''"Treasure! Treasure! Treasure! Money! Money! Money!"'' — The Ship
''"Treasure! Treasure! Treasure! Money! Money! Money!"'' — The Ship


The '''[[Hocotate]] ship''' (usually called the '''Research Pod''') refers to Olimar's new rocket in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. Unlike the [[S. S. Dolphin]], the Hocotate ship is capable of speech, (replacing most of [[Olimar]]'s in game 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 [[Olimar's notes|notes]]. Once the [[President]]'s debt is repaid, the ship is upgraded in appearance.

When underground in [[cave]]s, the [[Hocotate Ship]] dispatches its nose cone, known as the '''Research Pod''', and sends it down to support [[Olimar]] and [[Louie]]/[[the President]] on their underground expedition. Anything that the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] pick up will be carried to the Pod and stored in its hull until the player exits the cavern. On leaving a cave via a [[geyser]], the treasure worth of these is added to the total.

If the player chooses to leave by selecting the option in the pause menu, the Pod will dispose of all [[Treasure Hoard|treasures]] and [[Piklopedia|creatures]] that were collected and return to the surface with the captains and Pikmin. This also happens automatically if all Pikmin die or both captains suffer too much damage, and cannot be stopped without resetting the game. The discarded treasures will be returned to the [[sublevel]]s they were found in.
