Niantic's AR games are known for their innovative ways to encourage outdoor activity, but the latest update to Pikmin Bloom might just be the most peculiar yet. This update introduces the Pasta Decor Pikmin, and to get your hands on these unique seedlings, you'll need to visit your local Italian restaurant.
No, this isn't a clever ploy to boost restaurant business, though it might do just that. Instead, Pikmin Bloom is adding a new twist with these Pasta Decor Pikmin, which come adorned in various types of pasta, both familiar and exotic to fans of Italian cuisine. It's a quirky approach, to say the least, but one that's likely to draw players out of their homes.
The sheer oddity of the concept might be its biggest draw. While it may leave some scratching their heads about how such an idea came to be, it's hard to deny its potential effectiveness. Italian restaurant owners might welcome the extra foot traffic, even if it means dealing with crowds on their sidewalks.
To participate in this pasta-themed adventure, you'll need to update your Pikmin Bloom app. It's a small step to take for the chance to discover these pasta-clad Pikmin. So, head out and start searching for those seedlings at your nearest Italian eatery!
