Pikmin: Redemption

Pikmin:Redemption
thumb|405px|right|The first version of a possible commercial for PR.

Pikmin:Redemption(or PR for short) takes place after Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator. On a scientific exploration, the S.S. Dolphin(Which was recently bought back with the money made in Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator) was attacked by space pirates and crashed on the Pikmin Planet. Unfortunately Olimar's life-support system was destroyed, sending him into a coma. Then a group of Grey Pikmin found him and took him to their onion. They had never met Olimar, so they didn't know that they shouldn't do that. The onion sucks Olimar's body up and then the screen goes black. The words Pikmin:Redemption appear on screen, and so it shall begin.

Info
PR is pikmin game like none seen before it. You get to chose a pikmin color to start as and even get to name it.You also determine its gender which plays a big role in the story of the game. PR is on the Wii and the Xbox360. It is rated E10+(Everyone ten and older) for cartoon violence, animated blood, and the onscreen death of the character you play as for most of the game.

Story
Together Olimar and the Pikmin slayed the Complex Parasite and the Empire Deathstool and the land was safe. However, there was another, more dangerous threat that was about to be awakened. And there was nothing anyone, not even Olimar could do to stop it until it was too late. It's first goal was to eliminate Olimar and so it did just that on Olimar's next mission: a scientific exploration to the Pikmin planet. Space pirates under control of of this new threat attacked the S.S. Dolphin, ending in victory for the space pirates. Olimar's life support-system was destroyed and caused him to go into a coma. He was found by a group of Grey Pikmin that thought he was food and took him to the onion. The onion sucked him up and released a single seed.

Next we go to a brave(or stupid, either would work) Red Pikmin who was just willingly jumped into the Nightmare Den without any troops(That's where the stupid part comes in). He had just had an argument with his family about him being too cowardly to get into the Candypop Knights, which he had just accomplished. Inside he finds horrid creatures looking for Pikmin blood and he is defeated by an un-named creature controlled by a flower(I really wish that was a joke). He wakes up back in his onion, with his family surrounding him. They tell him to go to the temple and never to come back to their onion.

Trivia

 * After the first sentence in the Pikmin:Redemption section is actually the opening movie and when the words Pikmin:Redemption appear on the screen: the beginning of the title screen.
 * The music on the title screen is just a more mysterious sounding version of Pikmin 1's title screen music.

Will this be made?
If someone is willing to find me a completely free 3D-Editing software(not Spore) that is not just a trial version that ends after a certain amount of days; then yes, this game is going to be made. Even if someone can't, it will still probably be made somehow(The Wii Virtual Console comes to mind).
