Template:Pikmin Elements Pikmin: Elements is a Pikmin Fangame made by Kaplop, a user on Pikmin Fanon. It introduces new Pikmin types, as well as handfuls of other new features. It takes place after all the other Pikmin games.
Story
One day, Olimar is at home with his Family. All of a sudden, he gets a call from the President. He rushes over to his office, where he learns that Louie was left on the Pikmin Planet, and the President wants Olimar to go find him. He says that he bought back the S.S. Dolphin since the Hocotate Ship was destroyed. Olimar says a quick goodbye to his family, and hops in the S.S Dolphin. He learns that it was remodeled with the Old Ship's AI (Which remembers Olimar, which is bad, since the ship is still mad at Olimar) and another cockpit for Louie. Olimar turns on the autopilot and puts in coordinates for the Pikmin Planet, and it blasts off of Hocotate's surface, and into space.
