Totes agree Pik2 is mechanically superior to the original but it's also in it's QOL improvements that Pik2 is 2 easy to cheese for my tastes. Resetting dungeon floors you mess up on, no hard time limit, Purple Pikmin being so OP, so many ways 2 cheese.

Even in the 2P mode, which still rules.

A drawing of Pokemon Nidorino and Gengar coming out of linked up Gameboys to battle each other. Surrounding them is a Pikachu going through the link cable via trade, and the various menu Pokemon from RBYG.

Sorry to be a bit of a Slowpoke but here's something I wanted to cook up for Pokemon's 30th! Happy Belated Pokemon Day!

Now that Pikmin 4 is real, 3 serves as a great middle ground between what makes both 2 and 4 good. It was such a leap up from Pikmin 2 in scope and graphics and was a great use of the gamepad!

Pik 1 is jarring when you start with any of the others but I adore what it pulled off.

Ahhh I'm sorry to hear about Pik 1 but that's totally valid! I was a kid that was okay with the time limits in Pik 1, Majora's Mask, etc, so while I love Pik 4, that weird gamer kid I was/still am is like "Pik 4 is too safe for me, I want time limits, I want Pikmin tripping, I'll make it work!"

That's about the sum of it for me. Played the heck out of Pikmin 4, even streamed some of my time with it, but like most modern games once I was done I didn't want to go back. Just like with BOTW, Mario Odyssey, and more.

Pik 1 on the other hand, I always have a want to play it again.

It's weird thinking about all this because it's like it comes down to 1 VS 2 and 3 VS 4 and then the fave is decided, that's why I like asking this sometimes. 4 was absolutely easier to play than 3, but for me it was a little TOO safe (Oatchi can solo so much of it). Pik3's team was very memorable!

I've got childhood nostalgia for Pikmin 1 and 2, but moreso for Pikmin 1 because I had the Nintendo Power guide, I drew my own guide(s) for it back then, even some stupid comics, and even without that guide I never took issue with the Pikmin ai and the time limit.

Looking back, I was a weird kid.

Yea the Plasm Wraith dungeon is annoying, and I'm not a fan of being goaded into making a captain just do some circles while carrying Olimar so you can play it safe. Also not a fan of DLC locked challenge stages.

Still, 3 wins out over 4 for me cuz it looks great for Wii U and tried new things.

Aight, question for the Pikmin Enjoyers out there: What's your order of mainline Pikmin games from most to least liked?

Mine is probably 1-2-3-4, funny enough, and I'm also ranking games I'd give each like a +90% grade to.

Lip will always be alive to me too, and I hope someday Nintendo and Intelligent Systems feel like taking a shot with the series again, especially since it gets referenced a bunch.

F-Zero 99 keeps getting (quietly) updated and people clearly love seeing it again.

Thank you! A lotta people like the S2B and The Zeke, I'm glad!

The sprinkle color blush lines are also the trans flag colours! I also like drawing blush lines like little chunky sprinkles when I get the chance!

There's that for sure. Can keep pointing to this one Comic Book Guy thing here and it'll always be relevant regarding bad fans.

It's never good to become so parasocial and absorbed in a work that you stop treating the people behind it as human. I hope those that feel like that find a nicer hobby.

Pokopia will likely be my cozy game to play next week so I wanna spend some Animal Crossing time fixing up older designs.

1st pic is the DLC restaurant I made like 4 years ago, and it was in dire need of a fixup. Went back and fixed up The Captain's Rump.

My island's name is Rumpus, that's why.

I'm in my mid 30s and I'm still trying to get good at art, doesn't do you any good to think you've peaked. Besides, someone's gotta draw old puzzle game stuff.

Clearing all +130000000 levels of Blue Spheres is impossible for one human, yea, but what if a stream donothon where every dollar = one level of Blue Spheres

I mean yea for now, but that's absolutely a spot for there to be a portal one day. Maybe when the next mythical Pokemon gets announced.

But also yea wouldn't it be nice if you could stop people from acting like this by just telling them to go be creative too?

Best advice you can give someone frustrated enough to be that weird about a creator and a series, is to just cut it out before they make it worse.

22.02.2026 04:27 ๐Ÿ‘ 8 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

And yea I'm basically tattling on myself here because I remember doing that too, liking a series and thinking I knew better than the creator, and you never really do. You wanna be a good fan of something even if you've got problems with it? Find a way to make something good with that inspiration.

I would say to make some art or fanfiction for yourself if you feel angry enough to be mad at a series creator because they're telling their story and not your version of it, but people who feel that parasocially attached are likely scared to create because of self-imposed fear of being bad at it

Panel De Pon Lip pointing to a grave and entrance styled to look like Tetris Attack elements in a parody of a drawing of Link from Legend Of Zelda pointing towards a grave

The same drawing but uncropped with Lip saying "My series is in there! <3" because Puzzle League's chances of return are sadly slim to nil T_T

I love that one comic panel of Link pointing at a grave that's been going around, made a version for Panel De Pon Lip

I enjoy drawing Panel De Pon! Mostly Lip! I still need to make time for the other fairies, like my mains Neris and Sharbet.

She's still recognized and referenced by Nintendo all the time, even back in New Leaf if you played the minigame enough you got Puzzle League items!

I think Puzzle League is looked at the same way as like, F-Zero, where it could be revived but there's little hope for good sales.
