Olimar's Wife Has Problems

It's weird because like, everybody is meaner in this game. Nasty world in Pikmin 2.

[dvdplayer-]

Hearing Olimar talk about his struggles with his wife is peak Pikmin lore for me. It’s never gets old

[rebelprincess]

Whoever was writing Pikmin 2 must’ve been going through a really nasty divorce

[ericthegreat]

The only thing worse than Dandori issues is DOMESTIC ISSUES!

[maskedking]

I believe there's a log in Pikmin 4 where Olimar talks about cooking dinner for his wife and how much she'd like that. Olimar says he misses those times

[sandwich_bubbles]

Olimar is characterized by being a normal guy surrounded by insanity. So it makes perfect sense his Wife would be pretty crazy. Man I wish they’d flesh them out more, I’d like nothing more than a game where all four of them are the main protagonists.

This is the actual reason to complete Pikmin 2 as quickly as possible. It's not like 1 or 3 where you'll die if you don't, but instead to keep Olimar's family from breaking down.

[rayhayden]

She's a gold digger, oli. Run for the friggin' hills.

[Metahunt]

Poor children, I mean imagine your father leaves to go get money for months and then your mother neglects you and your siblings and your dog, And then she sends you and your sibling to an all day school and then spends all the money on her gambling issues, *Talk about a dandori issue*

[Vivvyboy]

That explains why Olimar can't buy his ship back in Pikmin 3, his wife took all his savings

I hope Olimar gets the kids in the divorce. 😢

[PokefanR]

You know something is wrong when your 3 year old is texting you about her mom ( your wife)

[sativadiva]

Yeah, but in the treasure notes, Olimar very explicitly states how much he absolutely adores his wife. Bro literally sees the sunset and thinks of when they fell in love 🥺❤️

[Stathio]

Isn't the entire point that she's missing him so much that she's kind of having a mini breakdown? The kids all talk about how out of character it is for her, and Olimar constantly talks about how much he loves and misses her. Most of this is played for laughs/incentive to get him home and not meant to be taken this deadly seriously. I dunno- this just seems a little mean spirited considering how taken out of context it all is. She's always been feisty, and that's what Olimar loves about her, and the rest is just her going through some stuff from worrying so much about him.

Plays into pikmin 3 where I think brittany says people from olimars planet are greedy treasure hunters

[thatonebonkchoyguy]

Now, I ain't saying she's a gold digger...

[boredgabe]

Olimar can’t catch a break anywhere he goes, poor guy

[dr.metroid]

Poor Olimar... Always crashing on PNF 404, struggling to make his gold digging wife happy, being overworked and used by his greedy boss.... He's probably the most realistic fictional person I've seen in media.

[dapperpancake]

This creates an endless cycle.
Hocotate Frieght needs munny, Olimar gets said munny from treasures. Olimar gets compensated. Wifimar spends said munny. Olimar is now broke and needs munny. Olimar asks Hocotate Frieght for a raise. They decline. Olimar wonders why.
Ahem.
Hocotate Frieght needs munny.

Here's to hoping olimar gets a win 😔

[Goose_was_taken]

No wonder he keeps on "crashing" on pnf 404.

[ericamaya]

That’s why I try and finish pikmin 2 quick so I don’t break Olimars home life
