The reason your captains kept dying on the final boss in pikmin 2 was because you didn’t fight the other bosses, the treasures they drop? THEY GIVE YOU ELEMENTAL PROTECTION!! Also thank you for liking Brittany the most. Brittany gang!!

[@theglasshalffull6958]

While doing some research on Pikmin 2 I found out that beating those bosses gives you access to elemental protection and I felt SO stupid for not realizing that sooner. It would still make the final boss a pretty hard challenge but I could've made it MUCH easier on myself if I... just played more of the game lol. Also yes Brittany best character fr

[@Jimmy-cg9db]

Note for people who complain about the days in pikmin 2. It's something like a high score. In the original game there was high scores. The challenge is to see how fast you can get things done.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

I don't think it's a bad thing, in fact I like how the developers wanted to change some gameplay aspects to make Pikmin 2 feel more unique. But I will admit I like the day/night feature a lot more in Pikmin 1 since it builds a lot more suspense than other games

[@Jimmy-cg9db]

@@theglasshalffull6958 but we can agree one thing. Pikmin 3 days being continued by juices is a joke if you're good at the game. Like I literally never got a game over. And while Pikmin 3 looks nice and improves things. The game is just to easy. Enemies die more faster, it feels linear, and charging is broken. Pikmin 1 and 2 both share challenge. But you can have an opinion and go with it. I cannot argue with that unlike others.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

Yea I can somewhat agree with that. I do think that having a whole system where you need juice to continue each day is a cool idea but doesn’t cause much of an impact on execution. And while I do think pikmin 3 is probably easier than the other 2 I still prefer it to the first 2 games. And most of the features that make pikmin 3 easier are user friendly additions that make the game a lot more accessible imo. Plus I never thought the game was baby easy where it was a breeze I still had a decent amount of difficulty trying to get through some bosses and I especially had trouble on the final segment of the game.

[@EntoneTori]

Pikmin 2 reusing the areas from Pikmin 1 is an easter egg and a callback, nothing more. I didn't notice this myself until a really long time. It really fascinated me! It utilizes the areas differently. They are basically the same place, yet it isn't exactly the same. They are very different from each other. They look completely different and many parts have a much different layout, as the things you're supposed to do also changed. It's just a callback and a really clever one at that.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

Maybe I was a little too harsh on the Pikmin 2 areas but I think the main reason I dislike them is because I played Pikmin 2 right after pikmin 1 so all the pikmin 1 areas were very fresh in my mind. So it was literally immediate that I noticed that all of Pikmin 2’s areas are just rehash’s of pikmin 1. Like I like the idea of the seasons changing in each areas since you did go back to the original planet olimar was stranded on.. but idk I can’t help but feel Thats a good enough reason to love what pikmin 2 did.

A lot of people pointed that out to me but I eventually realized that for myself after playing Pikmin 1 for a while and realized it wasn't so needlessly complicated. But when I first played Pikmin I thought you absolutely had to

[@LoonyBoony]

Fun fact: you dont have to go back to the ship in pikmin one to put your pikmin away, if they're in your squad and not idling then when the day ends they come with you back to the ship and get put up during the cutscene, so when the nighttime alarm came, you didn't have to do all the stuff you said you did at 2:50 so that means you could get the piece either to the ship, or closer to the ship, as long as you whistle them before the timer hits 0

[@theglasshalffull6958]

When I originally wrote that part in the script I was just kinda relaying my thought process when I first played the game. However very quickly I realized I overcomplicated the entire process but thought I shouldn't add that bit into the video since I thought it would be unnecessary. So don't worry, I realized that fact soon later and didn't do that for all 4 pikmin games

[@ccheart8574]

It always surprises me when people are like "I found the Hocotate ship annoying." When I played it as a kid, and even today, the ship is one of my favorite characters. I love its snark.

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Surprisingly even after 50 minutes, I feel like I missed out on a bunch of crucial details since I got so many comments telling me about them, and it feels like I need to make the video twice as long to really cover everything. But regardless I'm glad did the series justice!

[@blookydoopy4593]

To bring some context to Pikmin 2, the devs were tasked with developing a follow up in just one year (didn't work out and then settled on 3 years) while Miyamoto took on a different project and only oversaw things, and things turned out in a similar way to Majoras Mask. Remixed Content from its predecessor, flipping the gameplay entirely on ity head etc. Its also as controversial as that title, with really hardcore fans swearing by it lol. I grew up with this game, so I ended up loving the challenge, the sort of cynical and dry energy of the story and humor. 3 is also an interesting case with a bunch of weird leftovers or cut content in its files, so it can only be assumed there was a scrapped area or two, probably from the jump of consoles between Wii and Wii U (not to mention the state of Nintendo at that time). Pikmin 4 was so great to see finally come out as a longtime fan because it finally feels like a fully realized entry that doesn't have to suffer due to underperforming hardware or development troubles.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

Now that does make a lot of sense now with Pikmin 2. I originally assumed that the game might've been a little bit rushed but after finding out that Pikmin 1 and 2 came out 3 years apart from one another I then assumed that the developers put all their time into the caves and the overworld areas were an afterthought. I guess it's a little bit of a Mario party situation since the Gamecube had like 4 entries on the gamecube?? But you can tell there was a ton of reused assets from game to game. It's still good to note that Pikmin 2 still turned out very well despite all the setbacks. Now the case around Pikmin 3 actually really surprised me at first but the more I think about it, I see why that may be. I guess my initial thoughts of Pikmin 3 feeling too short and "incomplete" was a bit of a result of having cut content and whatnot. And now that makes me a bit more sorry for Pikmin 3. But again, the end product as a whole is still amazing. Pikmin 4 feels like the complete package and if I was a long-time Pikmin fan, I would feel very satisfied with how that game turned out after a decade of waiting. Thanks for commenting all this developer info! Makes me understand the series a lot more than before!

[@blookydoopy4593]

@@theglasshalffull6958 Yea, the Pikmin Series is no different from the other Nintendo Series with their weird development histories (Splatoon originating from a concept of two blocks of Tofu being probably the funniest example).

The reason the ending in pikmin 3 felt incomplete is because it was. There was an entire scraped area that would lead up to the formidable oak.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

I've had a couple of people tell me that but it's still such a crazy piece of information. Since I imagine the devs weren't in any rush to finish this game so I wonder what about that scraped area made Nintendo think the game was better off without it

[@Aostrele]

It feels weird watching people who aren’t experienced with its tricks and mechanics. I know that I was once bad, but I don’t remember any of it. The ONLY thing I remember from my first playthrough is crying after I lost 50 Pikmin to sunset (only because my parents would tease me for crying in a video game). When Pikmin 3 Deluxe came out, I found it genuinely surprising that my friends had trouble in the Tropical Wilds puzzle segement.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

Well with a game like pikmin it’s kinda hard to pick it up and immediately get used to it since the gameplay is so unique compared to anything else. Like the first time I picked up a Kirby game I got well adjusted to it much more easily since It’s a 2D platformer and it’s hard not to have played a a 2D Mario sometime in your life. This is not to say that pikmin has bad controls tho, it just makes the experience a lot more fun and makes the practice of dandori a much more interesting learning curve than any other game. And god damn your parents are ruthless for making fun of you like that

olimar's story in 4 isnt the same as pikmin 1 at all, because it takes place chronologically after pikmin 3 also it blocks out a final secret place to play until you beat it with the best ending

I know that olimar's story isn't like pikmin 1 at all that wasn't really what I was referring to in the video. But I was moreso talking about ow I knew olimars fate was to turn into a leafling and didn't have time to fully see the process of that. But again, i'll play olimars story and everything else this series has to offer eventually, to truly call myself a Pikmin fan

[@justamicrowave5297]

I liked pikmin before pikmin 4, but once it was announced i really got into it. I played through all of pikmin 3 and started playing pikmin 2 when they released it on switch. I got pikmin 4 the day it released and basically played just that game until I 100%'ed every area, finished every night mission by killing all enemies, finished every side mission, 100%'ed olimars side mission, got every oatchi and captain upgrade, and got platinum in every dandori battle, dandori challenge, and sage leaf trial. It's probably my favorite nintendo series now.

I don't know why you have so few subscribers, nor why this video has so few views. Your way of analyzing is pretty good, and I sweared that I was watching a 100k views video of one of those bigs channels until I saw the actual numbers. I really recommend going back and 100% everything left in 2, 3 and 4, it is worth it and fun I'd say, even more after knowing how to go around the games. Olimar's Shipwreck Tale in 4 is not something that you should play to know how it ends, but just to experience it. It is the same ol' good frustration from Pikmin 1 but more polished. And, I'd really recommend that, after you 100% 2, 3 and 4, you come back and play Pikmin 1 again. Try to grab all 30 pieces once again but as fast or efficient as you can, with all of your newfound knowledge. It should be a good payoff.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

Idk if the game was intended to be played like that.. but I am very glad it is there. But anyway Thank You! Honestly, this video was able to get over 20K views which is quite high for me so I'm already pretty satisfied with the outcome of the video. But the fact that you think that this video deserves even more attention makes me happy since it shows you genuinely like my content which is all I really ask for in the end. Here's to hoping I can become one of those "big channels" soon! I'll 100% return to all of those games in the near future, it is a disservice not to at this point. However, I did tire myself out a bit after playing all those pikmin games in a row so it'll be a little bit until I get to experience the franchise again. Although, I'm interested to see how exactly my opinions will change or stay after becoming more accustomed to the franchise

[@proplaystowin]

Pikmin is awesome, im glad its wasnt thrown onto another failing console Its a nice change of pace Edit: if i were to describe it in 1 word it would be: multitasking

[@theglasshalffull6958]

I wouldn't really say that the 3DS was a "failing" console but having a spinoff on the series that is much different from the usual series would definitely hurt the sales of it quite a bit. And as for Pikmin 3.. I mean they didn't really have much of a choice there since the wii U was doomed from the start. Probably why we got Pikmin 3 deluxe in the first place

Is there a series of videos or a super long stream of you playing? Or is it just a summary of your experience playing?

[@theglasshalffull6958]

ok so I basically recorded all of my footage on my freetime and since it took so much storage out of my PC I've deleted all of it. Maybe I should stream/record all the gameplay next time I do this sort of video tho. I originally thought no one would be interested but maybe not?

[@theglasshalffull6958]

Hey man you don’t have to say it out loud..

[@elainelentz6906]

2 things I would like to say, 1 what did you think about only being able to have only 3 pikmin types out in pikmin 4? And 2, Louie was trying to turn 2 of the kopites into leaflings, and was shocked when it didn’t turn them into leaflings, so that is pretty morally wrong I would say.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

To answer those questions... 1. I didn't REALLY mind that much I guess? Sure it's a little disappointing and tedious to not have every pikmin at your disposal I can see why having the ability to have 9 different pikmin on the field can becoming too mind-numbing. Plus I guess it adds to the strategy a little bit since now you have to optimally choose which Pikmin would be best to use per area/cave (ik you can auto select pikmin but that point still stands. 2. ..yeah I guess your right. Louie may not be a psycho but he can definitely make some... interesting decisions sometimes

[@justamicrowave5297]

@@theglasshalffull6958 Louie (theoretically) tried to kill olimar in pikmin 2, steals all your food in pikmin 3, manipulates a huge, ancient, peaceful, gentle dog into a murderous rampage in an attempt to kill you and your pikmin, likely only keeps pikmin alive because they kill and carry all the creatures he eats, has no concern for the well being of others, is the entire reason for the debt in pikmin 2, and tries to turn innocent people into leaflings likely so that they too can carry around dead creatures and hunt them. I would say he did a little more than make a few interesting decision lol.

[@leightonjeppesen9016]

Much of the reason you don’t like the game I believe is actually due to a lack of understanding the controls. Remember that if you hold down the l button and use the right stick, you can command you army where to go a lot more smoothly, just keep practicing and working on your dandori!

[@theglasshalffull6958]

I had some other people tell me about that feature as well and I had no idea! Going back that will fix a lot of my problems I had with the controls beforehand but I like I said in the video, I learn to love the pikmin series a lot and what it has to offer! Thanks for the words of encouragement!

The ULTIMATE BREADBUG Marathon!

[@arcaneScribbler]

I have the same favorite game ranking list as you. Nice. I liked Pikmin 2 more when I was younger and scared of the time limit, but revisiting them now, I prefer the original over it too.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

Glad you agree! Pikmin 2 is still great but when you stack it against the other games, it just doesn't quite compare to the quality of the others. The time limit in 1 while scary makes the game SO much more engaging and is something that can never truly be recreated in the other entries. Which isn't really a bad thing but makes me appreciate Pikmin 1 that much more

[@arcaneScribbler]

@theglasshalffull6958 yeah! I'm not so big a fan of the randomization and grueling length of the Pikmin 2 caves as an adult revisiting them, but when I was a kid stuck in doing one thing at a time, my playstyle led 2 to be more accessible. I actually played Pikmin and Pikmin 2, the remasters, in the leadup to Pikmin 4 and beat the original for the first time, while finding myself not even wanting to finish 2. 4, though... gosh. My only complaint with 4 is the lack of enemy respawn, really. And I never thought I'd enjoy a strict time limit but I *really* liked Olimar's Shipwreck Tale. I liked getting to opt into the challenge of the time limit when I was ready, and it really felt like a milestone in seeing how skilled I'd actually become! Really, _really_ good stuff, even as the odd one out who isn't that big on the Dandori challenges.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

I never thought about how 2’s gameplay is a lot more linear than pikmin 1’s tbh. But because of the linear caves and 2 captains and whatnot I guess pikmin 2 is a bit more suited for someone who plays more linearly. But pikmin 4 is able to double back on both caves and the ability to divide and conquer since there’s specific sections in caves that force you to play with oatchi or with your avatar. Also crazy that everyone who’ve I talked to that played pikmin 4 usually only has 1 problem with it, in an otherwise amazing game. Just shows you how good pikmin 4 is!

something i ntoiced you did not talk about is 3 abilitys from the previus two games so fist of all in pikmin 1 on switch if you hold the l button and rotate camera you can make pikmin charge or move around way better then pikmin 3,s charge and another ability is the ability for blues to save drowning pikmin if you idle blues near drowning pikmin they willl save them by picken em up and throughing them in random direction and something else is in pikmin 2 the purple pikmin can shock which was removed in pikmin 3 maken them useless and white pikmin have 1 x atack strength can find hidden tressure imune to poisen and can damge enimes when eaten also yellow pikmins bombs can be used to kill enimies and bosses

[@theglasshalffull6958]

There’s no many miscellaneous things about pikmin that I wanted to talk about but would definitely feel like fluff and kinda pointless in the grand scheme of things in the video. Either way tho good observation

[@Eliwho2002]

Little bit sad you missed the cave where you had to bring all blue pikmin into it, or you did do it or just didn't add it to yhe video. But thats where bulbmin would have been the most helpful for you and its one of the best caves in pikmin 2 (in my opinion) but iver all fantastic video!
