- The Pikmin world is too conveniently crafted, and I suspect something or someone is messing with our captains.

Awesome theory dude! And thanks for including me!!
Your Onion theory was an eye opener!
@@Raggins I appreciate that dude! Yours definitely feels like it has weight to it. Especially considering all the weird landscape details you've pointed out. Like a Nuketown for Pikmin and Captains or something.
@@VarietyTelevisionit’s you! I remember watching your videos before Pikmin 4 realeased!
@@Ragginsthe red pikmin in the thumbnail doesn’t have a nose, is that a mistake or intentional?
@@Raggins I have a Theory that the reason everyone came to this planet is to find Olimar
Everething is a simulation nowadays
This comment is a simulation
What if the real simulation was the friends we made along the way
@@AreGeeBeeokay that’s too far
Yep, seems like “everething” is a simulation. I don’t actually mean that, life’s great. 👍 enjoy it while you can have it guys…
@@anthonyharrison308 You should watch free guy if you haven’t. It touches on some concepts involving our lives just being a simulation and if it even really matters.
This. This is what I've been thinking about. The real world doesn't change as fast as in PIKMIN without humans. A box can't be in a place it wasn't just a few weeks ago, and just looking at all of the sites in Olimar's tale couldn't have changed so fast, and then not change at all while you're on the planet. Not to mention how every piece of food is perfectly fine at all times, and the house is completely intact. The humans should have been gone for ages, so why is this the fact? something is wrong with the planet, but if im gonna believe it's a simulation im gonna need a lot of evidence.
My theory is that there's some kind of space-time distortion going on, and that this is also why ships crash onto the planet so often. This would also explain how the Water Wraith appeared in the games, and by extension the Plasm Wraith. Though the big issue here is WHY these distortions are happening and.....really there could be any number of things causing them.
@@Jarsix42A lot of people theorize the wraiths are the ones causing it, making people crash land so often.
Ayo wait you’re the guy who commented on my video
@@FlamingSpiral20 I'm everywhere so probably
Maybe mamutas are some sort of pikmin but doesn't like seeing other actual pikmin
Bloom solved this paradox for me. Humans and Pikmin coexist, but we need camera technology to observe and interact with one another, hence the AR screen. It's like we're dimensionally out of phase with the Pikmin and their ecosystem.
…oh my god, that’s… actually a really good idea lol
we're ALL water wraiths.
GOD.
Or some other kind of wraith @@SomeNebulaGuy
@@frowner_and_coflesh wraiths
Imagine if there was a neo city in Pikmin 4? I'd imagine the map would be decently sized, during the day missions the lights would obviously be off. I could imagine the same would be true for the night missions since there's 0 electricity. You could reactivate the electricity with Yellow Pikmin like in Pikmin 3, so that you can see more of where you're going since It'd be fairly dark normally.
Bro, exploring a giant city in Pikmin would basically be as awesome as Hero's Hideaway
Honestly, as well made as your theory is, i really hope its not true, pikmin is simply much more interesting when the antagonists are forces of nature themselves or mysterious creatures, having all of pikmin just be "tests" by a giant coorporation would be straight up boring
good video tho
Given what we see, I could argue that they created a bunch of species and let them loose and Olimar happened to crash land near there so they started Pikmin 4 from there with everything being half natural, half man made, heck I could even argue that the dog escaped from somewhere and was never meant to be found
This is the feeling I got too once I entered one of those aquarium caves. It seems much more like a lab rather than just a pretty decoration aquarium
It’s hinted at that the small people of Hocotate, Koppai, Giya, etc. are human descendants. That kind of breaks this theory.
Very creative. But this really is a "game theory" theory. A sort of "why do the blocks in Mario float?"-type beat lmao
"Aliens exist! Let's force them to crash land on earth and make them travel obstacle courses while under threat of death from genetically altered mutants instead of just observing them in space or dissecting one to learn concrete facts about its biological make-up"
because that can be done after the fact this opportunity is a one time thing
A simulation also explains how you can hop into a cave to end up in a room with windows and light shining through despite supposedly being underground and how good items seem to be fresh as though they were recently placed. Maybe they used a similar trick like in the movie “now you see me” where the antagonist uses a construction chute to hypnotize the protagonists, move them to a new location then put them through another chute to wake them up. Is this possible? Idk, it was just an interesting connection my mind made.
I think it's a different dimension personally. Like the humans are in the house, just in their own dimension. The barriers between the two are weak which causes some small items to slip over(treasures) or exist in both dimensions simultaneously. Time also likely works very differently in either of the dimensions and could even flow in different directions. When a dog slipped over it changed the timeline of the pikmin dimension drastically resulting in Pikmin 4. The water wraith is also said to be rooted in another dimension and can only brought over due to the purple pikmin's extradimensional gravitational waves. It could be a being that exists between dimensions.
I love it when people make theories they’re very creative. Have an imagination I’m like that too. Thanks for making a wonderful video.
I always thought of Pikmin’s reasoning behind all of the mysterious crash landings was somewhat similar to Subnautica’s (Spoilers by the way), in that some form of technology is drawing in ships to keep something from leaving the planet. Perhaps, the Onions really are the reason, crashing nearby ships to convert their pilots and crew into permanent leaders for the Pikmin.
Edit: I thought of something else. Olimar consistently mentions in the Piklopedia that Onions potentially replicate the matter they absorb, and change themselves and their associated Pikmin. Perhaps, by having captains transformed into leaders for the Pikmin, the Onions are attempting to speed up this evolutionary process using them as catalysts. Perhaps the Onion is attempting to evoke a way to leave the planet.
humans being alive is a wild theory cant wait to see
I prefer to believe that the humans became the wraiths/goolix’s, and another distant civilization more inline with our protagonists created the pikmin, the onions and the mamuta, but your theory is pretty good all things considered.
this can be explained by the waterwraith, a SAPIENT creature which mean it’s very curious.
Ive always assumed that some humans were still alive maybe like 99% dissapeared due to pikmin 2 the areas are accually reused expanded areas of pikmin 1 except the first and last area and stuff was definitely changed between the small time between 1 and 2 in the 3rd area a box of sand is in the spot were u laned your ship and onion but u land on the box this time also walls were put up were they weren't before in p1 and yes the house changing around between the events of olimar heading in there and the rescue corps going there to rescue him.
I really enjoy this theory and was something I had not thought about.
My own personal "theory" i guess, its kinda dumb, but it is a game developed by Olimar's son. He loves video games after all and could become a developer.
I think the problem with this theory is that, if the rest of humanity were still there, then they would certainly be detected by all the signals and broadcasts that our civilization throws out constantly.
i think this is the best explanation:
the plasm wraith restored the planet to what it looked like before the humans left to lure them back
the goolix, foolix, water wraith, and plasm wraith are different parts of the same being
it gets its power from humans, thats why it cared for olimar and why it hasnt killed anyone
it also causes all the crashes and wants everyone to stay on the planet
in pikmin 1 there was only the goolix, very weak, olimar was the only one on the planet
in pikmin 2 there was the water wraith, stronger, olimar, louie, and the president were on the planet,
in pikmin 3 there was the plasm wraith, with the power to create fake enemies , olimar louie and the koppaites were on the planet
in pikmin 4 there are many water wraiths and the foolix, there are tons of people on the planet so theres lots of water wraiths to stop their escape
@algebrathemeow420by that logic, the plasm wraith could also be an amoeba thanks to it's form when chasing down the koppaites carrying olimar (mysterious life form), heck it even has a nucleus in place
I have a theory that pikmin 4 takes place in a different universe than the others and it has a different story but still in the pikmin multiverse and also great theory dude
The Game NEVER mentioned that Pikmin takes place in a World after Humans.
Only Shigeru Miyamoto suggested this in interviews, and he is known to just straight-up lie about the lore in his games to mess with the fans who obsess over "Word of God," as Miyamoto makes an effort to minimize his stories' complexity as much as possible.
but you never see the lights of the cities from space, in every cinematic, you never see traces of human infrastructures in the entire planet
And PIKMIN 4 is a split timeline
Across the pikminverse
I like your theory… but what about shepherd’s ancestors?
what about them
Shepherd’s ancestors are human! So that would mean that they’re doing a simulation on humans, I think this rabbit hole goes a lot deeper than Raggins had anticipated! But I’ll leave that open ended
for now…
I also have a theory, maybe there was a nuclear bomb and all of the chemicals transformed people in to Pikmin, frogs to wollyhops, and other stuff like a rock can be a cannon beetle and a pebble would be the smaller kne
Bro, you thought the same thing I did! Well, sort of. I thought humans were transformed into pikmin
As a nerd I Really want to dive into what would happen if every human went away such as ice ages and mass extinction but I'm gonna hold myself back
Humanity thrived during the last Ice Age using tools & intellect to hunt Large Animals. With modern technology we can easily thrive in a frozen world. Supposing humanity abandoned Earth or we had a Dr Stone incident it would take a few decades for modern well made structures to crumble under the force of nature.
@WaterKirby1994 what I mostly meant by an ice age is that if humanity went away, it would be followed by an ice age due to all the heat that humans give off going away, and then that would be followed by a mass extinction because so many things cannot survive without humans. (Crops --> Bugs --> Small animals --> Big animals --> near everything)
@@pikminfan123_ More species would benefit from the absence of humans than those that would be harmed by our no longer existing. You'll be surprised by how many species were driven to extinction or near that point just from human actions.
Also if humanity vanished tomorrow it would take several decades for temperatures to fall back to what they should be. Of course there will someday come a point in which our sun ends all life on Earth at which point humans will be needed for things to survive.
I mean yeah that's basically what a game is
Bro went fucking insane LMAO
Ah yes... the classic "its a simulation" theory. Every fandom has one.
And you're technically not wrong either... it IS a video game after all, that qualifies it as a simulation.
They always land near the same areas, right? I feel like there was a recent nuclear leak or explosion, and the local populace noped the fuck out/were evacuated somewhere. Everything electrical still has power and the water is still running, and the Hocatae are less than an inch tall. They experience time differently, and by nature are capable of reaching closer to light speeds due to their lack of mass compared to us and our tech. So its likely that Pikmin 1-3 takes place within about 7 months, since Pikmin 1 had Olimar missing for about a single month, and its been a few in Pikmin 4 iirc
If the joy con is still working properly, you can tell the game takes place within 6 months of March 2017.
Great vid!! Next you should make a timeline theory bc I almost have no clue where this game falls in the series
i just saw a great theory from Invizeron about how all the people in pikmin are descendants of modern humans
they left the planet to escape nuclear war
i disagree with his explanation for why the humans are smaller
he says they shrunk themselves but i think its just because they adapted to their environments
koppaites can breath oxygen but koppai has less oxygen than pnf-404 so they still have to wear suits
Them descending from humans isn't a theory it got confirmed
The shepred chronicles litteraly confirm this
Game boy advanced battery lasting 20 years is the most real thing I have ever heard
New blood watched the Truman Show 💀
So you think we crash everytime we go to PNF-404? WRONG! In the fake ending of pikmin 4 (the one where oatchi gets sick) olimar tells us to go back to the planet and guess what? THEY DIDNT CRASH! Rip theory.
Ragins's theory:the captains from pikmin are aliens we actually know about and it might be right now!
The news: The American government has confirmed that aliens exist!
Me: coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!!
Perhaps if humans were still alive they must of thought that the captains were aliens and using force pulled them down to the ground and all humans went down in a bunker and had advanced technology to protect everything.
I like to think the pikmin stems look like an antennae, while the onions flower(?) Look somewhat like a satellite dish
Upd: just came back to this comment and my auto correct did me dirty.
Finely I’m not late I was trying to get on stream on time but finally I got here in time:)
well humans are still alive
thats how im able to type this
and pikmin 4 is a video game so its basically a simulation
your theory is common sense
Great video! I just want to ask what music did you use at 4:50 ? Anyways I hope to see more theories soon
(why does the red pikmin in the thumbnail not have a nose 😭)
Absolutely love that song. It’s called Slumbering Weald from Pokémon Sword and Shield
@@Raggins Thx so much it sounded so familiar but I couldn't remember what it was
Idk what would happen, I would be half-gone
0:45 oh thats amazing
that could be the explanation for why theres so much radiation on pnf-404
there doesnt have to be a nuclear war the nuclear plants could have just exploded
I've always just assumed it's a kid playing with the Pikmin.
7:14 bro really forgot the water wrath, and the smoky progg existed
My Pikmin4 Theory is that humans are still alive and Piknim4 just takes place in some family's backyard while they're on vacation or they just moved
Wow your theory is good
It is a simulation. Like bro, we play it on our switch.
If being a lab rat is what it means to enjoy pikmin then I don't mind being smol alien
I feel like this could perfectly set up for the true final boss in Pikmin 4 dlc, A human
In the logs for one of the puzzle pieces, Olimar says that the dogs in the photo look familiar probably because of ancient memories in his genome, meaning that Nintendo is trying to imply that the "humans" (like Olimar) are dependents of Earths humans. Furthermore if you look at the shepherd family history, you can see that the first rescue core captain is the one that left earth. There have been 99 Shepherd family leaders leading the game meaning it has been a looooong time since they've been to earth. Perhaps something has been maintaining earth or maybe it has to do with what caused the humans to leave or, perhaps, Nintendo does't care and there is no good answer 😢.
That’s wild
Bro almost made me cry
"They all take inspiration from every animal on earth." *groovy long legs*
i just like to believe kids are playing with pikmins just like they play with ants
Not expecting a moral lesson, heh. Interesting theory. But, as you keep alluding to, Nintendo generally doesn't care to ensure their stories work well, they tend to put in just enough effort to make it work with the game play.
The aliens doing tests on us: wtf
I love the game theory reference
The captains probably all went to 1 point in the planet because olimars sos signal was there
Wait, i have a better therory, it is just olimar dreaming of crashing again on the pikmin planet, and he does not make it so he creates something called a “leafling” he also can not die because when he dies he becomes more of a pikmin, so olimar makes it less cruel and he is trapped in his own min
What if in any future Pikmin games you go back to the planet and the house is destroyed and you can go upstairs
That red pikmin in the thumbnail has expierienced more pain then Me doing math😂
The world isn't a few kilometers. Its a house and its backyard.
My theory is that there were like 7 nukes shot at each continent, but were enough to cover the whole world and then humanity started wearing gas masks, then creatures like the arachnorbs, dweevils, wraiths, and snagrets wiped out humanity
you should make video trailers tbh
raggins is peak entertainment
I think this theory has a lot of holes but would be nuts if true
My fam affords 70 day vacations and somehow doesn’t have anything bigger then a 5 piece apartment.
THANKY YOU RAGGINS FOR EXESTENTIAL DREAD!
THAT PIKMIN DOESN’T HAVE A NOSE AND I HATE IT
Welp. They did say Pikmin 5 isn't unconfirmed
Also geiger counter from olimar ship is working and is crazy so i think there is a bit of radiation in the planet
My theory is that humans left the earth or died out because of the toxicity in the air (as proven by captain olimar) and that few creatures who are tiny could've survived and evolve without the humans. Still this was a great theory.
didn't olimar say that the toxic gas on the planet was Oxygen?
pikmin fans realy went crazy with no new games in 10 years
You could talk about how a pikmin rpg wuold look like
Theory idea:olimar and the others are humans
Hear me out…. What if only one country got nuked and we are in a different location? I mean in fallout they mention Brazil is the only place that’s still normal while the rest of the world is all badlands, we could just be somewhere that didn’t get destroyed
“Rebooted” Pikmin 4 as Pikmin 1 isn’t necessarily true, it’s a prequel to Pikmin 3
"Prequel" Pikmin 4 as Pikmin 2.5 isn’t necessarily true, it's a reboot to Pikmin 1
It was already obvious since pikmin 2 since there is a jack o lantern there.
Do you have any idea how fast those rot after being carved?
still closing my eye
Never told me to open my eyes, I didn’t see any of the vid.
But hey thats just a theory, A GAME THEORY
i think that's what a game is
Where is my boy's nose??
There’s an imposter among us
He is the simulation
@@RagginsAmong Us reference!
Red pikmin without nose horrific
Due to a joke Nintendo made we know pikmin takes place in the year 2024
What if we just abandon it and some humans left here?
当世界崩溃、植物生长、动物生存时，世界就会发生这种情况
So could Pikmin 1,2,and 3 are also simulations?
All the nuclear power plant would explode causing a meltdown for 10 years
It’s not 💀
Pikmans!!!
That humans are the pikmin
Ok thats cool and all, but why does the pikmin in the thumbnail not have a nose
What about all the dogs being evolved from earth dogs?
Didnt all the captains go to olimars last general location?
the humans are the umibozu
Pikmin is a simulation? Ridiculous! Next you'll say it's all just a video game, or something
