The Horrors of Pikmin

[@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.

[@nospimi99]

The ID badge for Louie in Pikmin 4 reads "The quiet new driver and the embodiment of the word "troublemaker". He has a ravenous and alarmingly adventurous appetite." You can not convince me that Louie isn't the equivalent to a cannibalistic, serial killing truck driver. Adventurous appetite is already a bit suspect but the fact the word "alarmingly" is further added on is all I need to know.

[@Poketom-ob1dl]

For reference: Both Olimar and Louie share their thoughts on every creature in the game. Olimar’s notes are fascinating scientific insights into every creature Louie’s notes are a cookbook. The game goes into vivid detail about how Louie prepares, dismembers, cooks and eats every creature in the game. And Pikmin are included in that! The literal only reason why he doesn’t devour his entire squad of Pikmin at any opportunity is because he finds them useful for getting more snacks. And you can fact check me on that because it is 100% true

[@Samagachi]

There’s no reason he can’t snack on a pikmin once in a while considering how easy they are to get

[@chaotixthefox]

Actually the reason is Olimar knows he ate the Gold Pikpik Carrots and has threatened to tell if he keeps eating Pikmin.

[@SpectroliteDS2400]

According to Pikmin 4, he once chipped a tooth trying to bite a Rock Pikmin. So yeah.

[@hankboog462]

it's so hilarious that ever since luie was introduced in pikmin 2 as olimars partner, in every main line pikmin game one of the main story objects has been to apprehend luie, like lmao what's wrong with him

[@lightsidesoul]

Something funny I feel the need to point out: In Pikmin 4, not only is it revealed that Louie doesn't actually eat Pikmin (Because of how useful they are to survival), it's also revealed that he sees PNF-404 as a paradise because he doesn't have to listen to anyone, (including his grandmother, who was implied to be abusive in 2) but the planet is filled with (to him) gourmet ingredients. Considering he's not only survived, but thrived on PNF-404 three separate times now, it's not hard to understand why he doesn't want to go back to Hocotate.

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

[@1billysupporter43]
