@@Shyguy5104 cool thought but that's not really how sound works, it doesn't scale. I suppose it could be because Olimars species processes sound differently
A well-developed character is simply a character that has a life outside whatever story problem he must overcome. Hmm...you're right. I can't really think of any other characters that do stuff outside of their main conflicts. I mean...the mario people do sports but that's just a side gig.
"Louie doesnt participate in any emails or journal entries." Um... WHAT?! Louie has his own journal about the monsters and he talks about the best way to cook and eat them.
Great video but a few inaccuracies: -Louie has a cooking tutorial for every creature in the piklopedia -red pikmin resisted fire in pikmin 1 as well. -the Forest Navel in pikmin 1 is a cave, although it's not a "cave" as pikmin 2's are. Cant wait for pikmin 4 :D
I don't know why people find it so stressful, 30 days is way more time than you need to collect all of the parts and you don't even need all of them. If anything, I would say that the time limit makes the game more exciting and entices you to plan your days a little more carefully and be more efficient.
@@Christopher-md7tf I don't think people mean it as "Oh my god it's crazy how can you be calm playing this?" but more of "I wish I could take all the time I want to enjoy the atmosphere and build thousands of pikmin just because that's my favorite part of the game".
You actually do unlock something after saving Louie. You unlock Louie’s notes. Like how Olimar would make notes of the various creatures he encountered, Louie makes his own notes, but a bit different from Olimar’s. While Olimar’s notes are more scientific, Louie’s notes are how to properly cook and eat these creatures. All the different ways Louie says how to cook these various creatures is absolutely amazing and hilarious. Definitely a highlight of the game for me
Yeah and their taste and what not xD It's a bit understandable when you consider that he survived alone on the planet x) It also serves as a bit of foreshadowing :p «Mamuta: Inedible. Tastes like chicken»
I had a double take when I saw this in my notifications. This is my second favorite game series ever. Right below The Elder Scrolls. I've played & 100%ed this game and the third over 100 times each, no exaggeration. As someone who has OCD & likes to collect, likes structure, animals/bugs/nature, and is a fellow perfectionist & completionist, this game series is the best of the best.
I'm really hoping this video sparks a bit of inspiration for people to play these games. these games are great and I'm still waiting for Pikmin 4. great video, Jirard!
Louie is basically the real main antagonist in the Pikmin series, and I honestly think that's hilarious and charming. I love the King of Bugs- I mean, Louie.
Louie did the best he could. We've all been there: young, inexperienced employees, needing someone to lead us by the hand. Olimar never gave up on him, and neither should you.
Are... are you kidding? It's implied that the started the whole thing ON PURPOSE. His treasure entry made things click for me. I got my own theory on that turd.
"Less stressful than Pikmin 1" . Uh, yeah, you're not gonna mention anything about regenerating Gatling Groings and Bulbears, random falling rocks and bombs, and inept Pikmin AI that constantly trip and fall over and the nightmare fuel that is the Waterwriath?
@@OfficialDarce I think it gets a lot of unfair hate because of how different to the first 2 games it is. I suppose it's understandable to be annoyed when a game franchise you like that hardly ever gets sequels has a massive gameplay overhaul. Me on the other hand, it's my favourite game of all time.
As much as I love thousand year door an think it is the greatest paper Mario game, I do also think super paper Mario is a great game that shouldn't be hated on, still keeps the spirit of paper Mario in my opinion even if the gameplay is different, sticker star an color splash are the only ones that I probably really don't like as much
Id buy a switch for pikmin 1-3 remastered(especially co-op not just the game mode co-op story and y'all take separate teams of pikmin) and chibi robo remastered.
This game is one of the best games of my childhood for a variety of reasons. - The piklopedia and all of Olimar's entries on each intractable creature (and Louie's tips in how to eat them). The sales pitches are neat too. -The music. Oh my gosh I LOVE the soundtrack in this game, from the peaceful and relaxing hymns in the first three areas and the piklopedia, to the epic boss music, to the suspenseful vibes you get from wistful wild, to the themes of the final boss. -the maps are essentially all but one of the maps from the last game (wistful wild is the first and final area from Pikmin 1 that have been merged together and given a cool autumn look (I love how the cave that the final boss is in also is in the exact same spot you find the first ship part in the first game, and paired with Wistful Wild's theme it further adds to the "ends where it all began" feel.) -the caves are a great addition.....except for Submerged Castle, even though it does a good job rocking its horror theme. F*** that underwater den of nightmares. You still have a clock over your head since the boss will appear after 5 minutes on the floor you're currently on. Well, at least the cool upgrades you get are great -the pvp mode, which I had a blast doing with my family The bosses were a blast to battle, with my favorite being the man-at-legs. Overall Pikmin 2 is a great game (The Submerged Castle cave and that damn Waterwraith can burn in hell though.)
I still think the first Pikmin is my favourite one - the 30 day time limit added real urgency which meant the game was constantly engrossing. I guess the caves in Pikmin 2 were an attempt to put a different kind of pressure on the player, where you're not limited by time but by the number of Pikmin you have (since you can't make new pikmin in a cave). It's a reasonable idea in principle, but as you say the caves are somewhat monotonous so overall I don't think it worked. Pikmin 3 has the best approach in theory imo. There's no time limit, but the 'treasures' you gather double up as food which the crew needs to eat. Unfortunately, this also didn't work as well as it could have done because it was too easy to collect a huge stockpile of food which removes the pressure. At 5:30 - is this actually canon?! I always just thought it was present day Earth (albeit with weird creatures) and you happen to not see any humans. I also didn't know that Louie ate the golden carrots, that movie sounds like a great unlockable to me!
6:30 “you only get a few message from his grandma, nagging you”... proceeds to show a message about how Louie should come home and his grandma will buy tons of pikpik carrots just for him
Your ship becomes gold for getting all the treasure. Also, as many others have already said, Louie has a ton of journal entries that you apparently missed! Glad you still enjoyed it though :)
Admittedly it is easy to miss or forget that they were fire resistant in the first game. Since it was only useful for 1 area and could be generally bypassed unlike the water sections.
One thing you didn't note is that after you save Louie from the Titan Dweevil, whenever replay the game the Piklopedia will include Louie's notes. All of these are just him telling you how to cook the creatures of PNF-404. It's actually pretty funny.
Okay, side note. I love how after you kill a boss and since you cant pick up the treasure before the cutscene, the pikmin most of the time swarm around the boss and then the boss is gone in the cutscene so they're carrying nothing and looks like they're holding hands.
This game was my childhood, and I have such fond memories of it. Especially the Multiplayer. I haven't played it in years, sadly, but the marbles collection game was something many of my hours went into.
So satisfying to hear someone talk positively about removing the day limit. I didn't need all 30 days in the original, but the idea of running out of time made me feel rushed and I couldn't appreciate the beauty.
I loved the video, loved the game, I'm really glad that you decided to play it however i do have one gripe, you mentioned that sometime the cave generation makes it so that you cant progress without losing a pikmin, this isnt true, while difficult it isnt impossible. Before entering a cave you can see all of the possible hazards and plan what types of pikmin you need to bring to get through, it is much less likely you'll lose pikmin to the cave generation than to the random ass falling bomb rocks.
Louie actually does give his own descriptions of monsters in the game- but from a cooking perspective. It really adds to his ... 'character' in the sense he's a layabout who enjoys food a little too much. The descriptions were by far the most charming part of the game, and I remember the impact it left on me years later.
His treasure entry is what shocked me. Is it possible that the started the events of the game, because he has a bond with insects or whatever? Heck, it's implied he even controlled the final boss! I never liked Louie, and that conspiracy solidifies it.
As someone who's been replaying Pikmin 2 since they were a kid, it's actually gotten pretty easy to play the majority of the game without losing a single Pikmin! The only exception is the final boss that kidnapped Louie. That boss is just..... *shivers*
Louie DOES have some...interesting application to the Journals of Pikmin 2. he attempts to make a cookbook out the bestiary. of course, there are several creatures that even he finds totally inedible for one reason or another.
Louie gets even worse when you read the Titan Dweevil's Piklopedia entry and it reveals that the Titan Dweevil is actually a benign and peaceful creature. It was being controlled by Louie, who was deliberately trying to murder both Olimar and the President as they came to rescue him. Louie is the primary antagonist of Pikmin 2.
The best part about Louie... is all his recipes for the plants and bugs you encounter in the game! One of my favorites is the description for clovers: "Mildly poisonous. May result in nausea, headache, fever, fatigue, chest pains, paralysis, loss of bone density, moodiness, feral rage, sauciness, dilly-dallying, strokes of brilliance, and untimely doom." Mildly poisonous my ass... The Mamuta's is also funny: "Inedible. Tastes like chicken."
Completionist has never been less relatable. How many times can he talk about how he "owns a company"? and that he is a boss and that it is SOoooooo hard. Just comes off as "Woe is me being a boss is so hard" Like hearing a millionaire complain about how having so much money is such a pain...
The time limit for the first game made sense as Olimar only had so much time before running out of resources. The second game getting rid of that mechanic was a welcomed one and I enjoyed really exploring everywhere in Pikmin 2. That game even after beating it had me wanting to explore more. The challenges were great. I love pikmin 2. Best pikmin in my opinion. I would argue that the caves were made that way so that it felt really rewarding to get back to the top once you overcame it. Seeing the same thing over and over, wanting to just get out....makes sense to me. It's an unknown scary place with multiple levels and you don't know how far it goes...
As a kid, I was a numbers guy, so I literally spent 300 in-game days amassing a blue pikmin army of 30000. It was absurdly unnecessary, but it kept me occupied for a long time, and I still love the game to this day. Also I was able to collect all the treasures in just 14 in-game days on one playthrough.
This game's challenge mode gave people the mentality of resetting after one death (me included), but after ordering the Wii version, I've been better about it and not relying on Purples all the time.
Thank you completion I have been waiting a long time for this. good luck beating Picmen3 if you ever try because the final boss is very hard. I really love your work keep it up
Jirard, thank you so much for everything you do. This is one of my favorite games of all time and I’ve been waiting for you to do it for years. You are an amazing RUclipsr. Keep up the great work!
I loved this game as a kid. Due to an injoke that I can´t really fathom anymore a friend of mine and I would play this game every year on the same day, to play the multiplayer. He would take all the pikmin with him while I went out with Loui to beat up all the non flying monsters with my bare hands! We would also spend hours just watching the creatures in the Piklopedia while the relaxing music played. It´s like the nature channel! Also funny is the fact that Loui has log entries to every single creature but they are all cooking recipes! Like how to grill or prepare those things and honestly, a lot of those sounded delicious.
Olimar leads the best true Louie is the worst in blue true Pikmin 2 is loved true I think that was a haiku I tried but thanks for answering my suggestion your the best jirad can't wait until you complete pikimin 3
I'm not sure which is cooler: the Big Bad Bosses reference right at the end, or the fact that someone actually took the time to create a mini Bowser figurine. Well done!
Gotta be honest I loved Louie as this dopey mysterious counterpart to Olimar. Olimar even describes Louie in some of his journals as barely there, as if Olimar is just alone as he was before. Plus, he wrote an entire cook book on his trip, and it was hilarious. Surprised you didnt mention it!
You know what game has a Pikmin-esque mini game where you command large crowds to do things for you? Yakuza Kiwami 2. You know what game is in the same franchise as Yakuza Kiwami 2? Yeah, you know.
DAMN IT! BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME FOR THE BEST PART OF THE LAST 20 YEARS AND ONLY FIND OUT FROM YOU ABOUT BAITING THAT GIANT THING THAT GOES RED WHEN IT'S ANGRY!
If I can be honest, can we cut Louie some slack? I mean I wouldn't say it's necessarily HIS fault for getting left behind. And when he was, he was a primal survivor, making food, examining creatures, and maybe accidentally attempted to examine something that caught his eye and was kidnapped by the final boss. But Louie is my favorite character because he is so funny.
I mean... the whole fact that Louie ate all the carrots was pretty obvious from the start, at least for me. Even before knowing the truth, I suspected Louie the whole time and was actually glad when I got to trade him out for the President.
Can't wait till you play Pikmin 3 Deluxe. It was my starting point to the series, and I'm interested in how you compare it to the rest of the games. For reference, there's 3 variations of the same ending, 66 pieces of fruit to collect (replacing treasures and ship parts), 36 mission mode levels, 14 side story missions, which are both ranked from bronze to platinum, and a local multiplayer Bingo Battle mode. While I've gotten perfect rankings on the Side Story levels, I still haven't on some of the missions. They're tough, and require you to multitask between the 3 different captains you control.
Let's hear your best Pikmin Haiku!

I love how Olimar is the most developed Nintendo character ever, he's a leader, a worker, a father, a husband, a teammate and has a deep voice.
I guess I never really thought about it before but why do all the characters have deep voices if they are so tiny?
@@uaenruotel because we're hearing it relative to their size
@@Shyguy5104 cool thought but that's not really how sound works, it doesn't scale. I suppose it could be because Olimars species processes sound differently

He has maded well and Olimar is handsome my favourite character
Also, the Piklopedia should be a standard feature in every game ever made. A fun way to interact with all of the enemies and bosses? Gimme!
I really wish Pikmin 3 brought back the piklopedia

they did have a bingo battle game together iirc, so it's not so farfetched.
I've been waiting almost two years for this video.
Pikmin 2 is the Donkey Kong Country 2 of the GameCube.
Thank you for doing this, Jirard.
Thank you.
Louie gets even worse when you read the Titan Dweevil's Piklopedia entry and it reveals that the Titan Dweevil is actually a benign and peaceful creature. It was being controlled by Louie, who was deliberately trying to murder both Olimar and the President as they came to rescue him. Louie is the primary antagonist of Pikmin 2.
Jirard can you complete the other paper Mario games and the Mario and Luigi games (including remakes)
Like if Pikmin 2 is better than Pikmin 1
The best part about Louie... is all his recipes for the plants and bugs you encounter in the game!
One of my favorites is the description for clovers: "Mildly poisonous. May result in nausea, headache, fever, fatigue, chest pains, paralysis, loss of bone density, moodiness, feral rage, sauciness, dilly-dallying, strokes of brilliance, and untimely doom." Mildly poisonous my ass...
The Mamuta's is also funny: "Inedible. Tastes like chicken."
Olimar: A team leader, explorer, husband, and father.
Louie: Hungry Boi…
I saw that it was pikmin 2, and before even starting the video, my heart hurt for you
Do Pikmin 3.
Pikmin 3 is yet another great game that too many people missed! Remind my why there isn't a switch port yet?
Wait and see.
Completionist has never been less relatable. How many times can he talk about how he "owns a company"? and that he is a boss and that it is SOoooooo hard. Just comes off as "Woe is me being a boss is so hard" Like hearing a millionaire complain about how having so much money is such a pain...
Pikmin 4 anyone ?
Yes please
BEST COMMENT PIN COMMENT. NEED THIS
YES
The time limit for the first game made sense as Olimar only had so much time before running out of resources. The second game getting rid of that mechanic was a welcomed one and I enjoyed really exploring everywhere in Pikmin 2. That game even after beating it had me wanting to explore more. The challenges were great. I love pikmin 2. Best pikmin in my opinion. I would argue that the caves were made that way so that it felt really rewarding to get back to the top once you overcame it. Seeing the same thing over and over, wanting to just get out....makes sense to me. It's an unknown scary place with multiple levels and you don't know how far it goes...
As a kid, I was a numbers guy, so I literally spent 300 in-game days amassing a blue pikmin army of 30000. It was absurdly unnecessary, but it kept me occupied for a long time, and I still love the game to this day. Also I was able to collect all the treasures in just 14 in-game days on one playthrough.
Just met The Completionist at Pax today and boom! Here’s his new video! He’s so nice and it was so awesome to get to chat!!
Jirard forgot that Red Pikmins were always inmune to Fire.
PK SMASH! Fire isn’t the most dangerous hazard in Pikmin 1
@@thefreelancequeen neither in 2, Electricity is Bullshit and instakills, Fire is just like water, blow your wissle and they are ok.
This game's challenge mode gave people the mentality of resetting after one death (me included), but after ordering the Wii version, I've been better about it and not relying on Purples all the time.
Thank you completion I have been waiting a long time for this. good luck beating Picmen3 if you ever try because the final boss is very hard. I really love your work keep it up
My favorite game of all time. I love this series so much, GIVE US PIKMIN 4 DAMNIT
It's almost here now FINALLY
:D
Jirard, thank you so much for everything you do. This is one of my favorite games of all time and I’ve been waiting for you to do it for years. You are an amazing RUclipsr. Keep up the great work!
Miyamoto: “Pikmin 4 is close to completion"
Also Miyamoto: Lolololololololololololol
I loved this game as a kid. Due to an injoke that I can´t really fathom anymore a friend of mine and I would play this game every year on the same day, to play the multiplayer. He would take all the pikmin with him while I went out with Loui to beat up all the non flying monsters with my bare hands!
We would also spend hours just watching the creatures in the Piklopedia while the relaxing music played. It´s like the nature channel! Also funny is the fact that Loui has log entries to every single creature but they are all cooking recipes! Like how to grill or prepare those things and honestly, a lot of those sounded delicious.
Olimar leads the best true
Louie is the worst in blue true
Pikmin 2 is loved true
I think that was a haiku I tried but thanks for answering my suggestion your the best jirad can't wait until you complete pikimin 3
My dude literally shaved his beard and grew it back all for an intro
I salute this man
Great Vid guys, love the shorter form content and I’m glad you had a relaxing time completing one of my favorite childhood classics
Pikmin are not mindless, the pikmin short films show you that pikmin do have feelings and try to solve problems even when olimar is not around.
I'm not sure which is cooler: the Big Bad Bosses reference right at the end, or the fact that someone actually took the time to create a mini Bowser figurine. Well done!
I didn’t grow up with pikmin but I did grow up playing the Overlord franchise a whole lot which is basically pikmin’s older and more violent brother
Olimar and louie can get a treasure that lets them punch enemies.
So in conclusion, you can attack enemies yourself, but not well.
Gotta be honest I loved Louie as this dopey mysterious counterpart to Olimar. Olimar even describes Louie in some of his journals as barely there, as if Olimar is just alone as he was before. Plus, he wrote an entire cook book on his trip, and it was hilarious. Surprised you didnt mention it!
You know what game has a Pikmin-esque mini game where you command large crowds to do things for you? Yakuza Kiwami 2.
You know what game is in the same franchise as Yakuza Kiwami 2?
Yeah, you know.
What does?
I mean what franchise
DAMN IT! BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME FOR THE BEST PART OF THE LAST 20 YEARS AND ONLY FIND OUT FROM YOU ABOUT BAITING THAT GIANT THING THAT GOES RED WHEN IT'S ANGRY!
If I can be honest, can we cut Louie some slack? I mean I wouldn't say it's necessarily HIS fault for getting left behind. And when he was, he was a primal survivor, making food, examining creatures, and maybe accidentally attempted to examine something that caught his eye and was kidnapped by the final boss. But Louie is my favorite character because he is so funny.
I mean... the whole fact that Louie ate all the carrots was pretty obvious from the start, at least for me. Even before knowing the truth, I suspected Louie the whole time and was actually glad when I got to trade him out for the President.
*he doesn't know about Louies vast knowledge on how to properly cook gourmet meals out of every enemy in the game*
Can't wait till you play Pikmin 3 Deluxe. It was my starting point to the series, and I'm interested in how you compare it to the rest of the games. For reference, there's 3 variations of the same ending, 66 pieces of fruit to collect (replacing treasures and ship parts), 36 mission mode levels, 14 side story missions, which are both ranked from bronze to platinum, and a local multiplayer Bingo Battle mode. While I've gotten perfect rankings on the Side Story levels, I still haven't on some of the missions. They're tough, and require you to multitask between the 3 different captains you control.
No mention of Louie's enemy notes but tons of praise for Olimar's notes? Cmon, man.
Thanks for covering one of my favorite games
I hurt inside when I saw him sacrificing all those Pikmin to the Bulblax at the end
1 minute into the video: "A charming and easy game..."
