On July 30th, 2003, Pikmin's creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, said in an interview with ''Gamers Mark'' that he had already got the basic idea for Pikmin 3 in his mind.<ref>[http://www.gamersmark.com/news/2003/07/1/2940 2003 - idea in mind - Gamers Mark]</ref>
On 12th July, 2007, in an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, an ''IGN'' interviewer asked if he planned to do anything with [[Pikmin]].  His reply was as follows:<ref>[http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/804/804262p1.html 2007 - "I don't think we've seen the last of Pikmin" - IGN]</ref>
''I certainly don't think we've seen the last of Pikmin. I definitely would like to do something with them, and I think the Wii interface in particular is very well suited to that franchise.''
On the 18th of April, 2008, Shigeru Miyamoto revealed in an interview on the topic of Wii Fit that he desired to continue with the Pikmin series:<ref>[http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6189549.html 2008 - desire to continue with the Pikmin series - GameSpot]</ref>

''There isn't anything that we can announce right now, but I’m sure we’ll probably do something with it. The Pikmin team is, of course, still there and maybe we’ll have something to talk about before too long.''

On 24th July 2008, Shigeru Miyamoto said this in a interview: "...They [the Nintendo development teams] are all working on new Mario, Zelda and Pikmin projects"
Miyamoto and Yeguchi address a question about "core gamers" and whether or not these games will appeal to them. In a nutshell, they respond that they hope anyone will enjoy these games, and that a "core gamer" is someone that enjoys games, regardless of genre, as long as they're good.
==Olimar in SSBB==
The appearance of [[Olimar]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' for the Wii was widely considered to be an indication of the likelihood of a third Pikmin game being released.
