Niantic's AR games are renowned for their innovative approaches to encouraging players to step outside, and the latest update for Pikmin Bloom might just be the oddest yet. The game is introducing a unique twist with the arrival of Pasta Decor Pikmin, prompting players to visit their local Italian restaurants to discover new seedlings.
This isn't a ploy to boost restaurant sales; instead, it's a fun way to engage with the community and introduce a quirky new type of Pikmin adorned with various pasta designs. From the familiar to the exotic, these pasta-clad Pikmin are sure to capture the attention of Italian food enthusiasts and gamers alike. While the concept is undeniably strange, it's likely to succeed in drawing people out due to its sheer novelty.

The unusual nature of this update might raise eyebrows, but it's bound to be effective. Local Italian eatery owners might initially be surprised by the increased foot traffic, but they're likely to appreciate the additional visitors. To participate, you'll need to update your Pikmin Bloom app, a small step to unlock this pasta-themed adventure. So, get ready to explore and collect those unique seedlings!
