''' | '''Randomness''' is the concept of unpredictable outcomes for events. Whenever an aspect of a [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' game]] can have multiple outcomes which are not determined by anything controllable, the result is randomly picked. Sometimes this is constrained by a decimal value or an algorithm the game uses, all designed to make no two instances of the game the same. | ||
