A recent series from Nintendo, Pikmin has only seen two self-titled games thus far. It is said that the games were inspired by Miyamoto while he was thinking about his garden. Both games star the space traveling Captain Olimar, an employee of Hocotate Freight who is also intrigued with scientific studies. The game's namesakes are the Pikmin, a cross between flora and fauna, who are mysteriously loyal to Olimar.
In the first game, Olimar finds himself stranded upon a strange planet (implied to be Earth itself) with his life support rapidly running dry. Olimar recruits the Pikmin, to find the missing pieces of his ship and escape the planet before his time runs out. Though at the start of the game, the Pikmin are seen as the bottom of the food chain on the planet, by the time Olimar leaves they are able to take on the monstrous creatures of the planet on their own.
Unfortunately, this didn't last. When Olimar returned in the second game, along with his new subordinate, Louie, the Pikmin seemed to have fallen in numbers again. Olimar and Louie team up with the Pikmin to collect over 200 treasures across the planet, all of which they plan to sell back on Hocotate to pay off the massive debt that Hocotate Freight has obtained.
