'''Louie''' ({{j|ルーイ|Rūi}}) is a secondary protagonist in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], serving as [[Olimar]]'s partner and co-worker. He first appears in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' – the only game in which he is a [[Leader|playable character]] in [[Story Mode]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', he stays at the [[Koppai]]tes' ship after being saved, twice, and appears as Olimar's partner in [[Bingo Battle]], as well as a playable character in some [[Mission Mode|missions]]. In ''[[Pikmin 3 Deluxe]]'', he once again accompanies Olimar as a second leader in the new [[Side Stories]] mode.

Louie is relatively new to the shipping business and has a ravenous appetite. He was raised by his [[Minor characters#Louie's grandmother|grandmother]], who encouraged him to play with bugs, as well as eat them – an activity he seems to partake while on [[PNF-404]].

==Appearance and personality==
Physically, Louie has a single yellow tuft of hair and light yellow (beige) spacesuit, decorated with blue lines and blue gloves, like Olimar's spacesuit. Unlike Olimar, Louie is slightly lankier, his nose is rounder and slightly smaller, and his head is pear-shaped.
 
Louie is known to have a very ravenous appetite.{{cite quote|Louie has become even more problematic. All he does is nod or shake his head. And yet he consumes three times the amount of food that I do. Not cool, Louie...not cool|Captain Olimar|a [[Olimar's_Log_(Exploration_Notes)#Journal_Entry_#2|Pikmin 3 Olimar's Log]]}}{{cite quote|With Louie's help, we’ve collected a pretty good treasure haul so far. I just wish he’d stop eating every fruit he sees.|Captain Olimar|a [[River#Assignment_Report|Olimar's Assignment Report]]}} He has prepared [[Louie's notes|many recipes]] for creatures on PNF-404, even attempting to eat creatures that may be inedible to his species. His notes on the [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] suggest he wants to start his own cooking show, called "The Insect Gourmet!"{{cite quote|This precious treat is exceptionally rare. I could sell it back at home for a fortune! Then, I could use the cash to upgrade my kitchen, buy galactic-class ingredients, and even star in my own cooking show... The Insect Gourmet!|Louie|[[Iridescent_Glint_Beetle#Louie's_notes|Louie's notes on the Iridescent Glint Beetle]]}} His favorite color is blue.{{cite quote|{{Notes:Decorative Goo/louie}}|Louie|his ''Pikmin 4'' notes for the [[Decorative Goo]]}}
 
Louie is known to be very quiet and apathetic towards efforts he does not value. He does not care about anybody but his grandmother, not even his job – he will often abandon ship and attempt to live on PNF-404 forever, or tamper with valuable delivery cargo. Whenever Louie goes rogue, he has a remarkable tendency to survive and brave through dangerous environments extremely quickly and easily, even to [[Dream Den|the depths of]] [[Cavern for a King|extremely long caverns.]] During [[Olimar's Comeback]], he quietly admits that he prefers solitude on PNF-404 to Captain Olimar's company.{{cite quote|I'm enjoying the solitude.|Louie|[[Looking for Louie]]}}

Line 32: Line 39:
As Olimar and Louie head to the [[Valley of Repose]] at the start of ''Pikmin 2'', Louie falls out of the cockpit, leaving Olimar alone. After making contact with the ship, Louie sets off to return to Olimar at the landing area. On the way, he discovers a [[Red Onion]] and cultivates some Pikmin sprouts, just as Olimar had done when he was stranded in the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]]. The player can control Olimar or Louie, and using the latter, make him reach Olimar through the use of the loyal [[Red Pikmin]]. The two then proceed to retrieve the [[Courage Reactor]], the first treasure of the game, effectively starting the adventure.

The debt is eventually payed off throughout the game, treasures being found in the [[Awakening Wood]] and the [[Perplexing Pool]], as well as the Valley of Repose. After collecting {{pokos|10,000}} worth of treasure, Olimar blasts off from the planet, noticing too late that Louie is left behind.

Olimar and the President of Hocotate Freight return to the planet to find Louie and gather more treasure. Louie aimlessly wanders around the planet for a bit, as seen in the [[credits]] roll of the game. Olimar and the President later find him in the [[Wistful Wild]], hidden deep in the [[Dream Den]], on top of the [[Titan Dweevil]]. They rescue him and send him to the ship's [[Treasure Hoard|treasure hoard]] (since the cockpit is already full), calling him the [[King of Bugs]].

Louie is actually the one responsible for the debt Hocotate Freight suffers. It was truly he who ate the load of golden Pikpik carrots. When he returned from his first mission, he falsified his report to the President, explaining that a "ravenous space bunny" ate all of the carrots. This is revealed in a cutscene, called "Louie's Dark Secret", unlocked by getting a pink flower for all 30 of the [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] levels, which is achieved by completing the stages without losing any Pikmin.

[[File:NotOlimar.jpg|thumb|left|Louie's interrogation.]]
[[File:NotOlimar.jpg|thumb|left|Alph realizing Louie's identity.]]
In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Louie makes his first appearance in a transmission received by the [[Leader|Koppaite explorers]], who mistakenly assume him to be Olimar and set out to find him. After "rescuing" him from [[Scornet Maestro|a swarm of Scornets]], the Koppaites take him back to the [[S.S. Drake]], and the ship labels him "Hocotatian". They then discover he has gone into a forced sleep caused by his suit; when he wakes up, he lands the Drake in the [[Garden of Hope]] while the crew sleeps, and flees, stealing their juice supplies and the [[Captain Charlie|captain]]'s rubber duck in the process.

In the process of fleeing, he manages to blow up a cinder-brick wall thus giving access to the second section of the Garden of Hope. It is currently unknown how he managed to do this.


Later, the Koppaites find Louie in the remains of the [[Quaggled Mireclops]]. They take him back to the ship and tie him up, retrieving the stolen items and interrogating him on the whereabouts of the actual Captain Olimar, once they learn his identity. The [[S.S. Drake]] now labels him "Food Thief". After Rescuing Olimar from the [[Plasm Wraith]], they give Olimar and Louie a lift back to Hocotate. However, after taking off, Alph writes in a note that Louie has gone missing again. Still, the Koppaites do not show much interest in trying to rescue him, as Alph simply says that "I'm sure he will be fine..." He is confirmed to have returned to Hocotate with Olimar in [[Olimar's Comeback]], possibly retconning his second disappearance.

===In Olimar's secret logs===
Louie is featured shortly in each of the expedition logs that the player can unlock by collecting every [[secret memo]]. He is usually seen being ambushed by some enemies, like the [[Peckish Aristocrab]] or some [[Scornet]]s. In the last exploration log, he is seen running away before Captain Olimar gets kidnapped by the [[Plasm Wraith]]. He even said that he had a bad feeling about landing at the [[Formidable Oak]]. He appears to have fled to the Twilight River right after.

There is an unreleased video that was never announced by [[Nintendo]] and was kept as a secret. This one, unlike Olimar's logs, seems to take place during the [[Koppaite]]s' hunt for fruit. In it, he explains how he stole the juice from the leaders and found the [[Wayward Moon]], just before being kidnapped by the [[Quaggled Mireclops]].

Louie is an unlockable character in some [[Mission Mode]] levels, as of the {{date|2|December|2013}} [[Downloadable content|DLC pack]]. Louie is always kidnapped by an enemy, and by carrying him back, the player will be able to play as him. He functions the same as any other character, and has a yellow background for his character icon on the bottom left. When saved, he will say something arrogant, like "Took you long enough!".

Louie is also briefly mentioned on Olimar's notes on the [[Crammed Wraith]]. He says how he wishes Louie was with him, so he could tell with his cooking skills if the creature is actually delicious.

==Personality and appearance==
===''Pikmin 4''===
Physically, Louie has a single yellow tuft of hair and light yellow (beige) spacesuit, decorated with blue lines and blue gloves, like Olimar's spacesuit. Unlike Olimar, Louie is slightly lankier, his nose is rounder and slightly smaller, and his head is pear-shaped.
In {{p4}}, Louie first appears during the credits and unites with [[Moss]]. While originally ordered by the President to find Olimar, he couldn't recall what Olimar actually looked like and quickly lost interest in his assigned task in favor of looking for creatures to eat.  
 
He is known to have a very ravenous appetite, and has prepared [[Louie's notes|many recipes]] for creatures on PNF-404. He is even brave enough to taste creatures that may be inedible to his species in his efforts to widen his cooking recipes. His notes on the [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] suggest he wants to start his own cooking show, called "The Insect Gourmet!"
 
Louie has shown multiple sociopathic behaviors throughout the series, which is mainly played up for drama in the story-lines, but for comedic effect in his cooking notes. In ''Pikmin 2'', it is suggested that Louie controlled the Titan Dweevil that attacked the explorers through its entire fight. In ''Pikmin 3'', Louie steals the entirety of the Koppaite explorers' food supply after being recovered, nearly starving them to death.


==Traits and abilities==
After landing in the [[Giant's Hearth]], the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] encounters Louie and Moss dragging away [[Yorke]], shocking Olimar as he was unaware that Louie was on the planet. After defeating Louie and Moss in [[Dandori Battle]]s in both the [[Giant's Hearth]] and the [[Primordial Thicket]], Louie abandons Moss and flees to the [[Cavern for a King]], pursued by the player deep into the depths despite Louie's assumptions that they will give up and go home. On the final floor of the cavern, Louie challenges the player while riding the [[Ancient Sirehound]] in the final boss encounter of the game. After defeating him, Louie will give the player a series of Side Missions, where the player needs to bring various enemies in caves back to the [[S.S. Beagle]]. For completing all the missions, the player receives the [[Extra Hand]], which lets the player carry objects themselves with the power of one Pikmin.
*As a young boy, Louie's grandmother encouraged him to eat bugs. Because of this, he is able to survive eating the creatures of the Pikmin Planet.
*He has a love of fine cuisine, which drives him to create [[Louie's notes|gourmet recipes]] for beasts on the Pikmin Planet.
*He has all of the same abilities of Olimar, except his [[swarm]]ing sound and [[whistle]] is different. This also goes for the President.
*In ''Pikmin 3'', Louie somehow managed to obliterate half of a cinder block using unknown explosives.

In addition, both games give Olimar an alternate costume with a blue color scheme, resembling Louie's attire. He also appears as a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|sticker]] in ''Brawl''.
