Hello! I'm the proud creator of the Lotus timeline!

I'm a Pikmin series fan with a Samsung tablet and an adequate drawing app from the Google Play Store, and that's all I need. I've been a fan of the series since the 3rd grade, when I played Pikmin 3 for the first time. Soon I discovered the Fandom version of Pikmin Fanon, Pikcanon-NOT, long after the NIWA exodus had happened. Not fully understanding story, biology, or even simple article structure and gameplay mechanics, I tried my hand in a few projects that hadn't gone much of anywhere. It wasn't until I saw an advert for an app based on the Cartoon Network series Clarence that I fully realised what I wanted to make, and for the next few years I was at work. Nevertheless, the project fell through as many do, and having become much smarter over the course of 2020, I recycled that game into Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers. Now I'm at work trying to develop a fully-fledged trilogy of fanon games to continue the story of the original series timeline.

Aside from that, I am interested in possibly breaking into Pikmin 2 ROM hacks, although I don't have the skills nor resources for such an endeavor... yet.

My History of Pikmin Fanon Projects

It was Pikmin: The After Years that got me into Pikmin Fanon, and there are a few other fan games I'd like to give some accolades to. My favorites are Pikmin: New World, Pikmin 2... Again? and Pikmin X: Deep Freeze for their enemy design, Pikmin: Dual Worlds, Pikmin Evolution, Pikmin: Decayed Leaf and Pikmin: Wide World for their magnitude, and Pikmin: The After Years for its innocent, nostalgic-feeling crossover aspect. I would've loved to see how the sequel would've turned out!

Pikmin: 100 Days Without a Ship (2016)

Main article: Pikmin: 100 Days Without a Ship

My first true project was made on the remaints of the old Pikmin Fanon wiki, while nobody was using it actively. Because of this, it was my playground... for bad formatting and spelling. The plot is basically Olimar and Louie getting seperated from The Ship on a random joyride in PNF-404. The final boss would've held The Ship captive. My idea was for it to be a Swooping Snitchbug-themed rehash of the Titan Dweevil, but that's all behind me now. I would make multiple additions to the project over the next four years under multiple accounts (I kept losing access to them), with my latest contributions to my knowledge on the very first day of the global lockdown in 2020. After that, it was abandoned.

However, the game is slated to be brought to this wiki in due time, and when it comes, I will make it my initiative to fix everything about it to a modern standard. Despite this, I don't consider this game canon to the events of the Lotus timeline.

Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers (2020)

Main article: Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers

Fast forward to October of 2020, and Pikmin 3 Deluxe releases. I was so excited due to the addition and rehabilitation of the hitherto long-lost Piklopedia. It inspired me to get back into the Fanon-biz again. However, the time in quarantine really formed me as a person; I was now more skillful, smarter, and ambitious. I didn't want to continue working on what was effectively dead weight at this point, so I made the switch to Pikmin Fanon and put work into Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers. It's based off of the plot to 100 Days, but is now more fleshed out.

Although 2022 would be the weakest year of my life, the announcement of Pikmin 4 would excite me into improving my work ethic. Around this time I was coming up with an outline for a sequel to Shipwrecked Stargazers, involving cryptozoology and a yeti-like Pikmin. However, when Pikmin 4 released, I came to the unsettling revelation that it took place in a new timeline and yet featured assets unheard of in the old one. Would I have to abandon the sequel concept just to please myself? No. I incorporated aspects from 4 into Pikmin: Interstellar Cryptid! Most notable is the replacement of the Yeti Pikmin with the Ancient Sirehound, which fufills a similar purpose.

A DLC pack is also in the works for the game, centered around Pikmin 3's leaders and Moss going on their own funny lil' adventure.

Pikmin: Familial Bonds (TBA)

Main article: Pikmin: Familial Bonds

The final game in the Lotus timeline will be based around one story beat scrapped from Interstellar Cryptid. I'm not gonna reveal much, however, outside of the inclusion of the Rescue Corps and Dandori Battles. This game is slated to be a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy.
