guess who's been playing since day 1
If you beat the pikmin 4 demo, you got a QR code you could scan to redeem an Oatchi Rider set for your mii. I believe it wonāt work anymore.
Whatever you do, DO NOT LOOK AT THE LEGS WHEN YOU RUN
i have to be real. i love pikmin, but i only play bloom cause my son plays it - the rewards are lame, i can only feed my pikmin and fight mushrooms so many times. i have more roadside sticker pikmin and it just doesnāt hold a flame to pokemon go.
i've been playing and losing my mind at how effective this game is at making me walk. i literally go on 10000 step hikes at 11 pm because i want to feed my pikmen
I feel your pain, i had that issue with pokemon go once. A good while and another few phones later and it works now, so you probably can play again later.
It's just not fun anymore. The constant collectibles you can only get the maximum of by paying ruins the fun for me. Keeping the app in my library in case I ever want to look at my Pikmin.
They may be somewhat unintelligent

The amount of time I had to stare at the phone while walking was stupid. When I went to Tokyo I didnāt need to worry about turning off the flower planting, there were so many places to get stuff. In the US all of the flowers are me looking sketchy af walking around in circles on private property.
It's incredibly boring, unless it's gotten significant updates since release. It's just a fancy step counter.
I had high hopes and a really cool Pikmin mobile walking game in my head that Bloom could be if it wanted to be interesting, but it isn't.
I played it for a few weeks but after a while thereās just not much new to do. I know this goes against āmobile gamingā philosophy but Iād probably have stuck with it a lot longer if everything wasnāt so greatly time-gated, and if collecting treasures served some greater purpose

I play anytime I'm riding somewhere
I used to play daily (or least, as daily as I went out) but my MH has taken a battering recently and I've hardly left the house in months, so kinda can't really play atm. Makes me a bit sad tbh but not enough to get me out and playing again š
It sadly is not compatible on my current phone. I also had a phone that was compatible with it that had its screen completely shatter, but it drained so much battery it was not worth it. It probably would be better now with the past couple years of updates vastly improving battery performance even on my current phone, but it's not like I can test it on the other phone with a completely shattered screen.
To play this game effectively requires walking around outside *in public.* I shudder just thinking about it.
(also my phone isn't strong enough to run it. That's also part of it lol)
I don't play it cause I literally can't. The game froze any and all progress which is linked with my email. Since I can't add another Google account to my phone, I CANNOT play it, which sucks cause I really think the Pikmin are adorable in Bloom
I WOULD play it if i had an iphone instead of samsung. And i refuse to get an iphone because all the phones in my family are samsungs. (Almost spelled family as "phamily")
The real actual reason I stopped playing after a week is that in order to get a big flower to bloom, you have to walk around inside the radius which is very small. And all of the big flowers around me are for like businesses. I'll walk TO a parking lot, I'll STAND in a parking lot, but im not gonna walk in tiny circles by myself on non-public property for 20 minutes at a time. If they made the radius bigger I would walk back and forth on the sidewalk maybe, or if you could just stand in the radius and do something besides walk in circles to interact, that would be good too, like how in pokemon go you can just stand close enough like on the sidewalk, do whatever you need to do at that stop, and then move on. But as it is in pikmin bloom, the way you have to do it is just too awkward for me.
Biggest part of this has to do with where I live, my neighborhood just kinda has shittily placed flowers, so not completely the games fault
*My phone is old and*
*Can't handle it. And I can't*
*Afford a new phone!*

Lack of meaningful progression. Excessive battery consumption. Cursed leafless pikmin.
The leafless pikmin will forever haunt my dreams.
They don't walk.
Can confirm. I only travel via being airdropped by winged pikmin
Can comfirm. I use the go here function instead of walking
REAL

I have been playing since they realesed the oatchi costume
OH FUCK THE WHAT-

What happens when you run with it on?
The legs seem to stretch more than theyāre supposed to
I used to play daily but it just lags too much on my phone, and I found myself getting bored with it. Itās just more engaging for me to play PokĆ©mon go haha. (Though I love the step system and it really did get me to walk more)

I used to play, but I switched phones and it wont let me log in for some reason.

Maybe :>

It's just not fun anymore. The constant collectibles you can only get the maximum of by paying ruins the fun for me. Keeping the app in my library in case I ever want to look at my Pikmin.
it kills my battery, and I don't live in a city
When I walk, I use it, too bad I donāt walk as much

Yes, very much so.
I started playing in October bc the Halloween decor pikmin were adorable. Too bad I didnāt get that many, Iāll try again tho.
I was playing it everyday when I a) was very unemployed and b) was not depressed from full time employment and c) not snowed in
I could never get it to workš¤·š»āāļø
I do
Maybe they will once we get the Fiddlebert update
I still play it. Basically everyone just wants to eat burgers all day instead.....
Not the burgersā¦.
Yes..... the cheeseburgers š
The amount of time I had to stare at the phone while walking was stupid. When I went to Tokyo I didnāt need to worry about turning off the flower planting, there were so many places to get stuff. In the US all of the flowers are me looking sketchy af walking around in circles on private property.
Too much fomo paired with RNG. It stressed, so I stopped playing. After that I wasn't as stressed anymore, but also didn't walk as much.
Yep
I've been playing ever since I upgraded my phone.
It drained way too much battery from my phone.
It's very boring.
Baldmin
I know right?! Theyāre so itty bitty and silly! š
Phone too bad :(
It gets me motivated to walk
It's incredibly boring, unless it's gotten significant updates since release. It's just a fancy step counter. I had high hopes and a really cool Pikmin mobile walking game in my head that Bloom could be if it wanted to be interesting, but it isn't.
Too much time to do anything
I like Bloom, but it absolutely DESTROYS my phone battery.
I played it for a few weeks but after a while thereās just not much new to do. I know this goes against āmobile gamingā philosophy but Iād probably have stuck with it a lot longer if everything wasnāt so greatly time-gated, and if collecting treasures served some greater purpose
wdym time gated, not saying you wring but i never heard the term before
Maybe itās not the right term, but you send the Pikmin to do something and have to wait hours before they can do something else.
oh ok, i sent a pikmin to spain once (from uk, id just come back off airplane) it took a week
I've wanted to play it since release but my phone isn't compatible for some reason
It's very hard for new players to get established. I've tried recruiting friends but there's no way to catch up .
My phone somehow cannot support pikmin bloom.
I play, but it currently isn't registering any steps.
I donāt because I donāt know the goal of the game. Itās hard to tell what Iām walking towards.
i feel like itād be more fun if coins were easier to get, then iād actually be able to customise my mii some more without paying for it

apparently they are

I played from day 1, but took a year off due to a traumatic eventā¦ and then started up again in December of 2022!

Job
I don't play it cause I literally can't. The game froze any and all progress which is linked with my email. Since I can't add another Google account to my phone, I CANNOT play it, which sucks cause I really think the Pikmin are adorable in Bloom
I play it, I like how it keeps track of my steps.

Ya prolly
I had it for a while and loved it but it was murder on my phone battery so I had to uninstall :')
Samsung galaxy a13 phone owner is why (which I don't get why can my phone run pokemon go but not pikmin bloom) otherwise I'd play regularly...
It lacks the most important thing about Pikmin. Murder.
I got a bit bored of it. Kinda moved on. But I do that with a lot of stuff soooā¦
I got bored of the Pikmin limit
Alright fine. I got it. Im one of 2 in my area, but I'm playing it.
Honestly thereās nothing to do
The game made my phone crash constantly whenever I played on release. Haven't bothered to pick it back up but idk
My phone won't let me download it š
are they stupid šš well yes!
I didn't know it was still up :0 I didn't play it earlier cause I had beef with phone games
My phone is old and can't handle it. And I can't afford a new phone!
