Pikmin is hardly a gem. It's a very mainstream, successful, and high quality gaming series.

'Gem' is usually used to refer to something underrated, or small but very high quality that few people know about. Pikmin is high quality but well known, it's a mainstream successful series.

>Pikmin is high quality but well known, it's a mainstream successful series.

By the standards of Nintendo games it is basically off the radar completely hidden in a ditch on Svalbard. The only reason there has been more than 1 game is because it is Miyamoto's personal pet project that he finds cute.

>This loathsome creature is in fact a parasitic form of Pikmin that has infected a bulborb. Unlike Pikmin that nest in Pikmin Onions, this parasitic relative spends its life inside the body of a host, usually a bulborb. Juveniles fall in line and mimic the actions of their parent until maturing to full independence. By burying its rootlike limbs into the nervous system of the host bulborb and infusing it with natural hormonal excretions, the bulbmin is able to control virtually all of the host's bodily functions. However, the host's voracious appetite seems impossible to suppress

Should I just jump into 2?

>>376346767
Casual as fuck. I beat Pikmin 1 when I was 7 years old. The time limit is a major part of the game design and isn't even that tough to beat. Just play the thing. You shouldn't touch 2 until finishing 1.

>>376346767
I'd say 2 is equally difficult but for different reasons. Either way your game will be a lot longer if you don't have some of the time management skills of Pikmin 1.

The time limit shouldn't be a problem. It scared me too when I first played but you can beat the game within the time limit easy. You might not get every part the first time but you will be able to complete the game. Then you can play a second time to 100% it since you know where most of the parts are and how to get them

Shit like this is why I was so peeved with Pikmin 3 not having it, like why the fuck didn't they include the Piklopedia? It had so much cool little info in it.

>>376350494
Gonna have to disagree familia. Pikmin 3 is harder than Pikmin 2 if only because Purple Pikmin make 2 a cakewalk. You can pretty much demolish any enemy with purples before they even have time to react.

I also think Rock and Pink Pikmin fit Pikmin 3 better since white and purples can only be found in caves.

On the topic of caves, while they do make the game longer, they also pad the game out and are kinda repetitive and samey looking at times.

The mission mode in 3 is also excellent and actually requires strategy to master and can add a load of replay value.

Overall all 3 really was missing was the piklopedia. If 4 adds that and is still a bit longer then we're golden.

Combat wise purple for stunning enemies. Resource gather wise is defiantly flying since they can get past most obstacles.

>>376355957
I always do 0 death runs of 2 whenever I replay it now, but I usually gotta resort to savescumming when it comes to shit like the bombrock enemies. It's not out of a sense of accomplishment, I just feel bad knowing that when they die I have the ability to time travel and prevent it. I don't really bother with 1 and 3 because of shit like the Snagret trio and Emperor Bulblax and the Quaggled Mireclops.

Pikmin is my favorite game series of all time, there's always been so much I've wanted to discuss about the game but no one I've ever come across seems to have played them. Seeing Pikmin threads where you fags joke and complain about the same shit I did when i was playing them makes me feel cozy.

>>376361861

I feel bad because pikmin 1 was one of my favorite games, and I never appreciated pikmin 2 or even played pikmin 3, but I really want a series as solid as it to be my 'favorite'.

>>376361949
Personally 2 is my favorite, but I can see liking 1 over it. They more or less tried to take a different approach to the appeal of the series in 2 vs 1. The goal of one was micromanaging and time constraints, but i think they realized they couldn't quite make the game they wanted with their current tech or experience. They strayed away from those aspects in 2 and made it more about adventure and exploration, which i liked more as a kid. So many different levels, absurd enemy variety, always new treasure to find... It was magical. When they made 3 i feel like it was their attempt to create what they had originally planned to make with the first game. They returned to time limits, and time management and i think it worked great. Rather than just controlling Olimar, you had 3 captains to work with, and the levels often had roadblocks with times to clear so you'd have multiple projects going at once. Alas, i agree with everyone when they say it was too short.

>>376361949
My favorite was 2, I like 1 but with 2 I can just sit back and mess around.

I'd like to see rival captains, a couple of shady assholes trying to raise their own Pikmin to accomplish immoral shit and basically using them for slave labor. There would be scripted encounters with them, or maybe even RNG based circumstances deciding on whether they will be in a certain area on a certain day, where your Pikmin army would clash with theirs. Maybe the plot could focus on the attempted colonization of the planet, with the good guys trying to set up unobtrusive habitats in balance with the Pikmin and local wildlife, and the bad guys basically being a corrupt terraforming corporation like Weyland-Yutani, who want to industrialize and exploit the planet's creatures and resources. The outcome of the story would depend on how successful your colony becomes and whether or not you're able to defeat the bad guys and free their Pikmin. Maybe that's too complex a narrative for such a lighthearted franchise, though.

>>376349372
I mean, Pikmin 3's mission mode has coop. Not a full game but it is fun.

Do you think Olimar fantasizes about sticking Pikmin up his dick hole?

>>376362953
It would be bitchin' to have Captain rival fights.
I really liked the Scornet Maestro fight from 3, and that was sorta like one.

I see a few of you are scared of no death runs, I've beaten all games without deaths without much trouble. Took a few replays to figure out patterns and stuff, of course. Which enemies scare you guys?

>>376363172
If so then the only ones that are safe are blue and flying. Red would burn is dick, electric would shock it, white would poison it, purple wouldn't fit and rock would just hurt.

>>376364131
People moved on, it seems. There's traces of people but nothing of war or violence. Maybe the planet had some kind of temperature event that wiped out people, and it's been so long they've faded away.
Or they just left and this is an Earth that was abandoned long ago. Or the plasm wraith family is related to the planet's disarray.

Waterwraith is spooky. It's actually in an alternate dimension.

Why do I find this series to be genuinely terrifying whenever I sit down and think about it. Maybe it's because so many of the enemies are so...natural in how they live and survive. But the sheer concept of the series seems to invoke scares in me.

Yeah. The way the bulborbs and other things just eat whatever comes their way seems unsettling to me. My only problem is that we never see the other lifeforms interacting with each other. Say like a bulborb trying to eat a snitchbug or water dumples dragging an unwitting dwarf bulborb into the water and such.

>>376364648
Because that's how it's going to be someday. Humans aren't gonna be around forever, at least not in our current state, and even though people going extinct is a pretty common plot trope in modern fiction, Pikmin does a good job of really demonstrating that life can and will continue on without us.

>>376364724
I guess, in the same way plants have genders probably since they're more plant than animal

>>376364967
That would be amazing.
Just imagine a mechanic in 4 where you lure an enemy you don't want to fight over near its natural predator and watch them go at it.

Bioluminescent orange Pikmin for high risk/high reward nighttime missions fucking when?

>>376364967
That would be pretty cool. I wouldn't be surprised if they went with a similar idea to Breath of the Wild / Rain World and had creatures specifically have responses to other creatures.
As long as the game was made harder to compensate for things like that.

I want to see bulborbs snapping at one another / trying to display their dominance to a subspecies.

>>376365237
You can already sort of do it in the earlier games. Mostly with Cannon Beetles and using their rocks to take out enemies. I think in 2, if you were lucky enough, you could lure an enemy into the rockfall traps (I fucking hated those traps)

>>376364967
The only reason you don't see that sort of shit in-game it'd be too complex for what they're trying to achieve with the gameplay. The creatures are fleshed out a lot more in the research logs and notes.
>wollywogs lay their eggs on branches to prevent them from being eaten by blue pikmin and water dumples

Yeah that's what gets me the most. Whenever I play a new pikmin game it's always 'What the fuck is this thing. What the fuck is it doing? Oh shit it's a doing a thing!' Pikmin really is just 'Damn nature you scary!' in game form.

You know now that I think on it, I think the games never really delve too far into how the Pikmin operate themselves. Like, they clearly can get along, they work together after all. But can they throw another? Can one command others? How they hell do they get out of the ground if no captain is there to pluck them?

>>376366150
The popular theory is that there's a captain pikmin that the explorers are mistaken for.

>>376366269
Understandable, I can see that. Another thing is how pikmin eat exactly. I don't think any of them have mouths except the blues...and even then I'm not 100% sure.

>>376366150
It's explicitly stated that that's part of why Olimar has such an uneasy relationship with the Pikmin. He isn't sure if he turned them warlike.

>>376366284
Pikmin are too tiny for you to fuck them, nigga

>>376366495
If that's true, then they sure are losing that war pretty badly.

>>376366072
What is this thing even supposed to be anyway

>>376366563

At the end of pikmin 1 that wasn't the case.

The MOMENT that olimer left the pikmin alone and took off in his ship, it showed a group of pikmin throwing themselves at a bullborg, suddenly knowing the tactics to work together. Implying that they will either be able to survive, or maybe even become the dominant species on that planet now that they know how to work together.

I think even more interesting at the onions, which are seemingly bio-mechanical in nature.

Purples in 3 are used to manage your treasure hoarding, it's a good thing they aren't as OP as in 2. Notice how they aren't present in the battle enemies maps.

I actually didn't notice that. I usually only did the gather treasure maps and what maps they do show up in, they're horrible at fighting enemies now. Hell in Twilight Forest, you can get away with not really using them at all.

Oh, you do! Twilight Hollow, I missed that one. It's true, that's where they're used the least.

so uh
fun thread
I hope hey pikmin is fun, it looks cute.

>>376370007
but we're not even near the bump limit

>>376369472
Yeah that's the one. Also you're thinking of thirsty desert. THAT is the level where you're completely better off without using them, since Pinks can lug back all the big fruits by abusing the charge feature with them.

>>376359492
Make Louie playable and have all his moves involve using Pikmin monsters as weapons.

>Dash attack is riding a dwarf bulborb
>You seing around dwevils for melee attacks
>You can toss out Sheerbugs that freeze enemys they touch
>Final smash is the Titan Dwevil

>>376370007
I hope there's a demo, this honestly isn't a game I'll buy without trying first.
It does look nice, though.

>>376370243
I used them a lot in thirsty desert, though, most fruits there were 5 to 10 weight, so it saved a shit ton of time. Well, as long as we both got platinum it's fine.

>That moment a adult bulborb is around the size of a average rat
>Even the biggest boss in the game isn't even that big compared to a human

Damn is feels good to be a giant

>>376369045
Yeah, pretty much as close to world record as possible. I've gotten really close on the desert remix one.

Everyone keeps suggesting new pikmin types, why don't we just keep the ones we have, but if you leave pikmin in the ground long enough they can become alpha pikmin and be used as captains?

>>376370501
Damn, that's actually admirable as fuck. I wouldn't be able to do that, I don't even want to speedrun the games. I feel like most of /v/ is really casual when it comes to pikmin, then I see players like you.

>>376370461
I always wanted to fight a human sized creature in Pikmin. Have it be like a shadow f the colossus fight where you and a team of pikmin have to hang on and climb a giant creature in order to take it down. Sort of like the quaggled mireclops on crack.

Id freak the fuck out if I saw a titan dweevil in my house though

>>376370461
I'd flip the fuck out if I saw a spider the size of the titan though.

>>376370427
Eh, I'm not gonna knock you for it. There's tons of different strategies I'm sure. I just use the first 12 or so pinks you get to Take the apple and lemon that are gated off and then have them take the one where that lava slug is. Pinks are pretty fast, so it saves a lot of time

Daawww thanks, though it's not like I did it overnight

>>376370525
I'd rather we just had red blue yellows again, the other pikmin fuck up the difficulty balance.

>>376370621
damn that sounds like hell to no-death

>>376365778
that won't magically add a game mechanic

Why was Pikmin 2 so good bros?
Anyone else have trauma from the dungeons?

>>376370793
Not implying you did, of course it takes time.
You use wiimote and nunchuk, right? I can't imagine going for world records without them.

>Everything is tiny to humans

I get a cute picture of like our own little Bulborb pets that you feed bits of carrots to, maybe some breadbugs and tiny dwevils as well

>>376370968
pikmin 3 already did
and according to the alt right the jews are trying to also

>>376370940
Not anymore. You need to go back and conquer them.

>>376370621
Just how big is the Quaggled Mireclops compared to a human? Like the size of a dog, or what?

>>376346631
>>376346559

bulbmin were my favorite. wish i coulda brought them up into space

>It's better, faster, and safer to just get that punch upgrade and beat everything down instead of using pikmin
Who thought this was okay

>>376371192

reconsider your life choices

You HAVE gotten platinum on all missions, right, /v/? You aren't a casual, right?

>>376371825
Wasn't as good != bad

>>376371241
Looking at it compared to the pikmin, if the pikmin are an inch tall, mireclops is a bit shy of two feet. It's pretty fucking wide though, I would freak the fuck out if I ever saw that weirdass thing

>>376371870
I never even played mission mode, I beat story and haven't played it since

They succeeded in Pikmin 2, but the president wasted more money. Watch the Expedition Logs.

>>376372120
Why was the ship a piece of shit again, then? Shouldn't it have kept its gold coating?

How about some ideas for Pikmin 4
>Drone boss that involves both rocks and yellows, which you collect as the main treasure of the dungeon
>Dungeon filled to the brim with modern day animals
>Rainbow Crawmad which has hammers for arms and constantly chases your Pikmin hammering them life by life underwater
>Octopus using a plank and a dagger to attack and defend

>>376370940
Too many to count
