Pikmin 4 Planet Generalizations
I added this to the big Pikmin 4 Character Trivia post, but I know most people aren't going to be checking for updates on that (btw, there's been a few, so check that out if you're interested).
These are observations I've made about similarities between castaways from the same planet. Since Pikmin has made a habit of saying that certain traits are inherent to specific races/planets, such as the Koppaites' inability to plan and being picky eaters and the Hocotatians' preference for vegetables and seeking treasure, it may be safe to say that similarities found between castaways from the same planet might be reflective of their respective races.
However, this is all speculative on my part. Do not take any of the following as fact.
I also haven't included any castaways/planets where there was only 1 castaway to get info from since unless they explicitly said so, there's no way to determine what traits are theirs and what could be attributed to their race/culture. Info like that would be a part of the main trivia post.
Sozor (Dalmo, Grace, Horatio)
Have anti-social personalities. Dalmo prefers creatures to people, Grace seems disinterested in society as a whole, and Horatio is inept at social interactions (compared to other castaways).
Flukuey (Jin, Molly, Dash, Patch)
Have unstable professions and/or are adventure seekers. Jin is an explorer, Molly is a streamer of limited success, Dash is a spelunker from a well off-family, and Patch is unemployed but purposefully puts himself in dangerous situations for the thrill.
Ooji (Francois, Kingsly)
Love flowers/plant life. Francois studies plant-life, and Kingsly is a florist. Given that Ooji is also said to have "lush jungles," flora may be very important to everyday life on the planet.
Koodgio (Lapi, Boris)
Artistic types. Lapi is a painter and Boris is an author.
Siguray (Shnauz, Kit, Osa)
Interested in the qualities and history of materials and items. Shnauz appraises treasure, Kit is interested in minerals, and Osa is interested in archeology.
The following are castaways where it's difficult to determine if their similar traits would be found in their race due to other factors:
Ogura (Sy, Pitunia)
Both are interested in studying the onion and their environmental factors surrounding it, but both are also a part of the Research Task Force, a group made of individuals that are interested in studying the planet in general, so it's hard to say if this would be something inherent to all Ogurains, or if they just happen to have a mutual interest in this area of study.
Enohee (Ren, Frise, Muggs, Wolfgang)
3 of the 4 are a part of the same TV crew, so would have common interests by default. Arguably all 4 are interested in entertainment as Ren was on a cooking show, so TV might be a very important industry to Enohee.
Neechki (Kaia, Sheeba, Keesh, Mika, Chewy)
4 of the 5 are in the same club and would have similar interests by default (and even then, Mika admits that she knows very little about planetary science), and Chewy has little in common with the rest of them. However, Chewy notes that Sheeba also resembles her boss, so it's possible that the "small" body type is very common (but not exclusive) to Neechikians.
Nijo (Santi, Bernard)
Both became pilots and were prone to changing jobs frequently, but their "Dynamic Duo" shtick of always being a part of each other's lives is played as a joke, so their similar lives/interests may not have anything to do with their race/culture.
Planets where I couldn't identify a common thread:
Enohay (Puddle, Vonda, Bernise)
I would have said creative/artistic fields due to Puddle being a stylist and Vonda being a singer, but I don't think a fortune-teller really falls under that umbrella. Perhaps they're all "dramatic"?
Conohan (Twyla, Chowder, Alpin, Fawks, Beaux)
They all have different professions and interests, two are siblings, and none have especially similar personality traits. In a sense, I suppose this would imply that Conohan is a very diverse planet.
Ohri (Yonny, Dingo)
Neither seems to have much in common with the other aside from being in the Rescue Corps.
Giya (Shepherd, Collin, Russ)
Another diverse group of only rescue officers. However, given the stark difference between Collin's and Russ's financial situations, there are implications that Giya has significant class inequality.

(Tiny footsteps pass by Kingsly's quarters. Distinctly... Pikmin-like footsteps. But how? We've taken off, haven't we?)

Huh? What was... A pikmin? Wait, I thought we said goodbye to them.
[He rubbed his eyes. It had to have been a trick of the light, right?]
