Pikmin 4 does some truly weird things with the series' story - leaving its timeline up for debate

On its surface, Pikmin is a cute strategy game about growing little plant people and gathering treasure. Delve deeper into its lore, however, and you'll find fans debating the series' apparent commentary on human extinction, and all sorts of timey-wimey shenanigans going on to make its many story elements match up.Before Pikmin 4, I'd never spent much time trying to make Pikmin's setting make sense.

Pikmin 4 text logs foreshadow the events of Pikmin 2, suggesting these are yet to occur - or have done so in an alternate timeline. |But the more you play Pikmin 4, the more you can't handwave some truly odd things going on. Olimar's later logs begin detailing his dreams - including one which specifically foreshadows the plot of Pikmin 2, where his company's financial ruin sends him to Earth in desperate need of resources. Olimar states that such a thing would never happen.
