Niantic's AR games are renowned for their innovative ways to encourage players to step outside, and the latest update for Pikmin Bloom might just be the most peculiar yet. The new feature introduces Pasta Decor Pikmin, and to find their seedlings, you'll need to visit your local Italian restaurant.
This isn't a sneaky ploy to boost restaurant visits; it's all about the game. These unique Pikmin come adorned with various types of pasta, showcasing both classic and exotic Italian dishes. It's an unusual approach, but one that's likely to draw players out of their homes and into the streets.
The sheer oddity of this update might be its biggest draw. While it may puzzle some, the novelty of pasta-themed Pikmin could lead to increased foot traffic at Italian eateries, much to the delight of their owners—provided they're not overwhelmed by the crowds.
To participate, you'll need to update your Pikmin Bloom app. It's a small step to take for the chance to discover these pasta-clad creatures. So, lace up your shoes and head out to find those seedlings!
