Arlo's love of this series is contagious. I've never played Pikmin but now I want to check it out.

I remember I was in fifth grade when they said pikmin 4 is "almost done" and I was so excited. I am now in college and I finally get to play it.

I do kinda like the idea of Pikmin 4 not being a sequel to 3 but rather an alternate "what if" story about what happens after the bad ending of Pikmin 1. I think its cool to imagine the Hocotatians and/or Koppaites kept trying to send rescue parties to find Olimar but they keep mysteriously disappearing.

_Pikmin 4_ coming out soon, and Pikmin 1 and 2 HD ports on Switch out now? Never has there been a better time to be or follow Arlo.

"being a Pikmin fan is like walking across desert, endless sand dunes, all you want is water" Arlo has such a beautiful way with his words

[bighairedyolol]

the fact that this didn’t have bulbmin yet still made me unbelievably excited really says something

[partymaster]

I feel like the red Pikmin Olimar is essentially a wild group of Pikmin that had a dedicated leader that evolved to guide their species, as Pikmin have been observed to last longer with a captain leader. They likely took the familiar form of Olimar as he has been to the planet constantly, and generation after generation of Pikmin have seen him and maybe even learned of him. It may have just been an evolutionary advantage that their genes finally took hold of. But, who knows.

I can’t get over how cool it is to finally get to explore the inside of a house in a pikmin game, not counting that challenge map in 3

These videos are honestly gold just hearing Arlo gush about his favorite games.

My possible Olimar theory; He willingly made himself a pikmin.
(spoilers for 1 & 2)
In Olimar's logs he's always so analytical and awe-struck by pikmin, his observations and notes coming
from a very scientific point of view. He really seems to love the world they live on, Maybe in his experience fighting Louie who was 'living'
with the Titan Dweevil, he thought the same would be possible with pikmin? That he could carry on, live as they do in their world?
Giving himself up in a very Avatar sort of way. Maybe he's kidnapping explorers to show them the wonders of life as a pikmin?
He's got a wife and kids though so kind of a dick move lmao 'hey honey I'm gonna go become a carrot peace'

Glow really feels like the white/winged to Ice’s purple/rock and as someone who loves White and Winged’s cute designs, I gladly welcome Glow to the list of Pikmin with open arms. Genuinely might end up becoming my favorite Pikmin type

[Throwawayman]

It was genius to port Pikmin one and two so that new Pikmin players would also feel more excited about old types returning

[DannoDraws]

I agree about the weirdness of the red glowing eyes, it would’ve been cooler to just have larger creatures with more health to pose a bigger challenge, but either way the game will be fantastic and win game of the year and it’ll sell better than any game in history and bring the franchise the ultimate glory and respect we all wish it had 😁

Arlo single-handedly writing the Pikmin manifesto is everything I need

[projectkurison]

There's a story snippet somewhere that states that the rescue corps received Olimar's distress signal and set out to rescue him a month after the signal was sent out. It specifically states *a month*. As in, they set out to save him *after 30 days has already passed*. Just sayin

[Sylvia_Corvidev]

I saw someone run a poll on what was most exciting between this, the Pokemon DLC, Mario Wonder, and the new Sonic game, and Pikmin got _less than 1% of the votes..._ people are missing out

[lasercraft]

As hype as the glow Pikmin are... I kinda wish they had kept them a secret. Like, the most INSANE thing ever was when we discovered the Depths in Tears of the Kingdom. There was barely more than a few hints at the Depths in the trailers, and discovering them was a HUGE surprise to me! Imagine if the Glow Pikmin were the same? Kinda like how the Bulbmin were a complete surprise that didn't show up in any advertisements back in Pikmin 2.

[TheCommentSectionComedian]

I feel like we're hearing a story about how Arlo met his future wife. You can see how much he cares about this series, how every word sounds like he's savoring it - It would be fantastic to see a livestream of his first play through and seeing how he processes everything as it's happening in real-time.

Arlo single-handedly conducting the Pikmin hype train.

Everytime Arlo talks about Pikmin gives me the biggest smile on my face, the inner child within him blossoms out and it always brings me joy. :3
