#Pikmin Pomme

[francoisl-artblog]

Boy, I love Pikmin 4. I love the Pikmin series, it's one of my favorite.

So, I gathered some sketch from my sketchbook, and made a little compilation ! Most of them were made during the first "Custom Character" trailer, and I was like "Can I make them ? Can I make my comfort character and my OC in the game ?" and, sadly, it turns out I was only able to make a correct Gertrude. (No brown hair for Geraldine, and no option for making a proper Eggman.)

Does it prevent me from drawing them as they should look ? Obviously not ! And I even got some information about them, now !

Pomme : The new rookie of the rescue corps, Pomme is a kind, yet completely oblivious leader. She's the typical "Head empty, no thought" character. However, when she's asked for something, she sure try her best, and is actually pretty good to resolve any (Dandori) issue ! 

That said, she tend to overwork, and since she joined, she didn't get many sleep (Also because she tend to read the whole pikelopedia before sleeping). So, it sometimes happen to her to make mistakes. She's pretty curious on absolutely anything, and, if she had the time, she would do nothing but contemplate the Pikmin's World.

Geraldmine : The Pikmin!Version of Geraldine. (Because why not ? I wanted to play as her until I found out I couldn't make her in game !) She crashed on the planet while she driving back home. She met up with Red Pikmin in a cave, and she kinda manage to survive with them until Pomme saved her. She's slightly stressed all the time, but she's a loving and caring soul. She will protect every Pikmin she see.

She would actively help to find the other castaway, if she was allowed to buy the other members, but she need to stay safe. Instead, she wants Pomme to takes picture of the planet, so she can show them to her daughter, who's been living with her grandparents waiting for her mom to return.

Gert : The Pikmin!Version of Gertrude. (Once again, why not ? It's the only one I was able to replicate in game !) She's a version of Gertrude, right ? So, not the kindest soul in the world. She has a pretty normal life actually (Unlike the main version, who's completely Picked up), and even got a delivering job on her Home Planet, Aridlyfan. 

She crashed on the planet due to a glitch in her ship, and was saved by Pomme. She used to be a space pirate in her youth, and got some surviving abilities that only her is able to use. She would love to actually lead a Pikmin army, but she's absurdly bad at it. She somehow managed to make a Yellow Pikmin drown and burn at the same time. She only ever talk to Pomme, since she saved her, and is a bit awkward at speaking with the others. She actually only want to get back home.

Dr Ivo : The Pikmin!Version of Eggman. (I mean, you know ? Why not ?) He's a former colleague of Russ, but they both went on different path in life, since Ivo's way were kinda forbidden on most planets. Let's say he doesn't have a very cool moral compass. He's life dream is to make a Theme Park around himself, and filled the planet with nothing but robots. He crashed on the planet as he was searching a new base for his plans. He didn't come alone, since two colleague of him, Dr Stone and Dr Snively, got lost during the crash.

He'll kindly ask Pomme to find them back. (Once they're back at the base, you'll get two vastly different opinion of Ivo from both of them) He thinks he could make robots out of Pikmin's energy, and find great interest in this discovery. He would totally do all that his way, if it wasn't for Russ watching an eye on him.

He find a great interest to upgrade the few mechanical creature on the planet, specially the Man-At-Leg.

Also, little bonus on the scrapped "D" character from Pikmin 3, that you can kinda recreate in game as well ! I surname him... Dee. Yeah, don't know what to say on that one.

He's a koppian that got lost during a vacation trip. He's completely unrelated to the others Koppian from the game, and doesn't know anything about them. He doesn't speak too much, but he sure love to help, whatever the thing is. But he sometimes goofy, and got lost easily, so you have to find him back.

Oooh Pomme for the default character!

also could be nice to go with the "dog" theme, given the other captains have dog themed names like Collin (collie), Shepherd (German Shepherd), Bernard (St. Bernard) and Dingo to name a few. Pom could be Pomeranian lol xD

Oooh, i didn't know for the Pomeranian, but it makes this so much better : D ! It fit even more in both way, fruits and dog name ^^.

10 Years since Pikmin 3. It really was worth it.

I needed to make a little something about it, you know ? As a long time fan, I'm just, really happy it's a thing. I wish I could do more, but (if times allow it to me) you can count on more Pikmin fan art on my side !

Anyway, So far, I only played the demo, and it's everything I could've hoped. This and Pikmin 1 + 2 ? Guys... I've been playing Pikmin 2 again ! It's really been 10 years since I've last touched it ! It's just, so cool. Playing it again in handled mode, it's really satisfying.

Also, theses new heroes ? They're silly, I love them. Look at the customizable character she's awesome ! (I called her "Pomme." similar to that old fake leak. Why ? To stick with Mario=Olimar's name thing, since Pomme is the French name for "Apple", staying in the fruit theme like Peach. I dunno, it sounded good in my head.)

Anyway !! Will surely play this one tomorrow, I think it's safe to say it'll probably be the best one in the franchise.
