Why Pikmin is an Underrated Gem 

Amen!

Underated means not very appreciated, but it should be. Pikmin sold < 3 million copies The game should sell more Shut up people Mr Crab Man is right

True!

I would honestly like to see you more talking about video games. Just like your videos about the Pixar and DreamWorks series. Maybe you should do a marathon on the game series! I would honestly watch it! Hope so that dream can come true one day. We will see in the future about if you are gonna do that.

Most Paper Mario Games have sold less than that

@10:13 Bye Steve.

welp

@@JohnSmith-wv5kmyeah :/

And the extra Olimar mode on 3 deluxe

He better

Heck yeah

Only one of those is worth existing

And 4 and 5

I jUst hAd tO oPeN mY mOUtH

Yup

@@wedmoke8856 😆

everyone agrees red leaf pikmin are named steve

Yup, and it never gets old!

Let me get this straight: You comment something that is unrelated to the fact that I have two HEAVENLY HANDSOME girlfriends? Considering that I am the unprettiest RU-vidr ever, having two handsome girlfriends is really incredible. Yet you did not mention that at all. I am quite disappointed, dear fan

anybody in this thread smoke weed

@@servantofwrath7370 I mean I do but that’s not the point, I don’t know wtf the other commenters said what they said or sent but whatever :/

*pikmin

@@servantofwrath7370 Yes?

He's my better known brother, and no one remembers me beacuse of him

I remember a youtuber called the red pikmin wilson and got told the name sucks

@@board-qu9iu yep, he was joking, he considered naming it steve but didn't to annoy people.

Steve. I haven't heard thqt name in years...

It’s also the game that makes you incredibly angry when they do something s t u p i d.

Or it's a playground for psychopaths who enjoy watching Pikmin die

I literally only play pikmin with no death runs.

Yeah, like each time a single Pikmin dies I will probably reset the day/

And kill those stronger than you with your army of equals

yeah what he said

I can't really agree here. Having multiple captains ultimately takes away from the need to plan routes effectively or commit Pikmin to tasks, which means the core mechanic of the game, using your Pikmin wisely, gets downplayed. This doesn't even take into account how the design of Pikmin 2 shifts away from being an RTS into being more of an Action game, good in its own right, but claiming that 2 allows for more elaborate strategies is a false claim. I like all three of the Pikmin games, they each have their own strengths and weaknesses, but being stuck with a single Captain creates for much deeper strategy, as each decision you take carries more weight.

Limitation leads to creativity. When players have more options than they actually need, they're inevitably less creative with how they solve problems because they don't actually need to be creative to accomplish their goals. Pikmin 2 is an equally phenomenal game in my opinion, and overall I do find it more enjoyable, but it definitely does not make you play more strategically. Similar to what Murray Murphy said, being limited to only one captain definitely encouraged more strategy specifically *because* you couldn't be in two places at once. Figuring out how to accomplish everything you want to do in an in-game day with just one captain involves a lot more thought than accomplishing the same thing with 2 does, and in Pikmin 2 you aren't even really encouraged to do this in the first place as you have all the time you need to beat the game anyway and on top of that all the caves freeze time while you're in them. It is a fantastic action game and I love it for that, but it's not the RTS the original was.

@@damir_van_kalaz definitely, for the most part pikmin 1 is the ultimate console RTS, and pikmin 2 is a skill challenge. (In a way pikmin 1 is intro to speed running, and 2 is intro to rogue likes) But since pikmin 2 is mainly a skill challenge and not a tactics challenge it doesn't force many new strategies. However, subterranean complex which is the one with all the bombs and the man at legs is hard enough to encourage new strategies and is now my favorite hole. My new strategy deviating from the standard kill and collect everything is to run ahead with 0 pikmin and get the careening dirgibugs to kill all the electrical hazards and then use white pikmin to outrun everything else. (I call it heist mode, the point is just raid the treasure and run, its not very applicable to the other holes though since for them it's safest to just kill everything and then collect your stuff)

What the others said, I think on top of help furthering the narrative, Olimar being the only captain helps to make the game more interesting while also enhancing the goal of getting 30 ship parts in 30 in game days. Pikmin 1 has less things to collect than the future games, but it also being the only one with any sort of effective time limit (It's easy to get juice in pikmin 3) I think makes the limited nature of only having one captain more interesting. Plus, Pikmin 1 is generally simpler than the future games, I think, in terms of gameplay. But, idk, probably don't know what I'm talking about.

Grover’s acid-tripping cousin

The Channel Dazzreviews used to be a pikmin channel before he changed content.

You know who Chuggaconroy is?

I expected an Arlo collab

Perhaps one of Louie's funniest notes is his terse description of the Mamuta: "Inedible. Tastes like chicken."

@@discountchocolate4577 ah yes, and who could forget the Caustic Dweevil, which causes uncontrollable breakdancing

I hate reading Louie's logs. It always makes me feel hungry. Lol

my favorite Louie entry is the one for the Caustic Dweevil: "Inedible. Effects of consumption include uncontrollable arm flailing and enthusiastic dishwashing."

Thank goodness it wasn't the pikmin.

Such a great game, chilling and intense.

20 YEARS‽‽‽ Goodness I'm getting old.

Oh, you're talking bout Rhythm Heaven right.

Oh gods, alot of people are gonna disagree.

@@conic2721 you said rhythm

what the heck is chuggaaconroy

@@ieuanhunt552 I can’t tell if you’re being serious or you genuinely don’t know who he is

If you dont call a level 1 red pikmin steve, you had no childhood.

@@MediaDroid960 I have no idea who that is. is it a streamer or something

@@ieuanhunt552 well I’m glad you asked. He’s a youtuber who let’s plays Nintendo games and tries to 100%, them. In schaffs majoras mask video, he said that chuggaaconroy was a huge inspiration in his gaming life when he was a kid, a when chuggaa let’s played pikmin, he named one of the reds Steve. I recommend you check him out, he’s pretty funny, here the link to his channel: m.ru-vid.com

fr i love these games so much

@@underthebridge45_ And what do you know: Pikmin Bloom is starting global rollout today. I'm so excited!

Pikmin 2 is by far one of my most favorite games

To be fair, it had VERY messy ads. Dazzreviews talked about them and jesus most are awful.

@@wastelandlegocheem for Pikmin Bloom?

Viva is here? “Wow what a discovery!”

Yo

I wonder if we'll be getting 2 and 3 but really fast.

Help that sounds so cute 😭😭😭

That just might be what Pikmin 4 is, seems like it’s taking place in a post-apocalyptic world!

That would be awesome, yeah. Pikmin meets terra nill

Your mom is so awesome lmao

That's... not good.

Holy Cow... not sure if I should be impressed with your mom's dedication or horrified of her out-of-control Pikmin addiction.

@@lasercraft32 Oh be horrified. She was not to be trifled with when in the midst of a gaming binge.

No pikmin game has sold over 2 million I think it's safe to say it's underrated

@@morganmccallum2076 you said underrated

It is obscure compared to other games

Those who know Pikmin love it, but not too many people do. It's kind of like a cult classic, as much as you can say that about a Nintendo game.

Technically it is if compared to other popular Nintendo franchises, it's way less known and sells nowhere near as well. Still a great series though.

I smiled so hard when he said that

yeah he is, heck I think he met Chugga at 1 point

In his majora's mask video he said he got into it because of chuggaaconroy

it pops up in his majora video !

He used Chuggaaconroy's "SPINNING IN CIRCLES" in his incredibles ytp I think

"Shall I give you despair?" "I'm the delivery boy around here. Return to sender"

I'm hoping for a Arlo cameo

@@Tacom4ster I can do a cameo

All thanks to Chuggaconery. Everyone's watched him at lrast once or thought of watching

I'm very late to this but The hacking community has also been doing a good job as well They've been making loads of hacks and tweaks to pikmin 2 and they're at a point where they're making completely new games using pikmin 2's engine and coding! With all new enemies captains, songs, and caves!

All 4*

Did you play the Wii or GameCube version of Pikmin 1? I've played through it a couple times on the GameCube and have never seen a glitch

Soooooon.

Rise my friend

didn't he have a Facebook page? why wasn't that the Squarespace ad?

I'm just getting started on that.

The tracks also have variants depending on what you’re doing in the game. It’s so layered!!!

Meanwhile, smash bros devs "ah yes, Envronmental noises"

@@Matoro-wp9hy Can't believe that they cut Ai No Uta from Ultimate. It's absolutely hilarious having this slow and kind of sad love song playing in the background of a fight.

Olimar is able to defeat Sephiroth, this is the world we live in.

@@_-Lx-_ I wouldn’t change it for anything

Holding out for Pikmin 4 ✊😔

Weird how they sound pretty similar

Story wise yes

Well, your wait is over

Somehow you summoned the Pikmin mobile trailer by your comment. Lol

All Pikmin being able to use Bomb Rocks in Pikmin 1 would essentially make Yellow Pikmin useless, so Yellows would need a major upgrade of some kind to make up for it, which would definitely alter the balance of the game.

Pikmin isn't really that popular no game in the series have sold over 2 million

I wish they did though

It's popular and highly praised by the people who *played it.* Not that many people played the series, so it's underrated.

@@awesomeguy2009 no, it only makes it unpopular

@@pikminologueraisin2139 There should be a word meaning "underpopulaer" a lot of people mean that when they saw underrated

Is bugsnax actually good? I saw it on gamepass and thought nothing of it

They are

Dang

1. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that reds in 2 do have the same damage as in 1, which I think is 1.5x, it's just that purples have 3x damage which makes them melt everything when you combine their stun and homing attacks. Purples should have the homing attack and the temporary split-second stun, but just regular 1x damage and not that ridiculous 5-second stun they can get. This would make purples better for high burst damage, but reds would be better for overall DPS on enemies they can cling to without getting shaken off so quickly. 2. Instakill electricity is bad, but I feel like stunning only wouldn't be enough of a threat. Why not instakill leaves only, but stun flowers and buds while turning them into leaves? 3. I don't think a time limit is necessary, sometimes just learning the layout after the random generation is enough of a challenge if you're in a confined space with a lot of enemies. 4. Yeah fuck the Doomsday Apparatus. 100 purples? So I need to spend literally half a day doing absolutely nothing waiting for this thing to move? If it weighed 900 at least you'd be able to do something, albeit minor, while you wait for it to move with the other 10 Pikmin you can have out. Needing 100 purples, and not being able to do anything else while it's being collected, makes it the worst treasure in the game.

@@lukeiannello6190 1.Could've sworn red's attack was nerfed from 1 to 2, whatever, I still think that Purples shouldn't stun and I forgot to add that I wanted purple to have x1 damage. They shouldn't stun, as either they'd need to not have it or it needs to be severely nerfed, with the time being nerfed, time between each stun being nerfed, and maybe even making all bosses immune to it. Again like I said, being worth 10 pikmin and homing in give them more than enough unique utility 2.I'm not sure if making pikmin into leaves and insta-killing leaves is a good idea either, as that means your army is just going to get insta-killed most of the time anyways. I think make the pikmin run around even more erratically would probably be best to buff elementals hazards, as right now they're just too easy to work around. 3. Yeah like I said this was the least necessary change, but I do think it would be a good one since the caves are very disconnected from the rest on the series at the moments 4. I honestly think the weight should be decreased to like 500, as even just getting 100 purple pikmin is an annoying process, as your probably just goin to have to revisit a cave a bunch until you have enough, and that's incredibly irritating. 5. Just remembered another problem, you shouldn't be able to just separate the captains, give all you pikmin to one of them, then get the other one to the exit to cheese certain cave floors, it's just far too easy to do it and feels like a waste not to since it costs you less pikmin and takes less time

Pikmin 1 is a lot easier than you think. It's only hard if you're trying to go fast. Take your time and enjoy it, and you will finish easy
