A while back I was playing with the idea of leaflings with their appearances being based on different flowers :)

[ohmaerieme]

sometimes i think about them being leaflings together and start flailing around on the ground

Wtf kinda bug is this

@puppet-limbo

I....... SCREENSHOTTED THIS SOOOO FAST!!! saved it... and now its in my computer (and my heart) forever....

INHALLLESSSS

BECAUSE RIGHT!!!

It's so mysterious because...the game really doesn't delve into more of these implications than just to say, oh!! They're rescued now! It has me... pondering... like, only if Pikmin 4 increased the demand, the urgency, such as timing... as they had it in Pikmin 1. By chance, there could've been a heightened sense of... oh no, this characters gonna die... how would this change the trajectory of the game, the story line... and all, by posing intrigue!!!

What will the "death" of this character reveal to me? Will this force me to the beginning of the game depending on its significance? Does this make me care more about my mission?

MAYBE... That'd make it convoluted -

and hopefully not as superfluous as that planetary list, but i didn't say anything

being that there's quite a handful of castaways to rescue... but... not all of them are leaflings. If there was just a little more push... a different motivation, such as to say, "Come on, recruit!!! Lives are counting on you!"

BECAUSE!!! You're in the Rescue Corps! It's no longer solely in Olimar's perspective! So, perhaps a...setback... to the mystery of leaflings was the application of the "collecting" role/formula of gameplay, (i.e, the sparklium, ship parts, and pokos)....so... with a little less "collecting" and a little more story-telling and focus on castaways, it would've allowed more room for an expansion of leaflings! With this, they could've confirmed whether it was, as you said, parasitic or DNA integration - or, at the very least, come closer to a definitive answer rather than just... ope... everything's okay now because of glow sap!

I'm so stumped too, that, in one of Olimar's logs, he reflects of the circumstances of Pikmin 2 to be a "bad dream"...

But!! Could this just be his memory loss? A side effect of being a leafling for as long as he was? BAH! A girl can dream, it just seems Pikmin 4 tossed the concepts of Pikmin 2 not to mention the obliteration of Pikmin 3 for some reason seeing that they changed the whole purpose to why Louie is on PNF-404 to begin with... or... unless... Louie forgot too...............

but that's just a theory..........

ALSO!!! AWWW thank you so so so much! I'm so flattered that you feel that way about Io and her story!! ;w; CUS SDLJHSFKJ OH GOSH, I'm confident Collin would.... do his little sad face.... like...

"Io..."

and Io's like, "It's too easy!" ... to be fair, her time as a leafling is most likely a HUGE blur! So... he's like...

"Easy?!" LKJSDFLKJSFD

HUH. i never saw this dialogue!!

there's something very interesting to me abt this. maybe my hc that leaflings sometimes work themselves to exhaustion has some grounds??

"PNF-404" on ID cards

I have a lot of thoughts on the Pikmin 4 demo but one random thing I wanted to get out....

SPOILERS FOR 4

So the ID cards for the Leaflings weren't working because their bio-signature has clearly been changed. So it's an error.

In the original timeline (I assume this is a new one) the planet was named PNF-404 by the Koppites. I don't think it had any particular meaning that time, just a simple number and letter designation for an unnamed planet.

But now I think PNF stands for "Planet Not Found" and 404 error. I think that in this timeline it gets named PNF-404 specifically because of the error ID card the Leaflings had.

Given that Louie probably would have gotten dandoried had he stuck around with Moss for too much longer, any head cannons on how he would take to leaves?

Louie's leafling mane is Blue Orchid. A little ironic...I know. He has four seeds/leaves that function independently of him (Keeping their host Alive) , as compared to Olimar's xxxl leaf or 'tail'.

(I have more drawings of chrysanthemar around here somewhere, so he can be seen in color.)

Going back to Louie, I'm sure he would have been an incredibly difficult leafling to beat, but he drank all that glowsap...So no luxurious leafy mane for him, but that's what he would look like.

Hiya Flax! Have you ever had to replace any of your tools, or make new ones? How did you manage it, if so?

I'm sure it's that hard work out there! Best of luck. Thanks,

- A.F.

flax coming in, roger that, uh-

my tools? well, uhm, i take really good care of them, but ive been here so long that theyve just, uh, turned all weird and orange. that doesnt happen at home, so it must be something to do with the atmosphere here?

oh, im getting sidetracked, uhmmm...

ive had to make new tools from scraps and treasures i find, but theyre nowhere near as fancy as my old ones... but, hey, they get the job done, right? haha! ha. heh?

uhm, sorry. flax, over and out...

hey, whats af supposed to mean?
