Four years after the events of Pikmin 2, The President of the Hocatate Freight Co. has spent billions and billions to create a new device that will shrink anything, no matter how massive, to an extremely small size. To do this, sadly, The President built up a massive debt, and the deadline for repayment is closer than expected. Olimar and Louie are then called to return to PNF-404 to find more treasures from the planet, and to repay the debt once again. When the group arrives at PNF-404's orbit, a strange magnetic feild pulls the Hocatate Ship into the atmosphere at an alarmingly fast rate, and peices of Olimar and Louies suit are scattered throughout the planet. Unable to leave the planets orbit due to the magnetic feild, Olimar and Louie set out on their biggest, yet pocket-sized adventure yet! If you want to help us out in anyway (such as join our team or give us ideas) message any of us on Moddb.
This took me longer than the other sprites since I kept messing up the overall layout of the ship (one of the earlier designs looked like penis dog).
Anyways, here is a not yet animated Hocotate ship
"The Hocotate Ship refers to the Hocotate Freight company's rocket which Captain Olimar pilots in Pikmin 2. Unlike the S.S. Dolphin, the Hocotate ship is capable of 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" -Pikmin WIKI
As of the time writing this, I am working on animating this and making the research pod.
Sweet
read the description it gets sweeter.
Hint:look at the last part of the first paragraph
