Niantic's AR games have always excelled at enticing players to step outside and explore, but their latest update for Pikmin Bloom might just be the most peculiar yet. The newest feature sends you on a quest to your local Italian restaurant, not to dine, but to discover the quirky Pasta Decor Pikmin.
Yes, you read that right. The update introduces Pasta Decor Pikmin, a unique variety of Pikmin adorned with various pasta designs, ranging from the familiar to the exotic. It's an unusual approach to encourage outdoor activity, but it's undeniably intriguing. These seedlings can be found at Italian eateries in your area, blending the joy of discovery with the charm of Italian cuisine.
While the concept might seem bizarre at first, it's likely to be effective in drawing players out of their homes. The novelty alone should be enough to pique curiosity. Restaurant owners might initially be surprised by the sudden influx of Pikmin enthusiasts, but the increased foot traffic could be a welcome boost for their businesses.
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 encounter these delightfully decorated Pikmin. So, lace up your shoes and head out to your nearest Italian spot to find those seedlings!
