The actual villain of Pikmin 2 is Louie's Grandma, who often didn't feed the poor guy and sent him outside against his will, which likely lead to Louie's food obsession and strange connection to bugs. Had Louie been raised properly he'd likely never have eaten the golden Pikpik carrots and delivered the shipment, never causing the debt Hocotate Freight endured in Pikmin 2
Once you're old enough to get a job, it's your responsibility to get over your trauma and learn to parent yourself. Louie is still the true villain lol
"pikmin on the surface is a cute strategy game" You have 30 days to live on a toxic planet and have to fight giant animals that will gruesomely eat your Pikmin
One thing that makes me think the planet isnt abandoned is that not only are Olimar and the other alien species tiny(so they would be able to come closer to the speed of light when transversing the cosmos, and also experience time differently), but nearly everything is in almost-pristine condition for a nuclear fallout to have occoured. It looks more like the resodents just up and left, or that they're just not around when Olimar is
Tbh everyones main argument is the Geiger counter and it basically stops there. I think the planet still has humans especially since from Pikmin 1-2 the levels that returned had like tiles and pots and extra things humans would have to add. Plus Pikmin 4 takes place in a modern home so...lol
Could be because of optimized code so they were able to place more stuff than before. Plus why would some of the items be left outside intentionally. So it makes sense that there are no humans to pick them up.
Also, in The Vally of Repose, there is a manhole that is covered by a lid. It is speculated that that manhole leads to The Forest Naval, and that something, SOMEONE, sealed it after we left the planet.
I believe in Pikmin 2 with places like Gluttons Kitchen and Shower Room that these locations use to be human environments but after the extinction, were buried underground and contorted after so much time passing. Pikmin 4 seems to be a retelling of Pikmin 1 in a way and an alternative timeline and honestly? The house looks like it's been left that way after a family has gone on vacation for like a week. Humans could totally still exist in Pikmin 4's timeline.
@@Grindelsire Game logic wise? Olimin is definitely stuck there. Lore wise? The Pikmin shoved Olimar in the onion while he was unconscious so they're very able to pluck him out without his help
@@GrindelsireI'm pretty sure pikmin can pluck themselves or at least sprout and come out of the ground on their own, otherwise pikmin would be meaningless as a foragin species.
@@Grindelsirebut in pikmin 2 you can whistle at them and they will come out of the ground themselves. so they technically can pluck themselves if they feel like it.
They can pluck themselves but only in specific situations, like a pluckaphone whistle encourages them to come out of the ground on their own. I always thought Olimin just dug his way out or the pikmin dug him out.
In the first two games you can also see that the continents have shifted also just that it's blurry and hard to tell but you can see that North America and South America are no longer connected.
As a Pikmin fan that has been theorizing since the early 2000s, it's so frustrating 😔 I still love Pikmin 4 though, just wish it didn't have to be a reboot
In Pikmin and 4 there are like 50 guys that crash along with olimar Louie and the rescue corps but it’s strange that the custom character doesn’t crash very Sus ( I know why on a gameplay perspective bc then you would not be able to explore the maps but I mean on a lore perspective)
Pikmin 4 feels like they dropped all the story beats from 1 - 3. It feels a bit hollow imo. There's even a point where Olimar encounters a Yellow Pikmin and behaves like its his first time encountering it. It feels like it tried to roll together the stories of 1 - 3 while simultaneously behaving like they never happend.
The information about the crashes in this video is wrong, there is just one crash in Pikmin 3, that being on the Koppaites, Olimar, on his two trips to PNF-404 (going by his own logs and words, his third and fourth trip to the planet) never crashes once. The Hocotate Ship, which would seem had crashed, never did so, at least not on entry of the planet, it gets thrashed by one of the bosses and forgotten on the planet, Before Olimar and Louie go back an get it back on the extra missions in 3DX. And this is something I've seen countless times among the Pikmin circles, missinformation passed on as true without any further review or fact checking... ugh.
"Could potentially be a future version of earth" bro, the duracell batteries are right there. You straight-up find a globe of the earth. There's no "potentially", it's as explicit as it can be.
Not gonna review bomb your Pikmin 4 review, I did just wanna say I disagree but I understand Steve not liking Dandori! In my experience so far it’s the best Pikmin yet. Pikmin has always been about relaxed moments and yet also being a game of absolute terror. In every game there has always been some ticking time bomb, whether that’s the 30 day timer or the waterwraith. And I’ve personally always loved the challenge/versus mode ideas that Dandori FINALLY highlights and brings into the story mode- it puts Pikmin entirely back into the same world as any other RTS, where you are usually building up as fast as you can or playing against a computer opponent. I don’t need a human opponent, I LOVE this stuff. It’s what RTS is born of. Playing against an environment (rather than against humans or computers) definitely makes Pikmin a standout and I love it for that, but I’m so happy they didn’t just keep it in that box, if even for just 1 game.
I'm not sure I trust a deep lore video from anyone that doesn't know the correct pronunciation of "Hocotate" it's Hoh-Co-Tar-Tay The planet in Hey Pikmin is different, I think humans left Earth and colonised that one instead.

maybe the backyard we explore in the game is the only place radiated and the humans left there home since its dangerous
pikmin can pluck themselves so I'm sure Olimin can get out of the ground
but… they can’t pluck themselves. That’s why Olimar is even needed in the first place.

Louie is my favorite nintendo villian

Louie is a menace to society.
and then there’s pikmin 4…
As a Pikmin fan that has been theorizing since the early 2000s, it's so frustrating 😔
I still love Pikmin 4 though, just wish it didn't have to be a reboot

If you face the Titan dweevil after collecting Louie, The titán dweevil still attacks you without Louie
I think that's just for replay-ability and not to be seen as canon.
we will never forget the dark fate of Fiddleberto...

I'm not sure I trust a deep lore video from anyone that doesn't know the correct pronunciation of "Hocotate" it's Hoh-Co-Tar-Tay
The planet in Hey Pikmin is different, I think humans left Earth and colonised that one instead.
But “Hoh-coh-tate” sounds better. If I have to dig deep to find the pronunciation, it probably isn’t worth the correction.
@@DingusTheArtist I don't think you need to dig deep when it's been well known for 20 years.
