"The Ship is not seen or mentioned directly in Pikmin 4, although Schnauz recites various sales pitches from Pikmin 2, and says he has heard the pitch for the Cupid's Grenade somewhere before. It is said that a popular treasure naming AI was co-authored by a famous treasure appraiser, likely being Schnauz. Schnauz also says the Citrus Lump's shape reminds him of a colleague, and as Olimar says it resembles the President's head in PIkmin 2, it can be inferred that Schnauz and the President authored the Hocotate Ship's naming AI together."
From Pikipedia
Combine this with Frankenbug's head canon of Schnauz being divorced due to descriptions of treasures like the Refreshing Goo, it can be head canoned inferred that the reason the Hocotate Ship is a jerk to Olimar is because they are jealous of his stable home life and family and vent their frustrations onto him. In this essay I will

Those more techy than me will trim the video I’m sure, but the commentary over Lalo’s shower scene did NOT disappoint...Patrick asking them to pause here saying “look at that. look at that”, and then faux-casually asking “So...Tony in the shower...how many-how long-how was that, did it take a long time?” (stammering included for emphasis). This prompted a deserved chorus of cast/crew cat-calling including but not limited to: “another take!” “more soap!” “flick your hair back, tony!” and “lather that boy up”
Anyway. (x)

Developed Psychic Ability and Death
Psychics in The X-Files aren't born with their ability-- they develop it:
Luther Lee Boggs, Beyond the Sea
Meeting the souls of his victims before his near death.
Clyde Bruckman, Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose
Obsessing over the chance death of a celebrity.
Robert Modell, Pusher
Dying from a sudden, aggressive brain tumor.
Gerald Schnauz, Unruhe
Cracking under the pain of his sister's (and father's) death.
John Lee Roche, Paper Hearts
Creating a connection with Mulder through his dead victims.
Harold Spuller and his boss, Elegy
Impending death allows them to see the spirits of their bowling customers.
Linda Bowman, Kitsunegari
Her dying brother's abilities connecting to and awakening her own.
Philip Padgett, Milagro
Hyperfixating on Dr. Naciamento's death (ala Clyde Bruckman) and his confusion and displacement (ala Bruckman's psychotic foe.)
Mulder, The Sixth Extinction
Breaking down and dying because of the over acceleration of his brain via an alien "source of life" artifact (though not technically caused by death, it's tied into the mytharc which is tied to Gibson Praise which is tied to psychic ability. To be explored in the future.)
And lest she be forgotten:
Scully, Beyond the Sea/The Blessing Way/Elegy/A Christmas Carol/All Souls/Orison/Within/This Is Not Happening/etc.
Being faced with her father's posthumous spirit; and being visited by dying, dead, or returning souls.
The principle applies for Maggie and Melissa Scully as well, though we are not privy to the inciting incidents behind both of their abilities.
This pattern remains the same throughout the series... with the glaring exceptions of Gibson Praise and William. Those exceptions, however, are the lynchpins ("the key to everything", if you will) that illustrate the connection between psychic ability in human beings and their shared but repressed alien DNA.
(Meta coming soon.)
Thank you for reading~
Enjoy!
