Honestly the idea with it being connected to pikmin bloom is a bit of a stretch but at the same time it isn’t unfounded.
The idea of pikmin being engineered as these little pets makes sense given how helpless they are in the wild under most circumstances. Plus their curiosity and adorable personalities make them endearing that who wouldn’t want a handful of those little guys.
Given how the onions function too especially the one in pikmin 3 them being biomechanical entities makes sense.
Damn
i like to think theyre mandrake roots :p
1: theyre little human shaped plants
2: they "scream" when pulled out of the ground and most of their noises are shrieks and yelps
3: their flowers match the colours of irl mandrake roots (white, pink, purple and yellow) and the candypop bulbs looks almost exactly like actual mandrake flowers
They should make a sound pikmin that screams at enemies
Something I would like to mention, most likely there are multiple Onions of every type. It is best to consider this, as when you think about it, there would realistically be more than one Onion, as they act as hives for Pikmin.
Of course! I think each Onion we’ve seen (aside from maybe the Red Onion, Blue Onion and Yellow Onion between Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2, since they take place in the same areas) are separate Onions.
@@seandwalsh3 Thanks! Plus I would quickly like to add my own theory to the equation, trying to explain the severe differences of the Onions between some games.
As Pikmin are shown to be intelligent and most likely are the ones to build the stone walls, as no other creature has the ability to do so (beyond the Waterwraith and Plasm Wraith, though the reasoning for those building the walls is lesser than the Pikmin's), this could mean that the reason the Onions look inconsistent (beyond differing consoles) is because the Pikmin design Armor to defend or repair the Onion, and the Onions in Pikmin 4 are how they are supposed to look. There is definitely human tech left around, such as computer parts in 2 and phones in 3, so that could explain why the Onions in Pikmin 3 look more technological, and while I would say that Clay is used to make the original Onions, Pikmin 4 added Raw Material, which is heated and turns into a clay-like substance, so that is more likely used. As for the changing colors, for the Onions in 1 & 2, it's paint or juice of some kind, and for the Onions in 3, most likely LEDs or a screen of some kind.
@@auroraastralis speaking of pikmin 4, and maybe some mild spoilers ahead;
there are multiple onions, I found a second yellow onion in the second area of the game. When an Onion has already fused with one of that type it converts it into nutrients for 20 of that onion typ.
I’ve always wondered if the Groink and Man At Legs might have been created as some kind of like…unethical pest control system.
My theory is the man at legs was designed to kill pests. In game the man at legs targets the pikmin and not the captain. Maybe they where deployed in fields or houses to terminate pests
The Man-at-legs’ launcher tends to automatically target the largest group of organisms. As far as I’m aware, it doesn’t necessarily prefer Pikmin as targets over leaders. Interesting idea though! I prefer to think it was designed as a general weapon of war. I think it would be quite effective against a great number of creatures, including humans.
Wouldn't the Man at Legs be too small to be used against humans? Either way, great video!
@@quetzalchris7721 not really no. A tiny turret is just as effective, if not more effective.
@@quetzalchris7721 id imagined getting shot at would sting, or maybe break skin
@@seandwalsh3bro im stepping on that thing
Hocotatian is such an interesting Language.
I don't remember Olimar narrating the entries to this extent.
What Voice Program did you use?
It sounds so cool!
It is!
I got the sounds Olimar makes from Pikmin 3 Deluxe itself and assembled them in my editor so they would resemble the way he speaks in-game. I explained how exactly I got the sounds elsewhere in the comments, but that’s the long and short of it!
@@seandwalsh3 That is so radical!
I like the idea of the onions being man made, and that maybe pikmin 4 literally takes place not even a year after humanity went extinct, maybe everyone was evacuated to shelters and died in them, and the gas oven and stuff being on means that the government forced them out of their homes without time to get any personal effects in check. tragic and neat
Wow, humanity was the real monster all along, Pikmin is so deep and cool I wish Louie was real
8:12 Even if it's not necessarily related to Pikmin bloom. I really like the idea that Pikmins and everything related to them is a human creation. And that humans of the Pikmin timeline created them to replant flowers on their Earth, which is in a much worse state than ours. It could even be linked to the extinction of bees...
Also in japanese, Nectar is called earth extract, which explains why it's found everywhere. It's not just nectar.
10:10 I think Olimar just can't believe that these are the creations of an unknown species. I mean, despite the evidence, it was difficult for us to envisage the existence of dinosaurs at the time of their discovery. So, for Olimar, considering the existence of an unknown species that lived long before any known civilization of his time, possessed highly advanced technology and was also gigantic in size compared to his own, must be really complicated for him.
A theory I thought of for the mammuta was that in one of the Pikmin four trailers we saw a fuzzy mammuta which means not only are they made to help Pikmin but are kept as pets and that mammuta with fur is probably bred like a dog.
I played through the entire series earlier this year in preparation for Pikmin 4, including Hey! Pikmin (but not Pikmin Bloom, you got me there). Bizarrely, Hey Pikmin doesn't take place on PNF-404, but rather a different planet that for some reason is also home to pikmin, onions, bulborbs and other classic enemies, and human artifacts. There are also one or two other details in that game's lore that don't quite add up under scrutiny, but the new planet is really intriguing to me.
I now like to think that rather than going extinct, humans had to _leave Earth behind_ for some reason. They brought there stuff with them of course, including some of the natural wildlife, and then eventually repeated the process, who knows how many times. OR maybe they were already an interplanetary civilization and to leave everything behind all at once.
I hadn't considered the pikmin as engineered creatures, but it fits quite nicely into this framework I think! Maybe they have some kind of use in terraforming?
There's a lot we don't know yet about Pikmin 4 (from what we do know I think it's gotta be _some kind of_ alternate timeline). Maybe the reason the house seems so well kept is because, if humans are still out there somewhere, some may return periodically to check on things?
Hey! Pikmin likely does take place on PNF-404. There’s only one line that indicates it’s a separate planet, which is actually probably mistranslated.
「この惑星でピクミンに会えるなんて思ってもみませんでした！」
“I never thought I would meet the Pikmin here or be on this planet!”
「近くに寄ってきましたね。この星のピクミンもオリマーさんのフエの音が好きなようです。」
“They’ve gathered near us. It seems the Pikmin of this planet love Olimar’s whistle.”
As you can see, the original line is far more ambiguous. This original line doesn’t particularly indicate one way or another whether or not it’s a separate planet, especially since the S.S. Dolphin II has never been to PNF-404 before. The intention, as far as I’ve been told, is likely that the ship is surprised it is on the planet and getting to meet the Pikmin - which Olimar has told it so much about previously - rather than being surprised to find the Pikmin in this entirely separate planet.
It’s unlikely that humans left the planet themselves in my opinion, as the technology present doesn’t get far beyond the early 21st Century.
I’d be interested in hearing what other details you don’t think hold up to scrutiny though! As far as I know the game fits as-is pretty well at the end of the current timeline, some time after Olimar’s Comeback from Pikmin 3 Deluxe.
@@seandwalsh3plot twist: pikmin is in the same universe as all tomorrows
Very well thought out and produced video! I really liked how you used the piklopedia and captain’s logs as supporting evidence. Definitely deserves more views!
Pikmin gives players PTSD and i love it!
At some point the Pikmin existed alongside the Mushroom Kingdom. I wonder how close the Pikmin games are to that time.
This is a really well put-together theory! Good job!
So great to see you making a theory video!
Since in pikmin bloom the flowers pikmin have are used to plant more flowers, what if pikmin were made to solve the problem of there not being enough flowers bees could’ve died off. And when pikmin where not helping enough, humans made the mamuta (idk the correct spelling) and when pikmin population started to get out of hand, humans made the man-at-legs and the gattling groik to lower their numbers until eventually humans had a war for an unknown reason.
I'd recommend actually narrating the entries if you did something like this again. I listen to videos while driving for my job and can't read what's on the screen. So it would improve the video for people like me. Regardless very good video. Well done!
Oh my gosh, i love this video! i never thought of it that way, but that's the most believable theory I've seen compared to the other theories on CZcams!
your theory is one of the few i see here that are super interesting, i love how you connected things together in a way that makes sense.
if youve never seen the one made by variety television id say check that out, he has some idea of how the pikmin evolved that i find interestinng.
(im not sponsored lol)
After playing the demo, I can safely say that it cannot have been too long after human extinction, because the crayon drawings & paper are not at all degraded. Like, at all.
Pikmin 4 may be a reboot though.
It may be an alternate universe or timeline, but it’s certainly not a reboot.
@@seandwalsh3 I don't see the difference between those terms in this context. Not trying to be disagreeable.
A reboot would be a completely new, unrelated continuity. As an alternate universe/timeline, the lore established in Pikmin 4 also applies to the other games and vice versa, though the events of the games themselves don’t coexist.
maybe humans made very weird paper that don’t degrade with whatever cooler tech they have over there
Another very notable thing is if there was a sudden lack of humans there would be nobody left to man any nuclear plants resulting in basically world wide meltdowns
this video is the most awe-inspiring pikmin video ive ever seen
I think Pikmin 4 all but confirmed this theory. The way the pikmin all reacted when entering a human home made it seem like they were comfortable being there.
It’s important to keep in mind the Pikmin ran away because of the Gildemander, but yes, their “play” behaviour indicates they’re familiar with the home environment.
The Castaway Petunia also theorises Pikmin Onions are “Biocrafters”, which is definitely implying what I speculated in the video is accurate!
New facts to annoy my friends with!
What i love most about Pikmin are the creatures and how interesting they are, i remember playing pikmin 1&2 on the GameCube and would be sad after beating the games because i would want more and explore the planet even further with captain Olimar and louie, i loved Olimar's curiosity and he seemed fascinated and eager to learn about the creatures of the planet.
Pikmim are my little bros
thank you so much for making this
pikmin theories are necessary for my survival
I think enemies like the Man-at-legs were designed to eliminate Pikmin. Given that Pikmin can become self sufficient it's not too out of the question to assume they could have gotten out of hand at some point. Both the groink and man at legs generally require pikmin to be thrown in order to reach them, something that Pikmin on their own would be incapable of. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bulborb themselves were also manmade, a natural predator of Pikmin to keep them in line while also being highly adaptable in the same vain as the pikmin. Which would explain where in a game where most enemies adhere at least somewhat to real world parallels, Bulborbs process traits of a wide array of animals. Which could also explain why Bulborb are nocturnal, they were made as such so Pikmin can get the job done during the day but any stragglers would be dealt with automatically instead of causing complications.
In this vain, I feel as if once Pikmin got too out of hand, whatever event led to humans vanishing was in direct result of the Pikmin, whether caused by them, or as a last ditch effort to be rid of them. We witness the fact Pikmin related species evolved within the limited time between games, most notably the ability for multiple onions to come together as seen in 3 and 4. Who knows what was the case back during the Pikmin's prime.
Interesting. While the Pikmin can become self-sufficient, they generally don’t seem to have that capacity before Olimar’s crash, especially based on Pikmin Bloom (assuming it is indeed a prequel).
Pikmin are noted in several notes as being incredibly loyal, with that being the key to their survival. They also have a natural cap of 100, which would certainly prevent them from getting out of hand. I think it’s more likely the Man-at-legs, Gatling Groinks and Careening Dirigibugs were developed for some greater conflict. Rather than merely Pikmin maintenance, especially with what biological horrors they seem to be.
Perhaps they were engineered to kill off mutated creatures, or merely as bioweapons to try and turn the tables in a great conflict. Whatever the case they’re essentially only found near what is described as a Military Complex.
I personally believe the Bulborbs are descendants of Amphibians, eventually evolving to lose their final molt and front legs (separating them from frogs and other species). I think they just “naturally developed”. Unlike Pikmin, Onions, Candypop Buds, Man-at-legs, Gatling Groinks and Careening Dirigibugs, the Bulborbs aren’t called out as xenobiological oddities in the Piklopedia Notes (I can provide these notes if you’re interested).
I think the Onions in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4 are simply separate types of onions from the ones in Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2, with the ones in Pikmin 3 being more mechanical and the ones in Pikmin 4 being more biological. It’s possible the Pikmin’s designers went through multiple generations of Onions, some better than others, just as we’ve seen two types of Planter Packs in Pikmin Bloom.
@@seandwalsh3 I can definitely agree with everything here but I'd also like to add on some things. For one, it would be quite weird for Bulborbs to be ancestors of Amphibians considering that Water Dimples are noted to not only be direct cousins of Bulborbs, but also to have branched off relatively recently. While it's possible Olimar is just wrong and Water Dimples came first, that level of misdirection just wouldn't make any sense. Bulborbs also notably lack eyelids, something the Pikmin Garden website felt the need to delve into. This trait is only really something insects and reptiles have as far as land animals go, and given they clearly don't have insect eyes it's points more to being reptilian in that regard.
To add on this more, the fact Bulborbs resemble Olimar's dog is also room for speculation. Given that Pikmin likewise resemble Olimar's favorite food, and than Bulborbs resemble his dog, that just seems like a bit too much of a coincidence. If anything the more I think about it, the more likely it feels that Pikmin could be completely unrelated to Humans, and were actually engineered by a species similar to Olimar who came to PNF way before he ever did. If Olimar accidentally found PNF while delivering cargo, it's clearly between at least 2 notable planets it's not like it's hidden or something. That would explain why they're almost entirely reliant and the perfect size for the captains, as well as how the Onions would have became more advance over time, whoever created them could have just regularly returned to make upgrades. Heck, the S.S. Drake has always resembled the pikmin Onion, that could have been more important than let on. Even the Mamuta doesn't have the onion symbols directly on it, it's on wristbands that could have been created for them after finding out they were peaceful, of course who knows how that matters since in Pikmin 4 their new bands seem to have no meaning.
@@Whispernyan Nothing specifies that Water Dumples branches off from Bulborbs or vice versa. They’re cousins. Both came from Amphibians, with Water Dumples adapting to be primarily active underwater and Bulborbs adapting to the land. I would recommend this Pikmin Phylogenetic tree by Lady Sophie:
www.tumblr.com/cartographers-office/722855012167041024/my-pikmin-tree
While Bulborbs don’t have eyelids that close, again that is something that could’ve reasonably evolved to see better in low light as a nocturnal species (this is why the reptiles you mentioned evolved to lost their eyelids).
Bulby is likely the same species as Oatchi, and now that we’ve physically seen these alien dogs I think it’s quite safe to say the resemblance to Bulborbs is coincidental. Pikmin also don’t resemble Pikpik carrots all too greatly. We also know from the Pikmin 4 Demo that space travel of the leader races only began over a dozen or so generations ago. PNF-404 was completely undiscovered before Olimar’s arrival - if a race familiar with Bulborbs and Pikpik carrots had been to the planet, it would’ve already been documented. Olimar crashed on PNF-404 while traveling through uncharted territory during a space-cation. It wasn’t between two inhabited colonies as far as we know, the S.S. Dolphin’s autopilot just happened to pass by:
“Once I had my fill of this delicious dinner, I climbed into my warm bed and began to think of the leisurely vacation that would start the next morning. I finally fell into a deep, peaceful sleep. The journey began well. With no set destination in mind, I simply allowed the sleek Dolphin to make its own efficient way through the vast reaches of space.”
The Onions also probably didn’t become more advanced overtime, we’ve just seen different models in the various games that were made long before Olimar’s first crash.
The new Mamuta bands are the same as the old ones, as far as I can tell…
I absolutely LOVE how you got Olimar's voice like that, I must know how that was done! Please!!!
I’ve explained in a little more depth in other replies, but the gist of it is that I got his voice clips from Pikmin 3 Deluxe and assembled them in my editor!
@seandwalsh3 thank you!
What is the method of assembling them?
@@iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii3048 lining them up in different arrangements until they sounded right!
@@seandwalsh3 👍 thanks
considering the existence of, what i will just call microweapons, it honestly kinda reminds me of the chibi robo games
haha maybe they take place in the same universe and we just don't know it yet
Featherless bipeds
i believe that this is an interesting and mostly sound theory, it could be that the games are all set very recently after said "war" considering the scale of life on the planet, possibly hinting at a very low oxygen percent in the atmosphere
Ooh, this suddenly clicked many things into place!! Enough oxygen to cover small life, not enough to reach the nostrils of an erect hominid.
Seeing as the atmosphere in PNF-404 causes organisms to grow leaves and require the PNF atmosphere to live, it may have been that humanity turned into another, leafier species as a result of the atmosphere. With the Man At Legs and Gatling Gronk being their attempts at exterminating the Pikmin due to their unforseen side affects on the environment.
Question, how would the gattling groink, and man at leggs be effective war weapons considering their tiny size? not to mention their limited range.
Small weapons are quite effective. I certainly don’t think I’d fare well against a Man-at-legs if I was pitted against one. Its bullets would pierce right through you and it’s too small a target to effectively return fire to.
The Gatling Groink is probably a bit less effective, but not every test is a success, I’m sure the Subterranean Complex’s military facility had many more experiments that we don’t get to see.
Speaking of which, I didn’t mention this in the video as it requires a little more explanation, but the Careening Dirigibug is also definitely man-made in my opinion.
Imagine a swarm of men at legs at an enemy shelter during a war? It would be a mess considering that they shoot real explosive projectlies that are much much bigger than pikmin, wich means that they should be somewhat of the size of a small bullet
You know Ant-Man? Basically Ant-Man. Though to be more precise, The Hornet. The power of a tank, all compressed to the size of a bug without reducing its firepower.
That's actually some scary stuff.
the concept of pikmin as engineered creatures to counter the climate collapse is really interesting!
Love to see other content!
I think the pellet posey's number is more so a game thing since no one mentions the numbers in game, still that takes little away from the theory.
Funny enough I did have a similar theory but mine more so had pikmin being made for pest control and trainable to do small tasks, with man-at-legs being an earlier or competing version of pest control
The Pellet Posy numbers are definitely an in-universe thing. Olimar draws them in his log illustrations. Plus, unlike say the numbers that appear when Pikmin actually lift objects, the numbers on Pellets are actually part of the model. They have texture. If they were just there for gameplay that wouldn’t be the case.
Going by your theory perhaps humans aren't as gone as believed, perhaps humans had no choice but to leave and ended up on a far away planet with a few coming to check the pikmin progress on short stays, the onions could have been made as a remote control system but needed time to grow and was waiting for a human, the bio machines may have been used to hunt mutations but some missed the recall before pikmin mission started
Haven't watched but if its that they are artifical creations and Mamutas were also created to tend to them, I called it lol
A fantastic theory video! It's a shame that very few people do these for Pikmin so it's always nice to see someone make a video and a good one at that! Oh, and since Pikmin 4 has been released, do you plan on making a part 2 of some kind?
Thank you! I’ve got to finish playing Pikmin 4 before I decide that, but as of right now I think the video holds up enough on its own and I don’t see anywhere to expand upon it, other than just showing even more evidence of things I’ve already stated in the video.
I wouldn’t write off the possibility of more Pikmin theories in the future though! I just need a bit of inspiration…
I don't think Pikmin games give you enough information for you to conclude an origin story for them.
Will you make a series explaining your timeline in depth? That's what we're here for, bro!
I would like to eventually, but before that I have other projects that need doing!
@@seandwalsh3 Do you think you could tell me the bare minimum games to play that are a) actually good and b) important to the lore?
@alena0327 I’ve been asked this question before but that’s sort of an impossible one to answer. I would say every game on the timeline is actually good. I enjoy them all at least. Every game also adds to the lore in one way or another, so again it’s not really possible to answer.
Some games are only relevant to certain aspects of the lore, but you’d have to ask about said specific aspects for me to tell you relevant games to those aspects.
@@seandwalsh3 I think I wanna do a podcast where I play through the series in timeline order with maybe a friend or two. Does that sound like a good idea?

Haha, they’re quite similar!
I have a onion evolution theory they start as a queen candy pop bud pikmin between the colors once a color is chosen it becomes that color with photosynthesis the color flower closes evolving in to the onion the flower roots become the onion stems
Time for Pikmin timeline
I just figured out PNF-404 stands for PLANET-NOT-FOUND-404 because it was a undiscovered planet
ill say this here and now, the pikmin series will not end until we get concrete proof that actual, real humans existed and/or still exist in the pikmin universe.
Pikmin 4 confirmed something big about humans, though I don’t want to spoil the game if you haven’t played it yet.
I wanna think that pikmin is in the same universe as all tomorrows and thus.
-the hocotatians are posthumans
-and everything on pnf-404 aka earth was the result of the qu messing around.
I think bulbmin was made to control the popular of ofter creatures but it weird that they can not leave the cave or have a onion . I think that they are a pikmin type that live only for a week and are more aggressive then ofter pikmin as the bulbmin parent at like a normal bulbord who is in oilmar note .
Bulbmin are likely wild Hermikmin that evolved to burrow into creatures instead of Rocks or Ice after Humans left, I would say.
I theorized pikmin left in the ground grow into the candypop bud and then the onion
Interesting
I’m going through a Pikmin Pikmania because of the Pikmin 4 demo
I’m not certain how relevant the Mamuta are here. Aren’t they implied to be relatively intelligent species potentially preferring gardens as “decoration”? Perhaps their instinct is actually cultural, hence explaining their odd behaviors and patterning.
There might be evidence to the contrary, though.
It’s instinctual rather than cultural - converting leaf and Bud Pikmin to Flower Pikmin and everything about the Smoky Progg show a much clearer connection.
There’s also the fact that the Mamuta’s species, genus and family are unknown. They’re biological oddities.
I think that they originate from flaric because i think flaric evolves into colored onions and flaric can be carried into the onion to increase the amount of pikmin it can reproduce.
The Onions or the Pikmin? It’s recently been revealed that the Pikmin are a separate species that have a symbiotic relationship with onions.
@@seandwalsh3 I knew it
How did you get the captain noises for the narration?
I got the relevant sound files and assembled the individual clips to sound like the in-game voices in my editor.
Alph’s voice was the easiest, I found it on the Sounds Resource. Brittany I got from the a Pikmin 3 Sound Effect dump on the Pikipedia Forums.
Olimar was the hardest, as his voice is only in Pikmin 3 Deluxe. I eventually got it by contacting BajaBlastGrrl03 on Twitter, who I knew had done a Pikmin 3 Deluxe OST rip and therefore had the game’s files. Lady Sophie sifted through thousands of sound files to find them and send them to me!

My thoughts after listening to this is humans realize that if they don’t save the planet now they wouldn’t be able to so scientist made pikmin pikmin bloom is what happens then you the player are in the game a bit before this then it was to late they were to slow they leave the planet then pikmin 1 good ending pikmin 2 pikmin 3 pikmin 3 sidestorys now humans see that earth is habitable again they come back make houses again now we are at 4 and hey probably after side or before and then I’m just gonna say it stay tuned for the next spin off.
can you do video why the flora on the planet giant?
It’s only giant compared to the Leader species, who are comparatively tiny. This is because of the higher levels of Oxygen in the planet’s atmosphere, as Brittany states in Pikmin 3.

spoilers for the Pikmin 4 demo
Pikmin 4 says Pellet posies are actually just using creatures to spread their seed. This means, obviously, they didn't evolve to exactly help the Pikmin. It also says that onions are very closely related to Candypop buds because they are in the same family. However, Pikmin are their own thing, Pikminidae. Onions, in 4 at least, are much more natural, but I still don't think they are native to PNF-404. Pikmin and the Candypop family are too weird, even for the planet. I think PNF-404 has more to it, look at the Plasms. Very clearly, don't belong. And they are also of unknown families, like Mamuta. So my theory, the Plasms came to PNF-404 to do something. Down more ships, or something. On some different planets, humans saw this and sent Pikmin to 1. End the plasms, 2. Help the Captains, and 3. Help the environment of the planet grow. (This Is also assuming the Umibōzu theory is true)
edit: I'm also implying that the plasms are the cause of the radiation, geographic shifts, and so on because I don't think it would be natural for it to happen without a "guiding hand" as Olimar says.
I’m aware of this, but it’s important to keep in mind that these logs are written from the perspective of xenobiologists who have limited information (for example, Olimar believing the Man-at-legs was “approached” by its mechanical parts rather than altered deliberately by a higher being).
Pellet Posies clearly have a greater connection to the Pikmin themselves with their nectar crystallising in relevant Onion/Pikmin colours, and the literal weight in human digits on them.
The Waterwraith is extradimensional, apparently, but the Plasm Wraith clearly has some connection to the planet’s life force, seeing as some event caused its psychic wound and it can replicate seemingly any nectar-based species (it may not even be related to the Waterwraith, as Olimar specifies in Pikmin 3 Deluxe: “It reminds me very much of the waterwraith, and at first I wondered if it was also an ectoplasmic incarnation. However, enough others have seen and encountered it to dispel this theory.”).
Humans almost definitely died out before becoming space-caring themselves. It’s also worth noting that the Umibōzu theory, at least as it was proposed years ago, is pretty thoroughly debunked these days.

what about the pikmin's natural ability to fight? it seems strange that an animal designed for planting flowers would be so violent
that and I am a little bit against the theory because just to me "the humans did it" is a little bit of an overused trope
In Pikmin Bloom they can also be sent to attack Mushrooms, that’s where their ability to “fight” comes from. They also use this to break their pellets from the pellet posies.
I’m afraid Pikmin 4 also essentially outright confirms the theory.
SIUUUUUUU
Who’s this guy/women/them this is the first time I’ve seen them but they make great content I’m subscribing 👍🏻
I’m a guy, he/him
Ok thanks for clearing that up have a great rest of your day 👍🏻
this planet couldn't be earth cause the planet landmasses haven't enough time to change form cause mmaybe if this universe travel to a new planet to colonized and the new planet landmasses not unstable and the humans created new life using alien space-junk, explains the rapid evolution.
It is clearly Earth. That’s the whole point of the series. As mentioned in the video, the rate of natural changes such as plate tectonics and evolution has increased.
@@seandwalsh3 but never know I hard to believe but if it's not earth they what?

Hay, look up "Pangaea Proxima" and then look at the Pikmin 3 world map.
70th like!
I think they doggies ;:/
