Designing Our NEXT Pikmin Type 

What Pikmin type would you like to see in the next game?

Spread the word and shout it out everywhere!!! "MAKE WOOD PIKMIN OFFICIAL" Or whatever you say to make your voice heard...

I think the Wood Pikmin is an underutilized concept and I like the long root arms you gave it, like Groot Also 0:36 those are MY COLORFUL PIKMIN, thats so cool that my Pikmin made it in a cool video

While not as flashy, I’d love to see the existing Pikmin get ability revamps/variants in the future

I kinda like the idea of a claw pikmin, probably specializing in attacking vines, having not only a unique gate but a unique bridge too, also being good at holding on to enemies (taking multiple shakes to get flinged off) perhaps being good at collecting some sort of collectible (like grass)

Raggins: i'm bad at drawing the drawing: looking like official concept art for a real pikmin type

if there was a wood pikmin, i think they should have a wood toy design. they would be around the player and be strong, but they would die faster than normal pikmins. They could attack a bit faster but they wouldn't be able to be thrown far. they would be like little robots!

Love the content Raggins! The first idea that comes to mind for me is the bean pikmin that were concepted in Pikmin 3. Maybe they can reappear as brown pikmin who look like coffee beans and they build stuff way faster.

Yo i have a genius idea (maybe) i think that wood pikmin, when in contact with water will expand but not in a positive way, the pikmin will become sluggish and would needed to be dry by either fire or being left out in the sun in hot area.

LETS GO NEW RAGGINS VID

Wood Pikmin should be able to float on water! Probably not carry stuff over water, just able to move over it

Congratulations on sticking with it to the end, it was really nice to see the process. Good stuff with the video editing, story telling, and of course the art. Also that was a nice message of doing something, creating something, anything. My take away is that I should be making more winged Pikmin Infla....

I came up Green and Bugged Pikmin.

Omg!! Thank you for featuring my art!!! :D

i needed that ending speech lol

Bro thank you SO MUCH for using my art! Your original picture of wood pikmin is crazzzyyy good! Shading is pretty hard!

I want a green pikmin that can use its large leaf and hands to create wind, larger the group bigger the wind. This can blow enemies away, and steer lilypads across bodies of water, and knock things over to solve puzzles! Also, the metal pikmin. These pikmin are resistant to lasers and bomb rock, and are very rare. They also do not get blown away by wind, and get attracted or repelled by magnets to solve puzzles.

3:35 I like to believe those pikmin are the ones taking over the bulb orbs in pikmin 2

Random ideas: - Wood pikmin get fried by electricity like pikmin 2 pikmin. This is because presumably the outer wood they are coated in is dry and they essentially combust. - wood pikmin are thrown at a much shorter distance than other pikmin, in order to give them more downsides and to make other pikmin like reds still useful in combat, perhaps explained by their awkward shape. - wood pikmin take longer to get up after being stunned due to being awkwardly shaped pieces of wood - wood pikmin are resistant to fear such as from the roars of emperor bulblax since their woody armor makes them much bolder than other types

Magnet pikmin is my idea for a pikmin It can be used for magnetic themed puzzles such as Pulling metal,Sticking to ceilings and walls,Becoming a bridge by sticking together Its attack would stick to metal enemies and would be explosive resistance. The problem with most pikmin ideas are they are rather not useful, unrealistic to program, or makes other pikmin irrelevant. The magnet pikmin surpasses these resections

I remember thinking Pikmin 4 would never release, then seeing the trailer I was so happy, now we might even get a Pikmin 5 which is super amazing! ❤ great video!

A balance for how strong the wood pikmin are would be to have them need two or three sips of nectar to be fully flowered. Either one sip for each leaf or one sip for the top and one for both hands.

Lovely work, found you from the gunhadahun video and I'm glad I did. Keep it up!

New raggins video and Shrimpalotl video in the same day!😮😱

Very good video. Wood pikmin is really neat. The message was really nice.

I just wanted to say you’re fantastic at drawing, and I would love seeing more custom designs from you!

I Made a wood pikmin out of clay. What pikmin should I make next?

Love the content i just cant beleive that i thought of all these things that wood pikmin could do and then you did it.

A pikmin idea Ive had locked and loaded for years is a thorny pikmin. Not the most original but hear me out. Thorny pikmin are dark green, have a rose instead of a normal flower, and are covered in sharp bristles. This causes most enemies (the ones that chew) to be damaged slightly while eating, along with being harder for enemies to shake off. The drawback is that plucking and throwing them is much slower than other pikmin, due to the thorns that cover the stem.

Idea for shadow Pikmin, based off the art; Olimar mentions in his files on Ice, Rock, and Bulbmin that they’re parasitic variants of Pikmin that have taken control of chunks of ice, stones, and dwarf bulborbs respectively, right? So maybe Shadow Pikmin can be the mature version of a parasitic Pikmin without a host. It won’t be used for hazards, persay, but instead given a unique ability; to parasitize enemies that try to eat them. Basically, feeding enough Shademin to a Bulborb allows them to fully take it over, allowing you to then control the Bulborb like any other Pikmin (of course being unable to throw it, but it can be directed the same as Oatchi). Enemies will behave similarly to the nearest Pikmin type (like swooping snitchbugs will act like flying Pikmin, water dimples act like blue Pikmin, etc etc) and for the rest of the day/cave, you’ll be able to use the controlled enemy. At the end of the day or when exiting a cave, the Shademin will re-emerge from the fallen enemy, using its corpse to repair their bodies and rejoining your team as normal Pikmin until being sent in to take over another enemy. This does, however, mean you can’t collect the enemy’s body to produce other Pikmin types. You also can’t take over already-slain enemies or enemies that don’t eat Pikmin (like the man at legs or water wraith). A bit complex maybe, but I think it’d be really fun to mess around with, and could give the player access to areas or treasures they normally wouldn’t have access to (like early flying-only treasures and such)

I think some sort of pikmin that covers the ice niche of ice pikmin but to a lesser degree and is more common would be pretty cool, kinda like how rocks are way more common than purples but aren't as good at being heavy hitters or heavy lifters

Love the wood Pikmin idea! Here’s some other ideas: Rose Pikmin - green Pikmin with a rose bud instead of leaf on its head and also has thorns all over its body. Doesn’t do the most damage in combat, but has the advantage of staying alive one time when an enemy tries to eat the rose Pikmin, but immediately gets spit out due to its thorns. Orange Pikmin - orange fruit shaped Pikmin that does the second best damage out of all Pikmin with its acidity punches, but if an enemy eats this Pikmin they regain health due to the delicious fruity orange Pikmin; risk and reward gameplay 😃

Very cool concept!

Woah, didn't expect the shout out, especially from someone I'm a fan of! The Wood Pikmin has a great design and the hard work is evident. I'd enjoy seeing more. Plus, as you may have found out, Pikmin design is really fun!

Orange Pikmin might be interesting if more thought upon. Maybe some sort of Magma Pikmin where they are immune to explosives but also unique environmental hazards like magma or smth, where they can slide across the top of it similar to Ice Pikmin. And yes I know we do not have magma nor lava in Pikmin, but I was thinking we already had caves exclusive to a Pikmin type or two, but the cave could make you only bring in fire but then find the magma Pikmin within the cave or what not. But anyways, I’m no Nintendo so.

I like the wood pikmin

Silver still has potential…

6:42 we don’t talk about attempt the attempt 4

Can’t wait!

i like how he exploded the explosion resistant pikmin

Before this video, I had 3 different custom pikmin types: black pikmin, green pikmin and brown pikmin. The black pikmin are my newest pikmin type I’ve come up with, so I still don’t know what abilities I should give it. Currently, I’m thinking of them having an immunity to ink and also giving them glow cap mushrooms for leaves. Green pikmin can grow nursery plants fast, and they can also be ordered to pluck pikmin sprouts (very slowly) for you. Brown pikmin can dig holes in mud and also can mold clay pieces into structures like climbing walls or bridges, sort of like the raw material.

Shadow pikmin idea: it might be cool if they are able to invisible and can sneak past enemies

Your idea for the wood Pikmin reminds me of this idea I had for “thorn / cactus pikmin” They don’t have arms, they’re combat based, not carrying based, they do damage the same way rock pikmin do where they do instant damage instead of cling on, they CAN carry stuff but only if it’s weight of 1, by sticking it on a spike, I actually drew them if you’d like to see, their abilities were that they do damage if crushed and are eaten slowly, so if they’re eaten alongside a red, you have more time to save them

Great video it really made my day

Sap pickmin could make a great use of the amber orange color If sap was a secondary hazard(that made mins very slow,) they wouldn't be effected. They could even go through sap gunked obstacles and pipes with ease As for combat? Being eaten would make the monsters chewing on them slower, with enough even gumming up their mouthes entirely. If you killed them fast enough, they could even be 'juiced' back out after It would be an interesting more beginner friendly kind of pikmin with still some vulnerabilities, unlike the glow pikmin who were immune to every hazard

they should make a pikmin that makes you money. like when it dies it drops a gold piece or every one made is worth something

i really like how your pikmin turned out but i just cant stop to imagine if its body was, like rock pikmin body, just a acorn

I think if they make a new pikmin type it'll probably be orange, because in the true ending to pikmin 1 you see lots of different colors of onions, and the only one that hasn't been made into a pikmin type yet is orange. It's not much, but it makes sense. To me, at least.

I just got a red pikmin plush.

Wow, you such a good motivational speaker bro. Life is just a book, and we r the main character of it! Like my poem lol. Ur motivational speech alw reminds me of my own poetry idk y.

Fun fact: the bean pikmin is a place holder for the glow pikmin

i'm super excited

Shadow pikmin could be an enemy pikmin type that doesn't listen to the whistle and attacks the player's pikmin.

This Pickman could’ve been the pigment in the mud

I like the fanmade steel one c:

My idea for brown pikmin would be Mud Pikmin. I was thinking of a pikmin that has an ability that we haven’t seen yet, and my mind went to a turret. Mud Pikmin can be deployed and shoot mud balls at enemies for a ranged attack, dealing a small amount of damage. If the player throws the Mud Pikmin at an enemy, it won’t do damage but it’ll blind the enemy instead. To compensate it can be weaker, since it’s not a solid pikmin so 2 Mud Pikmin would equal the strength of 1.

Shadow Pikmin could be a mimic if you leave Pikmin planted overnight

Love your vids!

Wow!

The wood pikmin float like ice

Maybe a teal Pikmin with projectiles!

I’m glad to be a New coming Pikmin fan this is very fun to enjoy a lot, I would like to see anything new for these goofy little critters because it really does seem like Nintendo was just like “Y’know f*ck it give these guys any body shades and functions” with their concept arts I’ve made my own Pikmin themselves once before and here are they all are concept wise: *Inkmin:* A Pikmin made up of dark ink Very heavy and doesn’t really get thrown far but can cause enemies to get stuck in the ground for a while Color: Black Size: Big Damage: x1.0 *FireWork Pikmin:* A Pikmin with rocket powered energy can be thrown very high and instantly dive and home in on enemies with a mini explosion at the end, Has a FireWorks like Rocket instead of a leaf (This was made before I knew Pikmin 251 existed) Color: Orange Size: Small Damage: x1.0 Explosion Damage: x1.7 *Goolin:* A Pikmin and Goolix wet parasite merged together can be thrown slightly better than red Pikmin and can stretched their own bodies for Pikmin to climb on their arms or legs, Has No eyes replaced with the Based like Orb inside of Goolix, Has the hard ball instead of a leaf Color: Water Size: Big Damage: x0.7 *Hairy Pikmin:* A Fluffy Pikmin covered up with lots of hair can be thrown very high and can float down with ease and blown into the wind Color: White/Grey Size: Small Damage: x0.5

It can be any color but what would be cool is like a slime or mud pikmin. It can fit into tight spaces and cufuse enemies but it is weak to water

where'd you find the image at 0:37?

I hope we gat all of them, but maybe the bean pikmin are these green parasites that take control of other creatures and are also responsible for the existance of bulbmin.

You’re still a pretty good artist!

Aqua pikmin and Gray pikmin

I feel like if they’re going to make a new type, it better be cool concept then just being a new type immunity as I feel like that’s very redundant. Many of my types concepts use old concept, art as a basis for my ideas. My guess, for whatever they’re going to do next is probably a reworked version of Pikmin 3 concept, art design, most likely green bean or slime. Edit: I feel like you were going somewhere, the idea of a wood Pikmin has so much potential when I think about it, what if it immune to slime? what if it could plant in the ground using its feet? What if you can grow these Pikmin with seeds Pikmin? A sap tree seems amazing as you get the tree and slime everyone wants. However, I will say it was a bit lacklustre with the ideas for it and a tiny bit of the design, I hate to be rude because this is your first but focussing on the arms doesn’t seem that interesting for a tree pikmin, what if it could shed nectar? What if it had multiple stems because of branches? Five strength, and five weight, because of it being a tree? So yeah, I like the potential, it’s just not my favourite concept of a new type. Good first drawing though.

To make black pikmin to work, I would make a whole new world associated with gloom. (btw i chose orange pikmin to be immune to gloom

theres been pikmin based of of colour and objects like wing rocks and ice but I think it would be cool if there were pikmin based off of height

make tree obstacles that need the wood pikmin to get past

Silver pikmin: ballmin. Metal marbles, their charge is a stampeding bull. It can’t be stoppe, unless if killed. Basically, if they hit an enemy it gives both a concussion. It’s the same as a rock pikmin

Raggin question Idk if you can say it but what is the name of the animation in this second? 0:30

My idea for green pikmin is that they are an pikmin that can only move on water or overall slippery surfaces being based on algae’s having the advantage of having the hability to locate treasures and can create smoke clouds to confuse the enemy being they’r main defense in the land having good damage wen they attack

They should make a parasite Pikmin. It would be green and lanky. When it gets eaten it takes over the body of the majority of the non boss enemies .

I literally made a sculpture of a shadow Pikmin out of oven, clay, and my thought was that it would be in the night expedition, but it would only spawn when a Glow Pikmin dies

My idea for a Pikmin species was Evolved Pikmin or “Evo Pikmin” In the overworld there are some enemies that have a golden aura that can be used to create new variants of Pikmin enhanced species when fed into a Onion Evo Red have thorny bodies and a bright flower, Evo Red are very strong and deadly if eaten which cause fire damage and can resist lava terrain Evo Yellow have wide ears with a lightning bolt earlobe that when they are thrown fly much farther and cause a electrical stomp when land and paralyze enemies when eaten with the benefit of walking on electric charged floors Lastly Evo Blue have a separate second stem as a tail which allows them to swim in fast water and survive freezing temperatures and if eaten they can slow them down significantly

Dark pikmin can depend on how many pikmin die during the day is the amount of dark or evil pikmin appear at night

Hey this pickmin reminds me of one I thought of very similar the springmin is a grey spring his spring body allows him to dab high up things (not too high) even if you miss he also grows up to get an enemy’s weak spot usually the eyes however that’s all there is to it Alsace I notice pickmen are introduced in pairs of two so you could’ve picked two of the top 3 :)

I had the same idea but instead it has this wood armor and it takes three hits from a enemy to break the wood and the only way the wood can recover is by going in the onion

Now where gonna need someone to put this in the game, and make custom enemys for the wood pikmin and custom levels for the wood pikmin as a mod

Buggeds Pikmin type is good and cool

Great video as always Raggins, but do you have the right to use Xenoblade music despite never playing the game?

Rip Green pikmin. Got sniped by an unknown person.

Me personally I think it could like use it's arms like a fan and blow away enemies

You gave me the idea to make the steel pikmin It uses its magnet head to move heavy objects with a strength of 20 (but it can only move metal objects) its stem is split in 2 and comes together to make the leaf

Cloud pikmins

Black can be useful for blinding enemies or bosses since it's just dark😐

maybe for the steel pikmin it could be some kind of knight pikmin dealing high damage and taking a bit to eat cause its made out of metal but in turn it cant latch onto enemies and pick up most items considering it has blades for hands it would die faster to water and fire cause water rusts metal and fire melts metal i could see magnets countering steel pikmin not killing them but getting them stuck until the magnet loses power or something so in summary steel pikmin deal high damage cant latch onto enemies nor pick up objects die faster to water and fire and get trapped by magnets. if you wanna give feedback feel free to reply to give some

“Do your own taxes!” Nah

I think for the bean pikmin the first few hits the creature is paralized.

Shadow could possess enemies that get attacked by them, with the same health, damage, and speed as the enemy, with the downside being that at the end of the day/cave, the enemy gets unpossessed, and only certain enemies can get possessed.

You should give the explosion Pikmin scarves and boom marks all over them

Attempt two for the wood pikmin like was good saw for attempt three

I think the steel pikmin in my opinion should win imagine your a a cave no pikmin can go over the metal fence and the steel pikmin morphs into it then goes to the over side then to grab a bolt like or anything thats metal what do they do? Well they morph into it and give it legs abilities: can morph through metal and carry metal thats worth 5 purple pikmin and .are excellent diggers like white pikmin in pikmin 2 and are really fast thats why i think they should get picked out in my opinion

W o o d P i k m i n

Can someone tell me what the image name of the part where it's showd the rows of colorfull pickmin I want to see all the pickmin on there

Woooooooooooooooood pikmin

Orange pikmin had its onion showed in pikmin 1.

0:36 what is that art give me link pls
