Pikmin 2

Louie's notes

Revision as of 17:21, August 20, 2014 by GPBot (talk | contribs) (editing page for Pikmin Wiki migration (internals note: from file: 'importjson-mergemain--'))

This page is part of the merge with Pikmin Wiki, and needs resolving. Please bear with us as we do so.

Before the import, this subject had a page both on Pikipedia and Pikmin Wiki. You are currently reading the Pikipedia version, and the Pikmin Wiki version can be found here. Both versions need to be manually merged together and placed on the current page.

Like Captain Olimar, Louie takes notes too, but his notes are about how to cook enemies. While Captain Olimar's notes would be useful to a scientist or biologist, Louie's would be useful to a chef. Interestingly, Louie references ingredients found on Earth (cultivated in oxygen). These ingredients could not possibly be known by Louie, as Hocotate has a severely different climate. This is most likely because Hocotatian plants often have a similar appearance to those found on Earth so Louie uses the names he is familiar with for a completely different plant. Some of his notes say that the creature is inedible, like the clover. In these cases, he states a humorous side effect of eating one.

Louie's Notes, like the Sales Pitches for treasures, are not available from the beginning of the game and are unlocked by defeating the Titan Dweevil. To read them, the player must enter the Piklopedia and press Y / the Minus Button on the Wii Remote while on the desired entry.

Example

Cloaking Burrow-nit

Boil in the shell with a pinch of salt until bright red, and serve piping hot with tartar sauce.

On June 18, 2009, Nintendo of Europe released an article titled "Louie's Notes: Musings of a Sidekick" at its website. It is essentially a humorous commentary written from the point of view of Louie, comparing himself and Olimar to other famous Nintendo duos (Mario and Luigi, DK and Diddy Kong, Link and Navi, Pikachu and Pokémon Trainer), as an attempt to promote the New Play Control! edition of Pikmin 2.
