Distant Planet is Earth.

Or a version of it anyway, as Oxygen is poisonous to Captain Olimar.

 

[KappaKooper]

Wow thanks for the information but please tell me where you read that oxygen is poisonous to olimar
I really want to know X_XU

It's kind of complicated. Although, never outright stated in the games, it is made pretty obvious that the Distant Planet is Earth. Olimar can't breath the air on the Distant Planet because it's poisonous. So, since the air is oxygen that means it must be poisonous to Olimar. Olimar is an alien, after all.

All true. and yes Distant Planet is supposed to be Earth, the "Proton AA" treasure in Pikmin, is actually a Duracell (yes brand name) AA battery.

And going into a more real setting, oxygen is poisonous to ALL living beings (it corrodes everything) even us Humans that need it to live.

He said it IN THE GAME.

To make matters worse, my atmospheric sensors indicate this planet's environment contains high levels of poisonous oxygen. My life support systems can function for only 30 days. If i can't repair the Dolphin by then... No! Better not to think about it. I must find the missing ship parts!

heres a video of the intro so you can read it yourself: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WMF5wOnVj90
Also in the cutscene after you collect every treasure in Pikmin 2 you can clearly see Australia: http://youtube.com/watch?v=4wkeLdbhUmY
EDIT: for those of you that don't want spoilers, (edit#2, better quality pic)

another edit: also how do you explain this treasure from Pikmin 2?
I'm sorry for getting all worked up about it but everywhere I go I hear people talking about this. There really shouldn't be a debate, it's obviously earth.
It's Earth guys.

 

[KappaKooper]

[IllidR]

OMG TIME PARADOX

 

[KappaKooper]

Why time paradox O_O?

Only Olimar has the brains to rule Lylat.

 

[Collective of Bears]

But if Pikmin takes place on Earth, why are there no humans?

 

[KappaKooper]

Olimar ruling everything FTW XD

Becuase thats the earth after the human extinsion by the Dewiells

 

[G-X]

That's the big question.

I think it has something to do with the Pellet Posies (they can't have evolved naturally with Arabic numerals on them...). Maybe they were created to feed mankind, but something went wrong and it turned out to eradicate mankind.

To add to the confusion, there are tiny walls in the Pikmin games; just large enough to block your pikmin, but it would be useless for humans... who built them? Why? And who built the Pikmin's onion-shaped UFO's? Maybe pikmin used to be intelligent, but de-evolved....

Then again, Pikmin was framed as an "it was all a dream.... or was it?" kind of story.

It's anyone's guess.

I only played the first one, but isnt Captin Olimar extremly small? So he wouldnt really notic them unless they crossed in that area.

He and the pikmin are the size of ants....

 

[KingDaniel]

Well, who says Jigglypuffs need oxygen?

Play Pikmin it tells you in the first ten minutes, it's even in the manual. But you are right he is wearing a space suit he just breathes ammonia or methane or something.

 

[heirware since 230bc]

Yeah Earth in the pikmin series has probably undergone vast changes. Either humanity has gone extinct for some reason that we can't explain, or he is simply too small for them to notice and olimar by chance doesn't stumble upon them. It doesn't really matter though. That's the point of the planet, because it's so familiar, yet weirdly alien at the same time.
