Niantic's AR games have always been innovative in getting players to explore the real world, but the latest update for Pikmin Bloom might just take the cake for eccentricity. The new feature introduces Pasta Decor Pikmin, which you can find by visiting your local Italian restaurant. This isn't a ploy to boost dining out; it's all about expanding your Pikmin collection with these uniquely adorned creatures.
These Pasta Decor Pikmin come dressed in various pasta types, ranging from the familiar to the exotic, celebrating the rich tapestry of Italian cuisine. While the concept might seem bizarre, it's bound to be a hit, drawing players to Italian eateries to hunt for seedlings. The novelty alone should be enough to get people moving, though it's curious how such an idea was conceived. Restaurant owners might 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 to take for a chance to experience pasta perfection through your game. So, don your walking shoes and head out to discover these unique seedlings!
