Are you implying that those that feel sympathy for the pikmin look like pikmin?

I thought the same thing, actually. Also, if you get the best ending the ending narration says
Maybe the Drake crashing wasn't an accident.
Hmmmmmmmm?
Maybe whatever DLC Nintendo is making for this game will help explain things.

Aaand done!
What's the deal with file clear time reading differently to file time?
You MONSTER! How do you lose 876 Pikmin?
Y U so defensive?
LOL it's just the way I write, don't take it too seriously (and if you got a serious tone from my post, rest assured that was completely unintentional).
I actually thought you got the answer for it... Then I over analyzed it.. But yes it does give a rough estimate.
Another interesting bit
if you check the log for the last day it says Louie is not in the ship with them, he's probably still on the planet. WTF is up with that character?!!
So it took a couple nights of practice, but the fiance and I finally got a Platinum on the first battle mission:
can someone explain to me what i'm looking at? I don't understand these leaderboards.
The higher the bar the more concentration of people with similar score, the best scores are the ones closer to the far right. Basically the graph shows were the average is and if you are below or above the average. In this case the score is way above the average so it is a great score.

Alph states that in the beginning of the game too. What if the Pikmin are the masterminds behind the crashes? What if the astronauts are in reality doing their bidding as slaves for the purposes of propagating the species?
This game. This universe lol.
This is now my plan. Thank you.
Won't you think of the children!
I am, I'm thinking about the poor hungry children of Koppai.
I thought something similar specially after the ending scene were the pikmin see another object crashing into the planet surface and they run towards it like the start of a new cycle
So happy you are enjoying your purchase.

18 fruit left to retrieve and I don't want it to end. Just have Twilight River and Tropical Wilds (as well as the final area) left to complete.
The
was the first boss that did any substantial damage to my Pikmin troops (lost around 30, that damn
). Just broke triple digits with Pikmin lost, saddened by every one.
Have finally gotten good with using all three captains and the 'Go Here' command on the GamePad to maximize efficiency. Really like the GamePad integration, even though I am playing with Wiimote/Nunchuck.
A splendid game, the finest in the series by a wide margin. There is just something about the flow of the game that feels better, can't quite explain it.

I know the feeling. It was a blue pikmin slaughter. I restarted once but after losing just as many the second time I said f it. Sad, though.

I restarted a few times because of more substantial losses but decided that around 30 would have to do. I could never quite figure out the timing of the tongue and would sometimes accidentally dismiss my troops when I was trying to have them swarm the weak spot, as I guess I wasn't close enough or something.
Pretty epic battle, regardless.

With these stats, the Pikmin better rethink their strategy.
All I hear are cries.

I love how the pink Pikmin look like they're wearing shades in the profile picture.

Until they get caught under a bridge and drown.
Played some more yesterday night, I encountered the third boss
and I almost switched to the wiimote but after a couple of tries I finally beat him without even losing a single pikmin so yay for the gamepad. After that I found the

Still better for the survival of the species overall, especially if the onion is a sort of queen and the pikmin are just workers. There was a subtle hint that the Blue pikmin were near extinction without outside intervention.
I've started playing Pikmin 2 for the first time. After finishing Pikmin 3.

was in charge of a flight where all these golden pikpik carrots were stolen and eaten. I'm guessing Louie ate them all. Sending the company broke.

Yeah and in light of that I found the ending little weird:
I'm sure the Pikmin will be fine!

The secret to this fight is to not use blues at all but rather
use flying Pikmin instead. You can get them out of water pretty easy and if you aim them right you can stay a good distance back and they'll attack well above where the tongue comes out. With some clever timing should be able to 0 death it if you're willing to spread across a couple days.
If anybody has a good strategy for doing a no/low death run on the end boss I'd be interested in hearing it.

That's basically what happened with us. My fiance saw me playing it, thought it was adorable, asked if there was multiplayer, boom.
She's very competitive, so that while she was confused with the controls at first having never played before, once we got a bronze medal she was like, aww hell no. Now she's playing through the single player and is at the last boss (I only just beat the third boss for comparison).

Played through a second time, and this is about as quickly as I can do it, I think.
The 10 days run is ridiculous.

Finally finished with all fruit. Went collecting fruit before going to the final area. Once you've unlocked all the different pikmin types the earlier areas rack up the fruit really fast.
Final boss took me a few days to slowly open things up. Final fight was annoying, with the camera really letting me down again. Lost a ton of pikmin but don't think I want to redo that day, was just too annoying. Shame to end on a relative low but overall e game was fantastic.
Will spend time on the mission mode now,but mostly in coop - I don't really like managing two teams at once - in the main game I can't trust an enemy hasn't respawned so although I send guys around the map I keep an eye on them individually. Mission mode almost needs two of you working simultaneously to get the higher medals (or do you get a more lenient time limit in single player?)

Weird ending theory
the ending talks about 'what caused the drake to crash - maybe it wasn't an accident'. And then you see the end credits with another ship? Crashinas the pikmin look on. Maybe it's like LOST and the pikmin are deliberately crashing ships so that the 'aliens' breed more pikmin for them?
I wish I knew this from the beginning.
Trouble with that is I lose pikmin from that attack not when I'm attacking it, just from when it chases after me. So it attacks my whole group

As long as you want?
No. The point of the game is to collect fruit for your home planet, but you consume 1 juice a day yourself. You always have to have juice supply. But it is plenty. The game gives you supply for 99 days and most people finished it 100% within ~40 days
I'm worried.
