After playing Pikmin 4 and falling in love with Pikmin, it was fun to play the game that started it all. I really enjoyed getting to utilize the Dandori skills I had acquired. However, I would have had no idea what was going on and gotten stuck many times if I had not already played Pikmin 4 and learned the series' mechanics.

I missed things that were added in later games, like the Piklopedia, and the atmosphere felt lonely with Olimar being the only character. It's also easier to lose Pikmin in this game than in any other game in the series, and I felt really bad about all the ones I lost.

Still, this was really fun and I'm glad my love for a modern game gave me the ability to appreciate and enjoy an older game so much.
