check in often. Keep up the pace!	„
	~ The President's first email to Olimar and Louie

Background

The President is the owner or co-owner of Hocotate Freight and tritagonist of Pikmin 2, who was first mentioned in Pikmin by Olimar as simply "Boss". He runs into financial trouble after Louie, a new employee, shipping a supply of very valuable golden pikpik carrots, is reportedly attacked by a ravenous space bunny, who is said to have eaten the entire cargo of carrots. The President takes out a large loan to reimburse the loss of the golden pikpik carrots and has no way of repaying the enormous debt. He sells off the only company asset, Olimar's ship, the S.S Dolphin, in Olimar's absence, but it only makes a small dent in the enormous loan, as 10,100 pokos are still owed. It's only when the Hocotate Ship reveals the value of Olimar's souvenir from PNF-404 that he gets the idea to have Olimar and Louie return to the foreign planet in search of more treasure.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of The President’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Early Life When he was younger, the President used to live in a small shed. If what he claims is true, he used to be an important name back when he was Louie's age. In Pikmin, Olimar references him in various entries for ship parts and daily logs, in which he is simply referred to as "boss". Pikmin 2 He runs into financial trouble after Louie, a new employee, shipping a supply of the very valuable Golden Pikpik carrots, is reportedly attacked by a ravenous space bunny who is said to have devoured the entire cargo of carrots. The President takes out a large loan to reimburse the loss of the golden Pikpik carrots, and has no way of repaying the enormous debt. He sells off the only company asset, Captain Olimar's ship, the S.S. Dolphin, in Olimar's absence, but it only makes a small dent in the enormous loan, as  × 10,100 are still owed. This, occurring after the events of Pikmin, surprises Captain Olimar who just returned to Hocotate. He is so surprised by the news, in fact, that he drops a souvenir he brought back from his adventure for his son. The souvenir, a bottle cap, is collected by the ship, which then evaluates the item as a treasure and worth  × 100, reducing the debt to an even 10,000. The President then orders Olimar and Louie to recover more treasure so that the debt is repaid. During their absence, the President sends periodic letters to the duo. He eventually discovers that the loan came from the All-Devouring Black Hole Loan Sharks instead of Happy Hocotate Savings & Loan, and goes into hiding from the loan company's threats, temporarily living under a bridge, and eating grass to survive. Eventually, he gets caught, and is threatened with death. During the events of Pikmin 2's story, it is revealed that the President is over 50 years old. Given one must be over the age of 18 to both pilot any aircrafts and legally own a business, he must be at least 68 years old in age. Pikmin 3 At an unknown point after the events of Pikmin 2, the President squandered his newfound fortune on a failed business venture, consequently ordering Olimar and Louie to collect more treasure from PNF-404 to pay off Hocotate Freight's debts once again. He does not appear in person, having supposedly gone on vacation. Pikmin 3 Deluxe The President plays a minor role in the Side Stories mode. In it, he demands Olimar and Louie go back to PNF-404 at once to retrieve the Hocotate ship they had abandoned following the former's rescue from the Plasm Wraith. While not appearing directly, his correspondence provides hints for the player in the day select and loading screens and will also comment on the player's final score at the end of each level.

"Winged Pikmin are somewhat lacking in attack strength." "Winged Pikmin are aces in aerial combat." “ Pikmin! „ Background Pikmin are a plant-animal life-form first encountered by Captain Olimar when his ship crash-lands on an uncharted planet in Pikmin. The Pikmin are loyal to their leaders, although their criteria for deciding a leader is unclear. They come in a number of different types, each indicating a unique set of attributes that better suit them to different environments and tasks. Most Pikmin are 1.2 cm, from the top of the head to the feet, and have a vaguely humanoid shape, allowing them to walk, run, carry, and fight. Different types can have different shapes or sizes. Atop any Pikmin's head is a stem, topped with a leaf, bud, or flower, depending on their maturity. Captain Olimar was noted in Pikmin to wonder, a bit uneasily, why the Pikmin don't attack him, and he speculated that they might see him as a "parental figure". However, the Antenna Beetle being able to control Pikmin with its sound might prove that it is in fact the whistle that makes Pikmin non-aggressive. As of Pikmin 3 Deluxe however, it is implied by the various murals located around the globe that they view Olimar as a sort of higher deity who guides them, showing the relationship between Olimar and the Pikmin is one of loyalty. Biology Although each Pikmin species have different characteristics, most Pikmin have the same general appearance: a roughly humanoid body shape, two round eyes, two arms and two legs, two hands and two feet – each with three digits – and a tall stem on which a single leaf, bud, or five-petaled flower grows. Their limbs also serve as roots when buried in the ground. In fact, Olimar refers to their entire bodies, save the stems, as ambulatory root structures. The internal structures of Pikmin are a mystery, but certain things about them can be speculated. Since Pikmin never seem to eat anything, save nectar, they probably have a very simple digestive system, if any. As such, it is likely that Pikmin get a majority of their nutrients from food the Onions break down. Since the Onions are the center of Pikmin reproduction as well, it seems likely that Pikmin are incapable of sexual reproduction. However, in Pikmin, flowering Pikmin will sometimes drop seeds when slain in battle, allowing for new Pikmin to sprout in their place, suggesting that they may be able to reproduce asexually, but also that they do not have defined sexes and are hermaphrodites like many plants. Pikmin also have a skeletal system, as seen when electrocuted. These bones however are incredibly flexible to the point of allowing the Pikmin to act like rubber (Although they can be flattened and killed with enough force). Pikmin don't appear to have any sort of lungs (However, the Blue Pikmin are observed to have gill structures), but their leaves, buds, and flowers appear to serve as their main means of respiration, since poison gas or water droplets collecting around them suffocates the Pikmin; inversely, walking in shallow water in which their leaf/bud/flower does not touch (as seen in the Shower Room) is fine. When killed, Pikmin disappear and a ghost resembling the original Pikmin flies into the air, sometimes after releasing a liquid of the same color as the Pikmin, possibly the Pikmin equivalent to hemolymph or blood – this is best seen when the Cloaking Burrow-nit attacks. Pikmin start off as seeds ejected from the Onion, which, after landing on the ground, transform into sprouts. A leader must pluck a sprout so that the Pikmin may come out or alternatively have the Pluckaphone whistle blown at them to "inspire" them. While idle, the Pikmin's leaves and flowers glow that Pikmin's respective color; that, coupled with a cutscene at the end of Pikmin 2, would suggest that Pikmin are somehow bioluminescent, though what causes this and what function(s) it might serve in the wild have never been explained. Regular Pikmin are able to carry at least ten times their own weight, as evidenced by the ability of Blue Pikmin to lift and toss heavy Purple Pikmin when they are drowning in water and have even been shown to lift entire nuggets of gold roughly the size of the Pikmin. Pikmin are also capable of basic speech and can even be heard saying English phrases like "OK!", "Hi!", and "Yahoo!" after being plucked from the ground. When in a group they will sometimes sing parts of Ai no Uta in Pikmin 2. If left idle for a long time, Pikmin will moan at each other. From what is heard, it can be assumed that Pikmin language is very simple and primitive. Stages Pikmin can be divided into three stages. In the first of these, the Pikmin will have a leaf on their stem, which changes to a bud and then a flower as the stage increases. Leaf Pikmin are the slowest and least efficient at performing tasks, but as the stage goes up the movement speed and task efficiency increases. Along with that, Pikmin think more efficiently in both combat and task when in a higher stage as they sprout into their flower state when thinking of more elaborate plans. In some situations, Pikmin can also instantly mature from leaf to flower if threatened by immediate danger. After this point, they will remain matured for the duration of their lifespan unless reverted back to a prior state in battle. Pikmin can advance their current stage in several ways. The most common way is by being fed nectar. Alternatively, they may be left underground before being plucked, where they will gradually mature with time, or, in Pikmin 3, they can be sprayed. When knocked to the ground in battle in Pikmin and Pikmin 2, they have a chance of losing their maturity and decreasing in stage. They will never revert their current stage in Pikmin 3. In Pikmin, if a flower Pikmin is shaken off, it will revert to a bud, and the bud will revert to a leaf in the same scenario. In Pikmin 2, however, flower Pikmin revert to leaf Pikmin immediately. Like flower Pikmin, buds can be received when leaf Pikmin are allowed to stay in the ground for a certain amount of time.

They also are capable of forming elaborate plans to escape bottles and Blue Pikmin are intelligent enough to understand that their other brethren are drowning and will proceed to save them) Powers and Techniques Superhuman Speed, Acrobatics (Pikmin are very agile and should be more fit than the likes of Olimar), Small Size (Bug-Sized; Pikmin are about 2.9 centimeters, or 1.14 inches, from head-to-stem), Stealth Mastery (Due to their small size, Pikmin can easily hide in small areas), Passive Mind Manipulation and Light Manipulation (A Pikmin's stem can compel people to pull it thanks to its light, which then causes the person to become friendly with the Pikmin.

Upon being activated, a rock's fuse starts going down (represented by a colored wheel), and when it reaches zero, the bomb causes a violent explosion, capable of damaging enemies, Pikmin, leaders and some obstacles. In the first and third games, they can be carried by Pikmin, but only by Yellow Pikmin in the former. In Pikmin 2, they are much larger and serve as obstacles instead of tools, with the exception being on the 2-Player Battle stage Hostile Territory, where they can be picked up and thrown by leaders. They can also appear as items in 2-Player Battle and Bingo Battle. Other Standard Tactics: Pikmin are incredibly dependant on a leader for instructions in and out of battle. If left on their own, they will typically latch onto the opponent and begin attacking them repeatedly. Weaknesses: Aside from Bulbmin, every Pikmin either only resists one elemental type or none of them. Purples and Rocks resist no elemental types, and any Pikmin that's not a Blue Pikmin or Winged Pikmin can drown. Though if a Winged Pikmin does get caught off guard they can fall in the water and proceed to drown themselves. However this weakness can be avoided with the help of Blue Pikmin throwing them out of the water

Hocotate Ship Profile

Background The Hocotate ship refers to Olimar's new rocket in Pikmin 2. It is the President's ship and the first ship Hocotate Freight had, being part of the company since its very beginnings. Unlike the S.S. Dolphin, the Hocotate ship is capable of speech, replacing most of Olimar's in-game speech, and takes on the role of giving advice throughout the game. Olimar makes his opinion of its personality being pompous and quirky known in his notes. It sports two cockpits and a detachable pod, where its speaker is located. General Information Name: Hocotate Ship Origin: Pikmin Age: At least 50 (Has been used by the President since he founded the company) Classification: Delivery Spaceship Users: The President, Captain Olimar, and Louie Terrain: The universe Codex Statistics Tier: Unknown-D physically, 4-C with the Nova Blaster Cardinality: Finite Dimensionality: 3-D Attack Potency: Unknown: True level physically (The Hocotate Ship is designed to haul loads of items throughout space at high speeds), At least Star level (Buster) with the Nova Blaster (The Nova Blaster can create shockwaves that can reduce stars to bits) Durability: Unknown: True level (Scales to the S.S Dolphin which was able to briefly stay intact when hit by a comet before catching on fire upon atmospheric reentry. Scales to other ships such as the S.S Drake which survived a small explosion within orbit and crashing onto the surface of PNF-404 with no notable damage) Speed: Faster Than Light (The Hocotate Ship can travel 279,000 light years in seconds and beyond "super light speed". The Hocotate Ship is designed for intergalactic travel), Higher with the Chronos Reactor (The Chronos Reactor changes permutations in the space-time continuum into pure energy, allowing the S.S Dolphin to launch itself across the universe) Attack Speed: Faster Than Light with the Nova Blaster (The Nova Blaster creates shockwaves that travel in the currents of space-time, destroying anything in its path) Stamina: Likely Limitless with the Eternal Fuel Dynamo (Should have an Eternal Fuel Dynamo, which generates an unlimited amount of energy for the Hocotate Ship) Range: Below Average Melee physically, Complex Universal with the Chronos Reactor and Nova Blaster (The Chronos Reactor can warp the space-time continuum and the Nova Blaster travels through the currents of space-time), Multi-Universal with ship sensors (Its sensors can locate and interact with the Waterwraith's true form) Powers and Techniques Superhuman Speed, Spaceflight, Small Size (Bug-Sized; Although significantly taller than Olimar, it's still incredibly small), possibly Genius Intelligence (Although not shown, the S.S Dolphin should be no different than the Hocotate Ship's AI which can create physics-defying technology), Inorganic Physiology (Is a delivery spaceship with the potential consciousness of an AI), Information Analysis and Cosmic Awareness (Can scan anomalies such as the Waterwraith and was able to deduce and sense that its physical form was present in a separate dimension. The Guard Satellite can scan and detect threats incoming]. The Whimsical Radar scans nearby lost ship parts), Dimensional Storage (Can store dozens of treasures and packages in its hull like the Hocotate Ship), Teleportation (Upon being incapacitated in battle, the S.S Dolphin will teleport Olimar back to his cockpit regardless of where he is), Healing and Restoration (The S.S Dolphin can restore both Olimar and his suit to full health), Radiation Manipulation (The Radiation Canopy can transform and nullify space radiation), Light Manipulation (Nova blaster is stated to emit a dazzling burst of light), Electricity Generation and Sunlight Absorption (Can generate an infinite amount of electricty with the Eternal Fuel Dynamo. The Positron Generator absorbs solar cells to generate electricty to power the ship's interior components), Limited Purification (Can filter out toxins to prevent pollution with the Anti-Dioxin Filter), Gravity Manipulation (The Gravity Jumper manipulates gravity, allowing for easier takeoff and reentry on various planets), Gluon Manipulation (The Gluon Drive is stated to metaphysically bind gluons to travel through space), Regeneration and Restoration (High-Mid. The Repair-Type Bolt can repair anything in the ship, including the engine. The S.S Dolphin can rebuild itself from damaged remains of over a dozen parts. The S.S Dolphin can restore its components to their rightful positions in functioning order), Space-Time Manipulation, Light Manipulation, and Shockwave Generation (The Nova Blaster fires a beam of dazzling light that can send shockwaves through space-time), Reality Warping, Transmutation, and Velocity Manipulation (The Chronos Reactor warps the space-time continuum, changing permutations in the space-time continuum to allow the S.S Dolphin to launch itself across the universes). Resistance to Cosmic Radiations, Gravity Manipulation, and Biological Manipulation (Can survive and traverse in the vacuum of space for several days. The Radiation Canopy can transform and nullify space radiation), Space-Time Manipulation, and Reality Warping (Should be unaffected by its own weaponry which warps all of space and time) Other Weaknesses: Despite its incredibly powerful weaponry, the Hocotate Ship seems to lack any defensive shields or barriers to protect itself from danger

	Boulders	Makes several boulders drop near the opponent.
	Volatile Dweevil	Drops a Volatile Dweevil near the opponent.
	Fiery/Watery Blowhog	Makes a Blowhog appear near the opponent's Onion. If the opponent is Louie, a Fiery Blowhog will appear. If the opponent is Olimar, a Watery Blowhog appears instead.

Icon	Name	Description
	+10 Pikmin	Makes the user's Onion generate ten of the player's starting Pikmin.
	+5 Rare Pikmin	Makes the user's Onion spawn five of the type of Pikmin the player did not start with. This item is not available on maps that only have one type of Pikmin.
	Lightning	Strikes opponents and their nearby non-Yellow Pikmin with an immobilizing current of lightning. Like all electric hazards in Pikmin 3/Pikmin 3 Deluxe, it simply immobilizes them, and proves no direct harm to the Pikmin.
	Lucky Marble	Acts the same as if collecting a Lucky Marble.
	Rock Storm	Causes four large boulders to fall near where the opponent's leader is standing, killing any non-Rock Pikmin. It's harder to dodge these boulders than their Pikmin 2 counterparts. A leader can escape intact if they are always moving throughout the storm. If the player knows that the strike is incoming, they can dismiss their Pikmin to minimize the death toll. These boulders can also harm leaders and Pikmin from the team that spawned them, as well as Pikmin that are shocked on the floor.
	Ultra-spicy spray	Instantly makes the player's Pikmin gain the effects of an Ultra-spicy spray.
	Enemy Annihilator	Kills all on-screen enemies.
	Bomb	Causes a bomb rock to spawn in front of the player's leader.
	Shuffle	Scrambles the opponent's bingo card. Although rare, it's possible that the items will be shuffled in a way that triggers a victory for the opponent.
	Mine	Spawns a mine in front of the active leader. Pikmin can carry these, just like bomb rocks. When the Pikmin is thrown, the mine sticks to wherever the Pikmin hits, and will only detonate when a leader walks by.
	Warp	Teleports the opponent to a random area on the map, along with any Pikmin in their current squad.
	Macaroon Recovery	Transports the player's macaroon back to their Onion, even if it is already nearby.

Notable Techniques

• Whistle: The whistle is a main part of the gameplay in the Pikmin games. It is the primary way of calling idle Pikmin and leaders over onto the active leader's group, the secondary way being the active leader bumping into them. Whistling can also be used to instantly rescue Pikmin who are under the effects of certain hazards, or Pikmin trapped by special enemy attacks. Throughout the series, the whistle has been modified and repurposed for multiple different techniques.
  • Call: By blowing the whistle for an extended period of time, any idol Pikmin or captains will be alerted and fall into line next to the captain issuing the command.
  • Dismiss: Using the dismiss signal alerts any Pikmin and captains following the current captain to separate into idol groups for further action.
  • Charge: The swarm command plays a sound equivalent to a blow horn which signals any active Pikmin groups in the captain's party to charge a targetted objective.
  • Swarm: The swarm technique directs any and all Pikmin in the captain's current troop to fall in on an objective in quick succession.

• Whistle Upgrades:
  • The Mega Tweeter: The Mega Tweeter is obtained by defeating the Ranging Bloyster in the Shower Room and collecting the Amplified Amplifier. This upgrade increases the range of the whistles of all captains. The diameter of the visible circle projected on the ground increases to about 144% of its original size, thus more than doubling the area the whistle affects. This makes it easier to call scattered Pikmin to the captain's side, even when being slow in the Onions.
  • Pluckaphone: The Pluckaphone is obtained by defeating the Waterwraith in the Submerged Castle and collecting the Professional Noisemaker. It is an upgrade that allows the captain' whistles to call buried Pikmin out from the ground, saving precious time that would otherwise be spent plucking them out. As well as picking newly produced Pikmin at the Onions, this is useful for calling out Pikmin that were planted by wildlife in battle.
  • Dodge Roll: The Dodge Whistle can be found on a small cliff a short distance away from the exit to the Vehemoth Phosbat cave. It is an upgrade that allows captains to dodge left or right, guiding the Pikmin to do the same. It is done in a straight line normally, or in an arc around a locked-on target.

• Throw: A standard technique which involves throwing a captain or Pikmin at an objective. This technique is used primarily to launch Pikmin at foes from a distance with risking as many casualties, at the risk of only being to throw one Pikmin at a time. All Pikmin have varying effects and different abilities in combat that allow them to stand out from their fellow speciemen.
  • Red Pikmin: Red Pikmin are the first Pikmin discovered in each of the three Pikmin games. They possess a standard throwing arc with average range. Due to their 1.5 times increased damage output, they are ideal for combat.
  • Yellow Pikmin: Yellow Pikmin are typically the second Pikmin discovered throughout the games (The exception being Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe). Due to their lighter body weight, they have the highest throwing arc in the series, and can easily reach most airborne enemies.
  • Blue Pikmin: Blue Pikmin are the last Pikmin species discovered in the games (Mainly due to their aquatic diversity). Thanks to their gills, Blue Pikmin excel both on land, and underwater, making them perfect for exploring in submerged areas without risk of drowning.
  • Purple Pikmin: Purple Pikmin are one of three Pikmin species discovered in the caves of Pikmin 2, and the first to be discovered. Their heavy weight and strength of ten regular Pikmin make them deadly warriors. Thanks to their weight, Purple Pikmin have the shortest throwing distance, but can create powerful shockwaves on impact with a solid surface.
  • White Pikmin: White Pikmin are one of three Pikmin species discovered in the caves of Pikmin 2 and are the second species to be found by Olimar and Louie. Their light bodies and small size allow them to be thrown the furthest. To add on, consumed White Pikmin can poison targets, instantly killing them.
  • Bulbmin: Bulbmin are one of three Pikmin species discovered in the caves of Pikmin 2 and are the final species to be discovered. Bulbmin are unique in that they possess the body of a juvenile bulborb, allowing to resist most elemtal hazards.
  • Rock Pikmin: Rock Pikmin are the second species of Pikmin to be discovered by the Koppaites in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Their rocky physiology gives them the most unique attack of all Pikmin, as throwing them does not latch them on to targets, but instead strike the target before bouncing off a short a distance.
  • Winged Pikmin: Winged Pikmin are the fourth species of Pikmin to be discovered by the Koppaites in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe, and the final new species. Their ability to fly makes Winged Pikmin the most capable aerial warriors of the Pikmin species. When thrown, they can latch onto targets, or home in on them when flying. The Winged Pikmin's biggest droback is its weaker attack output.

Other

Standard Tactics: The President will typically scan his surroundings with his radars (With his KoPad as of Pikmin 3 Deluxe) and approach an opponent with caution before tactically commanding his Pikmin army to attack the opponent, whilst also using sprays to better his chances at victory.

Weaknesses: Must wear a spacesuit while on unknown planets. He mainly relies on his Pikmin to get work done, although the President's decades of expierience means her can likely fend off for himself without much difficulty.
