''Pikmin Bloom'' is a game | ''Pikmin Bloom'' is a game about walking around the real world. Walking around is how most things in the game are done, such as growing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and finding [[Fruit (Pikmin Bloom)|fruit]]. Because of this focus on walking, the game requires the GPS in the mobile phone to be on, and it needs permission to use the phone's inbuilt step counter, either via {{w|Health (Apple)|Apple Health}} or {{w|Google Fit}}. The game also requires an account to play, and the account can be set up with using either a Nintendo account, a Google account, a Facebook account, or an Apple account (the latter of which only being available on iOS devices). | ||
One of the main activities is growing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. All 7 main Pikmin types appear in the game, and are unlocked over time based on the player's [[level]]. Pikmin in this game start as [[seedling]]s, which the player can then place in a slot in their [[Planter Pack]], and after walking some number of steps (usually 1000), they can [[pluck]] the Pikmin and add it to their collection. Pikmin can be individually named, and are tagged with the location where their seedling was found. Only a certain number of Pikmin can be in the player's [[squad]] at a time, with the rest being on standby. | One of the main activities is growing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]].

This map displays roads and water bodies, and also [[Big Flower]]s, flowers planted by other players with the [[flower planting]] feature, and items obtainable through [[expedition]]s. As the player walks around, the Mii will move and so will the current [[squad]] of Pikmin following the Mii. From this screen, buttons on the right allow access to use a [[Detector]], toggle flower planting mode, view the Planter Pack, and enter a mode where the Pikmin squad can be viewed close-up. In this close-up mode, Pikmin will idle around, and can be ordered to stand in a grid by holding a [[whistle]] button. The player can feed [[nectar]] to Pikmin, which will upgrade their [[maturity]]. Giving nectar to a flowered Pikmin will cause its flowers to glow, and by tapping on a glowing flower, the Pikmin will revert to a normal flower and [[petal]]s will be obtained. This view has a button to enter an AR mode, which will use the device's camera to project the Pikmin onto a surface in the real world, where photographs can be taken of them. | ||
The [[lifelog]] feature allows the player to look back on their walks with the app over time, displaying things like each day's step count, the [[postcard]]s received that day, and the [[daily lookback]] feature. The game also contains a [[shop]] where items can be bought for in-game [[coin]]s or real money. | The [[lifelog]] feature allows the player to look back on their walks with the app over time, displaying things like each day's step count, the [[postcard]]s received that day, and the [[daily lookback]] feature.
