Random Pikmin 4 Thoughts
Ya know, in collecting most of the character trivia in Pikmin 4, I've really come to appreciate how miserable a lot of the castaways really are. I mean, you have to wonder what kinds of people would even be attracted to an uncharted planet, and the answer is a lot of miserable people.
Granted, I wouldn't say that they're in the majority: the majority are there for research and/or monetary gain, but a good chunk of them are there because they saw the planet as a beacon of hope in an otherwise hopeless situation. Some are trying to save failing businesses, some are trying to save dying planets, some of them are just depressed and are looking for inspiration.
And all of them failed.
Had it not been for the Rescue Corps, every single one of them would have died and/or been turned into a leafling.
But I think the castaway Patch puts it best, it doesn't matter that he had to be rescued by someone else to "win" against the planet's dangers because either way he still survived. In a way, I think it's a message about allowing yourself to be helped by others, or rather that you can be the help that others need.
I'd say one of the major themes of the game is that no one can really survive on their own. Shepherd ponders on this in her diary, most of the castaways came in groups or pairs.

it's rlly fun how my parents just straight up. do not care. about the disordered eating. we had all this talk back when i went through a big suicidal crisis a couple months ago, i explained what was really difficult for me, eating socially, restaurants, not choosing my food, etc, and now it's like. okay it didn't exist actually.
mother i am not going to order you around, either you accept that i'm gonna have difficulty dealing with "normal people behavior" or whatnot and you stop looking at me like :/ anytime i am anything but ecstatic at the idea of eating anything anytime anyhow, or you adapt your behavior to avoid the results you don't like to see. i'm only doing my best to handle things from my side, and i am certainly not going to try measuring for you how important family social eating occurences are to you.

there were a lot of shoujo tropes that meant nothing to me growing up but the one where they're "academic rivals" in a rivals to lovers story. where the girl was inevitably always second place or whatever and even when she got 100% the guy would get a random extra credit point. with these ones i flat out couldn't even abstractly understand what the appeal was.
