Plot
After the events of Pikmin 4, Olimar and Louie return home, to Hocotate. Approximately a year later, Hocotate and Koppai become overpopulated, and the company president decides to use the predicament to make a lot of pokos. He assembles Olimar, Louie, and Olimar's wife, son, and daughter and goes with them to PNF-404 to build a space colony for the growing population. Along the way, they encounter a mysterious group that they later discover to be plotting to use an ancient device to take over the universe. The captains and their Pikmin must stop the mysterious group and find out the true history of PNF-404 in the process.
