"Just got Pikmin 2"

Wahey, the lovely little game is now sitting in its oversized box besides my computer.

Is it just me or did this game sorta come out without a bang? I mean Animal Crossing got a bigger reception prior to release than this classic title.

I haven't seen one advert, most magazines are plastering Paper Mario or Donkey Konga on their covers and most Nintendo of Europe stuff is far more interested in last weeks GBA SP price drop and Pokemon release.

Poor Pikmin 2, I hope it won't effect the sales too much.

Well i done the whole game with only using 2 potions in total.

Hyper spray them up and then while pushing up on the C-Stick chuck as many as possible as fast as possible onto it's back. Use purples for maximum impact effect. It should be dead in seconds.

Not had any purple potions yet due to not getting the chance to get many berries, and I've only got 5 red potions left, surely I cant use one on every one of them.

Stone/petrify them, or hyper them up on the red potion.

Red potion - Pikmin viagra

Just started 'Frontier Cavern' on the 'Valley Of Repose'. Took in 25 of each colour, except for Purples, but they all keep getting chomped by the white Bulbax's, the ones with the fur. Any idea of an effective way to kill these, without suffering too much of a loss? Cheers

I've been taking it easy.
Completely finished Awakening woods (all treasures), so now I'll work on the valley OfRepose.

Day 14 or something.

I lost all of my purple pikmin (and most of my white ones) in an electrical accident better known as pointing the C-stick down near an electric fence to stop them running into it, then turning round to run away.

I was not amused.
Took about 2 days to resupply myself.

Took me half an hour that bloody final boss :)

And no you don't get the Dolphin back at the very end, although all the Pikmin light up all over the world. Pretty, but I wanted my ship! Still, one of the most enjoyable games I've played in a very long time.

Ok. That last dungeon is annoying.

I got down to level 10 where you need to kill a Jellyfloat over water and grab the treasure it drops (while being attacked by water-Bulborbs, Wollywogs and one of those fish things that shoots explosives at you). Except I didnt have the 15 Blues left to carry the treasure which was dropped in water. So I had to restart the whole dungeon. >_<

And now I'm up to the final Boss which Louie seems to be trying to kill me with :| I think he's cheesed off I took off without him..

Day 18: The War Against Fauna, 134 Lost in Battle so far. Just finished the Subterranean Complex. Man that was hard, got down to the last level and had only lost 10 or so 'min. Along comes the boss wipes out nearly all of fourty red and yellows. I had a load of Purple and Whites, but I didnt use them. They're too precious. Got 1400 ish worth of treasure, nearly got 5000 now...

Right I'll be doing that.
