Talk:Hocotate
is the atmosphere carbon dioxide or methane? im not sure if the game ever tells you? Something more universal than a quarter needs to be used for size comparison. Discordance 09:36, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
"With such advanced technology, it is ironic that comparatively primitive human-made objects are considered valuable treasures." This statement seems a bit odd - surely it's just the same as us considering the relics of ancient civilizations to be valuable? -- Anon 12:10, 21 Feburary 2005 (EST AUS)
- Agreed. I found the irony worth mentioning, though...--Prezintenden
- Same here, what makes something valuable is not the object is make how rare it is.--User:WolfMark6 14:10, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
Treasure Value
I don't like the fact that the treasures are not valuable for Hocotatian people because of their old technology. If we find a caveman's ax, we put it in a museum, don't we?

- Already took it out.
However, the items are apparently sold not for their historical/sentimental value, but for their practical one. For example, Olimar marvels at the "unlimited" energy of a battery. It is valued for its "advanced" technology, though it is relatively primitive, making it ironic. However, in the way it is currently worded, it sounds to opinionated. I suggest we reword maybe.

- Some things just seem to be the Ship making claims to sell things for as high a price as possible such as the Danger Chime with the claim of being so good it will warn of danger present or not, and other things just seem to be naivety such as the belief that the Flame of Tomorrow can be a possible new clean energy source (Holocate has obviously never used fire as an energy source before).
- I do not know how to generalize that. --Yoshord 18:38, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Pronounciation
It's hɔkɵtɑteɪ (Hawk-Oh-Taught-Eh), right? ParadoxJuice 20:22, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Considering it's Japanese, I would have said Hoak-Oh-Tatt-Eh. Just an assumption, of course.--Prezintenden
