Before ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} official announcement in 2022, various pieces of information about the game were shared by ''Pikmin'' series creator [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. This information was sparse and sometimes contradictory, and the lack of official statements by Nintendo made it difficult to work out what was actually happening with ''Pikmin 4''. It is possible that some of these statements were referring to {{hp}}. | Before ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} official announcement in 2022, various pieces of information about the game were shared by ''Pikmin'' series creator [[Shigeru Miyamoto]].

After | After {{p3}} has returned more to the roots of the original {{p1}}, for ''Pikmin 4'' the developers wanted to combine ''Pikmin'' and {{p2}} so fans of both game's varying playstyles would be satisfied. | ||
Due to Pikmin games not selling well in the past, the developers were looking for a selling point. For both gameplay, but also being eye catching. At first they wanted to add the abbility to control a [[Bulborb|bulborb]]. The idea later progressed to being able to ride and control many of the [[Enemy|creatures]] found in the game. However, they had difficulity tieing it all up in one coherent game. So instead, the new [[Oatchi|rescue pup Oatchi]] was added, which would be the players partner on their mission. | Due to Pikmin games not selling well in the past, the developers were looking for a selling point.

The goal for Pikmin 4 was to make the entry point easier for new players, as well as letting the fun of [[Dandori]] sink in naturally. To lower the entry point many things were added and specifically designed to make the game easier. Like [[Oatchi]], [[Ice Pikmin]], [[Glow Pikmin]], [[Rewind Time|Rewinding Time]] and more. Another method to promote dandori, the developers made sure to incorporate the other modes – [[Challenge Mode (disambiguation)|Challenge mode]] and Versus mode – into the [[Story Mode]] rather than as separate modes on the main menu. These would eventually develop into [[Dandori Challenge]] and [[Dandori Battle]] respectively. | The goal for ''Pikmin 4'' was to make the entry point easier for new players, as well as letting the fun of [[Dandori]] sink in naturally.
