@_Flamsey “omg alternate timeline!!!1” they literally just don’t care.

@ohhhhbrotherr pikmin 3 literally ended on a cliffhanger bro

@_Flamsey also he talks like he's met the Pikmin for the first time in his life during the intro.

@TheCJBrine Not really but sure

@_Flamsey You guys... the full game isn't out yet. We don't fully understand what's up with Olimar yet.

@_Flamsey Im mad now

@_Flamsey That’s Lame

@_Flamsey I've heard some people say it's possible it's a mesh of all his logs together for simplicity state for new people

@_Flamsey His description about preferring "Yellow Pikmin" over "Ear Pikmin," is reminiscent of the ship's comment from Pikmin 2 when you discover Yellow Pikmin. I'm still holding out that this is a sequel or a surprise interquel.

@_Flamsey I think all this is perfectly fine/ compelling evidence that Pikmin 4 Olimar seems to have just barely met the Pikmin… but I think there’s something weird going on. Like, why does he find Moss on PNF-404? The fact that he did implies that the planet was already visited prior.

@_Flamsey This was probably written and discovered on his first mission. He just uses different pictures

@_Flamsey I have a crackpot theory that this Olimar is either under some kind of spell from a wraith, and was brainwashed into thinking it was his first voyage, or it’s just straight up NOT Olimar at all, and the Plasm Wraith figured out how to copy Olimar and simulate his life.

@_Flamsey It says he intentionally attached this info to his distress signal, so maybe he did add some old notes to give context for people who have never been to the planet before?

@_Flamsey Wait till the full game is out for complete context

@_Flamsey They used the Olimar's old doodle of the original Pikmin trio though, that's genuinely a nice touch.

@_Flamsey unless...... Two Olimars Theory

@_Flamsey I’m still on the train of thought that this is an Alternate timeline where he’s forced to send out an SOS instead of leaving the planet, and thus gets bad ending-ed due to every recipient of the message also crashing and being unable to rescue him.
