Only the most heartless of players wouldn't care about the Pikmin. Like you feel terrible when you lose even just a couple. It's not even that you wouldn't be able to pick up an object, but more so you could have prevented it. At least most of the time. Hidden enemies are a bitch.

[@Progamer-vz8hd]

Fun fact, Louie actively restrains himself from eating the Pikmin according to his piklopedia entry for red Pikmin in 4 since they look like pikpik carrots and wants to know how they taste. We don’t know a lot of the specifics about Louie other than he’s supposedly a great cook and had abusive parents since he was taken in by his grandma based on the emails he gets from his grandma in Pikmin 2. He also has a fascination with bugs and may be able to telepathically communicate with them according to the piklopedia entry of the Titan Dwevail in Pikmin 2 and his entry in the treasure section in the piklopedia in Pikmin 2. So there’s a reason behind his sociopathy and introverted behaviors exhibited in 2-4 but it doesn’t excuse what he’s done in the games.

[@camchameleon4151]

😦 I thought this was just a wholesome little game about killing nature with little slaves what do you mean there’s that much lore

[@xiuskwild]

Oh no, they’re not slaves. They’re arguably allegorical representations of Japanese businessmen working for an exploitative company under the supervision of olimar who is also working for an exploitative company. Being forced to go to work, face untold horrors and willingly go do it again the next day is what made Pikmin an initial success in Japan.

[@susanaalmeida593]

I love the reference to the fact that Olimar names his Pikmin, it was a random factoid expressed in a Nintendo Power issue (because yes, they actually still produced Nintendo Power up until the Wii era) and it’s questionably canon but I want to believe that Olimar actually named each of his thousands of little creatures that all look identical but is still able to perfectly distinguish each of them without fail. Also here’s another interesting fact, it’s actually been established that Louie doesn’t eat the Pikmin because Olimar threatened to tell the company president that it was Louie who ate all of the golden carrots that he was supposed to deliver if he did and it’s heavily implied that the reason why he tried to kill Olimar and the president with the Titan Dweevil is that he just assumed that Olimar told the president about his secret and that they were trying to find him because they were going to punish him. Oh that Louie, what a rascal!

[@anjoliebarrios8906]

How did Olimar know about the pikpik carrot thing, exactly? we know it bc of that cutscene but how does olimar know?

[@ninjamaster9094]

@@anjoliebarrios8906 Olimar probably just put two and two together and figured out his extremely omnivorous coworker being left alone with delicious vegetables didn't end that well, but it's a lot funnier if it turned out it was just an idle threat that he managed to get right accidentally, like: Olimar: "If you dont stop trying to eat those pikmin I WILL tell the President that you ate those pikpik carrots and get you fired" Louie: "How did you know I did that?" Olimar: "...Wait what" Louie: "What"

[@gokublacksama3443]

"Rascal" is what you put on the cover of a book about the things Louie has done/thought of doing

[@survivorofthecurse717]

There's also a special mail that you can get if you spend enough days without progressing forward. One of them is, in a nutshell, the president going "Hey... I don't remember there being space rabbits over there!"

I love how that Bulborb is animated, I think I can actually look at it for hours without getting tired of it. The rest of the animation is also very funny, of course, but for me that Bulborb is especially fantastic! Kudos, Goobus! 😆👍

[@segadoeswhatnintendont]

Having olimar name all the pikmin is a really problematic idea especially in pikmin 2. Imagine the trauma when the water wraith just squishes 70 of them

[@alexruska9390]

The fact that Olimar asks the Bulborb that it's brain had just evolved to process the demon known as Louie's actions is cool and horrifying

[@lordofsandvich3630]

0:40 this implies that the Pikmin previously had a death sentence, therefore also a judiciary system, and that Olimar had enough sway to convince them to outlaw the death penalty AND become their head of state, considering that they're petitioning Olimar for change rather than just... killing Louie. And also that the Pikmin know EACH OTHERS' names, which is kinda wholesome tbh

[@greensonickid3304]

I've never played Pikmin, but this is the entire plot of Pikmin now, also I love how Olimar knows all the Pikmin's Names, he's like Santa Claus for the tiny little carrot aliens
