[Reacting to the “Close to You” video] In Pikmin 4 Ask the Developer, Miyamoto-san literally said:
ピクミンは、あなたの近くにいるよ
(Pikmin are close to you)
The official English transcript is “Pikmin are all around us” instead, because it was translated idiomatically instead of literally.
Also, it is canon that Pikmin “cannot be seen with the naked eye”, as stated on the official Pikmin Bloom site.
