Does Pikmin take place on a post-apocalypse Earth, or is it current

The former.

>>377172363
I thought it was an entirely different planet. But I guess Earth makes sense since all the fruits are the exact same as ours.

>>377172363
I thought Olimar and Co. are already from earth

>>377172854
Nigga, have you even played the games

>>377172363

Not to mention all the duracell batteries and shit littered all over the place.

not to mention all the product placement stuff from 2.

>>377172854
Olimar and co are from the planet Hocotate. Alph and co are from the planet Koppai

I'm surprised most people don't catch onto this quickly, but that's ok

Yes, it has been heavily hinted that the planet the Pikmin games take place on is indeed Earth. There are the same fruits, technology remnants, and of course Pikmin 2 and all of its advertising.

It doesn't seem to be "post-apocalyptic", though. There's no remnants of a war, just lightbulbs, tennis ball containers, and flip phones with pictures of ferrets. If there was an apocalypse, it must have happened a very long time ago, or it simply didn't happen, and humans just abandoned earth.

I like to think that it's the latter, and that humans left the planet peacefully. Unless cyborg spiders with machine guns are a dead giveaway that I'm ignoring.

Yep, I forgot about that. I'm just a retard

>>377172363
I feel like people are definitely not around anymore because of all the weird creatures that aren't in the real world.

There was also that one pikmin short where they were dismantling an entire excavator

Those Pikmin shorts were great
And I personally think the games take place on some sort of Earth where humans just up and left.

I think humans notice at least the mutant snake/bird hybrids though.

Imagine if you were just walking around and came across a Pikmin 1 sized Emperor Bulborb.
That fucker would be the size of a cat.
