Greetings. I am here thanks to a series of events far too complicated to delve into right now. But if you really want to know, scroll down.
Anyway, the first Pikmin was a game by Dad played to me when I was 4 years old. I loved all the little colours and enemies when I was a kid. When I was 7, I played through and beat the Titan Dweevil in Pikmin 2 at release. I never got 100%. After Pikmin 3 was revealed, I played through Pikmin 2 from the start again and got every treasure in the game.
So I guess you could say, I've been waiting 13 years for this game. And I'm dang excited about it.
Pikmin Ideas
Everyone seems to have some, so I will too.
Story
After being gone for longer than expected, Hocotatatian and Koppaian Rescue Teams are sent to PNF-404. However in a blubbering accident, the Drake and the Rescue Ship collide and Olimar, Louie, Brittany, Charlie, Alph and the rescuers are flung in all directions. The main character in this game is the chief of the rescue team, Trail. Alph, Brittany and Charlie become playable when found.
