Why Pikmin 3 is My Favorite One

The worst part of Pikmin 3 is that the new characters unknowingly insult Olimar by confusing him with the absolute villain that is Louie.

Pikmin being called peakmin is a complete understatement

I truly have to thank Pikmin 3 for helping me survive 4th grade. Everyone else in my class struggled with fractions but I understood them because of Pikmin. Thanks miyamoto.

Something to note in this game is that around day 50-99 Alf starts to write about how tired he is and how much he wants to go home and it starts to feel really depressing as you reach the 99 day limit (the max amount of days you can play before running out of fruit to collect and juice to drink)

3:12 Ok some parts of their backstory are seen in the end-of-day logs and when they’re talking in the S.S Drake. Alph is apparently the second youngest in a huge family, and his grandfather was the one who built the spaceship they’re using (he also talked about how his grandfather taught him all he knew) Brittany briefly talks about her aunt back on koppai in the fruit files. And Charlie apparently has a pet duck and a dog waiting for him to come back home. Olimar and Louie are really compelling characters, but the pikmin 3 captains have their own charm to them.

I find it strange that something like Pikmin has such deep lore, but I’m all for it.

Seeing schaff's constant love for this series has made me a huge fan recently. Thank you schaff for getting me into pikmin <3

The Plasm Wrath is my absolute favorite boss in the series. It's the only creature that can really be called a "character" since it obviously has deeper motivations for what it does that are still somewhat ambiguous. My favorite take is that it was so incredibly lonely being the only creature at the Formidable Oak (which may or may not have been its own fault), it created clones of tons of different creatures, and when Olimar - an actually real living being - showed up, it immediately got attached and went mama bear mode, not realizing it was slowly killing what it now thought was its child.

Its cool that the Forgotten Cove is basically Forest Navel but they remembered to pay the power bill after Pikmin 2.

“Graphics aren’t everything. I should know, I play Pokémon.” I feel you bro

Now it’s “Why Pikmin 3 is my Second Favorite”

I think that other than two red has always been supremely useful as a 1.5 damage multiplier is absurdly useful and can allow you to do much more

The challenge mode in this game is dangerously addicting for me

Pikmin 3 is the only one I’ve played so far, hoping to play 1 and 2 now that they’re on Switch! But it was an amazing introduction to the series, honestly.

24:08. Winged Pikmin actually do have a use against the Plasm Wraith. When, it starts levitating, you can make the winged pikmin charge at the Wraith, causing it to fall, and drop a bunch of blobs for the other pikmin to destroy

the amount of pikmin content lately has been amazing 😭

You gotta respect schrafillas for posting these kind of videos, not because others told him to , but because he truly wants to keep doing these.

I never even knew what Pikmin was but now thanks to this video I’ve become a pikmin myself, thank you Schaff

13:20 That’s only in the Switch version. On the Wii U, whistling your Pikmin will make them stop whatever they’re doing and join you.

I've been stressed out throughout this entire week. This video, despite coming from a franchise I'm not particularly passionate towards, really helped me. It's just nice seeing James talk about stuff he really likes
