With the closing of the finale of the second Pikmin RPG, it comes time to design...

3!

Yes, Pikmin RPG 3 is coming.

Players from the first and 2nd RPGs can come here to check the TBRPG's progress.

I think we have an idea basically laid out. (I made it, and we've all been having discussions by PM. I'm posting it so we can have a 4-way dialogue about it.) So far, all of the moderators (and Exo-Fat himself) seem to approve of it, so that's why I'm posting this idea here.

And here it is!

-We could just get rid of 2 altogether and make 3 continue from where 1 left off. That way, we can get rid of all of the ridiculous-ness of PRPG2. Characters from 2 could still exist, only in an alternate universe.

 

For example: Thing is the result of an ancient evil (it launched a meteor) on the Pikmin world that caused human wipeout, and more minions of ancient evil reveal themselves.

 

Meanwhile, Hocotatian scientists and Olimar noticed the ancient evil (a threat, considering the President's planned tourist industry is now in jeopardy,) have developed a cure for the evil, and launch a white meteor to the planet as part of the cure while sending Hocotatians (the new alternate chars) down to help the Pikmin. Hocs can't get infected or go Pikmar, but minions take Hoc-like form (kind of like those shadow bug clones of various characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, like the giant Dark Diddy Kong, that Dark Bowser, Dark Peach, Dark Zelda, you get the picture.) and work like them.

 

The evil gives some Bulborbs sentience, but all escape before getting infected. Thus faction 3: Bulborbs, and characters from 2 can continue to manifest themselves in that way.

 

Thus 3 factions: Good guy Pikmin/Hocotatians, Dark Pikmin/Minions, and Bulborbs. Not too many, and not too few. Creatures are still rewards. Conversions can be 2-way. NOBODY WHO DIED IN RPG 2 DIES, pretty much. And Hocotatians who were infected in RPG 1 aren't infected. So Orion and Tsorag (I'll change her name to Amakon) are good guys, and a minion character based on Tsorag's evil form can be on that side.

 

And Shade might not have to come back.

 

Hocs and Minions get Olimar-like gameplay (and "good guy" versions of the Seeds of Corruption suits, just for kicks,) Bulborbs get "eat them all" team gameplay, and Pikmin characters get their gameplay they had in 1.

 

The story becomes more Pikmin-like, as players get to use similar gameplay to the Pikmin games. (We can say that Olimar had a faulty translator and he really said that help was on the way.)

 

And we still get to implement more Bulborbs.

 

How about that?

Well, yeah. Anyways, let's dialogue about this! (So we can hopefully get a cohesive RPG going by the time this entry is done.)

Oh, and as soon as some people reply to my PMs, we can say the various sub-ideas we've been coming up with. They will be up soon.
