It's my first time playing Pikmin. I already beat 1, playing 2 now and I'm having a blast, I already got 3500+ money. What am I in for for the rest of the game?

>>378177303
Rock Pikmin are better designed mechanically when it comes to combat
Though Purple Pikmin do have the carrying/weight thing going on.
I don't see them coming back as a main thing in the story, but I wouldn't mind them as an optional pikmin type, that would only be required for a very few optional puzzles at most.

I haven't gotten that error before but I have been super tempted to replay Pikmin 2 lately, even before going into this thread I was playing the Pikmin 2 OST and before that downloaded the whole Pikmin 3 OST. I hope Pikmin 4 is shown off at E3 in a couple weeks, my urge to replay these games are strong right now.

Rock Pikmin are OP as shit though just like Purple Pikmin are.

Next we have a simple pipe, which could be the exit to a cave, spitting you out pretty far above the ground.

On the right could be some sort of slide the get toma lower area.

>>378182597
What if you pop out of the pipe and go down like a slide, and you gotta throw Pikmin while sliding down into trees with small berries on them.

>>378182597
man, that's cool.
It kind of reminds me where I live. There's a drainage ditch in my town, that ends up getting a lot of water down it because of a local apartment complex's sprinkler system hits right into the ditch, so as a result there's a lot of shit growing in there downstream.

>>378182597
I've never really looked at the ground and thought about how it could translate to a pikmin map like that, and now that you've pointed out that you can do it anywhere and to anything, I'm going to end up thinking about it all the time.

Lol I know right? Now you know how I feel. I've trained my mind, since taking these pictures, to pic out every little detail of the landscape around me, assessing it to see what could be used in a pikmin game to the point of probable autism.

I've loterally done this to the point of finding a single leaf hanging from a spider web on a tree branch, and though to myself, "what if there was some sort of dweevil/long-legs boss that starts out with a leaf dangling from a web that's hanging from it's abdomen/head to lure prey in?"

Speaking of which, here's more of simple landscape stuff that looks like it could be in Pikmin 4.

In Pikmin 3, the Koppia breath air, but only a little bit, and breathing the air on PNF404 would destroy their insides because PNF404 has triple the air.

Next is a small little secrion of what could be eiher the city area or the garden area (excluding the road part). The way the shadow of the tree really reminded me of the cherry blossom part of Pikmin 2's garden area.

>>378186939
reminds me of those grassy field sublevels of pikmin 2.

Actually what the fuck was up with the caves? Some were cave-like
Some were rusted metal beams
some were bathroom tiled
some were fields covered in bright sunlight.
some were fucking toy boxes

>>378186882
Thanks anon! Miyamoto has stated that his original inspirations for Pikmin were when he explored the wilderness when he was a kid, and wanted to translated those experiences into a game. I guess I've like the next generation of this, in a lesser kind of way lel.

>>378187219
who knows. I guess a lot of buildings have levels/floors that were underground and whatnot.

>>378187279
I thought miyamoto claimed that pikmin's inspiration was when he took up gardening as a hobby.
Or maybe that was Mole Mania. Maybe both.

As stated before, here are some of my photos/ideas from the old ass thread I just found. Enjoy all the glorious spelling and grammar errors Imve made due to not proof reading the fucking things:

This would be perfect for the entrance of a cave.

[video of church]

And then it would lead up into a house/building like this, through the pipes leading to the gutters, where you would probably get onto the roof (probably by a pile of leaves that clogged it up), where you would then enter the house through a hole in the roof and slowly work your way down, until the cave is complete. (If you can't tell I really want an area in a pikmin game to take place in a house).

I also had another idea for a cave while I was replacing one of my sprinkler heads in my yard. Like, I had to dig a hole around the sprinkler to be able to get to it, then I twisted the head off (which was a little over half a foot long, so the hole was pretty deep) exposing the pipe. I thought it looked like a cool entrance to a cave, maybe even one like "The Submerged Castle" (the cave in Pikmin 2 that only allows you to take blue pikmin with you), or the "Shower Room" (also a pikmin 2 cave), due to it being a water pump.

The cave could have some creature (presumably one looking for water) that's digging a hole where the sprinkler was outside a house (possibly even the same house I mentioned before) with the actual sprinkler sitting somewhere near it, where the creature pulled it off, then it triggers a cutscene where the creature sees you. After that you battle and kill it, and then you can enter the cave. :^)

I've never wanted to be a game designer, but I sure as fuck want to make a Pikmin game.

>Another cave that would take place in the House themed area could take place in the attic and the air conditioning vents, and eventually in the air conditioner itself (pic related) where ypu eould fight a boss called the "Grappletongued Dustrabbit" which is a literal dust bunny, but in appearance is more pf a mixture of a frog and a rabbit, with it's grapple-tongue and ability to stick to the walls of the conditioning unit.

There are more than enough purple candypop buds just doing normal cave exploring to hit the 100 mark.

The World of Nintendo figures aren't too bad (I have Olimar myself) but they lack the stands the Agatsuma ones have.

>>378190532
Don't some of them not spawn depending on your Pikmin counts? I usually go into every cave with 20/20/20/20/20 once I get all the types since I haven't played enough to remember exactly what I need. If I traveled with less purples would I get more?

>>378190742
Some work that way and some depend on how many of a pikmin type you have overall.
If anything having less purples with you would prevent you from skewing towards an overabundance of them while cave exploring and making things too easy.

>>378190742
>If I traveled with less purples would I get more?
Yes you would usually, personally I go into caves with 10-15, it's not like you need a shitload anyways, their stun really gets the job done.

[R.O.B. Pikmin Boss. "Possessive Water Wraith" and "The Submerged Kingdom"]

Pt. 1

The "Possessive Water Wraith" is the creature that resides at the lowest possible point of the cave "The Submerged Kingdom." Now, obviously this is a nod to Pikmin 2's Submerged Castle in every conceivable way, but going with the idea that I'd love for there to be an area in Pikmin 4 that takes place entirely in a house, I thought it would be cool to have the The Submerged Kingdom take place in the water system of the house, starting at the exposed pipe where a sprinkler head used to be, due to it being ripped off by a new type of enemy that seems to be looking for water, but more on that later. After entering the cave you work your way through the pipes to find little areas here and there that will be the sub-levels of the cave. After the third sub-level, you begin to follow what seems to be the water wraith from Pikmin 2 only without its stone rollers through each sublevel (while still collecting treasure of course) until you work your way to the sceptic tank of the house, that is full of water (implying that the wraith "eacaped"), trigger a battle with a Ranging Bloyster. After the fight, you take the pipe from the sceptic tank to the shower and bathtub of one of the bathrooms of the house. Collect the treasure, kill the enemies, etc, in the bathtub after falling through to opened shower head, and leave through the drain, noticing that all these ways are suspiciously open enough for something solid to pass through. The drainage pipes lead to the nearby sewer, which is the final sub-level.

[R.O.B. Pikmin Boss. "Possessive Water Wraith" and "The Submerged Kingdom"]

Pt. 2

You walk through the corridors of the sewer for a short amount of time, before spotting the Wraith, whom you chase until you reach the drainage area of the sewer where the manhole slightly open, letting in some light. The wraith disappears into the dark, corridor
On the other side. You soon realize that the whole chase was merely a trap, as the wraith has lead you to it's den and weapon of choice to immobilize it's pray: a R.O.B. That had fallen into the sewer via the open manhole. The now possessed R.O.B. Slowly enters the boss room, ready to stack anything up it sees, just to pelt falling pillars of whatever it gets it's hands on, as well as hammer-like slams of it's arms agains the ground, flattening any Pikmin that are caught under it's slender arms. After defeating it, the wraith leaves the robot and seeps into the ground, leaving R.O.B. In pieces, all of which you are able to take back as treasure. The exit is a geyser that lands you in a new area of the house.

Next we have a tree stump that is on a bit of an incline. This could work as the arena you fight the boss for the cave it's a part of. [spoilers]I'll post the enteance to the cave next.

The arena for the boss fight would probably be a bit bigger than the pictures make sit out to be, so imagine it is.

You submerge to the top of the arena from the long looking hole near the middle of the stump, as it's a bit of an incline, and re-enter the cave through the hole near the right edge of it after beating the boss, where it will lead to to the exit of the cave.

>>378193230
>Louie is back! Somehow, he survived a horrific ordeal with a freakishly large, weapon-wielding titan dweevil! I entered a hole with an army of ferocious Pikmin, grimly determined to save Louie from the titan dweevil, but it seems that he was perfectly fine all along. I can't understand how he managed to avoid being eaten. Hmmm... He's always had an unusually close connection with insects, and I know he loves to cook them! Maybe he wasn't kidnapped after all... Could he have been controlling that beast all along?! No... that's craziness! Although... he does insist now that we address him by his 'proper title', the King of Bugs.

>A new employee of Hocotate Freight, Louie is often silent. Nobody knows what thoughts lurk in his mind. He appears to operate on the same wavelength as insects, often with dangerous results. After he was kidnapped, he somehow managed to hijack a colossal insect's brain!

It's mostly because it comes when you don't expect some creepy shit when playing a game that's mostly cheerful like Pikmin. The only other thing in a game to scare me as much as the waterwaith is SA-X from Metroid fusion. Nintendo is good at making scary shit.

Reposting this because what the hell:

I think it would be the coolest shit ever if after every world boss, instead having the boss just cough up the treasure in front of you, it would lead you to a room where the treasure was, and every treasure room was this huge ass landscape, made specifically for the view, and if you wait there longg enough, you'll barely see a real animal in the back ground.

For instance: there you just killed a boss in the forest area of the game, and you go to the room dedicated to that boss's treasure, and it shows a HUGE expance of forestry, and if you wait there for a few minutes, you can barely see a huge ass deer or moose walk by in the distance.

Another example could be a beach-side boss fight, which leads to its treasure room and a beautiful view of the ocean, where you can see a dophin or a whale briefly surface.

Pic related is what i had in mind for the type of beach.

You have just discovered a mod that allows white and purple pikmin to exist in the first Pikmin game

How does this affect your progress in the game they spawn only after day 2, you cannot take them with you at the end of the day only pluck them again once you return. Plucking decreases available time in the day slightly

Except they wouldn't have a "good reason" for doing so, and are 100% down with crippling the environment, down to capturing wildlife en masse to sell. They have the full backing of a conglomerate of companies who want to process/extract as much as possible.

The final dungeon is their ship. You go through it releasing enemies and causing havoc, until you destroy their power generator just before sundown

Or just do Pikmin vs robots that are based off of Pikmin, whatever.

Anyone else accidentally skip the waterwraith? I saw the path to the cave and all the warning shit when you click on the entrance and said fuck it, some other day.
Never got back to it and found out about the waterwraith later online after beating the game.

I really hope Nintendo has something to present for us during E3. Pikmin 4 was supposed to be nearing completion two years ago, it's either done or Nintendo has buried the whole project for whatever reason. I'm hoping it's the former and they're just holding onto it until the right release time.

Also I deleted my Pikmin folder, whoops. Here's my last Pikmin-related image.

Thank goodness it's Miyamoto's baby.

Rip Pikmin folder. I don't know how many Pikmin images I have but I'll at least try and help rebuild.

I'm not sure if I'd even be surprised.

But Miyamoto isn't involved apparently?

More games need tranquil rest areas inside dungeons or other such gauntlets
my god, pikmin 2's rest areas felt so god damn good

Do you think pikmin all taste the same? Or would they differ based on their color? Are reds spicy and yellows lemony?

>>378202843
Cease

>>378202843
I imagine the red ones to be like cherry. Whites are probably the spicy ones.

>>378202048
SO U BE SAYIN

So is anyone actually excited for Hey Pikmin or no

>>378203805
I might pick it up.

>>378202843
The Candypop buds apparently taste different, so I imagine Pikmin do too.

>>378203805
I'll definitely pick it up. I also probably was the only one who liked Chibi robo ziplash.

>>378203805
Maybe if it has some lore.

>>378176805
were these fuckers in pikmin 3? I'd imagine they'd be hard to handle as you don't have a c-stick to manage your troops. Sad how Nintendo made a game harder to play becase they wanted to use their latest meme controller

>>378204702
Nope, but a new "That Enemy" of the game is the Peckish Aristocrab

>>378204702
Nope. I was sad for the removal of swarming, but when I played with the Stylus Touch-Pad mode, I didn't even feel like I was missing it that much.

>>378202490
No he's not. It's being developed by an external studio.
But people are still adamant that it was the game he was talking about.

My theory is that the one we face in the first Pikmin is more matured than the ones we face in 2. Consider the amount and length of mushrooms and shit growing on their backs. Maybe the one in the first Pikmin was an adult or something.

>>378196949
I would call it "The Holey Stronghold" instead.

>>378206691
I think that since it evaporates/bubbles up after defeat it wasn't a real Emperor Bulblax,
unlike the ones who left corpses.

Me too. That was bad


I played Pikmin 2 and fell completely in love with it. I played Pikmin 3 via cemu and it was pretty ok, but I'm REALLY hoping that we get a good Pikmin 4.

You only exist because Purple was too good. Rock will always be inferior.

Captcha got borked for a few hours. Passfags shitposted in threads they made themselves to gloat about being the only ones able to post.

Man, Pikmin is such a mysterious series. It has unlimited potential in terms of horror-esque enemies and world design.

It's like Skull Island on crack.

>>378210210
The second empress bulblax and the Bug-Eyed Crawmad in Pikmin 3.

>>378210210
when I first encountered the waterwraith. It terrorized me, I'm still not sure if it was actually real or I imagined the whole submerged castle dungeon
that last floor tho

Snagret

>>378201803
You know Nintendo's shitty youtube creator program? Well Pikmin 2 isn't on the list of ganmes you're allowed to play, which is probably due to all the product placement.

>>378204186
I liked it too
