The Mastermind Behind Everything (Pikmin Theory)

[@Invizeron]

If you ignore all its flaws, it's a pretty good theory. Let me know what you all think, and thanks for watching.

[@itsdripnovababy]

BEHAHAHHAHAA

[@DeusVultGames]

Personally, I think you got a ton right, but I think Louie begins acting sus because he eats the waterwraith in Pikmin 2. Most of the sus things he does that we can confirm happen after Submerged castle (in a normal playthrough)

[@Invizeron]

Yeah thats a fair point. Its the reason him being controlled by a wraith creature rather than being one makes the most sense.

[@citrufruit]

everything is good if you ignore all their flaws, lol

[@kungfuluigi-kz9do]

You said every ship crash lands but in pikmin 4 you dont

[@Katsi404]

I wonder if Louie becoming a 'final opponent' is part of an in-joke of sorts at Nintendo. He and Olimar are references to Luigi and Mario, as many people already know. In Super Paper Mario, Luigi ends up being the prophesied bringer of destruction, and the final boss of that game. Nintendo seems to like taking the bumbling side buddy and making him into an unexpected threat, because it's funny.

[@Invizeron]

Its funny for sure. It could very well be them just having fun (making jokes) and making Louie the reason for most of the problems.

[@charliem.7361]

Louie's the strongest being in the entirety of fiction and you cannot convince me otherwise

[@digitaIangel]

yea cuz in pikmin 2 he literally ate the waterwraith

[@vibechestercheddar2595]

Louie is just the ultimate shit starter, he is just the infinite chaos 😂

[@jasonthomas4624]

True

[@anthonyoliver418]

My three main issues are that Louie has a Nana which hints at there being nothing special about him, the fact that goolix is an actual family separate from the Wraiths, and the fact that the wraiths seem to be hinted at being an mysterious form of species that we don’t yet understand with the Plasm Wraith having maternal instincts with Olimar, almost like it lost it’s child too soon, and with their being multiple Water Wraiths hint that we just don’t understand their dimensional existence enough to confirm what they are, rather than them being godlike monsters manipulating others

[@JAYZ-47465]

Louie to me is such a complex character. That’s why he’s one of my favourite characters. Like some would justify his actions while others would literally be knife-at-throats to him. When I first heard and played Pikmin, I was literally those people, but once I delved further into the game lore and heard fans’ other opinions, im really just in the middle, I don’t think he’s really unethically evil, but I don’t think he’s ethically good either. Interesting theory tho 👍 Also, just to add, I personally and strongly believe Pikmin 4 is like…an alternate universe game

[@GriffinShrimp]

Alph’s final log might of just been retconned, as there’s a 7 year gap in between 3 and 3 deluxe. Likely just to wrap up loose ends if deluxe under sold and or to make a timeline reset easier Otherwise, cool theory!

[@moonyandpadfoot6838]

Louie isn’t evil he is just broken. His aunt made him go outside and eat bugs and made him eat a lot of PikPikcarrots. The reason he ate the golden pikpikcarrots is because he couldn’t resist the urge to eat the golden pikpikcarrots. When he got stranded on pnf-404 he was good in fact doing amazing he just wanted to stay there.

[@kikigarza9092]

I also agree

[@myfloofydog9068]

Louie wanted to make the leaflings collect the enemies and that’s why he didn’t want to leave

[@egg_ox]

The mastermind? Louie just wants to eat food and be left alone, man

[@johntheechidna1]

True villain, indeed. Nearly runs a company out of business (Pikmin 2), almost ends Koppai's population (Pikmin 3), and could have triggered an interplanetary incident (Pikmin 4). All for the sake of stuffing his face! I dunno about the rest of you, but if he was getting devoured by one of the Pikmin's predators, I would be like Megatron from "Transformers One" and let him get eaten, while saying, "I'm done saving you."

[@leoooooo4726]

Also louie: Mmm... Funny planet with food, I may Bring My grandma to this Place

[@Invizeron]

yup, exactly

[@seanimo8579]

You forgot to mention that the Golden Pikpik Carrots were meant to replenish Koppai’s food supply, and eating them indirectly led to their famine, which led to them discovering PNF-404.

[@andrescube64]

Louie is my favorite character in Pikmin, I wish he was in smash because he is such an interesting character.

[@RustyNips]

Ya they really should add Louie to smash He would be a great echo, olimar would have red blue and yellow pikmin and Louie could have purple white and bulbmin Just have the pikmin do the different elements and weights would different them enough

[@myfloofydog9068]

Louie literally wants you to find dwarf bulborbs before the onion (so he can eat them)

[@Star-Soul4]

Listen a lot of people miss this, in pikmin 4 wen a random day ends olimar says that he said to Louie that "what ever i do you do ok?" And so wen he turned into a lefing then Louie did what lifthing olimar did and i don't know if louie has hearing problems but wen a day ends in pikmin 2 ONE time he's Grandma says that he became friends with a lot of different bugs and eat a lot of them wen he was little. And I realised that, he seems to have a lot of disabilitys problems like he can't think very well and mental things he just doesn't even know what he's doing anymore with his life. (Btw sorry if i spelled enithing rong, i just want the pikmin community to realise what is actually happening in this story ) (Good theary video though 👍)

[@yes3206]

english isn’t your first language?

[@JAYZ-47465]

good point its also been theorised that louie may be on the autism spectrum just to add

[@Star-Soul4]

[@Gibygob]

Why no comments yet on such a masterpiece of a video, aka me first

[@DoMinatorKid78]

3:23 I thought you messed up with koppai and hocotate 😅

[@hippothehippo]

I like to think that there is both a super natural Cthulhu like force in this universe AND Louie who is just a crazy psycho

[@Glitchmouse2]

Both endings in deluxe are canon. Since the delivery ship was broken in pikmin 3’s campaign, the koppaites invited him to lead him to hocotate in the S.S.DRAKE. He returns home just to get back to PNF-404 because the president wants more money.

[@WannabeMarysue]

louie has never done a single thing wrong

[@TCO0_62hh]

Hey! Pikmin Also Has Another Wraith Creature Called The Leech Hydroe But It Was Just Out Of Control So It Wasnt A Real Threat

[@PeteOfDarkness]

Pikmin is E-rated version of Dead Space. MAKE US WHOLE LOUIE.

[@Loubert2004]

Louie

[@BulbminYT]

This may be minor but, Louie has red eyes.

[@kirbmaster9405]

no he thinks the leaf olimar kinda reminds him of olimar

[@Archer-jt4qe]

Yo I believe maybe the humans either turn into pikmin from some leaf virus or the go to other planets and evolve into the beings we see like olimar and many others

[@Icecreeeeeamya]

I love the theory, but what about Louie’s grandmother. She new Louie when he was a kid and there’s talk about his aunt and dad as well.

[@Invizeron]

I ignored that part because I wasn't too sure how to put a spin on it. The easiest way to get around it, is to say that Louie is being controlled by an umibozu rather than being one (put that louie could be getting controlled in some text in the video but didn't say it). That way everything still fits.

[@Pixeled.clubss]

He's right about someone pulling the strings... In Pikmin 4, at first I paided no attention to a line said by olimar himself in shipwreck tale ,but he too feels he was trapped here by another force. Interesting.

[@TheoneanduniqueAubergine8622]

This theory is actually really fun and interesting even if i don't agree with all of it, tho i agree with all the creatures of pikmin and the space explorers being the descendants of our own fauna that became smaller and smaller to adapt This also makes me wish pikmin 4's story was a bit different, i do like it don't get me wrong but it would better imo if it was clearly shown to be 3's sequel and that Louie being left on PNF-404 after 3 was also confirmed. Because think about it, if he was left there for so long he would've plenty of time to discover and tame moss using his prior knowledge of taming the titan dweevil and other creatures, it would also explain why he is way better at dandori than a leafling olimar i think it is also possible that he is aware of his species relation to the former humans and he finds their lifestyle more appealing, and that is why he eats meat and wants to repopulate earth using people and dogs that can never leave

[@DeusVultGames]

Okay, but the LOTR ambience for louie 👌

[@DeusVultGames]

Ok, I'm an idiot. I had the opening to Lego Lord of the Rings playing in the background but it just to happened to line up perfectly so that once he mentioned louie around 3 minutes in the Uruk-Kai theme began playing. Louie escaped (DRAMATIC HORNS).

[@Invizeron]

I mean it sounds like that just happened to make the experience of the video better. So if anything it was a good thing that happened.

[@connor-i1k]

hes may be evil or a phsyco sometimes but he does help in pikmin 2 and he is abit confused

[@sarrahredding-johnson2315]

My Pikmin 2 said the guy who's the boss said I should fire you 2 in my game

[@bonhommelenny7796]

this makes sense but the part that there's a humususuzszooumio or something like that that is not right

[@WillyLongLegsTheSpider]

Louie is scary,he tried eating me and my family,like what the hell ! I am supposed to stomp you,your not supposed to try and eat me !

[@Camran888]

This is the truest true true to ever be true because that made sense

[@leoleo9646]

Why was Louie startled by the Pikmin in Pikmin 2 at first? And why did he let the people leave at the end if he wanted the most amount of people on the planet? 🤨🤨🤨

[@Glitchmouse2]

Lets say both pikmin 4 and 1-3 are 2 different timelines, Louie still rules. 1-3 TIMELINE: Louie has been to PNF-404 after Olimar crashlanded, which he probably thrown a rock to hit the S.S.DOLPHIN. Then he goes on the planet to eat everything, and eats the pikpik carrots. Then before Olimar leaves, he leave’s to go to hocotate, then announces the news about the space bunnies. Olimar returns and drops a piece of 7up. Which leads to olimar getting back to PNF-404. During these times, he intentionally leave’s the delivery ship. Then goes to the dream den to try killing Olimar and the president (for trying to save him) after that the president was left behind… so Olimar and louie has to get back to PNF-404 to get the president. Which probably was pushed by Louie out of the ship. Returning to PNF-404. they crash land yet again. This time with their delivery ship. Olimar tries his best to fix the ship and finding the president, Louie intetionally failing his job. At the end, we don’t know where the president is. The koppaites now. The koppaites have food…. Thats the whole reason Louie wants them. The plasm wraith, i have this theory that the water and plasm wraith were controlled by Louie because he knew the koppaites were trying to save Olimar. (he heard their discussion while sleeping in the S.S.DRAKE) Side stories. Olimar goes with Louie back to PNF-404 to fix the delivery ship and try finding the president. And well. I don’t know if they end up finding him or not…… i wonder if he is even in PNF-404. Louie isn’t an Umibozu, he’s even trying to make everyone ‘’GO HOME’’ he’s trying to stay on the planet because he feels at peace in this planet, just look at the amount of pollution in hocotate. Edit: forget about the president

[@JosephOliva-km1qf]

Omg I also thought that the main characters were humans once

[@JessicaChapman-ke2oc]

Moss though that Louise was Olimer

[@hannonchong7888]

The Rookie in pikmin four didn’t crash???

[@I-mour]

Personally I think majority of PIKMIN characters have a motive especially with the goo creatures the captains especially the Pikmin themselves ngl.

[@Greenkittycat333]

My theory is similar :) I will tell you if you ask
