The '''planet''' that [[Olimar]] lands on, in both [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]] and [[Pikmin 2]], is the habitat of [[Pikmin (species)]] and their many enemies. The planet is known as the '''planet of the Pikmin''' or the '''Pikmin planet'''. The planet is shown to be Earth, whether or not it is our Earth or an alternate version is yet to be revealed in the games. Tin cans can be found lying around in the first game, and all the 'treasures' found in the second game are human made or Earth plants. It is unknown if there is still a human presence on the planet. The Pikmin story could take place after the extinction of humans.  However, since Pikmin 2's areas are the same as Pikmin 1's, and there are new human objects, it is likey that they exist. Olimar cannot breath because oxygen is poisonous to him.
The '''planet''' that [[Olimar]] lands on, in both [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]] and [[Pikmin 2]], is the natural habitat of [[Pikmin (species)]] as well as many other lifeforms some of which are predators or prey of the Pikmin. The planet is known as the '''planet of the Pikmin''' or the '''Pikmin planet'''. The planet is shown to be Earth, or at least a very Earth-like planet with similar geography, whether or not it is our Earth or an alternate version is yet to be revealed in the games or by Shigeru Miyamoto, the game's creator. Tin cans as well as many other man-made objects & structures from modern times can be found lying around in the first game (i.e. parts of the areas the [[Perplexing Pool]] and [[The Distant Spring]] appear to be the remains of a bathroom), and all the 'treasures' found in the second game are human made or Earth plants. It is unknown if there is still a human presence on the planet. The Pikmin story might take place some time after the extinction of humans.  However, since Pikmin 2's areas are the same as Pikmin 1's, and there are new human objects, it is likely that they exist.

Shigeru Miyamoto has stated, that the setting is Africa, on a microscopic scale. (I think it was from a old issue of Nintendo Power, or Wikipedia). It was also seen on the second game when Olimar landed or left the planet that the ship was heading to or coming from Africa. Most of the planet's geography has been shown and matches Earth's, The Ship even states when they find the [[Spherical Atlas]] that it shows the planet's geography as seen from space; both the [[Spherical Atlas]] and the [[Geographic Projection]] are two halves to a globe that clearly shows Earth and its countries.

In [[Pikmin (game)|the first Pikmin game]] Olimar crash lands on this uncharted planet during his vacation after [[S.S. Dolphin|his ship]] is struck by an asteroid; Olimar must escape the planet before his life support system fails because the atmosphere is composed largely of oxygen which is toxic to Olimar's people.

It was also seen on the second game when Olimar landed or left the planet that the ship was heading to or coming from Africa. Most of the planets geography has been shown and matches Earth's, The Ship even states when they find the [[Spherical Atlas]] (the top half of an Earth globe) that it shows the planet's geography as seen from space.
In [[Pikmin 2]] Olimar returns to the planet with his new companion, [[Louie]] in search of treasure in order to rescue the company he works for, [[Hocotate Freight]], from bankruptcy.
