TSR's Super Smash Bros Thread|SWITCH HYPE TRAIN NOW BOARDING

[TomGuycott]

The Pikmin minimization doesn't really have anything to do with altering his mechanics for the sake of altering them, though. That's due to the 3DS limits. I mean, even with the minimized number of Pikmin the Pikmin themselves drop to a dramatically low framerate just to keep the game running at what it does.

Now if there was no 3DS version for the next iteration of the series, having a Captain who pulls fewer Pikmin is really just at a disadvantage, unless he utilizes them differently or gets different Pikmin.
