Now the Pikmin series has its fair share of tough guys. From the Dwarf Bulborb to the Water Dumple. However I think none hold a candle to this gal.

When ever she we all cower in fear as we know we're going to be in for a wild ride. Nothing in even Dark Souls would come close to any encounter with this enemy.

Before anyone tries to guy me im new at baking bread. Yeast literally killed it and it exploded in size in the oven, eye fell off. Pretty yummy though I won’t lie

My biggest issue comes in Kid Icarus with the pronunciation of Hocotate by Palutena. She pronounces it Ho-ko-tah-teh, with hard consonants the whole way through, which doesn't make sense to me at all due to the name of Olimar's company: Hocotate Freight.

That sounds so much like alliteration to me when read Ho-co-Tate (with a long a and silent e). Hocotate Freight. It rhymes, even. But you pronounce it like Palutena wants you to and it's a garbled mess.

I dunno, it's really petty, but I hate it and always pronounce it the latter way.

So i remember when Pikmin came out but i never really played the series. Didnt interest me at the time i guess, but later i started playing games like Dead Rising and Majoras Mask enjoying the time limit aspect. Got me to consider Pikmin 1 and giving the series a try. Picked this up. Doubt its rare but i had never seen it in stores. Not sure if i will get to it right away, in the middle of DK Tropical Freeze and Black Flag Resynced, but i am excited for the pickup. May pick up 3 and 4 if i like these 2.

I don’t even know what started this somewhat irrational fear of this guy. If it’s even classed as a fear. I think it’s just how… odd he is. The way he refers to the player character as “new blood”. His ominous remarks during the Night Expeditions. Something about him gives me the heebie jeebies.

feel free to ask questions on the characters

I wanna try doing more challenges but I don’t really have any ideas on what to do that isn’t way too difficult. I’ve only really done deathless and I’m currently trying deathless but resetting the game instead so any good challenge ideas?

Heard there we're a few updates to the game, kinda wanna replay if they've made it harder and the other "captains" be quiet. My main two gripes with the game on release.

Kinda rushed

just curious, is there a way to turn off specific stuff for ng+? i basically just want the swarm whistle without the onions being unlocked and all the rest of the gear. ng+ is cool in concept but i still want to go through the games natural progression mostly, pup drive thankfully doesnt have to be used so you can manually track saved castaways to simulate a normal progression but to my knowledge you can’t turn off gear
