Isn’t the story behind Pikmin something like Miyamoto was gardening and he imagined a bunch of little guys on his plants? It’s funny that after that the fact that they’re tiny was mostly pretty incidental until later games
@mergays he was watching ants iirc! the og games designs wete more ant-like but he decided to color them for clarity
@oxidization god I hate ants, I’m so glad they are no longer ants dhgdv
@mergays yeah .... im sure itd have a very different vibe to watch them swarm food items and enemies if they were avtually bugs dhhdhdhh
