Maybe not.

Are you talking about Scruffy? I fucking love that guy.
>>378268387
There's a chance that Pikmin 4 will be announced at this year's E3. They're also good games that deserve discussion.

Time to get back at it, I suppose.
All these fucking Pikmin threads lately, feels like the Pikmin fans who have been underground the whole time are trying to keep them alive after seeing how well these threads went.
But damn, I think I might have to play through the trilogy again. These threads are making me antsy.
>>378270329
That's seemed to have an effect on a lot of people in hese threads.including me
>>378268387
Mostly nuat the perfect storm of pikmin fans joining one random pikmin thread one day, and the experience was so great, that we all had to keep them up.
Basically, Pikmin threads are becoming the younger sibling to Kirby threads.
>>378270329
Personally, I think we need to give it a rest with the Pikmin threads. We might burn out if we keep making threads like this.
>>378268679
He and Pannen should put together a network of turbo autists obsessed with a game or series of games.
>>378271045
True. We should maybe give it a few days rest after this thread honestly.
Next spore when
Gonna repost this, because J have more photos giving sifferent angles of it. I may do this with other photo as well.
Here's a pretty cool looking side area for what could be a house/building themed area.
>>378271739
And here are the new angles I got from this area, which just shows what could the the exit to a water system themed cave. On the right is just simply a little hole in the curb that allows you to access the street, though ingame it'll probably only be a little bit of a street, like in the Valley of Repose.
Good, a Pikmin thread, I'm playing 2.

>>378272708
Nah, just the only way to have pikmin threads and keep them alive. Godda rake in the memesters so the thread is bumped enough to let the other people have conversations or post shit for others to see

I can't duel to the death when all my Pikmin are dead.
But I destroyed it, only 3 white Pikmin lost. Holy shit, this was insane.
>>378273116
>>378273721
A few months ago this dude on youtube was playing pikmin 2 for the first time and it happened a few times that he lost so many pikmin to a boss that he was just one short for carrying back the treasure. And later when fighting the beady long legs in the hole of heroes for like 30 minutes with little pikmin, he desperately watched as the treasure slipped into the water and he had no blues.
I can't remember if shit like this happened when I first played. I'm kind of an autist with pikmin and can't finish a game unless it's with 0 deaths.

th-that's what im making as a shitty first time game. it's based on this shitty tile based board game i drew on cardboard when i was deep into pikmin 2 as a kid.
Here's another repost due to new pictures...
Next, we have some potted plant outside my bedroom window, which kind of gave me a cool idea for a cave in a house themed area. And yes, I posted this before in a pikmin thread quite a while ago, but I lost mine and couldn't find the thread I posted it in, so if any kind anon's know where some of those threads are, I would auck your dicks.
Anyway, this potted plant could be in an off-shoot garden area of a house themed area, where you access it by getting up tho this window ledge, where the window will probably be open or broken, then building a long bridge to cross over to the pot, which seems to be sitting in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but a long expance of grass around it.
The cave itself with be Cloaking Burrownit themed (or whatever Pikmin 3's versions of it are called), with a Queen Burrownit as the end of cave boss. The cave itself started out as an ant hill style burrow system underground, starting with the potted plant, which has a hole going through it straight into the ground. The burrow was made when the queen was much smaller, which is evident by how masisve it will be compared to the entrance when you see it at the end of the cave.

And here are the new new photos, basically just showing what it would look like from the other side.
>>378275709
Additionally, the two photos to the right are where the entrance to the cave would be, looking at the pot from the view of the bedroom window.
>>378275579
This is just a big ass hole I found that looked like it would make a cool entrance ti a cave. Probably something like a newer version of the snagret hole, with the entire cave being carved out by a giant snagret (bigger than even the Pileated Snagret from Pikmin 2)
>>378267043

Every spaceship needs one of these, but I don't actually know what it's for. Every once in a while, it goes wild and lets out a lot of noise, but I never pay much attention to it, so it doesn't do me much good. I really should read that instruction manual one of these days!

Kirby threads are shit though. You can't have a single differing or remotely negative opinion or you'll get crucified and labelled as a shitposter. They're circlejerks.
At least these threads are ok with people not liking certain aspects of one game over another or preferrences. You won't be beheaded at the gallows for not liking Pikmin 2.

I'll behead you.
Reposting this for contex for the next photo:
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.

why is miaymoto such an autistic shit
>>378279343
And this photo is the expansive view for the treasure room of the garden themed area's world boss.
>>378279619
Because he is.
Or he's waiting to use them as marketing material for the next major pikmin
>>378279432
C'mon, Miyamoto. With Pikmin 3DS on the way, and possibly Pikmin Switch, those videos would be a perfect promotion.
>>378277239
So I guess in a way you could say Pikmin threads are better than Kirby threads

>>378280141

>>378280206
It would be unpleasant.
Borbs might be small enough to fit in your hand, but even a smaller dogs bite can hurt if they get you good.
>>378280378
they do only have two teeth though
>>378280476
They look like they might be venomous if you ask me. I still would enjoy a borb pet. I just want the borbs to be happy.
>>378277517
>modding

I thought Pikmin just attracted higher-functioning autists.
>>378280747
If your bulborb ever gets aggressive, give it a nice hard smack to the eye stalk to assert dominance
>>378280826
>blinding your borb
>not just booping the snoot
>>378280893
can't bite what it can't see
>>378280206
It would be extremly painful
>>378279343
That sounds cool but I wonder if normal animals even still exist. It could be a new creature the player could see later, maybe as a revisit boss.
These photos for areas are pretty cool too. Thanks for sharing them.
Still Pikmemorial Day, got through the first game in 9 Days with 39 deaths. Tomorrow I'll (somehow) get through Pikmin 2.
Also, can we discuss how perfect Pikmin 1's ending sequence is? Never fails to make me happy.
I drew a bulborb.
>>378281453
Also, what I want to see in Pikmin 4 is multiple captains on the same map moving at the same time, through multiplayer. Like, in the creature montage, you see honeywisps sometimes in the background. Something like that.

And yeah, I'm still a bit iffy on real animals being in the back ground. I do like the idea of there being past bosses in the background instead.as a matter of fact that idea is growing on me more and more.
I just keep latching onto the idea of real animals because it all came from this one idea I had to have a moose barely visible in the distance in a sort of creepy/ominous way.

No Pikmin were harmed in the making of Pikmin Short Movies
Why is this one autist uploading pictures of his neighborhood
>>378283636
Because that's what Pikmin is.
I hope Pikmin 4 has gore again, I liked looking at the empress bulblax explode and see all of the juice fly away, i absolutely loved when the empress squished her own babies and you could see their blood on the ground and how the crawbster's stomach exploded and how the titan dweevil dissolved and how the pikmin bled when stabbed by a burrownit.

Are the short movies cannon? cause i remember the pikmin being smart and like using problem solving skills, and not just mindless plants
>>378284185
surely they're not
>>378283636
Because I like taking pictures of things I see in nature that would translate well to a pikmin game. It helps me keep my sanity and satiate my need for a new pikmin game while I wait for One to actually get revealed. I'm sorry you don't like them, I just thought ohers might.
>>378276768
Can I ask how old you are? It's not in a rude way, it's more of a, I'd like to know if you're under 18, because I couldn't imagine at my age (24) walking around taking pictures of things in the city.
I love your pictures, and I really like the idea of what you do, I just have a hard time imaging you being older than 18 doing it
>>378263409
>>378283949
You sound like the kind of person that loves animal cruelty...
Am I the only person who thinks that pikmin 1 is better than pikmin 2? besides the better enemy design in pikmin 2, I think pikmin 1 did a better job in forcing you to manage your time and be careful.
It felt like every decision you made, no matter how minuscule, has an affect.
>>378284575
I absolutelyDESPISEthat shit, I only want it back because I feel like it made it more realistic(not organs literally exploding, the larvas getting squished)
Anyone want a sna—
>>378284541
I'm 20 y/o lmao. A lot of my sewer type photos come from around my uni, but some are taken in the city of my hometown. And for photos taken in the city type areas I always have he philosophy of "I'm most likely never going to see any person who notices me taking pictures of weird shit again, so who cares if they see me?" Though I do still try and wait until there aren't any people around, since I do still have some shreds of dignity after all.
>>378284743
Pikmin 2 has more to do, and they fixed a LOT of the issues with AI in the first one (Pikmin being retarded after drinking nectar and taking 20 seconds to come back, Pikmin tripping and not following you anymore, sometimes calling Pikmin back didn't work, etc)
I think in terms of the genre, Pikmin 1 would be the best, but in terms of control, enemy design, and amount of things to accomplish, Pikmin 2 is better
>>378284948
For sure, I feel it. I do like the pictures, and I used to do the same thing back when I first got Pikmin 2 (when I was 14 or so?), so I can respect it. The pictures are all interesting and nice.
Do you have any photoshop abilities? Maybe you'd enjoy editing your photos with enemies/obstacles/Pikmin in them
>>378284903
>putting your pikmin in the fridge
>>378284980
This, while also mention the survival scenario and sense of discovery of 1 being something that hasn't been replicated in its sequels or any other game for that matter. To me it seems like 3 tried to recapture some of that magic but wasn't entirely successful.
>>378285583
>not wanting a cold crisp snap when you bite into your pikmin
>>378285084
I Have very minimal photoshop skill, due to all of these photos being on my phone, so I use a photo editing app on it, then upload them to here theough my phone.yeah yeah, I know, phoneposters and such.
I have actually sone what you are suggesting before, though. I did it to a few photos I took and uploaded to a pikmin thread about a year ago, but I can't find the threads they were uploaded in, and I've since lost the photos themselves. They were all a lot better than the ones I've uploaded here recently, for the most part.
>>378285667
3 was still lenient in its time. Obviously more strict than 2, but not the claustrophobic feeling 30 days of the first game
>>378284743
It's really a toss-up for me, but I really do love the first one. Managing your time knowing there's a real limit is fun (unlike Pikmin 3 where the limit is so high there's no way anyone could feasibly even come close no matter how bad they are so it's essentially just Pikmin 2 above ground). The atmosphere is god-tier, feels very lonely and it has that early 3D look to it. Plus there's pretty much no story outside of the short opening and ending cutscenes, so it's pure gameplay all the way through. And although it's rather short, that's also kind of a positive because you can replay to try and improve your efficiency without committing too much to it.
>>378285667
3 tried and got it right to some degree, but being a game of the modern generation, it's filled with cutscenes and hand hold-ish level design that take some of that away.
Thread is nice, have a quick borb for it
>>378285720

>The atmosphere in the Forest Navel and Distant Spring

>>378287419
that + changed textures, sunlight, and objects sticking out of the ground. Super comfy.
Just gonna say, before the thread possibly gets archived, that these pikmin threads have been great.
However, I think we should possibly cool it some on the frequency of the threads, as it seems some people ITT are getting a bit burnt out.

Bro you should take some time and learn better lighting and compositional techniques to create interesting scenes vs this flat on "clinical" look at each one.
I can see in my head these scenes but a big disconnect is the photo.
Since Pikmin are so small you have to think of the angle/framing like a tilt shift almost.
>>378289492
This, some of the pictures look great and can easily be imagined as a Pikmin area but a bunch are pretty much just random pictures.
>>378289492
>>378289851
Hell even order a couple Pikmin miniatures online somewhere??? Throw them in, practical effects!

So I asked this in the last thread but didn't make it in time. Why does everyone hate the last level of 3? It's not that hard if you manage your leaders effectively, and I thought it was pretty intense in a fun way.
