Louie's family

A mail from Louie's grandmother.

Louie's only known family members are his grandmother and father. Near the end of Pikmin 2, the same e-mails are repeatedly received from his grandmother; they say:

Louie, we suddenly stopped hearing from you! Everything OK? If things get tough, you can always come home. I'll stock up on those Pikpik carrots you love.

The only way to stop the repeating emails is to rescue Louie from the Dream Den. After that, she will send different messages every once in a while. She is only seen through these e-mails, so it is impossible to meet her. She mentions Louie's father in other e-mails, saying that Louie should visit him when he returns to Hocotate.

Louie's family (at least his grandmother and himself) seem to be fond of cooking and eating bugs. Louie's grandmother likes to send him samples of her bug foods, a fact which she alludes to in some of her messages.

An aunt is mentioned in one e-mail from the President: apparently Louie's aunt left some cookies, and the President ate them all. Some believe that Louie's grandmother seen in the emails, is in fact his aunt.
