When it comes to encouraging players to step out of their homes, Niantic's AR games never cease to amaze with their innovative approaches. The latest update for Pikmin Bloom might just be the most peculiar yet, as it invites players to visit their nearest Italian restaurant for a unique experience.
No, this isn't a sneaky way to boost restaurant visits. Instead, Pikmin Bloom is rolling out a whimsical new feature: the Pasta Decor Pikmin. Players can discover seedlings for these delightfully dressed Pikmin at local Italian eateries in their area.
These new Pikmin are adorned with various types of pasta, both classic and exotic, celebrating the rich world of Italian cuisine. While this approach might seem bizarre, it's bound to draw crowds and get people moving.
Boy, this stuff is goodThe sheer novelty of this update is likely what will make it successful. Although it's a bit baffling how such an idea came to fruition, it's expected that Italian eatery owners will appreciate the increased foot traffic, provided they're not overwhelmed by eager Pikmin hunters.
To participate in this pasta-themed adventure, you'll need to update your Pikmin Bloom app. It's a small step for a big reward in pasta-themed Pikmin perfection. So, lace up your shoes and start your search for those seedlings!
