Hey I'm Flamsey and I'm a HUGE Pikmin fan! I know a lot about the lore from this series and I love everything about these games. On my channel, I'll usually discuss Pikmin mysteries, lore, and speculate about future Pikmin games and media. Oh, and I'm on the hunt for Pikmin lost media!
Possibly the onions are just a fully developed version of a Pikmin my theory is that the Pikmin when they grow old they become rounder lose their eyes and other defining features like nose ears or mouth then grow legs and the type of Pikmin equals the kind of onion it is supported by all the onions having a flower what's the most mature version of a Pikmin we ever see a flowered Pikmin this would make sense as it would make a full life cycle for the Pikmin and you may be wondering why aren't there just onions everywhere well very few Pikmin probably make it to this stage I feel like this would be pretty cool as Pikmin instead of becoming too old to be useful they become onions candy pop buds though they're most likely just some kind of parasitic plant
@@flamsey then I would recommend looking through the companies employee list and former employees from around the time frames Pikmin space force would have been developed. Like with Every lost media it’s finding and contacting, until you find the right person.
What if the stone creature and the pikmin have a symbiotic relationship where it turns the Pikmin to planted flowers and then, if given enough time to grow, the planted pikmin flowers turn into the flowers that can turn pikmin into different colors using their own energy, which is why these flowers die if used a lot, and if those flowers are left to grow they eventually develop into onions? I also thought ab the possibility that the onions turn into the stone creatures but the egg/smoky progg kinda throw a rench into that theory. Given the marking though I don’t think it’s impossible
I have to say that I think it’s humorous that there were a ton of people that wanted hey pikmin to not be canon but there’s stuff hey pikmin did that pikmin 4 brought back (like white and purple pikmin having onions and sparklium) and that now if any game feels like there’s so much a ton weird shit going and nothing makes any sense and it should be non canon it’s mainline pikmin 4. I just find that very funny
I disagree, the more insane is a character, the more i get attached to it. While i hate louie for being a pain in the @$$, i still like that that character was made extremely unstable.
Nice video bro The only reason why I don't believe it is because of the way Olimar talks about the Pikmin in the intro cutscene like if he just met them for the first time, aswell as the addition of the dog (Moss screwed up the possibility of that cutscene being just Pikmin 1), he even describe why he named them 'Pikmin'. There's also the Shipwreck Tale, basically a retelling of Pikmin 1 (but with the dog as a plus) until Olimar crashes and is turned into a leafling (which them proceed for the rest of the story in Pikmin 4). And that's why your theory doesn't work for me, if Pikmin 4 is the first time Olimar crashed (given his reaction), and he couldn't return to Hocotate, this means Pikmin 2 didn't happened yet, because Olimar never discovered about the treasures in PNF-404 in Pikmin 1 and never warned the president about it. Like, in Pikmin 2 the rest of Hocatate discover PNF-404 because of the treasures Olimar bring back, while in Pikmin 4 they only know about it because Olimar is lost. My only theory for why this happens is just... Nintendo being Nintendo and forgetting continuity, really disappointing, honestly. I think originally Pikmin 4 was going to be a straight up sequel from where Pikmin 3 left off, this would explain why some details points to it, but the project sitted for so long they just decided to reintroduce the series to new players and reboot it as a new universe (probably the same thing that happened twice with the Star Fox franchise, unfortunately). The only thing I hope is that Nintendo finally gives continuity in this new setting, it would be a great chance to remake Pikmin 2 and 3 with an even greater plot than they had originally (I think this can happen given the references made in 4 to 3 and 2). Sorry for bad english grammar, me not native speaker.
maybe mumutas have some plant like abilities because when they crush pikmin so maybe that pearl gives them that ability 9:16 actually since they could all be connected maybe mamutas pikmin and candy pop buds just give life to things also this could be some form of life force also explains the pearl in the prog 12:09
GOOD LORD NINTENDO if you're so concerned about newcomers just have your games have story recaps, throw in a free manga explaining past events, or have the past games be fully playable in a game's extras menu (game probably could sold even more if it was four games for the price of one anyway). I don't know, anything better than playing with your timelines like a kitten with a ball of yarn.
Brittany is racist, stereotyping and also tortured Louie. He though he was kidnapped and ran away, so she tied him up and left him to float nonstop for many days.
my theory is that pikmin are actually seeds. A pikmin planted long enough will eventually turn into a candypop bud, and then finally an onion, hence why the mamuta are considered the lords of pikmin, because they allow uprooted pikmin to travel and then be replanted elsewhere, for example the red onion is found in the only place a mamuta can spawn in pikmin 1
I think the whole situation is just a result of Nintendo’s haphazard and loose approach to things, the timeline is likely linear, Pikmin 1, 2, 3 then 4. but Nintendo is kinda inconsistent on whether or not they like clear continuity in their games, sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. There’s likely multiple people working on each game with wildly different views on this stuff, which would be the cause of the inconsistency and vague non-answers.
i like to imagine that pikmin 4 takes place in a diverging timeline, where if olimar crashes in the Impact Site, it goes 1 -> 2 -> 3. but if he crashes in the sun speckled terrace we get 4 and potentially the other future games. i always wanted to see what happens after olimar's comeback in 3. maybe I could make a fangame about it if I knew how to code.
Think about Nintendos motivations, all those references to 2 are just references, and in thinking about Nintendos motives what other reason would that Louie log exist? Just to confuse the player? Thats stupid, theres also an Olimar log acting like 2 didnt happen yet too what other reason would that exist why would Nintendo put that in
