Pikmin 3 (Pikmin series)

[Kiryu2012]

Bearded dragon creatures would be cool. And an anteater Bulborb, eh? That could be interesting. I wonder if the Rock Pikmin could be eaten by them.

[Godzillabrawler]

That thing... *shiver*

Hopefully you can save the Pikmin once they go into his mouth...

Eh. Most casual players will hate them for a short while because of how easily they devour pikmin, but most casual players don't mind a few pikmin deaths. They're going to give zero-death runners a pain, unless the Ultra-bitter Spray returns, in which case you won't have such a problem. I simply enjoy the design and the specialness of an anteater bulborb. It'll be fun to take them down!

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that the Pikmin could cut off it's tongue to make things easier.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess you've never played Pikmin.

Oh I've played Pikmin. I have the first game. I was just wondering if cutting the tongue off would make fighting the anteater Bulborb easier. Or maybe we would have to make it eat bombs to get rid of it faster.

[Godzillabrawler]

From one Pikmin 1 junkie to another, I regret to inform you that bomb rocks are uncarryable by Yellows in Pikmin 2 and will likely not be able to in Pikmin 3. Therefore, it can be concluded that it will be impossible to make it ingest bomb rocks.

Onto what else you said, cutting off the tongue seems a bit... gruesome. Like I said, though, the Ultra-Bitter spray stuns enemies for a short time by petrifying them (I have yet to see it in action, as I only have Pikmin 1 NPC at current) so you can kill them while they are unable to return fire. Therefore, it would be a useful tool in slaying anteater bulborbs because it would stop them from scooping up your pikmin (as seen in the trailer).

[GreenAiden555]

Yeah, the bitter spray is indeed handy, but you get nectar when you kill the enemy.

The only enemies you can "disarm" is the Titan Dweevil and Water Wraith, though the latter isn't really disarming as it is just continuing the fight. It just doesn't feel right to disarm enemies in this series. These games are meant to be for everyone, and that'd be too... out there.

So you're saying you DON'T want a dark and gritty Pikmin title? How dare you!

The Dark Olimar Rises-Coming Summer 2013

[Godzillabrawler]

^Legionmaster wins the thread and a bucket of nectar.

Something I'd like to see is using Miis in the non-story parts of the game. Just slap a Mii head onto Olimar's body and you'd be set. New Super Mario Bros. U is doing it, so I don't see how Pikmin 3 can't just jump on the bandwagon. As a plus, the inevitable confusion generated in multiplayer would be partially relieved.

Also, when Maiyamato or whatever the hell his name is said that Olimar's whereabouts are a "secret", I got a little scared. Pikmin isn't Pikmin witout Olimar!

[Legionmaster]

Pikmin isn't Pikmin witout Olimar!

He got assimilated by the Borg. After having a bunch of little hivemind minions at his mercy, he is now one of them. What a twist!

[Giga Kaiju]

It could be cool to see more "Real" creatures in the game but Creatures like the PikEater Bulborb and that "Salamander"
Crystal shield thing is cool to see.

And Olimar has to be kidnapped by Louie after being taken from the Titan Dwevil. And the 4 Astronauts from the trailer are sent
to the planet to rescue him. (Theory)

Must have bearded dragons and gators in this game.

And Louie becoming a new villian? That's odd, but anything's possible.

[GreenAiden555]

If I'm not mistaken, the boss from the E3 demo is a bug still.

Kiryu... No gators. Do you know how big Pikmin are?

[Giga Kaiju]

Louie was the mastermind in the second half of Pikmin 2. He was "Attached" to TD head
which makes it seem like he is controlling him but who knows its possible.

A bug? Makes sense since almost all the enemies in the game are Bugs or close to them.
(Looked like a Salamander for some odd reason).

I always assumed that Olimar was around the size of a 6-year old, and the Pikmin were a few inches shorter. But then again, all the creatures may be smaller than I thought.

Wow. 0.75 inches? Yeah I can see why alligators wouldn't fit. I'm already imagining a fanfic being made about this, how all the creatures including Olimar are on Earth in their normal sizes and how they cope with the Earth creatures.

[Legionmaster]

There can be gators. Itty bitty teeny weeny yellow polkadot gators.

Or those little lizards that lose their tails if you touch them.

[MothraRocks]

This guy looks interesting.

@Kiryu You know in Pikmin 2 when you're in that bedroom and you have the GIANT children's toys around you? Didn't that say something about his size?
