Hello there I'm lettucecow! I just love the pikmin franchise! I first saw the pikmin series on a youtuber called chuggaconroy's Let's play of the game. It looked so awesome I got the first 2 games in the series and I just got pikmin 3!
Ever since Pikmin 3 came out I've been thinking about pikmin 4 I got a LOT of ideas its sorta like what I would want in a pikmin game like my perfect pikmin game or something, I'll share some of my ideas with you.
Plot
Ever since hocotate frieght got filthy rich from all the treasure they collected they have been more and more succesful thanks to all the spare pokos. Other shipping companies are very jealous and use their spaceships to fly to the pikmin planet to steal all the remaining treausure from hocotate freight. When the president gets word of this he goes with Louie and Olimar to stop the other companies from stealing their treasure. They crash land and louie gets blown out of the cockpit and the president and olimar land in a rainforest area that has a blue union in a lake there. Once they collect all the treasure in the rainforest area they begin to walk out but then an enemy company employee comes running away from a huge wollywog. The president and Olimar save him and fly off to a desert like region that had signals of louie in. They find a red union and orange onion there.They follow the signal to a huge blowhog chasing louie around. They kill the beast and save louie. Then they get a signal of an enemy company employee in a ruined city area and fly off to steal the treasure for themselves.They find a yellow union and black onion there. Once they find all the treasure they prepare to fly off to another area but a enemy company employee comes running with a giant robotic spider behind him. The employee is holding a remote control and makes the beast attack Olimar. When they kill the beast it explodes knocking the enemy company employee into the sky. They then set out to a moutain region after getting a signal of an enemy company employee there. They find a rock pikmin union and brown pikmin onion there. When they find all the treasure an enemy company employee comes running away from a huge bulbear. The bulbear swallows the employee and Olimar kills the beast and it throws up the employee and he runs away.When they are flying up for the night they get a signal of another enemy company employee ontop of the trees and land there. They find a winged pikmin onion there. When they get all the treasure a giant snitchbug comes carrying an enemy company employee. They kill the beast and the employee runs away. They get a big signal from the enemy companys boss in a dark cave and land there to steal away the treasure.They find white and purple candypop buds here. After you collect all the treasures in the cave a cutscene happens where you see the enemy company's boss getting captured by a goo-like creature. Olimar and the others follow the signal to the boss and find the creature that is a mix of the waterwraith and the plasm wraith. After they defeat the monster it explodes into blue and yellow goo. The enemy company's boss is dropped from the goo. along with a giant gold brick.

A huge area ontop of trees. Treasures based on plants are found here. There are many interconnecting branches in this area.

If a pikmin fell off...I don't want to think about the fall it'll have.

Final area of the game. Treasures based on lighting and tools are found here. It is very dark in this cave, if a pikmin was to get seperated from the the group...it would certainly be chore to find it...not to mention all the brutal and vicious creatures here. They all seem to gigantic and agitated. If a I left a pikmin behind here at sundown....I shudder to think of the creatures that would persue it....

[Leaving a cliffhanger for pikmin 5 :P]
New Features!
New Pikmin
Black pikmin- If you have more then 20 black pikmin in your party you can choose to keep working through the night because they emit a terrible scent keeping most nocturnal predators away. Also immune to being left behind and will be found at the landing site the next day if left behind.
Power: average
Mobility: average, as fast as a flowerd white pikmin at night
immunity: Being left behind
notes- It emmits a terrible scent, if you have more then 50 black pikmin in your party all enemies that kill pikmin by eating them won't come anywhere near the pikmin party but if you start attacking the enemy because of the scent it will be agitated and eat pikmin twice as rapidly and will shake pikmin off much more rapidly. They have dark purple flowers
Brown Pikmin: Have claws used for digging up treasures and attacking. There claws are heavy so they move slowly.
power: can slash enemies with their claws, between red pikmin and purple pikmin in power.
mobility- slow
immunities: can use thier claws as a shield which makes them immune to explosions and projecticles such as fire from a firey blowhog.
notes: Can dig up treasures 2x as fast as yellow pikmin. They have yellow flowers.
Orange Pikmin: Have bright yellow eyes, can locate enemies and treasures in pitch dark. They have thorns on there leaves,buds, and flowers.
power: same as red pikmin, if thrown at an enemies legs orange pikmin will latch on and stick their thorns in the enemies legs causing it to fall down stunned leaving it open to attack.
mobility: average
immunity: getting crushed, there thorns on thier flowers hurt the enemy when they are crushed, causing the enemy to fall down stunned leaving the orange pikmin unscathed.
Notes: Could this be a new evolution of red pikmin? This theory seems rather likely because they have red tips on thier feet and hands. They even have white flowers just like red pikmin! Further reaserch is needed.
New hazards
Quicksand traps- Only found in bulborb mountains and scorching desert .A huge hole in the ground that sucks pikmin up. Similar to the sand traps made by the sandbelching meerslug.Could this be the work of some sort of larva? Further study on this theory is needed.
Whirlpool traps- Only found in Drip Drop Forest. They suck any pikmin that is in the water up. May be a work of a undiscovered spieces of jellyfloat. Further study is needed.
Thats pretty much all the ideas I have now! I'll update this profile as I get new ideas :P
