Pikmin Bloom Is Doomed 

I once made my pikmin walk for 2 weeks to get me a lemon

I enjoy Pikmin Bloom just to see what my steps were that day. The map also shows every area I have visited by foot highlighted in green. I find the gameplay aspect not so special. They could had really made this game close to how the actual games are. Instead of your pikmin wearing treasure from gifts, they just find treasure instead. They should of had raids like Pokemon Go where you get certain treasures from defeating enemies based on its star rank. The higher the rank the better the treasure and the more, but easier for your pikmin to be wiped out. Your pikmin will permanently die, and you will need to grow new ones. Instead of bulbs your pikmin will gather pellets and enemies like in the actual game to rebuild. The more places you visit the more resources you can obtain. And I guess you can get more storage for your pikmin by micro transactions or earning by planting flowers, but maybe also the raids and whatever your treasure is worth. And Dandori Battles, I guess it can be like how gyms are in Pokémon Go.

Of course the moment I get a phone good enough to play pikmin bloom the game is dying

So, you could call it Pikmin in doom?

The blue pikmin on his way to get a gift (its on the other side of the world):

I think you underestimated Pikmin Bloom's strengths AND weaknesses. When I play Pokémon Go, I find Pokémon I've seen anywhere else, gyms I've seen anywhere else, and stops I've seen anywhere else. When I play Pikmin Bloom, I put conscious thoughts to where I'm going. There's a park and a library here, but I could walk past this pizza joint, and I analyze the regions of my town. Pokémon Go also punishes players for not being in areas with high Pokéstops, where Pikmin Bloom is more generous about where you play despite the rewards it grants in specific areas. Pikmin Bloom's coin system, however, is atrocious. I go on a walk and get two coins. I pop a Pokémon at a gym and get fifty at the end of the day. And a Pikmin expansion costs over twice as much as a Pokémon expansion. Now add Ice Pikmin so I have a reason to walk to that park and pizza parlor and library. I already got everything and I don't have reasons to visit them again.

The best thing to come from Pikmin Bloom is all the decor Pikmin, which fans have already ripped from the files and postes online, so people can use the funny costumes and add them to mods and stuff. :)

categorising pikmin as a 'Deformed RTS' is the funniest way to describe the series i've seen

I think pikmin bloom is more of a walk then play at home than pokemon gos play outside

I bloom daily with my friends. I'm a real bloom enjoyer. A real 26-year-old bloomer, if you will. I have over 600 confirmed pikmin.

“i remember when mushrooms took 5 minutes on average to defeat” “ok grandma let’s get you to bed”

Tbh Pikmin Bloom and Pokemon Go are not the same Pokemon Go is like: "hey kid, i know it's 3AM but go to the local park, there's a Woobat and a Cherrim for you to catch" Meanwhile Pikmin Bloom is like: "It looks like you walked from your school to your house and planted 500 flowers; as a reward, here's a yellow pikmin with a bottle cap for your squad"

Pikmin Blooms potential is NOT lost media because it was never found in the first place

As someone who played pikmin bloom since day 1 I quite like it, it got me motivated to walk my dog more often but I feel it got more potential be a lot better I saw dev interview for the game and they said the reason why there no pikmin enemies in bloom is because it aimed for a causal audience and I feel that this catering to causals is really holding it back

Is this the "Brand new crossover with Pikmin and Doom" I keep hearing about?

I wish there were enemies. Pikmin them selfs are cool but in a vacuum are just kind of boring? What makes Pikmin is the world it’s self.

Pikmin on your iPad, it's called Pikmin Bloom

bloom isn't particularly deep in any way, but i enjoy checking in for 5-10 minutes a day as a breather from work. i find it much more relaxing than pokemon go, but that might just be a personal thing. i like naming pikmin after whatever i'm doing/working on at the time i pluck it, so i have pikmin with names like "sinus infection" and "photogeologic map of the perseverance rover field site". i don't know why there isn't a character limit, but i love it.

I love Pikmin Bloom! My Pikmin don't die in this one! And I can name them whatever I want! Devious Jim is my favorite, he is a white Pikmin with a mitten on his head, I love him so much!

Pikmin bloom never played it but my brother talks about it sometimes the fact that there is no swear filter for naming your Pikmin is quite a funny thing I can't believe you can name your Pikmin literally anything stupid or not it is so funny to here the fucked up names he has given his Pikmin

i have a rock pikmin with a cool hat his name is wario

Even just adding enemies, even without combat and JUST the piklopedia, would be incredible. Imagine collecting dropped data files containing entries, or maybe actual treasures w/ entries, after exploring a new area.

Pikmin Bloom is something you play until you unlock all pikmin types, and then forget about it :/ I check it out every now and then

I think pikmin bloom is pretty fun to use every once in a while, I just don't see why they haven't added ice and glow pikmin

As someone who lives near 11 theme parks, and an airport... i get funny plane pikmin 😊

ummm but have you seen the latest cheese-themed event???

Idk about anyone else but I loved pikmin bloom, even though I’ve grown up with pikmin. Maybe it’s because I understand the need for simplicity for what they wanted to do? But I love it. The simplicity makes it easy to log on every day without feeling overwhelmed.

I play it nearly daily.

I don't think Pikmin Bloom is going anywhere. Especially since it has more downloads than all other pikmin games combined. I'm sure one day they'll take it off the app store but nowadays is rarer to find a mobile game that isn't eventually removed.

Pikmin bloom tip: BLOOD WILL MAKE YOU STRONGER

It's weird seeing GameCube Pikmin footage because I'm wondering how you could allow your Pikmin to die to poison, but then I remember that you can't just point at them and whistle like you can on the wii.

As someone who recently got back into pikmin bloom i can agree with the monetization its really annoying but other than that i love the game and it gives me a reason to touch grass. Also the game isn't just getting flowers they are adding events and new decor pikmin like all of the time shaking my head smh.

I'd care about them adding Geraniums if you could actually keep the geraniums. But Geranium nectar is a consumable that you use to get a chance at getting LESS geranium nectar. I can put it on a Pikmin, but the pikmin will become a leaf again at 4 am. I can plant Geraniums, but they'll despawn in a week. So my only options are to hold onto nectar that I'll never use, or petals that I'll never use. If there was a piklopedia, I'd at least have a checkmark saying "Yeah, good job! You acquired this rare flower at one point" Preferably also with a number tracking how many of that flower I'd planted because now I have a number that goes up when I use these consumables. My other issue with bloom is like, I was walking down Daytona Beach, one of the most famous beaches in America, the tide was low, so the game was literally telling me I was in the Atlantic Ocean. Every 3 minutes I'd have to put my phone in my pocket because the sun was causing it to overheat. Every single seedling I saw that day was streetside. Even the ones that were further into the ocean than I was. If I can't get beach pikmin by going to the beach, then how am I supposed to collect decor pikmin? Also, for some reason my phone would turn off bloom if it fell asleep, so I couldn't just put it into my pocket and walk around if I wanted to get seedlings or plant flowers.

As a major Pikmin fan, here's what I would change about the app: - I actually really like the Piklopedia, so I would add that and a treasure guide. Let me find treasures for coins, darn it! Or at least collect them for funny descriptions. Bonus points if you can choose between trading them in for coins, or using them to decorate favored Pikmin. I'm all for player agency. - Flowers. Just walking around them is too simple. Have it so that Pikmin run back and forth and give it nectar. That way, you have to choose between spending it on blooming big flowers, or your Pikmin for petals. Immediate resource management appeal, and giving the player some choice. - Enemies. Half the fun of Pikmin is deploying your squad against the dangers of the wild. Give me some Bulborbs to squash, Burrowing Snagrets to smash, and drag their carcasses back to convert into nectar. Tap the screen and fling Pikmin at them! - Ice and Glow Pikmin, darn it! Bring back Bulbmin! Heck, give me some app exclusive Pikmin as an excuse to play it over the mainline games!

I personally don’t think the game is going anywhere anytime soon, but I view this game like Mario Kart Tour, that game is literally done receiving content, but they’re going to keep it up for money, you know there are going to be dumb kids who think the only way to get anything out of the game is to buy things. But I have a soft spot for this game, this game was probably many peoples first exposure to Pikmin (being a mobile game and all), whether it is or isn’t like the main series games. And I honestly do prefer this game to POGO, which has been slowly dying for me ever since the Remote Pass price inflation. Plus unlike POGO, the game lets you get past flowers, and special decor Pikmin by re-releasing them every now and then. But yeah i personally prefer this over POGO, and don’t think its really going anywhere.

There's so much potential for a battle system ! Here's one idea: You could find enemies (with an indicator in case you need a certain Pikmin type to beat it) that spawn depending on the weather or other factors. For example, Fiery Bulblaxes could spawn in the summer and Breadbugs near restaurants. You could fight them in a RPG system: during your turn, you choose what type to use depending on their abilities and statistics and throw as many Pikmin as you can in a short period of time (throwing would look like it does with Poké Balls in Pokémon Go) while trying to aim for the enemy's weakpoint, with charging being some sort of super attack you charge up across multiple turns. During the enemy's turn, you have to swipe with your finger to swarm your Pikmin across the screen to make them avoid the enemy's attacks.

We deserve better. Also I’m big into flower symbolism so I would probably get hyped over them adding Geraniums

maybe pikmin bloom could add some sort of enemy that flies around mushrooms like a snitchbug or something, that could be neat

Ngl the game is really fun I mean you’re just thinking it’ll be like pikmin but it was made to be a fun pedometer you’re just hyping it up in your own mind so this is on you getting hopes high

It's almost like Pikmin Bloom will soon become lost media

when pikmin 4 released, they added spaceship decors but didn't add ice and glow pikmin and still to this day they still haven't added them yet... nowadays I log in once in a while or when i'm travelling

I remembered when this came out but when I played it, you know

I have played bloom since it came out, and have played it every day. The game is extremely enjoyable, and I don't think it's going to close any time soon. I don't understand why it gets so much hate. (heavily dislike that so many of things points in the video are literally just your opinion and not fact whatsoever)

Its not going to shut down it's still actively getting updates

I’m still getting adds for this game

MALTINI

I’ve never played pikmin bloom but I choice the blue pikmin with the Mario hat as my profile picture And I’ve using it for 2 years so I’ve got that to thank it for

I travel between the US and Mexico often, so it’s fun sending out my Pikmin to get an object that takes weeks just cause it’s back home.

4:05 He's here because he heard the word "Pedometer" and thought it was about testing one's love for kids and not steps.

Tbh, the game was really cool and fun at first, but when I unlocked everything I just got bored with it

Pikmin tour :go run Is the next next step for mobile pikmin.

honestly I really liked the game and wanna get back into it when I have a phone that doesn't have complete garbage battery life. the thing that really got me was that it like never asked me to pay with microtransactions directly, and none of the seasonal stuff seems to be purely time gated or have real folo cause I can just get it next year, a good option given how much rng the seasonal decor pikmin had, I never got too far into the gameplay loop though so its possible that it gets worse like you said I do wish it had more going for it, or they'd update more of the gameplay, it has a lot more potental and ideas that could make it actually feel like a pikmin game and not a pikmin themed fitness app

I never picked up Bloom for the same reason I couldn't get into GO: I live in a rural area lol. The nearest city is a two-hour drive from my house. Even if I drive 15 minutes to open the Pokemon GO app in town, I've never seen more than 3 or 4 Pokemon spawn at a time (And they're always several blocks from each other) I would love to play Bloom, and I would love to play Go, but it's just straight-up not an option for me. It really sucks when tech companies forget that farmers exist :\

If this game gets shut down imma cry, I just got it today and it’s so fun.

pikmin bloom is not bad because it's not like pikmin. pikmin fans can learn to enjoy nature and exercise with pikmin iconography

but dude.... pikmin is WHOLESOME.... we cant bring any of the console game elements into the mobile app to create a unique and entertaining experience because pikmin is WHOLESOME............ i remember hyping myself up when it was announced because i thought there was gonna be super cool stuff in it. real life 2-player battle. niantic really dropped the ball on this one

I'm a truck driver. I always have pikmin at least 1000miles away

The ending is out of context and I love it

noooo don't die please I just downloaded Pikmin Bloom yesterday

I wouldn’t mind a war update to the game. Like position you pikmin in different ways to attack the creatures in the franchise. Then you could get the ice or glow pikmin. Now this might be a bad idea but some sort of treasure map could be put in place. Say you get it from the mushroom and it tells you to explore a special flower or random location. Once at that location your team will fan out until they find another clue or item from the series stuck inside the ground. These items can be added like a collection or something, seeing how the original games olimar is really small they could just be nick knacks. Then you could have a sort of hoard in the game of things you have collected, some being rare and others being really rare yk

i played since launch but i uninstalled it because the coin system is BULLSHIT if you don't want to spend money on the game you have to plant a SHIT ton of flower for only like 5 coins its too grindy for it to be even enjoyable

Pikmin bloom is better than Pokemon Go 😊😊

Nintendo was feeding Pikmin fans this decade by giving them the appetizer of Pikmin Bloom, the entre of Pikmin 3 Deluxe, and the main course of Pikmin 4

Pikmin bloom is not doomed😡

More like pikmin DOOM huh

Pikmin 1 and 2 and Pikmin 3

I actually like the game cuase of the decors

new video

its not a failure this game is literally the only reason i go outside you gretzel

I play pikmin bloom and I’m forever confused on why they didn’t add treasures. The collectable aspect was already there in the main lines. I’m not complaining about the cute decor pikmin, tho.

Honestly Pikmin bloom is good you dont have to buy things if you don’t want to plus if you get a Pikmin without a decor you can just level it up by feeding it nectar. I think it still has a chance if they add ice pikmin

I actually prefer Pikmin Bloom to Pokémon Go. I don't want the game to have enemies, it's not that kind of game! If I wanted to play Pikmin with enemies I'd go home and play it on Switch. I love how my Pikmin are my companions when I go for walks. I love meeting other Pikmin Bloom players doing mushroom challenges. I love when my Pikmin make a diary entry for me at the end of the day. It's a very reflective game, it wants you to explore your city and reflect on your life and the world around you. I appreciate its commitment to peacefulness. I WILL say the micro transactions have gotten progressively more egregious. I appreciate how you don't need to spend real world money to complete the event goals and collect decor Pikmin. I wouldn't call it pay to win but it definitely heavily incentivizes spending money and I wish there was a battle pass feature or some type of fixed cost players could pay to access all the features. Other than that though, there's nothing I can think of that I'd want to change about the game. I explicitly like it because I DON'T like Pokémon Go. That game was too stressful and took the fun out of walking for me. Pikmin Bloom only adds to the fun instead of detracting

I want to know when we will get the ice and glow pikmin

When i heard about the game i thought it was going to be like Pokemon Go and have you walk to “caves” to send pikmin in and conquer them. And randomly find treasure or hostiles to fight or collect

I think a Pikmin game where you explore the real world is an extremely great idea. But I wish bloom was just more... I guess video gamey? Like putting enemies in the game and making decor Pikmin attack differently depending on their cosmetic.

Something I really like about pikmin Bloom is that I can use my mii from My Nintendo, I made my mii look really cute and it seems like nobody else knows how to do that or just chooses to make their mii look like themselves but it really makes myself stand out without having to buy accessories. I use that trick with the eyebrows to make it look like I have cat ears. I made my hair pink and I gave my Mii a really cute cat face like :3

My biggest issue with the game is that I literally can’t level up. I have been level 2 for two weeks now because I can’t get 500 steps. I have 8000 counted with my first pikmin. I have tried absolutely everything and it just won’t work. I wish it would because I want to play the game so bad but it just feels useless.

Sorry a game that you don't like doesn't mean that others don't like. You opinions are so narrow minded.

If you want to collect the maximum amount of goodies you have to constantly have your app open or if you want to plant flowers

I like pikmin bloom as a more casual pokemon go. I dont feel like im missing out on much due to not having phone service. since there isnt as much stuff you gotta directly walk to. And i really like that you see exactly how many steps your phone managed to register. And the little daily log to note whatever cool or uncool stuff that happened. I really wish getting enough coins for things was more feasable as a free player. Youd have to plant thousands of flowers in one sitting for weeks in order to get enough for anything. Id be really sad if the game shuts down. Its not the greatest game but i still enjoy it.

I think it’s doing a lot better than Peridot financially though and Pikmon seems comparable to Ingress on the amount of players about, maybe a bit more popular. Not sure adding map activities while out would do the game good or bad I mean it might put those off who play now because it’s passive walking 🤷‍♂️ Maybe adding strategy fighting bits from those other games you mention would be better if it was dungeons you could enter when you sat at home? Something like that

Don't get me wrong, pikmin bloom would've been a great game, but we already have a ar Nintendo game, aka Pokemon go, This is essentially Pokemon stop, This concept would be great in an AR or VR headset environment, but just solely on the phone it kinda breaks the illusion

I'd be playing it if Niantic didn't decide to start being super ableist and BOASTING about being ableist after the pandemic.

Pikmin

This game could easily have been arguably better than PoGo if they just gave it more time and resources

My purple Pikmin having to walk to North Korea to get a sticker

I once made a red pikmin walk across the pacific ocean for 300 days to get me a yellow planter

Why I play the game and it's quite fun But yeah I guess it would have been way better with more game elements to make this an actual game

isnt the phone version pikmin a causal farming/gardening game? nothing to actually do

I generally like the relaxed feeling of Bloom. Pokémon go can get too frustrating and addictive

pikmin bloom is a bit lacking in substance but i am a massive pikmin head and I will consume all that is pikmin becuase piukiuens

Its really just a fitness app with a pikmin theme tbh, its fine for what it is in my opinion but its barely a pikmin game

What is the song at 4:03

I love this game!!!don't shut it downplease😢😢

Instead of Pikmin bloom, they should have made street pass a mobile app

it just made me wish that they added the features from it to Pokemon Go

The game is 1/10 until they add cinnabar Pikmin to the game

When you get into the game and realize its already dead😢

UMMM I LIKE PIKMIN BLOOM. AND I HATE POKEMON GO LMFAO 😂😂😂
