So, next gen?!
I like taking somewhat stupid picture of flying bananas:
And I like how gigantic the boss are now, even dead:
Do what I did:
Leave a group of reds outside the cave, and take a few rocks with you. Aim mainly for his jaw things at first, and if he catches any Pikmin throw rocks until you break some of the armour, which will force him to free your caught Pikmin. You can break his jaws completely, after which it will be safer for any idle Pikmin. After you've destroy a few pieces of armour get your reds and whittle down his health.

How many rock pikmins are you bringing with you? I beat him with about 35 rock pikmins only, left all reds outside, and no one died
Man, not having any information online about these
is doing my box in haha.
Here's what I have so far;
secret memos
Here's what I have so far;
There's 10 to collect, and so far it seems like there's 2 in every area. Although I can't remember where I found the second in Twilight River, I've definitely only found one in Formidable Oak. Logic would assume the final one is there somewhere, but I've combed it from head to toe, destroyed every mushroom and still nothing.
To top it off, we have no idea what it even unlocks. Japan have had the game over a month but I can't find anything, except Miyamoto teasing the Dev community on Miiverse about them.
I found this link http://m.chaptercheats.com/cheat/wii-u/101512/Pikmin-3/egg/2638/ which is either BS or something legit. If he's to be believed, there's a secret mode where you might play AI in bingo battle, and Louie is the second to last boss. If you read the diary after completing the game, you'll notice Charlie says that they thought that Louie was on board when they left, but they can't find him anywhere.
So what's going on?!

I'm with you. I've only got that last
Secret Memo
suit upgrades
I'm struggling to remember which things I picked up are Secret Memos, and which are Olimar's Notes. Also, like you, I don't remember a second one from Twilight River, and I'm not sure if I got a second one from Formidable Oak.

I distinctly remember there being one in Formidable Oak
in a Mushroom within the loop just behind the labyrinth's Rock Wall shortcut that the Are Hint mentions.
I'll check mine against yours once I get home. I know I definitely missed the
Flameproof suit, as I have the other two and was certain there'd be that last one. =)
You should grab the Wii versions, they're excellent and readily available for cheap.
I remember that one in

This means that my last
Secret Memo
Twilight River
I played some before going to work this morning. Game is sooo charming, love the graphics, could use some AA but still so pretty.
Need to get the nunchuck controller from my sister's place for that sexy pointer action. So I'm planning for some quality Pikmin time tonight. Stupid work.

Actually, no. That was an
Area Hint
Shortcut
Secret Memo
Twilight River, or Formidable Oak.
Now that you guys mention it,
i seem to remember that other one in formidable oak as well. Ok. It seems like we're definitely looking for another in Twilight River. The first was definitely underneath the bridge pieces in the second area. So logic would assume it's in the starting area somewhere, or perhaps the boss lair. Time to go hunting.

Just one more fruit before I head off to tackle what I assume is the final area, oh I can see that final tasty treat, I just need to remember where the bomb rocks are in Twilight River when I return to the game later.
AW YISS. Found it!
It's
in Twilight River, to the right of the tree branches that lead up to the boss. You throw one of the captains towards some roots and then walk around.
I'm going to beat the final boss again, and see if anything changes.

The game looks great but after hearing the rumor about a possible Wind Waker HD bundle I'm not sure if I should wait on buying...ugh.
Amazing! Thank you it was driving me nuts!

I just wanted to let you know how much of a horrible person you are.
Don't worry kids I'm just going to buy a pack of cigarettes, I'll be right back !
fuck paying for child support.
I'll kill pikmins everyday until I get me Premium Discount points
Anyway got all fruits. 66 is a weird number though. I wish they had gone for 100 or something
Well, the numbers must mean something. I tried bringing out Pikmin from the onion in relation to them (so like, 8 Pink, then 3 Rock etc) but nothing happened. How about you tell me all your numbers? It's strange that everyone's are different. I never found a number 5, but had two 8s and two 3s. Ill tell you mine in a second.
Edit: Ok, in order I have;
4 (Blue)
2 (Rock)
3 (Pink)
6 (Yellow)
7 (Rock)
8 (Pink)
6 (Yellow)
8 (Pink)
3 (Pink)
1 (Yellow)
I wonder what it could mean. You had loads of 9s eh? I wonder if anyone has a 10.

One day Shahadan your twisted ways will come back to haunt you, those abandoned Pikmin could probably take that Bulborb and when you touch down to the planet again they will find you and drag you off to the onion.
Actually if you got all the fruit then you wont be heading back there...damn.

So a bit off-topic but how annoying was Pikmin 1 for the GC? I picked up a copy as well as NPC Pikmin 2 (NPC Pikmin 1 is kind of expensive now) last year to prep for Pikmin 3. How easy is it to play through the game and put yourself in an unwinnable situation without knowing it?
As long as you collect one item a day, Pikmin 1 shouldn't be too taxing.
_________________
I have to restart if I lose too many Pikmin in this. I lost 80 by accident earlier and then just immediately reset. ;-;
Wait wait, so hold up.
Together, we have 0-9. That's 10 numbers. The fact you found a 0 makes me think the Pikmin shown on them don't have to do with bringing up them out of the onion, at least I don't think.
Or maybe, if you bring them out in order from 0 to 9, and take out how many are shown of that type on the image (my Number 4 has two blue Pikmin on it.
Can you tell me what is on your 0, 5 and 9 images?
Mines are
4 (2 Blue)
2 (1 Rock)
3 (2 Pink)
6 (2 Yellow)
7 (2 Rock)
8 (2 Pink)
6 (2 Yellow)
8 (2 Pink)
3 (2 Pink)
1 (2 Yellow)

How annoying was Pikmin 1? Not at all.
The game isn't long. If you play a few in-game days to get the feel for things and then start over it shouldn't be any problem, even if you can't restart a day in the GCN original.
Mine are:
0 (Red)
9 (Blue)
3 (Flying)
4 (Blue)
5 (Red)

This game looks gorgeous! Is it a puzzle game? I really dislike puzzles. Lol
Its a action rts it's addictive as hell.
Depends on how would you define "ok I must get that fruit over there, how can I get my pikmins to it."

well it has some elements of a puzzle game, but mostly action RTS gameplay
watch some videos on youtube
There is:
one Red Pikmin on 0, two Red Pikmin on 5, and one Blue Pikmin on 9.
I'm just off to work now, so won't be able to check anything else for a few hours. I'll keep watching the thread to see if you've figured anything out.
Haha. Ill see what I can do. I'm taking a break for a couple of hours two, but ill give it a good think over.
I just tried bringing out Pikmin in the orders 0-9, and with those amounts and types as seen on the images, but nothing happened.

Has anyone had the opportunity to try out bingo mode. If so, impressions?
Awesome! If it the area I think it is, then I KNEW there had to be something around there! =D
I'll still have one more Secret Memo to find after that one above, but then I'll be right on to helping work anything out. I know I have two 8's in my set.
Hopefully it isn't some sort of timed lock, but if it is, then at least we'll be ready for it. =D

Does this game have a super guide? i've been trying to see if it does but doesn't seem to be much info
being a miyamoto game and his love for that i would think so?
if it does what is it?

Well I think we know for sure where they all are now.

Tropical Shore

A HUGE help. Only an hour left of work, then I will search the hell out of em.
I believe I've narrowed it down to:
Distant Tundra
-One in the Bulbears den that's past a Flying Pikmin gate inside a fiery cave, behind some tin sheets in the middle. (I know I've been in there, but it bears checking again)
Twilight River
-One underneath the bridge materials in the second area, on a stump you need to throw a captain to (Don't remember exactly which part this is, so I'll check on the way to the next one)
-One is just before you head up to the main boss area, after you cross the branch bridge but before you proceed to the next area, throw a captain over the branches to the boundary space and walk around (DEFINITELY missed this one =D )
Formidable Oak
-One is hidden in a dig hole in the final dark cave area. In the final stretch, before the clipboard and dirt wall (Think I got the two in here already, but worth double-checking)

All these spoiler tags are quite a tease. =P
Doubt it. I bet they would've mentioned it and I don't think it makes any sense in this one. There's the hint memos that take care of helping you out.
May I direct you here?

I'm quite sure that the
Formidable Oak mushroom one you mentioned is an Area Hint, not a Secret Memo.
In pretty sure there's two right beside each other.
There's one out in the open, right behind the bomb wall that I'm sure is the area hint (that mentions it's a good shortcut) and then there's something else that pops out when you destroy the nearby mushrooms that I'm sure is a memo.

Can you please not post all areas as well as the names, some of us would rather have them as suprises. Nothing big, just saying.
